The fear in both the GOP and Democratic party is visible at the surface when it comes to Trump, and it's not that he's any of what they've accused him of. No, it's really much simpler than that, and both Republican and Democrat parties, along with the mainstream media, are utterly terrified that you, the average American, is going to figure out what underlies all of these institutions in America.
No, it's not that they're evil.
It's worse, for evil frequently is recognized and fought back yet for decades America has not awakened to what has been going on in the political and media establishment. It was evident during the Vietnam war and has only gotten worse since.
For those who don't recall the Tet Offensive was an attack launched by the NVA and VietCong by some 70,000 troops in a coordinated series of attacks across more than 100 targets. It was an attempt to foment rebellion among the South's population.
Tet failed in its military objective, in that there were too few troops spread too thinly, and once the US and South Vietnamese figured out what was going on they literally slaughtered a huge number of the attackers. To put perspective on this at the Battle of Hue roughly 500 US Marines and South Vietnamese were killed but over 5,000 NVA and VietCong died in that one battle alone.
The story was repeated through the country; while the North managed to attack they lost virtually the entire attacking force, while not managing to take one mile of territory. They also failed to incite rebellion, which was the primary goal of the offensive in the first place.
Our media, however, reported that we lost. They were present and they lied, including Walter Cronkite. Cronkite reported in February of 1968 that the war "was a stalemate and probably unwinnable" despite knowing that the NVA had virtually been rendered soldierless in the Tet offensive as their casualty rate ran ten times the South's.
Tet was a desperation move; the North was in serious trouble. They were failing to take territory and losing men and material at an ridiculous rate compared to the Americans and South. Simply put we were the better fighting force and it wasn't a close call. In the first few days of their "offensive" they lost ten thousand men against about 750 on the other side and it just got worse from there with total losses on their side being close to 50,000, or virtually all of their remaining fighting-age force.
Cronkite didn't care about the truth. He wasn't evil, he was indifferent. He didn't give a damn about the fact that a totalitarian government was being handed a victory over millions of citizens, he simply wanted to make a further name for himself and push his political agenda.
Likewise there are those who claim that Obama and similar are evil in their view of Muslims and terrorism and of course they wish to draw a distinction between left and right sides of the aisle. Wrong. They're all indifferent.
The political goal is more power for them and their friends, mostly economic power. More ability to extract from you by force and threaten you with jail or worse if you try to resist. More power over your daily life. More power to tell you that you must bake a cake for gays (because your religious convictions don't matter) but if your religious convictions are Muslim then they do matter and must be protected because that's where one of the big reservoirs of oil and undeveloped people that can be exploited in the future reside.
They literally don't care if you get blown up or shot and it doesn't matter if they're Democrat or Republican. They don't care if you live under a freeway overpass because your health "insurance" that you are forced to buy covers so little that you have to spend $6,000 before one dime is covered, and you don't have $6,000. They don't care that a Christmas Party was shot up by a couple of Islamic Nutjobs who they could have identified if they did care and in fact they shut down an investigation on "civil rights" grounds that probably would have identified the shooters years before.
Jeb Bush has never apologized for giving Driver Licenses to the majority of the 9/11 hijackers in Florida because he doesn't care. What he cared about was making sure that illegal immigrants could roof houses during the housing bubble so his buddies could make money. That 3,000 Americans died as a plausibly direct consequence doesn't matter to him.
Marco Rubio supports allowing the illegal invaders to remain here because he doesn't care if it screws you out of a job. Like Bush, what he cares about is his corporate patrons that want cheap labor. He cites all these Fortune 500 companies that were started by immigrants but I'll bet that not one of them was an illegal invader. Ditto for his Nobel Prize winner claims. Oh sure, they've been immigrants -- the legal variety. The illegal ones are the roofers working under the table or the gang members. That there is immense criminal and economic collateral damage doesn't matter to him; he's not evil, he's indifferent.
Ben Carson refuses, despite being a surgeon, to speak against the medical monopolies. He knows exactly what's wrong in that regard both in the hospital and drug field. He's not evil, he's indifferent to the damage that his own profession has done to you over the last 30 years.
Hillary Clinton knows damn well that during the Benghazi attacks there were military resources available to interdict them. But she has famously said "what difference does it make" and, in her view, she's right. She's not evil, she's indifferent -- to the lives lost there and to any other collateral damage including the arming of what has turned into Daesh! Her goal is globalism, socialism and statism, all for her own personal aggrandizement. That you are harmed or even killed doesn't matter to her.
Folks, this is where Trump is really freaking the establishment out. See, Trump already has anything material that he wants, and if something pops up he wants and doesn't have he can simply stroke a check. He has no need to play the indifference game; there is no amount of money he can gain or lose in his lifetime that will change his lifestyle. He has his own security and doesn't need yours, he has his own money and also doesn't need yours.
The visceral reaction you're seeing in the media isn't about Trump's policies. It's fear that's motivating them.
They fear that you might come to realize that you can't demonize the "other side" for being evil; rather, they are both equally guilty almost to a single man and woman at being simply indifferent as to how much you get screwed and by whom, up to and including your death and the death of your children, so long as their desire for more power and control, either for them or their friends, is realized.
If that happens -- if you quit the left/right, republican/democrat, liberal/conservative game and instead demand the indictment of all of them for their treasonous and outrageously unlawful behavior along with their removal from office and are willing to back that up with action up to and including a general strike until they are all gone and in chains then they are all screwed.
That is what is driving the animus toward Trump.
Watch the video for yourself.
If Conkrite said, at the end the week that 3,678 VC had been killed and 357 American boys had died, we believed it!
In our innocence and naivete we sucked it all up as truth.
There is no doubt that they shaped our thinking in big way. When Conkrite said the war was lost, LBJ apparently said, “if we've lost Conkrite, we have lost middle America”.
The author seems to want the "indictment" of everyone (except, of course, for Donald Trump).
He is not a conservative, in any meaningful sense of the word; rather, he is a far-right revolutionary of sorts...
Thank-you!
Well said!
Hope showed up when he did.
I constantly pray for his protection.

Absolutely true. They are truly terrified and nothing is beneath them. They have been milking this cow for a long time and don’t want to give it up easily.
In some Tim Allen show he called him “King Obama” - I almost fainted.
Shoot, they are the architects and the enablers of it.
A prophetic movie, in some ways.
You left out one of the best lines where he says back to the sleazeball “You’d do it to your own kind”.
that piece of @#$@$# I was only a kid when he was around and I remembered him is this nice but curmudgeonly old guy.
Now I understand why father hated what seemed to a 7 year old a likable guy.
Basically as I see it the ugly truth is "The Donald" is probaly going to be oor next POTUS and the MSM and the Washington Elites don't know what to do about it...
Cronkite, Hillary, and Obama are Evil, not simply indifferent.
All human hearts are wicked in our sin nature:
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Jeremiah 17:9
But those three mentioned in the article, and scores more are allied with Evil. They are its purveyors.
Woe to those who devise wickedness and work evil on their beds! When the morning dawns, they perform it, because it is in the power of their hand.
Micah 2:1
A worthless person, a wicked man, goes about with crooked speech, winks with his eyes, signals with his feet, points with his finger, with perverted heart devises evil, continually sowing discord; therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.
Proverbs 6:12-15
Like a good thinker and businessman, Trump sees the problem and calls it what it is. Muslims. It’s not Greeks or Swedes, it’s Muslims. They hate us, their leaders say nothing, they do not assimilate, they want to dictate and control us. They are Muslims first Americans second or maybe not even. That’s what I like about him.
“””It’s not a good article. If a writer can’t get to the point in the first three paragraphs all he/she is doing is padding it in order to get the requisite lines of column. “””
Lol. Just lol. All op eds should be three paragraphs?
“”It’s not a good article. If a writer can’t get to the point in the first three paragraphs all he/she is doing is padding it in order to get the requisite lines of column. “”
It’s “toodle-oo”.
Don’t know how that happened.
“”Oh. You’re right! So, how do we spell too doo? LOL!
Tu Do’? Teu Deu? HELP!!”””
It’s toodle-oo.
The author is compelling, but Trump’s enigmatic charisma can be explained not only by his loss of profits [note the hit his ventures are taking in the Middle East], but also this ...
Trump’s bold, shocking statements reveal what is in his heart. He is, after all, a human being. Many political researchers fail to grasp that about politicians.
When you research the stats he shocked the media with, such as 25% of US muslims in favor of violence [shocking to many and true], that mosques preach violence [I will follow that and other claims up with links — it is true for 80% of US mosques], and that London has dangerous no-go zones controled by muslims [also true] ... just imagine:
You soak up all of that disturbing information and boldly state it before TV cameras — that sticks with you. Trump is committed. His brain is hard-wired against B.S., at least when it comes to the Islamic threat. People sense that. He is hard-wired in favor of border safety too. He is hard-wired against wasteful spending. He is hard-wired against being intimidated by anyone. These core mindsets are not going to change.

Of the 100 mosques surveyed,
51% had texts on site rated as severely advocating violence;
30% had texts rated as moderately advocating violence;
19% had no violent texts at all.

Trump and Islamic No-Go Zones in England
Five police officers claim Donald Trump is RIGHT about parts of London being so radicalised
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3370457/posts
Serving police officers today backed Donald Trump’s claim that some Muslim communities in the UK are no-go areas because of extremism. Several Met officers have said the ‘Islamification’ of some parts of the capital requires ‘extra vigilance’ and they can’t wear uniforms for safety reasons - despite Scotland Yard claiming the tycoon ‘couldn’t be more wrong’. Home Secretary Theresa May tonight rejected Mr Trump’s claims, insisting: ‘The police in London are not afraid to go out and police the streets.’
The US presidential contender caused worldwide consternation yesterday after a string of incendiary remarks about Muslims, including in Britain ... [snip]

I beg to differ. Walter Cronkite was himself a communist, and he did care about the truth ... in this case he cared about deliberately and willfully obscuring the truth. He lied, seriously and serially, to promote his evil ideology. Big Media is no different today.
People who want money can eventually be satisfied.
People who want power seem to always want more.
