Politically Correct?....
There is a distinct difference between being “politically correct”, and simply being socially responsible…….I don’t think we are getting that at the moment……..
The Legacy of Ronald Reagan
Why do current GOP members embrace Ronald Reagan as their patron saint, but abhor many of his policies….Background checks on gun buyers, amnesty for immigrants, raising taxes when needed?...Just wondering…..
Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck…
When Donald Trump said “We have to have our Republicans either stick together or let me just do it by myself. I’ll do very well. I’m going to do very well. OK? …..but I’ll just do it very nicely by myself.” sure sounds like the rantings of someone who wants to do it alone….as in wanting to be the sole individual who creates and implements policy…..kinda like a Dictator?......
Offense is the best defense….
These past two weeks, the Dems have launched a full on frontal assault on DJT, from many angles. President Obama, Hillary Clinton each taking their shots. Bernie got in a few jabs, Elizabeth Warren and her continuous onslaught, and many others all throwing grenades at Trump. But for the exception of proven racist Jeff Sessions, and Trump’s surrogates, there isn’t a lot of return fire… I wonder how long he can hold up to this……….
Does The GOP have a Monopoly On....
Liberty? Freedom? Self Determination? The Bill of Rights? Government by consent? if you listen to Paul Ryan, it sure sounds like it.....But he has since lost all his integrity anyway......
On The Media….Jake Tapper, Whose Responsibility Is It Anyway?….
Last weekends episode of On The Media, that aired on NPR, Bob Garfield interviewed Jake Tapper of CNN. They debated how tough journalists should be with Donald Trump, and what their responsibility is, on stopping a tyrannical populist demagogue who threatens our constitution.
Bob asked Jake “So is this a moment in history, where when you sort of let a politician hang himself, or not, with his own words, is simply not enough.” Tapper challenged Garfield that at the end of the election, to see whose method had the most affect. And then Bob asks, “What if he (Trump) wins?”
Jake said it wasn’t his job to help stop someone like this from being elected…. ”Then the majority of the American People have voted for him!….I’m not rooting for him or against him.”
I understand journalistic integrity, and I respect the job he does. As a matter of fact, I think he is one of the better journalists out there. (even though I yell at him through the TV sometimes.) That being said, I just wonder if journalists were saying the same thing in 1932 Germany……
