The Political Suicide Hotline: Ringing Nonstop
Am Thinker ^ | March 3, 2019 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 03/03/2019 7:01:53 AM PST by upchuck

It is a mystery to me why so many politicians and pundits are suddenly committing career and party suicide. I suppose it’s because there has been a failure to recognize that they’ve been living in and promoting a fantasy world. In the meantime, the president has called their bluff, exposed the cant, and forced them into chaos and ruinous policies.

The failure of the Weekly Standard and the decline of the National Review have exposed the not-conservative Trump haters as unpragmatic, unrealistic snobs. They are now shaking the begging cup to keep from having to earn an honest living. In the face of the president’s rising popularity among voters and the economic and diplomatic successes of this administration, they continue to believe that on the right there are readers and donors who will keep them at it...

Fat chance. The man they detest is carrying out policies they so often claimed to support, and the voters -- most of whom they look down on -- approve...

The voters hold these views, despite the media’s nonstop lying. Voters are just not as stupid as the media thinks we are.

“Take this Jonah Goldberg, and Bill Kristol”

These are purists who are incapable of realizing we’re in a war, and unable to discern our friends from our enemies. In the war we’re in, better not have them around.

I am ashamed to have to say I voted for both of the Booshes
Well, in my defense, at least my screen name was chosen in reaction to W’s “compassionate conservatism” schtick.

I would like to believe that, and I do have personal acquaintances who fall exactly into that category. But in reality I think both Goldberg and Kristol are performers who are smart enough to know exactly who they are and what they are doing. They are not on our side.

Jonah Goldberg, and Bill Kristol are, and have always been progressive liberals. They found a niche were they could make money from conservatives. They have been exposed for what they are.

Let them beg on the streets.

Don Surber has the answer to Greenwald’s question: Counterintelligence Investigation is a cover-up to hide Obama's illegal spying on the Trump campaign using -- abusing -- our national security apparatus.... But an honest investigation would focus on Obama, Clapper, Brennan and Susan the Unmasker Rice.

Bingo!
