Another historical illiterate.

The parties have in fact changed sides of the aisle since the War Between the States. 1860 Democrats were limited government social and political conservatives with roots in Jefferson’s Anti-Federalism. 1860 Republicans were big government liberals taking their lead from Hamilton’s Federalism.

It’s not conjecture or political hyperbole, it’s historical fact. What once were Republicans now are Democrats, and what once were Democrats now are Republicans.

It’s been the party of RINO for sometime now.

Mona Charen is a National Review Never-Trumper

On May 23, 2016, she called Mr. Trump an “authoritarian ignoramus”

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/435743/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-never-trump-people

It is sad watching her and the NR crowd pathetically struggling to be relevant during the Trump Era. Their pride will not let them admit they were wrong. They refuse to admit that the economy is doing pretty well, that Trump has put a conservative on the Supreme Court, that ISIS in Syria has mostly been destroyed and the Fatty in North Korea is, for the moment, backing down. Let’s see, how many of those things would have happened with Jeb! or Mittens in the WH?

Mona Charen’s article probably got more attention here on FreeRepublic than it did in National Review. I am seeing some interesting comments here ... and as I usually do with National Review, I didn’t even read a single word of the original article.

“It is sad watching her and the NR crowd pathetically struggling to be relevant during the Trump Era.”

Murphy’s Laws of Combat
2. If it’s stupid but it works, it isn’t stupid.

There’s a common thread uniting just about all of the #nevertrumper gerbalist and chattering class.
Can anyone guess what it is? (Hint: `They Live!’)

They claim to be Republicans, no, they claim to be conservatives, but they are carrying water for the left.
I just read one of her recent tweets where she is firmly applying her lips to the posterior of NR’s managing editor.
Loathsome creatures ... call me a Nazi one more time, Mona.

Long ago, I remember eagerly looking forward to getting National Review in the mail.

LONG ago.

National Review Online has become a puke-worthy site.

What benefit does the South gain by staying in the Union? To the rest of the USA we are all Nazi racists bigots Klansman down here apparently that is what happens if you object to a statue of one of our local heroes Robt E Lee. Whay stay in the Union? #SouthExit.

Mona, without Southern pride and conservatism the USA would be fully socialist by now on the way to Communism

Either Mona is a moron, or a liar. It was the Democrats that took God and Jerusalem off of their platform... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/05/dnc-god-jerusalem-platform_n_1859200.html

Mona Charen was once charged with being a conservative but she was found totally innocent.
