This Tomi Lahren Experiment Was a Real Bad Idea
The Insurgent ^ | March 18, 2017 | By Peter HeckPete

Posted on 03/18/2017 7:02:29 PM PDT by truthandlife

There’s a reason why it usually doesn’t end well when a kid goes straight from a life of party and privilege to the bright lights of a professional sports career. They have no clue how to handle the responsibility of fame and fortune. Just look at the fall of Johnny Manziel.

There’s a reason why it usually doesn’t end well when someone mired in unemployed poverty wins the lottery and lands in the lap of luxury. They are oblivious about how to maneuver the challenges of money and power. Just look at the depressing case of David Lee Edwards.

And there’s a reason why it usually doesn’t end well when someone who lacks any meaningful or serious understanding of political philosophy and ideology is thrust in front of a camera and promoted as a conservative spokesman. They are pitifully unprepared to exercise the disciplines of reason and discernment. Just look at the sorry spectacle of Tomi Lahren.

“This is what happens to kids raised by stupid, Libtard parents.”

I believe studies show that wanting to be famous is a big thing among kids nowadays.

Tomi seems to be defending her opinions on abortion after making a flippant comment about being pro-choice on The View.

OH MY GOD.. we finally get someone that MAYBE young people can relate to and all you want to do is tear her down. She represents a lot of young Conservatives THEY ARE PRO CHOICE. My God, no wonder we never succeed.

If they're Pro-murder, they're not conservatives. They're baby-killers.

Maybe we should recruit Satan as our spokesperson then since a lot of “young people can relate to him”...

More like “a lot of people who are bipolar and/or leftists”.

“Tomi Lahren says pro-abortion is ‘constitutional,’ but called it murder 3 months ago”

But maybe tomorrow she be pro-life again with emotional ping-pong being what it is.

She’s better than many, not as good as some others, but the bottom line is there is a trend toward putting 20-somethings with no life experience, no pertinent educational background, no work resume other than “blogger” - in front of the camera as a “Conservative Spokesperson”. She’s just one of the latest in a long series. Look at Laura Ingraham or Ann Coulter and you will find honor degrees, a doctoral-level professional degree, extensive writing, publications and research, several successful books, and work experience (clerking for Supreme Court justices, Court of Appeals, etc).

They are women of substance who deserve the podium. Tomi and her ilk do not, regardless of how cute they happen to look in a pair of cutoff shorts with one of Al Baby’s dress shirts tied around their middles ;-)

This is what she said on Instagram today at the backlash. “Pro-choice doesn’t mean pro-abortion. If you can’t respect my voice, views, and perspective simply because they don’t perfectly align with yours, you’re as unloving and intolerant as the Left.”

Bullshit. I've been hearing that lie for longer than this bimbo has been alive, and it doesn't improve with age.

If you can’t respect my voice, views, and perspective simply because they don’t perfectly align with yours, you’re as unloving and intolerant as the Left.”

Stuff and nonsense. Error deserves no respect. Ever. "Pro-choice" == "Pro-babykilling". It's just that simple. If you're pro-babykilling, you ARE the left.

And by the way, Ann is 55 and Laura is 53. Tomi is 24. They both have law degrees and she has a batchelors degree (in something, her bio doesn’t say what) of UNLV.

Let her spent 15 to 20 years doing something that actually entitles her to express an opinion that anyone should care about, and maybe she’ll be ready for the career she seems to thing she should have NOW.

As for her personal beliefs about abortion, I could care less. The same is true for pretty much any of her other beliefs for that matter. She is just filler.

And therein lies her problem, which opinion are people supposed to “respect”? Her pro or her anti one?

As has been pointed out, while she look good in daisy dukes, were not exactly talkin’ a deep, experienced political mind here. She should have apprenticed under Ingraham, Malkin, Couter, etc. before trying to fly solo.

Tomi is quite cute and was doing some good stuff back during the election. Appears from the comments that she has fallen to the dark side. Pity.

And both Coulter and Ingraham are funny and witty. Coulter in her sarcastic way and Ingraham in an observational comedy way. I love people who are quick and humorous.

“She’s about to get fired from the Blaze. Think about that.”

maybe she is, I don’t know, but wouldn’t her pro-choice stance have come up in conversations with Beck or someone at The Blaze if that was an issue? Maybe she’ll be viewed as a flip-flopper: http://www.redstate.com/kimberly_ross/2017/03/18/three-months-lahren-abortion-murder/

Sex sells.

Blonde mesmerizes.

How foolish of some conservatives to be swept off their feet by amateur charlatanism over more mature, developed thought and expression of our core principles to the wider world. It's a freak show.

And it’s a problem that they are pro-abortion (I refuse to use the term “pro-choice”). It would be good if we had someone who connects with young people that is pro-life to change hearts and minds on that issue. The right to life is the right from which all other rights flow.

That said, I welcome the areas of agreement we have with her, but I truly hope she sees the value of the right to life and changes her mind on this issue.

It means exactly the same thing. One could argue not recognizing the right to life of the unborn child makes one as unloving and intolerant as the left.

Now she’s on The Blaze, were only Beckerheads will ever see her.

Currently she is way bigger than Beck, likely that will change for the worse.
