He used to be a regular guest on Hugh Hewitt, along with Bill Crystal, Jennifer Rubin, Jonah Goldberg and the rest of the pathetic NeverTrumpers.

During the 2016 primary season, Max Boot, a foreign policy advisor to Little Marco, said, "I would sooner vote for Josef Stalin than I would vote for Donald Trump. There is no way in hell I would ever vote for him. I would far more readily support Hillary Clinton, or Bloomberg if he ran."


Max Boot's dream ticket
(Those two later had a falling out)

Max was born in Moscow.

I can’t see a military coup from a military that has experienced the strongest support from a seated president since I don’t know when..............

Boot is quoting Oliver Cromwell’s adress to Parliament to make an address to Congress, in order to attack Trump.

If he had any love for America and American history, he could have (with as much historical cachet, and more relevance) quoted Patrick Henry:

“Caesar had his Brutus, Charles the First his Cromwell; and George the Third — “ [’Treason!’ cried the Speaker] “ — may profit by their example. If this be treason, make the most of it.”

Or, alternatively, he could have quoted the preamble to the Declaration of Independence.

No matter how strong his urge for the overthrow of Trump, though, his aversion to the Founding Fathers is even stronger. It prohibits him from using them as his source of a quotation, because their principles would undermine his argument.

These people are insane and I for one am ready to go to war with them. They are like little 5 year olds who didn’t get their way on the playground and are throwing a temper tantrum only it is much more serious than that. They have no problem destroying out legal system, our political system or our educational system in order for them to get and hold power. They do not deserve reason and discussion, but war.

This is a misapplied analogy. The real analogy would be Trump throwing out Congress (”in the name of God, Go!”) just as Oliver Cromwell threw out the members of Parliament for the abuse and neglect of their powers.

By the way, you who are interested in Oliver Cromwell’s rule as Lord Protector, consider this comment from one biographer of Cromwell’s life: “If England had to be governed by saints with swords in their hands, it was a great mercy to know that the commanding saint thought of himself only as a seeker after Divine truth and not as someone who had found it. He commits some violent acts while he is looking for it, but, in the long run, the tyranny of his theocracy is always tempered by humility, magnanimity, and common sense.” Alan Simpson, Puritanism in Old and New England. University of Chicago Press, 1955, page 88.

Boot has it reversed.

Tea Party and Trump are the Puritans.

Swamp are the Royalists.

>Incredible how many American jews hate Trump.
I would live to know why.

If you talk to them in private, they hate Christians and Trump is the most Christian friendly President I can remember.

Conservatives watched as Obama literally did his best to destroy this nation. He trashed our allies and rewarded our worst enemies including at least four different terrorist groups. (the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, al Qaeda, and ISIS)

He rewarded Iran by giving them cover to continue their nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles program. As if that wasn’t enough, he gifted Iran $1.5 billion dollars in cash.

He helped to overturn two nation’s leadership, Libya and Egypt. Libya was stable and not causing the U. S. problems, and Egypt was an ally of the United States. Hozni Mubarack had been our friend for around three decades. No matter...

Obama was out to cause as much foreign and domestic chaos as he could.

At home he winked at riots, racial strife, and fanned the flames of any racial strife he could instigate, and he instigated plenty.

One could spend hours talking about all the different things Obama did to cause our nation problems, not the least of which was screwing with our military every way he could.

Did we try to pull a coup?

The Left is about 1,999.9 pounds shy of a ton, when it comes to heavy-weight issues.

The lies, the sedition, the calls for coups..., the danger grows by the day.

If we had an Attorney General worth his salt, he would be looking into some of this and working up some charges.

Sadly, we don’t. The closest thing to it, is a bunch of loyalists who have turned apologist, to cover this irresponsible ass.

It is very, very troubling.

The American Jews in NYC hate Trump.

Who is Max Boot and why should I care what he thinks?
