Is Ben Shapiro a Neo-Con?

From his article today....

Trump Got No Serious Concessions From Kim.

Trump Legitimized Kim. Trump legitimized Kim. There are no two ways about it. Here’s the triumphal video

Trump Delegitimized America’s Actions In The Korean Region

Like with Medved, it isn’t his facts that are faulty, it’s the immature judgment.

If President Trump can get NK to retire it’s nuke and missle program, who cares how they get there... My Lord, how these pundits spin this stuff!!!

I absolutely agree with his statement, which is essentially what the President said himself. He constantly interjects that he can and will walk away from it. It was an incredibly bold move and needed to be done. Only someone that thinks outside the box would be willing to do this. It is like being in the Oil business (which I have been for 45 years) and drilling a rank wildcat. Chances are, it could be a dryhole (and probably will be)based on past history. But if it hits, it would pay for many wells. I suspect that Trump understands the risk involved and felt like it was his moment in history to take it. Every President since Carter sought to repeat the same BS that has never worked, which is the definition of insanity.. Bill Richardson, Clinton’s negotiator, justified their deal by saying “they only ended up with 40 nukes. If not for us, they would have had 100.” Anybody that assumes it is a done deal is a fool. The President more or less signed a “Memorandum of Understanding”, which is not legally binding, but stipulates what each party’s intentions are. It is always the first step in many before a deal is consumated. So for the Freepers here that have some kind of personal bias against Shapiro, your colors are showing.

Neocon Ben is vying to take over the neocon business from Krystol after he retires.

My opinion of Shapiro? He really, really really wants to be taken seriously as an important conservative voice. I’m not a fan.

[robroys woman]

I’ve not seen his take on that, but I don’t watch his show. I watch his speeches.

I’m mixed on the Tommy thing. On the surface, I support him. But when you actually see what he was doing and how he was confronting people, well, I think he went way over the top. And since they don’t have the first amendment in the UK, I don’t know if he crossed their particular line or not.

[robroys woman]

Interesting you mentioned Medved. That one touches a nerve with me because, as many here are not fans of Shapiro, they reflect how I feel about Medved. And since I listened to Medved regularly during the election and had never heard of Shapiro at that time, I can bring up the exact same arguments against him that others here have regarding Shapiro.

i.e. I may need to revise my thinking regarding Shapiro.

But holy cow is Shapiro good at absolutely eviscerating the left at every opportunity.

I agree. I’d like to expand on it but will be brief and just say that we can all be so blinded by our bias to not only hate a politician, no matter what good they do, but also love and give full allegiance to a politician, even when they are in the wrong.

And sometimes the latter comes out in Freerepublic.

I really like Trump and even consider him more conservative than Reagan, but it was a long journey. I think Ben made the same journey but, like me, he knows that Trump does have flaws and they need to at least be taken into account. That is really all I saw in this. I think Ben was being supportive, but cautious.

And yeah, most of the big projects I work in IT that involve business partners start out with an MOU.

Ben is like a gnat.

Tomorrow he will scathingly blast our President.

He does it just to get attention. Most times, he succeeds.

“If it’s not about the justifiable hate Ben get”

That hate is “justifiable”? How so??

Didn’t I already explain it? Read my posts again. I don’t want to play games with a Shapiro defender at this point. Read the posts and respond to them.
