This is what IRKS me about the megaphone that the LEFT and their willing lackeys of the MSM are DOING NOW! They are doing the 3 ‘D’s of Deny, Deprecate and Destroy just because they have a ‘R’ as President. This young woman helps show that the miasma of evil attributed to any non-LEFTIST, especially if they are rich or in a position of power, may be way out of line!
Good for her to write this but note that it is highly probable that it will never see any reprint or inclusion in the MSM Journals of record. NYTimes and WashPost will treat this as the equivalent of ‘holy water’ being sprayed at a vampire.
Maybe not; there were other options. Not all the facts are in.
But does he have the personal integrity to set aside his personal views and do the job the president assigns him?
Sign the front of enough payroll checks, and you get pretty good at that.
“How does that pertain to his role as SOS? “
Don’t see so much his role as SoS being affected but he is the 4th in the line of presidential succession.
My guess is we would find stories like this on most of Trump’s appointees.
This is something people need to realize about Trump. He always surrounds himself with the best and brightest, but not those who always agree with him.
That’s why I don’t worry too much about the stories of this man being involved in getting gays into the boy scouts. Yes, that bothers me, but Trump is not going to appoint anyone who is not entirely on board with his policies and principles - stop the corruption, end insane spending, cut taxes, secure the border - but I don’t think he will tolerate any “yes men”.
Look at Newt Gingrich and Rudy Giuliani. Both have spoken out in public against Trump’s comments and policies at times, and are both still in the closest circle of Trump supporters. Kellyanne Conway spoke out against Mitt Romney and asked Trump if she could do so, he said go ahead. Would Obama do that? Hillary? Anyone named Bush? I doubt it.
Trump wants people who have opposing viewpoints, he wants them to speak up, and he listens...then makes up his own mind.
This is why I may not agree with some of his appointments, I have to trust his instincts, which are uncanny, and I think we’re looking at a period in history almost on par with the period George Washington lived through. We’ll see a transformation of government that I’ve wanted to see for 30 years, heads will roll, changes will be made for the better, and we, the people, will have someone in the White House who speaks for us and actually listens to us for the first time in at least 50 years.
As SoS, I think Tillerson is probably a very good choice. He knows how to handle himself in a diplomatic situation with foreign leaders, knows many of them already so he’s already in good standing and won’t have to establish communications, it’s already there. IF they have seen this side of him, and I bet they have, they already know he’s a straight shooter.
Will he set aside business interests and work for the country instead? I think he will. Trump probably requires it.
She must have voted with her female parts....NOT her brain or her recollections of that jury duty.
Were the Boy Scouts about to be sued out of existence if they didn’t allow the gays?
That would have produced exactly what???
This is a great example of fake news that the Slimes and the Compost will properly not report on.
Perhaps she was speaking of her Primary vote? I met many folks in my work at the local GOP HQ; who had supported another in the Primary but worked hard for the entire ticket afterward.
The lawsuit against the BSA was already rejected by SCOTUS. So to answer your question, no, the boy scouts were not about to be sued out of existence.
From WIKI:
Boy Scouts of America et al. v. Dale, 530 U.S. 640 (2000), was a case of the Supreme Court of the United States decided on June 28, 2000, that held that the constitutional right to freedom of association allows a private organization like the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) to exclude a person from membership when “the presence of that person affects in a significant way the group’s ability to advocate public or private viewpoints.”[1] In a five to four decision, the Supreme Court ruled that opposition to homosexuality is part of BSA’s “expressive message” and that allowing homosexuals as adult leaders would interfere with that message.[2] It reversed a decision of the New Jersey Supreme Court that had determined that New Jersey’s public accommodations law required the BSA to readmit assistant Scoutmaster James Dale, who had made his homosexuality public and whom the BSA had expelled from the organizatio
Tillerson was instrumental in pushing the Boy Scouts to accept sodomites as members. Because of that, he has shown himself to be in full support of the homosexual agenda and is in my opinion, UNQUALIFIED for any leadership position.””
Yes, he was and is a big supporter of the queers and coprophiles, not to mention the same sex pedophiles. Clearly being a supporter of sex offenders puts Tillerson in the disgusting category.
Figure it out.
Anyone supporting death of the defenseless and the samesex-offenders is unfit to hold office. The queers and the Muslims are the two major forces that have been attacking Christians for decades. Are you aware?
In other words, you have a mouth to make statements, but no brain to make arguments.
Maybe she was a Bernie voter who then didn't vote for president. Too bad her conservative education is still incomplete; but at least she is halfway there.
Ping for index
Wow..Rex will be one of our greatest Secretary of State. Great article.
I'll settle for 'good.'
I'll be happy with 'decent.'
