Scott Walker and the Conservative Governors

Scott Walker, Rick Perry and Bobby Jindal are the conservative candidates for the Republican Presidential nomination from the field of governors. I do not consider establishment candidates conservative.

With a failed campaign to his name Rick Perry has no chance. His time has passed.

Bobby Jindal has been out of the news cycle for some time. This has most likely been by intent as he is a strong conservative; the media keeping him from the publics eye. Of course I write simply from my limited understanding as a common man. (but how much are my opinions and those of so many other of my fellow citizens more relevant than those of the so called political advisor class)

Scott Walker is my current candidate of choice. He is behind in the polls but if all the Donald Trump supporters would read Scott Walker’s book “Unintimidated: A Governor’s Story and a Nation’s Challenge” I believe Scott Walker would be leading.

Listening to Scott Walker you would hardly recognize him as a man that took it toe to toe with the left; facing not only the baseless personal attacks so common from their kind, but threats of violence and even death towards him and his family.

Scott Walker and the conservative base in Wisconsin faced years of groundless investigations, investigations declared groundless by more than one court. He was found blameless under unprecedented scrutiny.

Even now the prosecutors refuse to obey the courts and destroy the mountains of illegal procured documents they have gathered throughout the years of that secret (but not secret when leaks were intended to damage Scott Walker) John Doe investigation.

Scott Walker survived it all. Scott Walker does not back down. He does not give up. More importantly he never expresses angry, hold a grudge or disrespect any other, no matter how opposed to him or how contrary their views may be.

These qualities of Scott Walker speak to his goodness, his moral fortitude and faith in God and in his fellow man. It also explains why the media cannot help but attack him. They fear such people and are compelled to lash out against them. It may be out of the weakness of their beliefs and history of failure that bring the left to fear and attack Scott Walker, their shortcomings so easily exposed before a truly competent executive;  an executive who wont play the game falsely known as compromise. Or it may be something more spiritual and dark. It may be that the forces of evil go apoplectic before the pure of heart that expose the falsehoods evil puts forth as truth; an evil that drives professional demonstrators to attack with such irrational venom and the media to attempt to destroy with baseless suppositions.

Scott Walker is a good man, a conservative politician and a master administrator. He is a ‘bureaucracy whisperer’. He brings practical reform, efficiency and savings to government. His opposition consists of the screeches of parasites, ticks and fleas and worms, that have infested government; the unions, particular public sector unions, along with various other community organizer and political action groups that live off the public teat.

In the past FOX Debate Scott Walker was asked about “Black Lives Matter” and the shooting of minorities by police. He took the safe path. In fact he was far too cautious in the debate and lost ground for it. People don’t want just fire and conviction, they want to see fire and conviction. They want the idiocy that is passing for intelligence and the lies passed off as the truth slapped down.

What was happening here in Wisconsin when Scott Walker was asked about police shootings of minorities? The Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors were proposing $500,000 for a memorial to Dante Hamilton; a man shot dead as he was violently assaulting a police officer with the officer’s own baton. Scott Walker should have taken on this topic, stood up for police and law and order. Some may say he did. But what he really needed to do was smack down the victim mentality that would allow anyone to think that this mentally disturbed man deserved a memorial for his actions. Actions that lead to his death and destroyed the career of a competent police officer for the sake of political expediency.

Scott Walker should have denounced this memorial and challenged Black Lives Matter” to admit that all lives matter. Another law enforcement officer was assassinated this past weekend. Such things, and the way they are happening, never happened before. They certainly never happened with such frequency.

The memorial is being designed to stand in Red Arrow Park; a park dedicated to one of the most outstanding divisions that this nation has ever put together; The 32nd Infantry. Made up from citizens of Wisconsin and Michigan, in that stalemate of The First World War they advanced at every occasion. There was a time that when your State motto was “Forward” it actual meant something to those under its flag. They were highly respected in the Second World War also.

The biggest problem Scott Walker has is that despite all he is, he is still a politician. He is mislabeled “establishment” by some but he is still a politician. Yes, he advanced a ground breaking conservative agenda; most notably “Act 10”.. However, when the Wisconsin Legislature took the conservative cause even further, Scott Walker didn’t immediately jump on the band wagon. He waited. If he said anything it was that the issue wasn’t part of his agenda. When the cause didn’t fade, when the public and their representatives didn’t wilt away on an issue such as “prevailing wage” he came out and said he would sign the bill if it came to his desk.

When the new owners of the Milwaukee Bucks and the NBA said they would move the Bucks to a different market if a new arena wasn’t built, Scott Walker didn’t hesitate to work out a deal to provided State funding. This despite the fact that no sports franchise has ever received state funding for sports facilities. A new arena in San Francisco was built completely without the use of tax dollars.

Okay, if the Bucks leave the loss in income tax revenue from the athletes would be greater than what the State is putting out. However a purely conservative perspective would be that the precedent should not be set, that a state should pay for sports facilities. Many citizens oppose any tax moneys, municipality money included, being spent on behalf of any lucrative sport enterprises.

The Arena issue would have been turned powerfully against Scott Walker if State funding had become the cause of the Milwaukee Bucks moving to a different market. I believe Scott Walker understood this. He truly is a master politician. It would have been impossible to explain to the public that, “States just don’t fund Municipal Sports Facilities. It’s not a State issue.” I believe similar traps may have been set centered on the issue of a new casino in Kenosha Wisconsin. Once Scott Walker made his decision it was too dangerous to his political career to reverse it no matter how loudly his supporters screamed.

Scott Walker loves politics. He left college to pursue his passion of public service and has proven himself a master administrator. He is very approachable. He is everything a politician should be in the ideal sense of the word, in as far as politicians are needed. Scott Walker is not an establishment candidate.

What some may consider a weakness, which I do not, is that Scott Walker has not been on the national political scene for long. I believe he will master all the issues placed before him, but it will take time. Scott Walker, if elected President, will bring drastic positive change for this nation by simply completely reversing what Obama has done; particularly Obamacare. In some areas he will succeed immediately in drastic and beneficial reforms; every state has has to deal with the EPA. But I believe it will be his second term, after he has established a comfort zone, learned all the ropes, when he will truly shine. Scott Walker has the potential, the character and values and ability, to make this country better than it has ever been.
