I would like to discuss something rather foundational.
What do you think about this “new nationalism”? Do you think it's new? What does it mean? Does it mean putting America first? Does it, in fact, put America first? Has this new nationalism been tried before? It very much has.
The phrase "new nationalism" was actually coined by Theodore Roosevelt in a speech he gave in Kansas on Sept. 1, 1910. In that speech, Theodore Roosevelt, a Republican, later to become a Progressive Party candidate, in essence denounced the Declaration of Independence, and embraced the new nationalism.

It’s not that he isn’t smart. It’s that he is desperately insecure, which drains intelligence from his brain lobes. He was so very wrong and he is still doubling down on wrong. He hisses and spits and falls over each time Trump walks by. I heard a fragment of his show the other day. Who would willingly listen to that screaming? It’s as unpleasant as Hillary and about as insightful.
Great article. Thanks for posting it.
This amounts to ‘Levin spin’ to try and make you believe he is still relevant. The labels he attaches to Trump’s common sense approach to running this country are old non-applicable straw men, which he resurrects from the past to serve his continuing criticism of Trump’s amazing movement. He essentially is telling half the population of the country who voted for Trump that they are idiots and he is “The Great One.” None of his constructs fairly describe Trumpism, which boils down to nothing more than using basic common sense, which the people of this land generously possess, but the know-it-alls totally lack. None of his chosen terms fit the current movement and he knows it. He dwells in the past, refusing to realize that time has passed him by.
History yes. Levin NO!
He loses me when he starts talking about how Lincoln was the greatest President. Lincoln was a revengeful tyrant who destroyed the South after surrender was imminent.
Obviously you've studied at the Alannis Morrisset School of Everything's Ironic. There is not a single word in my post in defense of Levin, so your attempt at making a point has escaped me.
Truth! I attempted to give a listen the last couple days and sigh, same old same old.
He sounds awful, blood boiling awful. I can’t grasp his angle, but knowing he was a never Trump just makes his opinion tainted for me.
This is not history. It is globalist propaganda.
If he actually read history, for example Carroll Quigley, he would understand that the GD was caused by a demented effort of world bankers to revert to the pre-1913 exchange rates for gold.
Almost every country involved in WWI had to depart radically from those rates, so EXTREME DEFLATIONARY measures were attempted.
The U.S. unfortunately joined the U.K in this effort, annihilating much of our banking system and grinding the velocity of money (rate of transactions through the economy) to grind to a halt.
It was the BANKERS, stupid.
You posted “support ideals, not personalities” in support of a personality, Mark Levin. That is the very epitome of irony.
Infrastructure spending on roads, bridges, etc, is at least completely Constitutional.
Surely there are ways to criticize Trump that don’t come across as a bitter sore-loser rant.
Well now the Right has what the Left has always had. Over educated talkign heads who want to pronounce anathema on words and phrases. On the Left, they want to dismiss ideas they cannot argue with as “racist”, “sexist” or “homophobic”.
Now the Right those who want to dismiss ideas they cannot debate as being “populist”, “nationalist” or “Americanism”.
The not so ‘great one’.
He is the controled opposition who outed himself.
Evidently we are all antisemitism now.
Get off the air ya big globalist dope.
You’re right, depending on how it’s administered. But I don’t see how the usual bloat, corruption, patronage, and theft that infests all grand scale construction-based federal spending programs will be avoided. Decades of entrenchment are not undone in weeks, if ever. Incentivize the states to begin addressing their own infrastructure needs first, at least localizing the control over corruption and giving the tax payers more direct control over the decision making.
I used to listen to him often for an hour at a time. Now I can usually take 20 minutes, and turn him OFF immediately when he screams.
No, you would not be able to have a debate on the subject.
His proven history is that he would just call his opponents antisemites and claim a great moral victory.
I have nothing left but disgust for this turd no matter how hard you try to polish him.
