“Trump reminds me of the Piper of Hamelin. The Trump followers are following him blindly like the children did when he led them to their death out of revenge against the mayor of Hamelin”

Translation: I don’t back Trump, so all of his supporters are mindless idiots.

My apology...

“Apparently Thomas struck a nerve.”

No, not really. I’m used to raving anti-Trump articles. After all, the Cruzers post about 189 of them here each day.

Criticize Trump for using ad hominem while calling him a spoiled brat, petulant, childish, cocky, immature, glib, messianic, demagogic, incoherent
and topping it all off by putting out the untruth that...”He has boasted that his followers would stick by him even if he committed murder”. (Trump was quoting someone else’s statement)
While you point your finger at Trump, Mr. Sowell three are pointing back at you.
I’ve reposted your articles many times but this and your recent NR article will not be reposted. I hope this election season goes by without my losing any more respect for you, I have no desire for that.

Those who don’t support Trump have no clue why he gets the support he does. The only people who don’t support him are the problem.

Did you read the article? Carefully and thoughtfully. There are several reasons there.

I'm not referring to a situation where the military brass stages a coup because of bad decisions and bad ideas from above. I'm talking about a situation where a reckless and irresponsible chief executive puts the nation at imminent risk.

And that 'situation' you describe differs from the current state of affairs under Emperor Barky in what way?

Why are we “carefully and thoughtfully” expected to read an article filled with infantile insults directed at both our candidate and us?

What kind of imminent threat does the U.S. face right now that relates directly to any decisions “Emperor Barky” has made — from a military standpoint?

“Thomas Sowell has Never ranted like a 5 year old.”

He just uses bigger words. Still rants with the logic and viewpoints of a 5 year old.

Trump hasn't been part of the eGOP "scene" in DC and those that have spent their entire lives climbing the social ladder in the eGOP are scared they won't retain their positions if Trump wins. Period. THAT is why they oppose Trump.

"Don't look now, but while our best conservative is running a political campaign, Trump is leading a rebellion. Not as a liberal or a conservative politician, but as a successful red-blooded, can-do American capitalist.", Jim Robinson

I disagree. We are in dire straits and this nation needs a hard ass no BS Make America Great Again type as the nice guys cannot do the damn job. Four more years of pussyfooting around and this country will be fini/kaput. This PC, MC, EEOC, AA, LGBT, and you name the program has damn near ruined our military’s combat effectiveness. If you have ever commanded a company in combat or have been in combat with an infantry type or Marine unit then you know damn well that we don’t need a PC nice MF in command. This nation is so divided, spoiled, infected with anti Americans to include Sharia types in Gov by Obama that we need a hard ass fast. This he isn’t nice enough or humble enough BS is just that. This is close to the end. There is not the time to punt. In some areas of major cities it is not safe to even drive at dark. Muslim punks are killing ours. We are 19 trillion in debt and probably more. We damn sure do not need a lawyer to run America. We need a man who understands business and Econ. Trump has an Econ degree and he damn sure knows business. We need to start operation Sharia, then Wetback, etc. All queers and lesbians must be thrown out of the military. This lowering standards for women is BS. Our military should not be an experiment for anything except HOW TO MORE EFFICIENTLY NEUTRALIZE THE ENEMY. The Army disability retirement system and the VA disability system have been liberalized so much that almost anyone can get medical retirement and 100% VA disability now. It is a damn joke. I recall WWII vets who were in mostly far worse physically and mentally then this current bunch with obvious exceptions. Yes, those with serious wounds and loss of limbs I agree with. However I see guys bragging in the ER -”I got 100% for sleep Apnea.” Then they give 100% for PTSD to some who never were in a combat zone. Yes, a Ret LTC got 100% for duty in West Germany. He claimed he fears the KGB will kill him. WHO gives a crap.
