That would apply to guys like you and me. We're not playing to an existing market from a script that is guaranteed to funnel $40 or $50 million a year into our pockets.

Rush created that market. He deserves what he gets. If I could get paid millions for my opinion, I would most certainly take advantage of that.

Sure he is. His pretense at intellectualism is all an act.

Whenever he can't just say "I think what that person thinks" and has to think for himself in order to produce a response, he very quickly goes off the rails and crashes and burns. And he is quick to resort to vicious name-calling soon after.

If you want an example of an intelligent progressive, look to Max.

Why the Flynn Win and Strzok Notes are Major Obamagate Developments

Obamagate is real. Can't get enough of articles like this. Obama is not above the law.
Quote:
Wednesday was a momentous day for anyone who cares about the rule of law and the future of the country. Which of course means that the corrupt political activists who infest our national news media have no clue about any of it, and the Democrat politicians and RINOs in Washington DC are scared to death, because they do understand, but hate it.

It wasn’t just because General Mike Flynn and his kickass lawyer Sidney Powell partially won their appeal for a writ of mandamus before the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, although that was a big part of it. The other big deal – perhaps even bigger in terms of the future of the country – was the release of disgraced former FBI agent Peter Strzok’s notes from a meeting held on January 4, 2017 at the White House.
Strzok’s notes are just as important for one single reason: They provide a contemporary record that directly implicates both Joe Biden and Barack Obama as willing and active participants in Obamagate, providing strategic direction for the coup cabal.

Conspiracy. A crime.

The Left Bullies Conservatives with ‘Black-and-White’ Thinking

Tries to bully. It does not work on everyone, and does not work on as many as they think either.

Quote:
Black-and-white thinking is in vogue today primarily because the left continuously models, encourages and rewards it. It has permeated every area of what some Christian groups call the seven major spheres of society: religion, family, education, government, media, arts and business.

Since these are tactics that originated with the left, it is hardly surprising that leftists cast themselves in the role of the good guys. If you disagree or refuse to obey them, they instantly put you in their growing category of bad guys.

Such a mindset makes it forbidden to judge people as individuals, by the content of their character, the choices they’ve made or the actions they’ve taken. Black-and-white thinking allows the left to place collective blame on their enemies. It’s great for getting votes from those who are politically naive.

Anyone who belongs to a “protected” group is seen as a perpetual victim and must not be judged at all. That may seem like a better position, but ironically, it doesn’t provide any protection at all.

It treats the person as an infantilized adult. If one is robbed of personal responsibility, one can never be truly free.

This polarization scenario is complete when members of other groups are cast as oppressors who must be viewed collectively as unable to do anything right. They are not just deplorable but irredeemable. Not only are oppressors required to be hated, but they must hate themselves as well.

We can never move on and no amount of kneeling or apologizing will ever be enough. These new kneelers have made themselves proxies for perpetual political payback. That’s black-and-white thinking on steroids and it has nothing to do with race. It’s all about politics.

In a recent piece, I wrote that a colorful and unique personality is healthier and more interesting than collective sameness and that it is a serious threat to socialists.

Like so much else, the left has turned the value of individuality upside down too. They have demanded sameness of personality and ideology while ripping apart basic concepts of right and wrong. That’s a perfect recipe for mob violence and mob rule.


Once upon a time, the left harped that Republicans and conservatives were simplistic neanderthals who were incapable of nuanced thinking. Moral relativism allows them subjectively to select who is good and who is bad based on a predetermined and simplistic narrative of whatever will help them politically.

Conservatives believe there are objective truths and that right and wrong should be applied to every person equally. Our Founders called it “equal justice under the law,” but our Founders were placed in the oppressor group a long time ago. They are the original neanderthals and absolutists and therefore should not be listened to.

The left will ride this bullying and intimidation pony all the way to election day.

Amazingly, they think this is their ticket back to political power. If we bow and comply with it, they will get their way. We will join the childish, intellectually lazy zombies who don’t realize how they are being used as political pawns in a game they don’t understand.
At that point, we will lose our right to protest altogether, because protest is only for “good guys” — them.

@coldjoint,
Russell Kirk and William F. Buckley would have been gobsmacked by the quality of such abysmal articles penned by present-day conservatives, who may simply draw on all the benefits wrought by the proliferation of artificial intelligence when they write.

Not old-school writers like Russell Kirk , William F. Buckley, William Safire, Lance Morrow, Charles Krauthammer , and George Will.

It's so sad that only George Will still offers his insights and enlightens his readers with his rich knowledge

It's so sad that Ann Coulter is said to have become the most influential conservative writer who also gives her paw when Trump asks her to do it.

It's so sad that lots of conservatives have the chutzpah to tell people what's right and wrong while beating the drum for a crook like Trump.

Or maybe they just pretend to do that since the Republican Party also doesn't have another brainy contender challenging Trump's abuses of power

Theodore Dreiser's spot-on. It's an American tragedy.

I don't want to be a ponce like Trump as well.

@Builder,
I'm speaking for myself as a snip. I know grandees like Trump don't want hard-up folk making dissenting opinions, lest Trump's own supporters hear and even buy into it at length. That's why he calls CNN fake news since CNN wouldn't want to do his biding like Fox News.

Convinced that it's critical for his government to sway public opinion home and abroad, Trump appointed Michael Pack as the new head of the us Agency for Global Media weeks ago. Global Media is the parent organisation of Voice of America, which is a state-funded radio station aimed at promoting American values in other nations.

Michael Pack, ex-president of the paleo-conservative Claremont Institute, is a conservative lackey of Trump.

"The Claremont Institute has produced some of the most radical alt-right thinking of the Trump era, " according to The Economist

As to Trump wanting to lose the election... Here's a quote from his appearance on Hannity last night:
Quote:
“The man can’t speak,” Trump said, jumping on conservatives’ criticism over the former vice president’s speech patterns. “And he’s going to be president because some people don’t love me, maybe. And all I’m doing is doing my job.”

Imagine this guy's state of mind right now, if that's even remotely possible. Everything is looking black as regards a re-election win. He's despised around the world and likewise in the US more than anyone since (at least) Nixon. He's discovering he can't control events or even perceptions of events. He understands, because all the evidence is making it undeniable, that he's heading towards a historical reputation as a clown, a loser, a laughing-stock. Sure, he has psychological defenses for this but those defenses have been put in place precisely because he is so attuned to this grave (to him) danger. An election loss will ensure all of this and he sees it coming.

But he is so poorly equipped psychologically, intellectually and ethically to deal with his position as President that he can't do anything except deploy his small bag of venomous tricks and they are all now working against him. He's trapped. Off course he wants out more than anything and he also doesn't more than anything.

And on top of all this, imagine his legal jeopardy.






He also is as dangerous as a cornered honey badger. It is not beyond the realm of possibility that he may move to topple the American Republic rather than accept defeat at the polls...and the world may gain its most dangerous enemy ever.

The people still supporting this disgusting person...politicians and ordinary citizens alike...are doing more damage to America than all its foreign enemies have done in the past.

Make no mistake about it, Trump has lots more damage to do before exiting the stage. And the damage will not be to America alone.

How about not inviting them to join the G7? Maybe not withdrawing troops from Germany? Maybe not giving Putin the benefit of the doubt and not complimenting, defending, and patronizing him?
