THE CONSERVATIVE VIEW

BY RUSSELL TURNER

 

A GOOD SHEPHERD

 

Ever since I can remember I have always been around farm animals. When I was a child my parents operated a dairy farm and among my various chores was to feed the baby calves; I also had the duty to ensure that other animals and wild dogs didn’t harm or kill them. I was taught when you take a job to care for animals that are part of the family’s livelihood, it is a very serious duty. A good shepherd is a person who cares for his animals and is willing to go the extra mile to ensure their safety. Over the past few days the media and the liberal establishment are going completely bonkers over the travel ban imposed by President Trump; in reality his actions remind me of a shepherd who takes the job seriously.

 

The media and the liberals evidently have a problem recognizing the danger that terrorists and the countries that allow and sponsor terrorist groups pose to the entire world. I am at a loss to understand what it will take to get them to open their eyes. I remember the bombing at the Boston Marathon; the two brothers responsible were immigrants from a predominately Muslim nation. I can remember people at the time complaining that the government didn’t do its job in checking those guys out before letting them into our country. During the presidential campaign then-candidate Trump promised to tighten up the process to prevent future attacks. President Trump has kept his promise. People all across this nation realized the problem and rejected the liberal main stream and their misguided agenda. 

 

Ever since the travel ban was issued the liberals and their media cohorts have tried to stir up as much hate and discontent as they can against Trump. The way they are portraying this order many people would believe that this has never been done before, I can remember when Jimmy Carter banned the Iranians back in the 1970’s and even Barack Obama imposed a ban against people from Iraq in 2011. A couple days ago Senator Chuck Schumer had a news conference complete with young Muslim children strategically placed around the podium. During the conference he shed some crocodile tears about how terrible the travel ban was. As far as I am concerned, Senator Schumer is nothing but a hypocrite and the news media is totally worthless for not telling the whole story. We need to remember that there were far more of us than them who recognized the problem and voted for Trump. 

 

All of those malcontents protesting against Trump need to get a job. People who have a job will go through the proper channels; they are too busy having to make a living instead of trying to incite a riot. The main duty of a president is to protect this nation and its people, Trump is doing that. Another thing the crybaby liberals need to understand; the rights and privileges are guaranteed to the citizens of this country, not the whole world. Also the ban is temporary, my message to the bleeding heart liberals is to suck it up and start acting like adults. It is time our elected leaders start putting the needs of the people of the United States first.
