I Am a Conscientious Objector in Dennis Prager's Civil War for Donald Trump

Dennis Prager demands conservatives report for duty & salute General Donald Trump. That's right General Trump, not President Trump. Prager implores conservatives to "acknowledge we are in a civil war, and that Trump, with all his flaws, is our general."


It is a civil war in which Trump has declared the mainstream media to be an enemy of the American people. Was the first shot of this civil war fired when Greg Gianforte decked Ben Jacobs? Let's put it another way. If Prager believes the mainstream media is in fact the enemy of the American people then what does that make ISIS?


Prager praises Trump for appointing Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. How long will that praise last if Gorsuch should declare Trump's Muslim immigration and travel ban unconstitutional?


Prager praises Trump for bombing Syria after it used chemical weapons. But what of the beautiful babies Assad kills with conventional weapons?


Prager praises Trump for labeling the Iran regime evil in front of 50 Muslims heads of state. But last I checked the Iran nuclear deal remains intact.


Prager praises Trump for wearing a yarmulke at The Western Wall. But the Trump Administration cannot bring itself to admit The Western Wall is in Israel.


Prager praises Trump's appointment of Nikki Haley as Ambassador to the UN. But Trump has publicly mused that she "can easily be replaced."


Prager praises Trump for beginning "the process of replacing Obamacare." I hate to break it to Prager, but Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell have done the heavy lifting there.


Curiously, Prager does not praise Trump for firing James Comey as FBI Director. Of course, Trump was within his right to do so. But just because Trump can do something doesn't mean he should especially when he makes a point of firing him despite assurances he wasn't under investigation. This the act of someone with something to hide.


If Prager wants to fall on his sword for General Trump that is his prerogative. I choose to remain a conscientious objector. I will not report for duty. I will not fight for Donald Trump.
