Help President Trump be a Better President

The Washington Post and New York Times newspapers have been very highly critical of our elected President. From the time that the election was finalized these two newspapers have set up the conspiracy theory about the supposed Russian influence upon the election and an array of criticisms, critiques and editorial accusations. All of this effort by two renown newspapers has been singularly aimed at defeating our democratically elected President. They cannot defeat the election, since even the most cynical people acknowledged that the language used for supposed Russian influence borders on the silly because influence does not mean “hacked” and no one is even suggesting that the actual voter machines were corrupted by the Russian bogeyman. Nonetheless, the Washington Post, The New York Times, Yahoo and Google have all cooperated in a frontal assault upon our new President and his young administration.

This author will not give credibility to the various campaigns that are launched daily by these two newspapers and their Internet partners. But one must wonder as to the reason for their crude assumption that the American electorate is absolutely wrong to have elected President Trump! Franky, I do not comprehend their reasoning. But I will propose that they think the voters are stupid and the newly elected President is even more stupid. In fact, they would claim that anyone who even considers the possibility that President Trump can succeed in “Making America Great Again.” is crazy. That’s it, plain and simple! People for Trump are not only wrong, they are crazy. But why do these newspapers think this way?

I suggest that they have revealed themselves to be narrow-minded, dogmatically Democrat, doctrinally liberal and people who despise the ordinary hard-working middle class American who elected President Trump. I would even go further, suggesting that the editorial boards and reporters of these two newspapers have lost all sense of proportion and fairness in their one hundred percent conviction that their task is to defeat President Trump, defeat his policies, and thereby defeat the American voters who exercised their elective franchise and made him our President. The war of the Washington Post and the New York Times is not against President Trump, rather, it is an openly covert campaign to put down, crush and eradicate the values of the middle class American who voted for him. This effort is a war against middle class workers, middle class mothers and fathers, and middle class family values. It is a war against mainline synagogues and churches and is an unrelenting Jihad against anyone and any institution that does not bow to the philosophical gods promoted by them .

It does not need to be this way. The people at the desks of the Washington Post and the New York Times are also American citizens. The voters for Trump have always acknowledged this, although, the WP and the NYT would not grant the middle class the same designation, preferring cute slander and effeminate slight. But, that said, it is acknowledged by this writer that the people spoken of here are not haters of America, but have a different vision of what they think should be the future of America. Fair enough. But is it really necessary to attack our newly elected President and his young administration with a continuous barrage of criticism, critique and editorial shouting? If the Washington Post and the New York Times really think they have the better plan, then let them help our new President and his young administration to see that plan by explaining it, laying it out clearly in non vitriolic policy articles and working hard to convince President Trump and the voters who elected him that there is a different and better way to govern the nation.

It is imperative that these two venerable news organizations and their Internet and cable proxies stop the effort to defeat Donald Trump and the so-called deplorable and insufferable and un-redeemable Americans who elected him. It can start with a clear acknowledgment that there was no Russian “hacking” of the election. It can continue with a mind change from Donald Trump outsider and one time business mogul, to President Trump the elected head of the American government and our representative to the world. And it could be sustained by an overt effort to help the new President, carried out with the same energy and dedication as the effort to defeat. If this is beyond their capability, then the American reader, citizen, consumer, and voter have every right to reject these two News organizations as anti-American, Anti-democracy and as being organizations worthy of being ignored.

Syria like Libya is a Sovereign nation. It is Best to Respect the International law.

Any further attack upon the military of Syria is an act of unprovoked aggression. It is a sad fact that some kind of chemical weapon was released during a bombing attack by the air force of Syria. However, this writer wonders if we should automatically doubt the explanation of the Syrian government that they were not the ones who released the gas. Their explanation is plausible, namely, that the gas had been stockpiled by the ISIS gang and that unknown to the Syrian air force they were targeting a chemical gas depot.

Why do I wonder? It is a very convenient event for the ISIS gang and a very serious offense if committed by the government of Syria. However, the Syrian government denied they did it. The Russian government that had effective control of previous Syrian chemical weapons stockpiles, denied that the government of Syria used the chemical weapons. Of course, the bogeymen of today, used to frighten the childish governments of the West, are Assad and Putin. Why believe them? Many would immediately say because they are liars. But is that true? On the face and even with deeper analysis there would be absolutely nothing to be gained by Syria using chemical weapons. But if the ISIS gang and their liberal allies in the USA and Europe could fool everyone into believing that the Syrian and Russian bogeymen did it, then that would be a victory for chaos and an advance for what Obama called ISIL, which stands for Islamic State In Levant. Additionally, it was amazing to me that of all the unreported 22 thousand bombs dropped on Syria by the Obama administration, the PRESS photographers and video media were on the scene instantaneously with camera, mike and up link crews for this singular attack to broadcast injured children’s faces to the world.

It is understandable that President Trump, himself in meetings with heads of other countries, should decry the alleged use of chemical weapons. It is obvious that any civilized country should condemn the use of such weapons. But this author is always reminded of the only country ever to use nuclear weapons against civilian populations in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Therefore, I strenuously opposed our war against Saddam Hussein. I also strenuously opposed our regime change war against M. Gaddalfi of Libya. Both were wars, the Bush Iraqi war authorized by Congress but the Obama Libya war never authorized.

President Trump acted with precision and out of a complete belief based on our Intelligence reports that the government of Syria was at fault. However, to attack the military of a sovereign nation is an act of aggression and a defacto declaration of war against that country. If such is the case, it is imperative that the President ask the Congress for permission to pursue that war with “boots on the ground” with the objective of defeating the Syrian government, occupying the country and taking responsibility for it, its people and its general welfare. The defeat of a country in war carries with it responsibility and accountability for the country thus conquered. To over throw a government and then just walk away is not only illegal, it is criminal and cruel. Therefore, this author is against any further action against the independent sovereign country of Syria. Rather, a thorough investigation of the chemical weapons stockpiles still in Syria must be conducted by the United Nations and must include ISIS and the other rebel groups there. President Trump should publicly declare that he is not seeking the overthrow of the Assad government, which is in keeping with his campaign promises to abandon the policy of Regime Change. Secretary of State Tillerson should not act belligerently toward Syria or Syria’s ally, Russia. Rattling the saber of War is not good policy. Threatening an international coalition against Syria and Russia is a warmongering policy and indicates a failure of State Department diplomacy.

This writer is a President Trump supporter. I still support him. However, I feel that this incident could have been conceived and conducted by forces like allies of former Nazi George Soros, ISIS ad their nihilist cohorts in order to further destabilize the world and thwart the efforts of President Trump to bring peace and prosperity to the nations of that region. Let’s stop acting unilaterally. We are not, nor should we be, the police of the world. Stop the bombing, talk to Assad and Putin with respect and not belligerence and let’s get this situation solved. It’s the only way.

Fake News, Russian Hack, Whatever?!

We seem to have coined brand new categories of concern in 2016. The terms “Fake News” and “Russian Hack” have enter the public vocabulary. But are these items representative of something real?

What is “fake News”? This term points to Internet news sites that pretend to present incorrect or false information as news. The intention is for the reader to believe that the site is reporting about something that existed, or that happened. However, in fact,  “Fake News” did not happen and the reported item does not exist. “Fake News” is itself fake. It does not exist. It did not happen. The connection of the word “fake” and “news” is not logical. If it is fake, it is not News. If it is News, it is not fake. So what is this thing labeled “Fake News”?  It is a lie. We need to stop using the term “Fake News” and call it what it is, namely, a lie.

This leads to the second item that is being bantered about in our media, “Russian Hack.” What is a Russian Hack?  More specifically, what is meant by the concept that the “Russians hacked the USA elections.” Is this news? Is it a lie? Did it happened? What happened? Did it have an effect on anything? If this is “Fake News” than it is simply a lie. If something happened, what is the “something” that happened? It is not obvious to this writer that anything happened. It is not clear that if something happened, that the “Russians” did it. By the way, who are these Russians supposed to be? Is it  the government of Russia? Is it some citizens of Russia? Is it Americans who speak Russian? Is it the bogeyman? None of this is clear, and it is suggested that none of it may have happened. It may all be a lie?

But you respond, “How can you be so foolish to deny that Russian government “hackers” invaded the Internet Servers of Americans?” After all, the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) says it happened. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) says it happened. Some people have reported that all the intelligence agencies of the USA government say that it happened. But still the question is, “What happened?” The answer is that Emails and internal correspondence of the Democrat National Committee (DNC) were retrieved from their Internet Servers and these Emails and correspondence were publicly shared by an organization named Wiki Leaks. This reported retrieval of data from the DNC servers was done by someone using a process called “hacking.” This “hacking” could have been done by a DNC insider, one of billions of Internet users, or someone else, including the intelligence agencies of the USA or the Russian Republic. And how do we know this? It is because the intelligence agencies of the USA, who are themselves expert hackers, tell us it happened. So, we are recipients of information from our intelligence hackers that other intelligence hackers hacked us.

Where does all of this convoluted information leave us?  Nowhere!  However, the hysteria of what is called “Fake News” and what is called “Russian Hacking” has created a precedent that directs news agencies and even whole departments of a government to pursue something that does not exist. What to do? Slow down! Investigate, examine and evaluate information presented and seek to answer the fundamental question. “Is this truth or is this not truth?” Until these two questions are answered, all of the insistence by the various political groups that a person MUST accept the concept of “Fake News” or “Russian Hacking” should be considered propaganda worthy of Goebbels of the Hitler era.

Trump Does Not Hate Hilary

Many of those who oppose Trump also oppose the people who voted for Trump in the primaries. They are against regular, hard working American citizens who got out and went to the polls and voted for Donald Trump. These antagonists to Trump say that the people who voted for Trump are ignorant, or misinformed, or low information voters, or just bigots, racists, or whites who have been left behind, or Uncle Tom Blacks. The anti Trump people, who are both Democrat and Republican, are themselves arrogant snobs, and elitists, who look down on so called “working class” or so called “blue collar” people. They are the problem and not the solution. They are the cause and not the remedy. They are the disease and not the cure. They are repugnant and must be rejected.
The Trump revolution is real. It includes a host of real people who have real lives, and real jobs, and real families and do not live on Park Avenue, New York, or the various haunts of the rich and powerful. And it is their realness that is swelling in power as it rises up to overwhelm and utterly reject the arrogant pride of the anti Trump forces. It is a rising tide of power that will drown the prideful voices of the privileged and smother them under an overwhelming vote of popular affirmation for Donald J. Trump and his intentional preference for the regular and the ordinary and the citizens of America.
This is a real revolution. As of now, it is a political revolution. It is the last desperate gasp of hope by a long suppressed silent majority. It is their last desperate faith in a system that has been corrupted and rigged against them. And they are the ones, the so called clueless taxpayers, who are arrogantly expected to pay for it,-they are the ones who are still hope filled by one man, Donald J. Trump–a billionaire, who like a champion, has entered the arena and volunteered to fight for their cause.
If you, my friend, are reading this, I ask you to vote for Mr. Trump. If you are indeed a friend, and I acknowledge that assertion to be a bold one, nonetheless, if you are a friend, I ask you to share the hope filled and faith filled and reality filled message of Donald Trump. American is supposed to be great. I really believe that is our destiny. Not as a matter of undue pride, but as a humble acceptance of the burden of greatness.
Friends, this writer is a Christian. I am not afraid nor am I ashamed of it. However, I accept and acknowledge that there are Jews, and Hindus, and witch-ans and Confucians, and Shinto-ans, and many other good people of God’s Spirit who are anxious about our America. Trump has no exclusive claim on them nor they on him. But please allow me to assert, that he, Donald J. Trump, and he alone, is standing forward and bravely accepting the derision of those who mock and laugh and deride our faiths, and mock us as they say that we “cling to our guns and our Bibles”.
The author of this article has been involved in political and social revolution before. These have failed. Why? Because good people, people who said that they were on our side, failed to follow through. Your author is afraid of the same result, but I am asking you not to accept the same result–failure. My heart and soul cry out to you to rise up and to go out and to vote for a successful political revolution. Vote for Trump. Your vote is important. If you vote, it will change America for the better. It will change America forever.

Moderates for Trump

When is it time to moderate your viewpoint in order to achieve success?  This is a very important question for the voters in this 2016 election.  It is not concerning only the Presidential candidates, but also the Senate and House of Representatives candidates.

Tuesday, August 9, 2016 Republican House member Paul Ryan won his primary battle against a newcomer.  It was an important event because Representative Ryan is also Speaker of the House of Representatives.  Therefore, he is third in line of succession to the Presidency if both the President and Vice President should be killed.  He is also the leader of the House and it is from there that a great deal of legislation originates and it is from there that all money legislation starts.  As the Speaker of the House, Ryan is either an ally or a foe of the President and Executive policies. In a very real sense, Speaker Ryan is the head of the legislative branch, even as Chief Justice Roberts is the head of the Judicial branch and if elected, Donald Trump will be of the Executive branch.  All of them supposed to be equal in power so as to safeguard against any one branch of government becoming dictatorial.

Ryan is a member of the Republican party.  At the beginning of this election cycle Speaker Ryan seemed hostile to the potential of Mr. Donald J. Trump becoming the Republican nominee for President.  Eventually, Mr. Trump became the nominee, and met with Mr. Ryan to overcome any objections that Speaker Ryan had about candidate Trump.  Recently, a seeming disconnect occurred when Mr. Trump seemed to support Mr. Ryan’s opponent at the Primary level.  Much commotion was caused by the media, but Mr. Ryan affirmed his support for Mr. Trump and Mr. Trump officially endorsed Paul Ryan.

Does it matter?  Who knows?  But it was a symbol  to this writer that voters will need to moderate their political positions in response to the extraordinary opportunity to elect a truly non politician Mr. Trump.  Why?  Because there is a new American Revolution happening.  It is a political revolution. It is a revolution of the workers against those who do not care to work.  It is a revolution of business people against those who would tax businesses out of existence.  It is a revolution of union workers against those who approve of exporting their jobs to foreign countries.  It is a revolution of citizens against those who seek citizenship by breaking the law,  It is a revolution of middle class people against effete snobs in universities who take their money and use it to turn their children’s values against them- a middle class that is tired of Black Lives Matter, of Occupy Wall Street, of Ferguson and looting, of agitators who burn down neighborhoods hooded Muslim athletes, spitting out their hate for America and  of anti morality advocates who claim that if a man wants to pretend he is a women and enter a woman’s bathroom, it is OK.   It is a revolution of all Americans against liars, cheaters, phonies, manipulators, and elite political careerists who think that they are owed the Presidency because they are the “best qualified” for the job.

Yes, this writer is a Trump advocate.  Yes, this writer is a moral conservative.  Yes, this writer identifies with the Republican party.  However, “yours truly” supports Mr. Trump because I believe that the New American Political Revolution that we daily experience has made him the voice of the disenfranchised American who is told to give over America to immigrants who for twenty years have succeeded in breaking the law.  A Revolution of disgusted Americans who see the results of a President who disparages them for clinging to their Bibles and guns and who started his administration by claiming that the White (his words) cop in Cambridge, acted foolishly; of Americans who are still startled by Secretary of State Clinton’s testimony about the murder of four embassy personnel in  Benghazi, Libya, ” What difference does it make, they are dead?!”

The New American Revolution represented by Donald Trump is a political revolution.   It is one last expression of American citizens that they may be able to save the USA from its spiral into the oblivion of Presidential executive orders and a newspaper and news reporting system that constantly treats them as stupid people to be used, manipulated, lied to and propagandized.  And Donald Trump?  Billionaire business man and Republican nominee for President, what of him?  He did not make the New American Revolution,  It made him.  He did not convince people to believe as they do, they find in him a leader willing to listen to their beliefs and to respect their opinions and to honor them as citizens of the USA.   This New American Revolution is political for now.  It is based on hope, the hope of a majority of citizens who have been ill treated by their leaders, lied to by their media and who have seen their beloved nation delivered to illegals, law breakers, and college teachers who despise them and seek to turn their own children against them.

Will this phenomenon remain political?  Who knows!  If the religious right cannot moderate their views to embrace Donald Trump, the revolution may fail.  If the Conservatives cannot moderate their views to accept a less than “pure” conservative in Donald Trump, it may fail.  If the vast rank and file of adherents to the Democrat party cannot move toward Mr. Trump, it will fail.  But its failure, if it happens, may be the new strident revolution that dismisses politics and like a Phoenix from the ashes rises to create a new reality, a viable third political party that will forever change the power structure of America.

Trump is a Leader and Not a Politician

Much is made about Trump not being politically expert. Those who oppose him, like the fifty former Republican operatives of previous administrations, claim that he is not like them. Therefore, he is not qualified to be President. This is funny because they think that being like them is a asset. It amazes this writer that they do not understand that it is precisely because Donald J. Trump is not like them that millions of Americans have joined the New American Revolution and made Trump their voice. The failed programs and political and economic policies of the past are being rejected by America. We want a business man to be our national Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Commander in Chief, (President). In Donald Trump we have even more, we have a very successful businessman, an experienced CEO and a very qualified CFO.

And as far as Commander In Chief, we have someone who understands the enormous military power of the USA.Donald Trump appreciates the great value of the life of every Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine and Coast Guard member. He will never waste their lives on foreign soil for mere political reasons. He will never sacrifice, needlessly, the lives of our CIA, FBI, or Ambassadors, like Obama and Hilary did in Benghazi. Donald Trump regards our military with profound respect.

This writer has a dear friend in the Security Services of the USA and he tells me that unlike Hilary, who regards security personnel with disdain, Donald Trump treats his federal protectors with very deep respect and appreciation. He thanks them regularly, he is interested in their lives, their life stories and their families. He is cooperative and always tells them that he does not want to act in any way to compromise them or their safety. They say of him that he has all the qualities and personal attitudes of a leader and not merely a politician. Donald Trump is not a politician. He is the leader America needs and the Leader America wants.

The Trump Revolution is Real

Just look at the attendance and the enthusiasm at the Trump Rallies.  Packed arenas.  Lots of young people.  Attendees who will vote in November.  The Trump Revolution is real.

Yes, it does baffle some on the left.  They cannot understand that people who work for a living could possibly like the Billionaire, Donald Trump.  But it is exactly because they do work for a living that the people of the revolution understand and want Trump.  They know the importance of a job. They understand that they have entrepreneur leaders, Masters of Business Administration project managers, and work site supervisors who worked their way up from the bottom. They understand that these are the people Donald Trump hires and these are the people that hire them.   They understand that the big buildings of steel and glass were built by the employees of Donald Trump and that these workers were paid by the Trump organization.  The appreciate the need for hard core, solidly based, forward thinking, revolutionary business people in order to create new and better jobs and more and higher paying positions for those who achieve.  These are people not baffled by Donald Trump, they like him.

At the start of this American Political Revolution, the pundits, the career television commentators and the newly minted college graduate news reporters talked a lot about voter’s outrage and about blue collar anger and white middle class Bible believers and gun owners who should be dismissed as not worthy to be considered.  After Trump’s initial successes there was a lot of TV chatter that this was merely the middle class suburban people expressing their frustration with modern life.  It was inferred that they were backward looking nostalgic people trying to cling to their religion, guns and childhood memories.  In all of this the attitude of those giving us their views on TV and news was that whites, middle class suburbanites, and blue collar workers should be ashamed of themselves.  The reporters used condescending language and expressive body language to show their disdain for those who are the heart and soul of America.   And this heart and soul of American resonates to the message that Donald Trump gives.  They have made him their voice.

Yes, this new American revolution is political, for now!  But there is a growing anxiety among its people that the powerful, and the careerist politicians, and the news media will join forces to quell the rebellion and crush the revolution.  Many would say that this assessment is correct and that once the new American political revolution is put down then all can rest easy.  But this may be a very big mistake.  The people started the Taxed Enough Already (TEA) movement and this was stolen from them by establishment politicians and made into an institution.  The TEA patriots didn’t resist.  They thought it was good.  They elected people who spoke the TEA words in the hope that they were sincere.  They have been disappointed and have leeched away from TEA.  Donald Trump is seen as an answer to their disappointment.

Many flocked to Republican libertarian Senator Rand Paul.  He was a viable and is still a credible source of hope for Americans.  But Senator Rand Paul was under funded and could not sustain the race for President.  Thankfully, he is a candidate for Senator from Kentucky.  Others ran to Senator Marco Rubio, a new voice, a young face and a solid message of hope.  But Senator Rubio was also underfunded and could not sustain the primaries.  Thankfully, Donald Trump encouraged him not to give up on a race for Senate and Marco Rubio is back on the election scene, a viable choose for Florida.   Many young, idealistic and enthusiastic people turned to Senator Bernie Sanders.  But Senator Sanders was undermined by the Hilary Clinton controlled Democratic National Committee.  He was stabbed in the back by Debbie Wassermann Schultz a DNC operative.  But more sad is Bernie Sander’s sell out of his ideas and ideals to Hilary Clinton- a sell out that brought tears of genuine hurt to his followers and calls of outrage for his duplicity.

At the end of the day there was only one man standing to carry the burden for his Republican party and be the voice for the disenfranchised and oppressed middle class.  Mr. Donald Trump stood up, stood tall, and stood fast in the face of unrelenting attack.  And the patriots of the New American Revolution know it and they will speak up and spread the revolution.

Rand Paul’s Speech to Senators was Courageous

Senator Rand Paul stood up in the Senate and addressed his fellow Senators to not allow the continuation of irresponsible spending. He pointedly used charts to show graphically how the Continuing Resolution by the Senate will allow spending to foolishly increase. His speech was informed, bold, accurate, and courageous. It was a well researched speech that used facts and figures to state his case for the American people. He used graphs and charts as visual aids so that people could see as well as hear the facts. Unlike others, Senator Paul was not simplistic, or shrill in his speech. He did not embarrass the American people or the Senators by using accusations sullying the character of his fellow Senators. He boldly spoke to them in person. He boldly asked them to change their minds and vote down the Continuing Resolution. He was accurate in his statements that the American people expect their Senators to made the tough and right decisions to stop runaway federal spending. And he was courageous because he stood up personally on the floor of the Senate chamber in the US Capitol and went on the record explaining why he was voting against the Continuing Resolution.

Mr. Donald Trump, also a candidate running for the Republican nomination, has stated that Senator Paul and others should drop out of the race for the nomination. This writer thinks of it as Mr. Trump’s issuing a “you’re Fired” to Senator Paul. One thing, all of the candidates are running for the Republican nomination. We are not even to the election year contest. There is no reason for Senator Paul or anyone else to drop out until the Republican party has chosen its nominee. This will be done through the votes of registered Republicans at the State level and through the groups called Caucuses. It should not be done by news polls, media polls, conservation talk show hosts, or the TV network debate system. It is not their prerogative to arbitrarily decide for the voters who they will be allowed to nominate. Members of each party reserve that prerogative for themselves.

Senator Rand Paul is a reasoned political personality who has been elected and has served with honor and distinction in the US Senate. His campaign staff is professional and he has raised enough money to pay for that staff and their expertise. Unlike Mr. Trump, Senator Paul is not a billionaire. He has money, indeed, from his practice of Physician. And his fiscal responsibility is a legend. He has returned sizable amounts of money to the federal government from his Senate operations budget. This he has done each year and this year it amounted to a refund TO the federal government of over one million dollars. In every way Senator Rand Paul is distinguished by his disciplined, reasoned, informed, bold and courageous programs to help America get better.

Why Donald Trump?

Why is so much attention being focused on Mr. Donald Trump? The other candidates are barely getting any press coverage. It is not because they do not have something to say. It is not because they do not have programs and solutions to offer. It is not because they do not have excellent campaign organizations. It is because the press and the major media are giving Mr. Trump so much coverage. Why do they do this? Mr. Trump is a flashy candidate who they find entertaining and therefore as someone who will help them sell their news. The other candidates with more political knowledge and experience are forced out of the news by the antics of the often clownish antics of Mr. Trump. That is too bad. It would be an injustice to America to promote one political upstart just because he is entertaining while ignoring the others who may have things of more substance and importance to contribute.

Sean Hannity’s Problem with John Boehner

On the December 16 Sean Hannity show, he once again attacked Speaker John Boehner. It was in a segment with former congressman Allen West. Hannity attacked Speaker Boehner for not consulting the so called conservative base of the Republican party. Hannity has a serious personal problem with John Boehner. Why do I say this? It is because at every opportunity Sean brings up Boehner as not doing what Hannity wants him to do. Speaking of Presidential politics, Sean Hannity repeatedly raised Speaker Boehner as an example of weak leadership, poor judgement and a refusal to adhere to conservative Republican party principles. One had to wonder why Sean Hannity thought that John Boehner was running for President? One wondered why he thought that speaker Boehner should be obeying the dictates of Senators Cruz and Lee? There was no opposition to Sean Hannity from LTC West or from Karl Rove. They were either silent (Rove) or totally agreed (West). This writer likes Congressman West, and I was disappointed by his obsequious head nodding to Hannity’s attacks on Speaker Boehner.
I remember how the conservative talk show hosts helped to win the 2012 election for President Obama. First, they talked about Obama every day while ignoring Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan. This meant three hours of talk about President Obama from Rush Limbaugh, three hours from Sean Hannity, and three hours from Mark Levin. Second, they did not endorse Romney/Ryan until the very end, and then only with reservations and warnings. All three called Romney a RINO, which means a Republican In Name Only. They helped defeat the Republican candidates in 2012. Their constant rant against Romney in the primary season could not be withdrawn in the election cycle and was not forgotten by their millions of listeners.
So, now, we have all three attacking the Republicans, namely Speaker Boehner, because he will not conduct himself in obedient adherence to what Hannity, Limbaugh or Levin tell him. This infuriates Sean Hannity and he daily brings Speaker Boehner into every discussion. Tonight, at least, he did not call Speaker Boehner a coward or someone who acts cowardly. Hannity did that last week. Instead he called Speaker Boehner, weak, uninspiring, and incapable of enforcing the conservative Republican agenda on the House of Representatives.
Sean Hannity has a personal prejudice against Speaker John Boehner. Because of his persistent harping on his dislike for Boehner his feelings seem like irrational anger. Sean Hannity has to stop his relentless small-minded and highly personal attacks against John Boehner. He cannot hide his dislike for the speaker by using politics. He has a problem with Boehner. He daily reminds his viewers of his problem. One wonders if he thinks that we all agree with him or that he can bludgeon us into agreeing with him. He cannot, and should stop treating his viewers as though they are stupid.
