An interesting article. VDH must be feeling real alone over at National-RINO Review these days.
I’ve liked VDH in the past, I forget if I stopped liking him over the NRO trying to undermine Trump.
When getting it wrong three time already wasn't enough.
He gets it. He is one the few people who understands what is actually going on.
I do believe VDH has nailed it.
Read the whole thing.
One of the better columns I’ve seen from VDH for a while. However, I don’t understand what he meant when he said:
“A Trump orgasm is to have someone in a suit and makeup, or with a title before his name, pontificate that Trump should be and is through — a Trump pleasure surpassed only by a shouting young anti-Trump disrupter shown on the news with a placard, “Make America Mexico Again.”
Either I’m stupid or that’s a least a bit weird.
Well it looks like VDH drew the short straw to walk back the NR position. He actually did a nice job. Interesting timing, as the Indiana results are rolling in. Kristol did the same thing, with less eloquence, earlier today.
The best line, referring to onr Trump supporter: “I don’t care whether Trump wins or not, I just want him to f— things up as long as he can.”
I do care if he wins, and hope he f—— things up as long as he is in office. And I like thew way he wears his ties - long!
One the best articles analyzing the Trump phenomenon to date.
You hit the nail squarely on it’s head this time Victor, now about the rest of the dweebs at your publication..
Trump is for a brief season our long-haired Samson, and the two pillars of the temple he is yanking down are the Republicans to his right and the Democrats to his left — and it will all land on top of us, the Philistines beneath. “And he bent with all his might so that the house fell on the lords and all the people who were in it. So the dead whom he killed at his death were more than those whom he killed in his life.” Judges 16.30.

Has Victor been reading my posts?
As for Donald Trump, I view him as a type of Samson, whom YHWH raised up to bring down the Temple of Dagon on the Philistines. Read Judges 13-16 and then look at the characteristics Donald Trump shares with Samson: Doesn’t drink, ever; has really wild hair; is really harsh if you treat him badly or unfairly; ran around with a lot of foreign women.
Now look at Donald Trump’s slogan: “Make America Great Again”. Alexis de Tocqueville said: “America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.” Donald Trump knows that in a country overrun with Philistines one can not campaign on “Make America Good Again”. However, if you look at what he says he will do, how offended he is by people lying about him, how offended he is with dirty tricks, how he hates the corruption in American government, etc. you know that he is trying to do is make America good again. So Donald Trump is bringing people out of the shadows, so to speak, and giving them hope that things can be better. This puts them out in the world where the Holy Spirit can bring believers into contact with those who are to be saved. So that is the spiritual aspect of the Trump campaign.
On the Bible Prophecy side, how is YHWH going to convince the Iranians that 2017 would be about the last time they, with their allies, can wipe out the United States and attack Israel to wipe it off the map?
How about we elect Donald Trump and he starts to make the American Military so strong that no one will want to mess with us? How about if he starts to root out the Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of the Government? In fact, the threat of having Donald Trump in the Whitehouse may well trigger the attack that is described in Ezekiel 38:10-13, which YHWH does not stop, so that the attack in Ezekiel 38:14-23, which YHWH will stop can take place. Then the End will come.
When the world gets to these critical points, there isn’t anything one can do to change the course set by YHWH for the world. It is much easier if you focus on that narrow way YHWH has for you to do as your part in His magnificent Word.
I read the entire article and just don’t get the people here who praise this banal piece. VDH is the same sort of confused, numb-nutted, jerkified, over-educated, intellectualoid anti-Trmp idjit as every other writer at NRO. And damn near every other media outlet of the left and right to boot! Can’t any of you people who praise this piece read the snark, sarcasm, and total disdain this prig has for you, the average, everyday, working stiff chump that hates everything about the elitist snobs who have had this country by the short hairs for generations and who have screwed and your children out of any sort of positive future? It doesn’t seem so!
Sorry, Vic. You’re gonna see how quickly Trump becomes a solution.
Sad that such a smart man, along with Tom Sowell, got so blinded by GOPe-ness.
Taking a peek at the NRO comments, there sure are a lot of deleted comments.
Makes me think that NRO can’t take the heat.
It’s new all right. Consider that Jeb Bush spent $130M and didn’t garner a single delegate. Stunning.
For years postmodernists have lectured us that there is no truth, no absolutes, no timeless protocols worthy of reverence; Trump is their Nemesis, who reifies their theories that truth is simply a narrative whose veracity is established by the degree of power and persuasion behind it.
Nemesis is the enemy of hubris, and hubris is getting its ass kicked.
