Yes. He called everything spot on. And they went after him the same way they did Trump. Except Trump had billions and he didn’t. The party apparatus at that time called the shots. They tried some very nasty stuff on us back then didn’t they? As a liaison you know what they did. A lot of people with good intentions but very controllled by a few rich and powerful elite, and I’m just talking on the local and state level. I don’t forget getting backstabbed by the Keyes people (and others) at the Convention. We were just learning about the deep state back then. Now we see it even clearer. The party elite choose the candidate. Not us. Or so they thought. Until Trump came along and could out fundraise the bastards and even when outspent, and attacked, still win.
Back to my time in the YR, I was "given" the job of being the Buchanan liaison because nobody wanted it. The club was almost entirely lawyers with one or two Wall Street types, all in their late-20s to mid-30s, all proudly "fiscally conservative, socially liberal." Pat was filth to these people. I was a lowly salesman.
The club president asked me if I would do it and I was honored that he approached me. Besides, I admired Buchanan and I was both fiscally and socially conservative. Seemed like a good fit.
The experience was enlightening but I wasn't planning on a future in politics. I joined because I thought I'd be socializing with like-minded people. I was mistaken. I knew plenty of Democrats who held the very same positions as these folks so I did not remain a member beyond the election.
TRUMP! Oh, Yes!
By the grace of God he saw, he came, he kicked in the doors, one at a time, from the start.
All that fresh air he rode in on put a windstorm at the backs of traditional loving Americans!
Will there ever be another?
Our Founders might today be easily supressed, oppressed and even banished to the DC Gulag, if the evil could make it so. God forbid.
President Trump has said they’re coming after You.
It’s going to be a fight to stand and to speak. It is for him. This speech fight is one coming apparently to everyone.
I mean, come on. 🥴 Here we are in a place called “festival”, even on a famously conservative and formerly-Activist site!
Not that bad, the suppression. Not so far.
Can we freely converse, under FR RULES, in Festival? Or under the “other approach” to rules, with kitchen knives and the sink?
Anyone?
