Let's Clean House!

I recently praised Bill Maher for his comments regarding the fact that we need to be just as critical of who we vote for as who we are against. He was on the right path, however, after his recent comments, it became clear he has the wrong solution. He claimed that Democrats have been too nice and need to get mean in order to appeal to the voters. He could not be more wrong.
As for being too nice, if that is what Democrats honestly think, we cannot have an honest conversation. Nice is not the adjective I would choose to describe either agenda of the two major political parties. Anyhow...

What would really sweep the American people is truth, humility and, most of all, common sense. Sure Donald Trump is mean, rude and inappropriate to say the least. But that isn't why most people voted for him. You see, it isn't mean to say that illegal immigrants must be deported according to federal law. It isn't mean to say that we should be worried about radical Islamists. It isn't mean to point out countries that manipulate currency. The pendulum has swung so far into the politically correct world, that Americans are craving some common sense. That is why they voted for Trump, not because he was mean.
I do fear, however, that in our complete rejection of the progressive agenda that has been shoved down our throats for over a century, we will fall victim to history and willingly elect a tyrant. I have yet to hear Trump actively promote the restoration of America's principles of limited government and States rights, or even spending cuts for that matter. But again, Trump has a chance to prove us all wrong and we will finally have something to judge him on--what he does as president. I will stand with him so long as he stands for the Constitution, but I will also hold him accountable if he sways from it. Let's hope we are willing to do the hard work. Nobody likes house cleaning, but at times it is necessary.
