“Cronkite didn’t care about the truth. He wasn’t evil, he was indifferent.”
No. Cronkite was evil. That level of indifference to the truth is evil in itself.
But there is more. Chronkite was a committed leftist who wanted the United States to lose in Vietnam, and did everything he could to make that happen.
I'd call that evil - ignoring the truth to push his own interests ... selfish and evil ...
"The guerrilla jihadist must move amongst the people moderate Muslims as a fish swims in the sea."
> demand the indictment of all of them for their treasonous and outrageously unlawful behavior along with their removal from office ... until they are all gone and in chains
Exactly.
This stuff has been known to serious Freepers for years and years. Needs to be emphasized at every opportunity.
fyi
bttt
Great article and thank you for posting it!!!
Indifference is the coldest evil of all.
In the end, Trump cares about the country, and the folks who live here. He sees that our souls are weary of being played for fools by both the establishment clubs called parties. Are we a Democrat or Republican has as much relevance as whether we are a member of an Elk or Moose lodge. To say that there is no difference between indifference and evil, though begs the point. Because what ever happens in the next year, the result may have evil consequences for a century and beyond. Trump is no saint, but he is a representative of America, American exceptionalism, and the possible. We have awaken, and the new reality show is no apprentice effort. It is simply the day to day mechanations of the five networks, and the political class.
“....terrified that you, the average American, is going to figure out what underlies all of these institutions in America”
Might that include the belief that currencies are actually worth something or nothing
Go, Trump, GO!!
Damn good rant. Hard to disagree.
It’s not a good article. If a writer can’t get to the point in the first three paragraphs all he/she is doing is padding it in order to get the requisite lines of column.
I agree with much of the article but disagree on one point: The idea that trump has what he wants.
A starving person thinks everyone is thinking always about where our next meal is coming from. But we’re not. A poor person thinks everyone is always worrying about where their next dollar will come from, but we’re not. A middle class person thinks the rich are always thinking about how they can make more money. They are not. The rich are past money. They are looking for ways to acquire more power.
Yep. Even Trump. He doesn’t have everything he wants. He doesn’t have the presidency and the power that goes with it. The author in his article has somehow missed that facet of human nature
bfl
To many of us, this has been bloody obvious for a long time!
And IT IS EVIL!!!!!!!!
Everything they’ve done to us without any regard for us is EVIL!
This piece is spot on, and I hope AND BELIEVE the general public IS getting it.
My great hope is retribution is coming for them!
Watch that video again of those voters supporting Trump.....no mealy mouth responses there.
They’re mad as xxxx and will vote accordingly.
Coming along and kicking over the cart has had most unwelcome attention drawn to the shabby view the Establishment has of whatever values went to make up the American Ideal. The territory once known as “the United States of America” has become just another piece of real estate to be bartered away in exchange for the next move in the Monopoly Game played on the world state.
Throwing out “undesirable” local strongman rulers, in an exercise of a sort of faux-democracy revolution, to be replaced with an even more autocratic authoritarian regime, that backs up its “legitimacy” with some kind of veneer of an equally faux-religious rationalization. is held to be good politics by some.
George Orwell, in the novel “1984”, simply used what were then obvious markers of how the world was being transformed subsequent to the Second World War, when the entire planet would be engaged in a sort of three-handed game, with the participants shifting from ally to opponent, and the resulting displacements and instantaneous revisions to “history” that rationalized the sometimes abrupt shifts.
Big Brother is watching you. Time for the next Two-Minute Hate.
Pretty much how I see it.
