Is Erick Erickson a tool of the left?

Very simple here for this morning. I have in my Internet Radio preset radio frequencies WMAC, 970 AM, Macon, Georgia. I have kept that preset for years and have used it as a source for conservative talk and commentary. We have very many Christian conservative friends in that region.

Of late, Erick Erickson has been the morning host (9 to 12 Eastern). And today I am writing him, not in my Free Republic screen name, but in my own name to ask him, "Mr. Erickson, are you, in actuality, a tool of the left, or worse?"

My impression of this morning's (21/01/12) program is that he is attempting to disparage and discourage true traditional Americans who really have not changed from our youth, having grown up conservative, self-reliant, having a work ethic, having a repugnance for the inordinate dependence upon government prevalent today, having our children within the bounds of marriage, believing in national sovereignty with strong national borders, flag-waving patriotic Americans.

My impression is that Mr. Erickson wants to see traditional Christian Americans remain in the shadows, timid, weak, remain within the four walls of our church houses, and keep the decibel level of our worship down, too.

My impression of Erickson from his monologue this morning is that any strong public cry from us against socialism and communism in the United States is to be equated with a very dangerous extremism and coupled with mere theories of a lying conspiratorialism.

My impression is that Mr. Erickson has been reading FBI reports and the scorn of conservatives in the leftist news media --- and it is leftist ---, and I even wonder whether he is under direct influence of authorities using him in an attempt to quell strong protesting on the right.

After only ten minutes of listening to Erickson, I felt as if he had tried to impugn, vilify, and soil me and my family. We spent more than two decades inside two communist countries working with underground Christian ministries. We have seen Marxism-Leninism up close and personal over a long period of time. And we also know that conspiracies are not merely theories; that communists have conspiracies against the United States, and American citizens by the thousands are directly involved in them.

"Conspiracy" is recognized in the American system of jurisprudence, and courts deal with conspiracies every day. The very idea of calling people who recognize the existence of conspiracies in the political realm "extremists," is absurd. And Mr. Erickson, claiming to be a Christian, should recognize the correlation with conspiracy in the spiritual realm.

We are not at all ashamed to be anti-communist to the core. After serving in the occupation of Japan, my own dad served in combat on the Korean Peninsula. Only 23 years later, I myself walked guard on an an airbase in Korea for thirteen months. Why? Because of a real conspiracy hatched no later than 1917, the Communist Universalle --- the struggle for world communism.

I am writing to Mr. Erickson today to ask him whether he is a tool of the left, and if this might not be the case with many talk show hosts who, like himself, are claiming to be conservatives.

He always has been.

Even when allegedly supporting Trump he can’t help himself from slipping a shiv in... how this guy ever became prominent is a complete mystery - who is the audience for that crap?

[diplomatic_immunity]

He’s always been a condescending ass. Only more so since his best buddy Gov. Kemp and Brad Raffensberger got themselves into hot water with blatant election fraud.

I’d bet my next paycheck he’s on the Dominion payroll. In fact I’d bet my entire 2021 salary.

With corporate radio putting the hammer down on any conservative voice it’s hard to tell who are the good guys and who are the bad guys. This self-professed Christian conservative has drifted further to the left with each passing week since COVID began..ramping up exponentially as the election became closer.

He’s lost much of his audience and doesn’t seem to care. Most of his show is spent excoriating anyone who doubts that this was not an honest and fair election.

I really dislike this guy. To answer your initial question: yes. He is a tool, he is drifting to the left and he is clearly a mouthpiece for China Corporate radio.

Yes, he is a leftist.
