Great piece.
Honestly, I do not understand how media figures (Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, Steven Colbert, etc.) could read a devastating piece like this and not come to the conclusion that maybe — just maybe — they are grossly unreasonable, unfair, unbalanced, and deceitful.
The Media are seditionists. They are enemies of freedom and the American Republic. They are the enemy of the people.
They must be destroyed.
Yeah - it’s a line in the sand akin to all the red lines Obama talked about but did nothing as the terrorists crossed them time and again....
Good article. When he describes all of the unreal, hysterical fantasies of the left, ranging from their adulation of Obama and tolerance for his misdeeds to their attribution to Trump of all the evils in the world, it makes one wonder how a society dominated by such lunatics is ever going to survive.
NEVER use truth and facts when the situation calls for hysteria!
WOW. Thanks for posting. Perfect essay except the conclusion that Obama committed no impeachable offenses.
Great piece. I saw no reference to Fast and Furious or to Obama’s “czars," but otherwise, a pretty good summation.If the Republican Party were acting for us, they would be asking how much worse it is for the Russians to try to influence the 2016 American election illegally than it was for Obama, Lois Lerner, and SoS Hillary Clinton to successfully influence the 2012 American election. Obama was (give or take a questionable birth certificate or two) entitled to compete for for reelection. He was not entitled to control (via the IRS and by the “awful video” scam which included incarcerating a filmmaker) the outcome of that election.
The 800 lb. gorilla in the room being, of course, the cynicism of journalism (which, knowing itself to be negative - “if it bleeds, it leads” - presumes to style itself “objective”). Being cynical towards society, journalism promotes big government "to control society's evil.” And promotes any official in government or in labor unions who cooperates with journalists in criticizing society.
The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing.Dear Reader, are you skeptical? When exposed to the persuaders and their so-called “News,” are you skeptical enough?The man whom we believe is necessarily, in the things concerning which we believe him, our leader and director, and we look up to him with a certain degree of esteem and respect. But as from admiring other people we come to wish to be admired ourselves; so from being led and directed by other people we learn to wish to become ourselves leaders and directors . . .
The desire of being believed, the desire of persuading, of leading and directing other people, seems to be one of the strongest of all our natural desires. - Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)
