Never heard that Dan Rather quote before. What a POS.
Thank you - cheers to you!
If he’s any kind of bird he’s a dodo, a turkey, or a diseased pigeon. ;d
Good points, Poconopundit...
Yes, I wrote a piece here on Hillary’s theme a few months ago here. I wish this message would get out more and I wish Trump would start hammering it home because it’s such an incriminating soundbyte against the Left:

Hillary’s Campaign Theme Should Be: “Make America GUILTY Again!”

Hillary Clinton must be getting so jealous of Donald Trump’s marketing brilliance with his hugely successful “Make America GREAT Again” campaign theme.
At the Republican Convention, Trump’s campaign theme brilliance was further embellished: Each day of the RNC schedule was focused on four cohesive sub-themes of “Make America Great Again.”
. Monday: Make America Safe Again . Tuesday: Make America Work Again . Wednesday: Make America First Again . Thursday: Make America One Again
This shows a great ability to organize & strategize – traits that will make for good leadership later. And traits desperately lacking on the Left.
So, really, isn’t it time Hillary comes up with a catchy campaign theme that encapsulates her political philosophy? How about “Make America GUILTY Again!”
After all, her entire campaign can be distilled into the following GUILT themes.
. “Make Corporations GUILTY Again”
. “Make White Males GUILTY again”
. “Make the US Military GUILTY again”
. “Make our Borders GUILTY Again”
. “Make our Police GUILTY again”
. “Make Liberty GUILTY again”
. “Make Capitalism GUILTY again.”
. “Make Successful People GUILTY again and again and again.”
The foregoing is the essence of the Clinton/Obama legacy. Notice how these thugs NEVER COMPLIMENT America. Never!
In reality, it is the “Greedy Liberals” who should be declared GUILTY for wanting to steal other people’s money for their various socioeconomic fascist agendas. After all, their programs require the implied use of government force on otherwise free individuals (e.g. if you do not pay your taxes to support their socioeconomic fascist agendas, someone will come with a gun to your house and take you to jail).
Compare Trump’s campaign theme to other recent democratic campaign slogans:
. The condescending “It’s the economy, Stupid!” theme concocted by the almost sub-human James Carville for Slick Willie Clinton’s campaign.
. The vacuous “Hope & Change” theme adopted by Obama managed to suck in a lot of gullible Obama Kool-Aid drinking sheeple.
. Hillary’s “Stronger Together” them is bland and unpatriotic. It does nothing to celebrate the individual and is all about collectivism/socialism. . And Hillary’s “I’m with her” theme is just laughable. What does that have to do with running the most powerful country in the world?
None of these campaign themes come close to matching Trump’s theme of optimism. This is the same recipe that won Ronald Reagan his re-election with his “Morning in America” theme.
The Republican National Convention has been a celebration of optimism for America and a “can-do” attitude.
In contrast, the Democrat convention will be a celebration of whining negativity and grievances from their loose aggregation of GREEDY special interest victim groups (socialists, anti-racist racists, and feminazis).
Ironically, it is the LEFT that is the GREEDY party because they want to use government to steal from productive members in society to fund their socioeconomic fascist agenda.
Diseased pigeon.
Too bad this BG-NYG game can’t end in a scoreless tie.
That would I suppose result in a second round bye for Dallas.
Make Iran great again.
Yeah.
Well, next week is GB @ DAL. Hopefully Joe Buck wipes his chin before going on camera...
I share your opinion. Hillary's sense of marketing is almost non-existent. Even look at her logos and campaign ads: they were uninspiring. And true to form, people did not show up to see her.
In all her years in the public eye, she only learned to win through bullying, deceit and corruption.
If there's no real leadership and knowledge at the top, the campaign hires the wrong people -- sycophants and the stupid.
She and Obama never sold a thing in their lives -- and it shows. She couldn't even cover her tracks in State Department corruption because she lacks the management experience.
It's no wonder to me that women could not identify with her. She's the dark side of human character and it showed in the "deplorables" line and "I should be 15 points ahead."
And yet, she won the popular vote, which shows how close our nation was to banana republic time -- becoming another Brazil or Mexico. We really dodged the bullet. Thank you Donald J. Trump.
On your about LEFT being "the GREEDY party because they want to use government to steal from productive members in society", tinyowl and I collaborated on a story in April you might like: The Great Trump Wall: Guarding My Country, Garden, and Selfhood from Greedy Dragons.
It's true. At least in business you learn to persuade, negotiate, and make deals with your own moeey and resources -- with employees, customers, and even rivals sometimes. This is a foreign concept to the Leftists who just take what they want.
IMO, the core of politico-economic wisdom is contained in one paragraph from R. W. Emerson:
"Give no bounties: make equal laws: secure life and property, and you need not give alms. Open the doors of opportunity to talent and virtue, and they will do themselves justice, and property will not be in bad hands. In a free and just commonwealth, property rushes from the idle and imbecile, to the industrious, brave, and persevering."
Notice that Emerson did not say "free commonwealth". He said "free and just commonwealth": he knew that unrestrained and lawless freedom was not sufficient.
Free enterprise, yes. But also keep the swamp clear of crocodiles.
Great article you wrote, Pocono!
I’ve always felt Trump didn’t make enough comparison with his “Wall” intentions and the Great Wall of China. He could have asked rhetorically, “are you going to call the Chinese “racist” for building that wall too?”
The odd logic that the Left uses to ASSUME Trump is racist for wanting to build a wall should be destroyed with logic and reason. There is NOTHING racist about wanting to build a wall, especially in this age of terrorism.
Hillary's campaign blunders and silly marketing are Hillaryous looking back, but it's easy to forget how close we were to defeat. Luckily, Trump pulled off a Battle of the Midway to save the Republic.

“If that wasnt enough, Boobamba says he and the missus intend to stay active....to take years and years to transform America even more. He’s proud he fundamentally transformed the nation we loved into a violent, hate-filled place. “
Trump must expose Obama for who and what he truly is. He needs to run him out of D.C. for good!
LOL !!
Indeed... We dodged a disaster!

Hang on folks, Ten More Days Left!
We have a lot of work to do. Time for a cultural Western Civilization reset.
