But, First…
The reason we have to elect Donald Trump is because we need to numb the American people to the distortion and lies of the media and politicians. The more of this hysteria we experience, the tougher our emotional skin will become.
Trump commented on Tuesday in a campaign rally that he could essentially find the cure for a terminal disease and the reaction from the media and his opponents would be negative. Essentially, there is no accountability for lies in our culture and very little incentive for the truth any longer. Sensationalism sells.
Even worse, the distortion of reality is so horrendous that people are afraid to talk, to express their feelings and share their concerns any longer (for fear of attack). By electing Trump, we ensure that these frauds are left alone on their island of lies. At some point, the American people will no longer be willing to listen to the punditry of outrage created by a sentence or two uttered by Trump in a minutes-long discussion. It just takes time for us to arrive at that point.
In essence, Trump will make it acceptable again to be candid, to push back on the wrongs of society, and to force change. This will happen because he sets the “PC-bar” so much higher than our current standard of political correctness will allow.
As an example, Khizr Khan, who spoke very negatively about Trump at the Democratic National Convention, has become a media sensation. During an interview on Tuesday with Eric Trump, Gayle King read a statement, “when you question a mother's pain by implying her religion, not her pain, you are attacking…” This is out of context and false. Trump did not question her pain or grief. He pointed to the fact that she didn't speak.
In an interview on CNN, Mrs. Khan stated that their beliefs were that the husband was in charge outside of the household and that she was in charge inside the household. This is incredibly important because we have now discovered that Mr. Khan operates an immigration law firm, has written extensively in his support of Sharia Law, has ties to Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, and has associations with the Muslim Brotherhood.
Captain Khan is a war hero who made the ultimate sacrifice - Mrs. Khan is clearly a grieving mother. Mr. Khan appears to be a con who used his dead son as a political shield in order to attack Trump. At first she had a medical condition, then she spoke. I think Trump nailed it.
Why did Kahn attack? If Donald Trump institutes a ban on Middle Eastern immigration it would essentially put Mr. Khan's law firm out of business. This isn't about his son; it's about money. But America is scantily interested in all of the details because we'd rather be outraged or optimistically delusional as opposed to enlightened.
I have frequently said that it is a bad idea to listen to the political ideas of grieving parents. The only exception would be in the case of Patricia Smith, who is telling a story of how she was treated by Hillary Clinton after her son was killed in Benghazi. She has direct experience with the character of the Democratic candidate for the presidency. Kahn does not.
The Kahn story has nothing to do with Trump except that Mr. Kahn's law firm would be financially harmed by Trump's proposed ban on certain countries’ immigration-ban. In other words, he could no longer sell citizenship to the highest bidder with a President Trump.
Americans are progressively using their tragedies as manipulations and cover for their financial, political and social aspirations. Monetizing a family tragedy is purely evil. At some point every tragedy will make most conversations off-limits.
In this case it was a Gold Star family. But, how about the parents who demand your guns be taken away because some crazy person killed their son or daughter at a school? Do we have to be silent while those parents conflate their pain and grief into taking away our rights?
How about the dad who wants to pressure local politicians to close the neighborhood bar because some drunk killed his child driving home at midnight? Are we supposed to ignore that as an ‘off-limits’ topic. After all, it was the drunk’s lack of personal responsibility that created the accident - not the bar!
How about actor Paul Walker's daughter who decided to sue Porsche because he died in a fiery crash as a result of driving at roughly double the posted speed limit in California? Are we supposed to sit back, because of her grief, and say nothing while her lawyers slander a business due to her father's irresponsible and reckless driving? His death is sad and tragic but regretfully, his fault.
Who was outraged about the fact that Black Lives Matters was chanting in the middle of a moment of silence for fallen police officers who were assassinated just prior to the DNC? Not the mainstream media!
The outrage and hysteria created by most of what Trump says is fascinating to me. It reveals an emotionally immature society who can't handle even an ounce of candor.
I find it disgusting that Mr. Khan would use his hero son, Capt. Khan, as a political shield for his financial grievances (dragging his wife through such additional trauma) in the same way ISIS uses elementary schools full of children, as cover, to fire at our soldiers.
If you let situations like this affect your vote for Trump, you will be allowing the enemy to take control of your future.
The Khan Man is a better Indian (there used to be no Poke-ee-stahhnn...) Lieawatha than Fauxcahontas...
$55 per square foot per year....
...”“Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on,”...
Seems like the rational thing to do if you want to have a country. Only a nation’s enemies or those outside who want to flood in and take it over would want it otherwise.
How is the Draft in any significant way superior to a Voluntary Military?
thanx for posting the lame cherry piece.
Soros, Clinton Machine, Muslim Brotherhood....
Khan started this by making a straw man attack on Trump. His motivation is clearly to protect his lucrative Muslim immigration service which would be impacted by Trump’s proposed vetting of Muslim immigrants.
People need Show-Us-The-Money on Khan. It is the only explanation for his criticism of Trump particularly since Hillary is the candidate who voted for the Iraq war. If he grieves for his son he would be critical of Hillary. If he grieves for his income he’ll be critical of Trump.
Conclusion: Khan is a crass and deceitful man. He is a man without honor who has disgraced his family. He needs to be called exactly this or he will never stop.
Since Khan believes in Sharia, I wonder if he has another family hidden in Saudi Arabia or somewhere? Some investigative reporter should look into this.
Not sure why you think I haven’t....
If its not rocket science, why does it keep happening?
The stakes are simply too high for unforced errors to swamp the boat.
Mr. Khan said, neither he, a lawyer with an advanced degree from Harvard Law School; his wife, Ghazala, who taught Persian at a Pakistani college before raising three boys in the Washington suburbs; their eldest son, Shaharyar, who was a top student at the University of Virginia and a co-founder of a biotechnology company; nor Captain Khan, who posthumously earned the Bronze Star, along with a Purple Heart, for saving the lives of his men, would have been allowed to settle here.
A third son, Omer, who works at his brother’s biotech company, was born in the United States.
Do you honestly believe Manafort & Co. didn’t know about Papa Khan before Trump started replying to his slander? Maybe just maybe it’s the OTHER way around and Trump spread a net for the Dems, waiting for their Muslim activist lawyer to be exposed.
Bookmarking your good post of info.
I keep thinking about Grover Norquist...Mr. BRING ALL the MUSLIMS in .....and his Pakistani Muslim wife. And his best pal, Cesar Conda, another powerful immigration lawyer who OWNS Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio.
This Khan mess has the blessings of our open border Rino’s.
They are NOT going to give up quietly...you’re talking about BILLIONS of dollars they lose if Trump wins.
Just a reminder that this E5 visa program for RICH foreigners has been ripe with fraud and it was brought into being by the ‘immigration reform’ brought about by GW BUSH...and who wrote that policy? GROVER NORQUSIT, CESAR CONDA (another immigration lawyer who OWNS PAUL RYAN).
Now....the E5 is ‘bi partisan’...many republicans push it...all the same ones who are tearing Trump apart today! This was a creation of JEff Flake and McCAin, among other traitors. FOLLOW THE $$$$!
BIOTECH COMPANY???? hmmmmm.
Trump is flopping around on this like a fish out of water.
...
No he isn’t. You’re probably letting yourself be manipulated by crooked media.
The author, Bryan Crabtree, gets it.
He sure does.
I believe the same thing - too many seem to think that Trump should just leave the guy alone - might as well bury their heads in the sand and tattoo their assesbutts, "Kick Me"
