MAKING ROOM FOR FREEDOM AGAIN IN AMERICA AND THE GLORIOUS PASSING OF CNN

DEM Dick Durbin, Saboteur….Not the First Time

S***HOLE OR NO S***HOLE?

by John Hinderaker   at PowerLine

Today on ABC’s This Week, Senator David Perdue, who was present, flatly denied that President Trump referred to any countries as “s***holes” during a meeting with a small group of legislators:

Republican Sen. David Perdue (Ga.) on Sunday said President Trump did not use the word “shithole” to refer to African nations, Haiti and El Salvador during a White House meeting with lawmakers.
***
“I’m telling you he did not use that word, George. And I’m telling you it’s a gross misrepresentation. How many times do you want me to say that?” Perdue said after host George Stephanopoulos pressed him for an answer.
***
“The gross misrepresentation was that language was used in there that was not used and also that the tone of that meeting was not contributory and not constructive,” the Georgia Republican said.

The Hill adds this, seeking to undercut Perdue’s denial:

The White House last week did not deny that Trump made the comment.

That, I think, is just wrong. President Trump tweeted:

Donald J. Trump

The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used. What was really tough was the outlandish proposal made – a big setback for DACA!

Donald J. Trump

Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country. Never said “take them out.” Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings – unfortunately, no trust.    

Paul made the most relevant point on Friday. Even if you assume Trump used the word that he and Senator Perdue deny, the villain in this story is Dick Durbin:

I don’t know whether President Trump called any countries “s***holes” yesterday. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if he disparaged certain countries, as is his wont, and he may well have done so profanely.

If he did, and if doing so hurt America, then Sen. Durbin and others in the room should have kept Trump’s statement to themselves. No patriotic American would hurt this country’s international standing just to embarrass the president or in the hope of gaining a little leverage in negotiations (which, I’m pretty sure, Durbin has failed to do).

But patriotism has never been Dick Durbin’s long suit.

This story is a good illustration of the bizarre times in which we live. Trump made a good point in a private meeting with a small number of legislators. He may have used profanity while doing so, but he wasn’t making a speech. His political enemy, Dick Durbin, then ran to the press to damage Trump by quoting–probably misquoting–his private comments. The press jumped on the story eagerly, assuming Durbin’s account was correct and happily damaging America’s interests, as Democrats and Democratic reporters smugly told us was happening. Lost in the shuffle was the fact that Trump is right about immigration–chain migration and the lottery are crazy and need to go, in favor of a merit-based system–and a large majority of Americans agree with him.

Years ago, some of the lawyers in my office had a series of cases around the country in which they were opposed by another Twin Cities law firm. The lawyers in that law firm were so dishonest, and so given to misrepresenting their conversations with my partners in various courts, that eventually my partners refused to have any telephone conversations with them unless a court reporter was on the line, and a transcript was prepared. President Trump is perhaps at the point where he should take similar measures to prevent Democrats (and perhaps some Republicans) from lying about his conversations with him.

America’s Feminizing of the Human Male Connected to Birth Control?

Great numbers of today’s American human male animal under age 40 are NOT the male of “its” previous generation.  This  “He” has been feminized in  tongue and body action filled with sensitivity,  feelings, and leftism.  “He” craves care, protection.

Great number’s of today’s American human female animal under age 55, especially those starring on television news or in college riots,  no longer seem able to speak in tones beyond a twelve year old spoiled brat demanding, shouting, conniving for  sweets.    Whatever happened to the elegant American English Olivia de Havilland Joan Crawford,  Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, my Mother and all of the other mothers on our block 75 years ago who  used to speak so beautifully adult female?

Birth Control and Homosexuality: Unintended Consequences

By Mike Konrad at American Thinker:

“In the 1980s, I had a boss who had gotten a masters degree in psychology from New York University. He was a brilliant man; could have been a doctor. He told me a story that explains much of what we see in society today.

It seems that while doing his graduate work in the early 1960s, he had to do research on lab rats, which were given the synthetic hormones used in the then new birth control pills. The results, he told me, showed that the grandchildren of these lab rats would have high rates of homosexual behaviors. From what he told me, the findings were suppressed. Apparently, the powers that be wanted “the pill” to pass muster. What happened to the second generation of rats that followed was of no consequence to them.

Then my boss told me: The first generation of kids born to mothers using the pill have already arrived. But we should expect in another generation a noticeable increase in homosexual behavior, as they would be the second generation. As that was then still in the future, I was shocked.

This was told me in the mid ’80s. By his reckoning, we should have seen a societal explosion of homosexuality starting around 2000, and subsequently. And, of course, we have seen such an explosion. His prediction came true.

Now, to many classic conservatives – whether religious or merely social – homosexuality is a choice, something which can be learned and/or unlearned.  The problem is: There is a degree of evidence that it may be contrariwise in some individuals…….”   Please continue reading below:

The Disappearance of Beauty in Mind and the English Tongue

Allan Bloom on American Nihilism and Its Degrading Vocabulary

by  Michael Platt at the Public Discourse   (Article sent by Mark Waldeland,  a secondary school  teacher of English for about 40 years.)

“What would have happened if literature professors had continued to love literature, admire Shakespeare, and teach others to do the same? Perhaps if they had emulated Allan Bloom’s attention to words—if they’d taught writing and written well themselves—our colleges would not now be so enraged.

[ . . . ]

“Never Shall I Utter These Words”

Toward the end of Part Two, Bloom asks whether, if we Americans were forbidden to use all these words, we would be speechless. Alternatively, if we were deprived of the word “lifestyle,” would we say “living exactly as I please”? If stripped of “my ideology,” would we say “my prejudices”? If unable to say “my values,” would we, now naked and a touch ashamed, try to give reasons for our views and our choices, begin to know ourselves, and live seriously?

A couple of years ago, I was very pleased when the whole class studying Part Two took the pledge I offered, and solemnly swore, with a smile: “I shall never utter these words, but ever seek better ones, so help me God.”

What words might we seek? While Bloom’s exposure of the new words often includes better words, Americans can find plenty elsewhere as well. There remains the mighty fortress of the King James Bible, for instance, and the boundless treasury of Shakespeare.

In Shakespeare, you won’t find such words as lifestyle, ideology, or even entertainment in its shallow modern sense. The word “creative” does not appear, only creature, creation, and creator, for creativity was only recognized in “great nature” and nature’s God. The later philosophic sludge of “concept,” “objective” and “subjective,” and “fact” vs. “value” are not there to stymie our search for truth. Instead of “values,” you will find the exposure of their danger when the amorous Troilus defends the abduction of Helen: “What’s aught but as ’tis valued?” and is refuted by Hector: “value dwells not in particular will; / It holds his estimate and dignity / As well wherein ’tis precious of itself . . . ’Tis mad idolatry / To make the service greater than the god.”

The seven most common adjectives in Shakespeare are “good,” “great,” “fair,” “sweet,” “true,” “poor,” and “noble.” The use of “good” (2985 times) exceeds all others. When teaching Shakespeare, I challenge students to spend a week using such words, and no words not in Shakespeare. They get extra credit if they get some winsome Shakespearean word, like “romage,” into the Daily Dartmouth. How many knaves would be recognized and some restrained if we used the word as often as Shakespeare did? (247 times, to be exact.) Perhaps we would not have to suffer so many fools if we used “fool” too…….”   Please read on:

IGNORANCE….THE LEFTIST GOD CELEBRATED BY AMERICA’S MILLENIALS

IGNORANCE, THE LEFTIST GOD CELEBRATED BY AMERICA’S MILLENIALS

The Cost of Historical Amnesia in America

By Richard Winchester  at American Thinker:

 

“When sizable portions of a people forget their history, they risk losing contact with their nation’s essence, what its best qualities are, and where it ought to be headed.  They may soon cease to inhabit an independent political entity.

There’s evidence that a loss of historical memory is a growing problem in America.  Furthermore, political developments suggest there will be even more problems involving the loss of knowledge about essential American history in the future.

One indication that we already face problems with loss of historical memory comes from a YouGov poll, commissioned by the recently established The Victims of Communism Foundation.  The foundation publishes an “Annual Report on U.S. Attitudes towards Socialism.”  The first such report appeared on Monday, October 16, 2016.

Jamie Gregora wrote about that report in the October 17 issue of The Daily Signal.  Most of that report deals the youngest birth cohort in the American electorate, i.e., the Millennials, or those aged 34 and younger.

Perhaps the most surprising example, but not the only one, of Millennials’ lack of historical memory is the finding that 32% of them believe that George W. Bush killed more people than Josef Stalin.  (If one believes “Bush = Hitler,” perhaps that’s not too surprising.)

Three more examples of Millennials’ historical ignorance will suffice.  According to the report, 42% of Millennials “were unfamiliar with” Mao Zedong, 40% claimed not to know who Che Guevara was, and 33% drew a blank when asked about Vladimir Lenin.

Ignorance has consequences.  Twenty-five percent of the Millennials, for example, viewed Lenin favorably.  Although 57% of Americans overall held unfavorable views of communism, only 37% of Millennials were similarly disposed.  Moreover, 55% of Millennials said communism was a problem in the world today, compared with 80% of Baby Boomers, and 91% of the oldest birth cohort.  Worse, perhaps, although 65% of Americans aged 65 and older held favorable views of capitalism, only 42% of Millennials had favorable views of capitalism.

Finally, and this may be most shocking, 45% of people aged 16-20 – who will soon enter the electorate – said they would vote for a socialist, and 21% would cast a ballot for a communist.  (Maybe now we know why so many young people swooned over Bernie Sanders this year.)

As Nicole Russell concluded from the report in The Federalist.com, “these numbers show a generation sadly misinformed about the historical and present reality of life under communism and socialism.”

Readers of American Thinker may believe that what that report reveals is the consequence of America’s public education system, in which left-wing teachers and textbook authors systematically denude students of critical information about their country’s and the world’s history.  No argument there, but a portion of the blame for young people’s lack of historical knowledge seeps down on their parents, and even the young themselves.  (Am I blaming the victim?  Perhaps, but if the shoe fits ….)

Fairness dictates that we acknowledge that young Americans’ lack of historical knowledge probably goes back some way.  In the early 1980s, for example, the polymath Ben Stein wrote an article in the now defunct journal Public Opinion that detailed a critical lack of knowledge among California “Valley Girls,” especially ignorance of Adolf Hitler, the Nazis, and anti-Semitism.  When informed of Hitler’s campaign against European Jewry, and especially the Holocaust, one young woman gasped, “Why would he do that?”

As astonishing as these examples, which could easily be multiplied, are, recent developments in the U.S., especially those surrounding the history of slavery, the Civil War, and the South between the end of Reconstruction (1877) and the mid-1960s probably portend worse historical amnesia yet to come.

By now, we ought to be familiar with the Left’s longstanding campaign to use slavery as a cudgel to browbeat ordinary people into silence while left-wing types seek to fundamentally transform the U.S.  One facet of left-wingers’ campaign has been to cover-up, and if possible, to erase, some aspects of the “South’s peculiar institution,” such as the fact that some slaves were owned by African Americans, or that some blacks served in Confederate armies between 1861 and 1865, while trumpeting other facets, such as the claim that slavery is America’s “original sin,” or that all whites bear the guilt associated with slavery, or that Abraham Lincoln was a racist.

Ever since the horrendous, racially motivated, massacre in Charleston, SC in 2015, the campaign to eliminate as much of the South’s symbols and (former) traditions as possible has shifted into high gear.  From simply removing the stars-and-bars flag – which was not the original, official, flag of the Confederacy – from a Confederate memorial in South Carolina’s state capital, to removing statues and busts of key Southern figures from prominent locations, to changing the names of public schools from important Confederate leaders such as Robert E. Lee, to less offensive – to some – monikers, the U.S. has experienced what some regard as an orgy of historical amnesia.

There are already state-sanctioned public school history textbooks in which major Confederate leaders – again, Robert E. Lee comes to mind – receive far briefer treatment than, say Sojourner Truth or Rosa Parks.  Will future public school children be innocent of any knowledge that the U.S. endured a four-year long Civil War, in which at least 650,000 people died?  Could it be that public school children in the future will not learn that America may be the only country to tear itself apart to rid itself of what virtually everyone these days regards as anathema?

One does not have to approve of either slavery or the Confederacy to appreciate that they are an ineradicable part of America’s past, and must be remembered.

Where will the quest for feeling good about American history end?   Will we soon try to forget that Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the executive order sending 110,000-120,000 people of Japanese descent to what were euphemistically called internment camps?  Will we soon forget that key Progressives, such as Theodore Roosevelt or Woodrow Wilson, were prejudiced against some minorities?  Will we fail to remember that Margaret Sanger – now regarded as virtually a saint in some quarters – advocated euthanizing people – perhaps entire races – regarded as inferior?

Oops!  Sorry!  We’re already into attempts to cleanse Americans’ memories of certain historical personalities, such as TR, Wilson, and especially Sanger.

Some people want to feel good about themselves and their country, and if that means selectively forgetting some facets of U.S. history, so be it.

But, that has consequences.

For one thing, what if future generations don’t share our values?  Twenty-first century Americans don’t think like earlier generations did, and future inhabitants of the U.S. may not think as we do now.  What if, in the effort to feel good about ourselves, we deny important information future Americans will need as they try coping with thorny questions?

It gets worse.  If history teaches anything, it is not just that those who won’t learn about the past will have to repeat it.  It is, as Ben Stein warned, that those who know nothing, or very little, of the past, won’t know what’s worth preserving.

When sizable portions of a people forget their history, they risk losing contact with their nation’s essence, what its best qualities are, and where it ought to be headed.  They may soon cease to inhabit an independent political entity.

There’s evidence that a loss of historical memory is a growing problem in America.  Furthermore, political developments suggest there will be even more problems involving the loss of knowledge about essential American history in the future.

One indication that we already face problems with loss of historical memory comes from a YouGov poll, commissioned by the recently established The Victims of Communism Foundation.  The foundation publishes an “Annual Report on U.S. Attitudes towards Socialism.”  The first such report appeared on Monday, October 16, 2016.

Mark Cuban and Gennifer Flowers to Secure Front Seats at Monday’s Trump-Hillary Verbal Battle?

MARK CUBAN AND GENNIFER FLOWERS TO SQUARE OFF AT MONDAY’S DEBATE? [WITH COMMENT BY PAUL]

You’ve no doubt heard the news: the Clinton campaign invited Mark Cuban, a vicious Trump-hater, to attend Monday evening’s debate and sit in the front row. I think Austin Bayinterprets Clinton’s motivation correctly:

by John Hinderaker  at PowerLine:

“ABC News called Cuban a dedicated Trump-troller and he’s been touting his front row ticket. Cuban hasn’t said he intends to disrupt Trump but the touts are meant to suggest he might. Team Hillary has calculated Cuban serves a propaganda purpose even if he behaves and remains silent. Giving Cuban a ticket and having him sit in a seat tv cameras can’t miss gives media commentators ready-made anti-Trump story lines. For example, at one time Cuban supported Trump, now he doesn’t. Talk that one up, Anderson Cooper. Cuban thinks Trump is a weak candidate, etc. Now repeat Cuban’s assessment of Trump 30 times, CBS News. Yup, Team Hillary’s Cuban Gambit — how clever.

Donald Trump responded by threatening to invite Gennifer Flowers, Bill Clinton’s long-time mistress and a famous target of Hillary’s misogyny, to the debate, and seat her next to Cuban:

Follow

Donald J. Trump

✔@realDonaldTrump

If dopey Mark Cuban of failed Benefactor fame wants to sit in the front row, perhaps I will put Gennifer Flowers right alongside of him!

It is now being reported that Flowers has accepted Trump’s invitation. This can only add even more buzz to what was already expected to be the most-watched presidential debate in history.

No doubt many observers are tut-tutting over the unseemliness of it all. There goes Trump again, reducing what should be a serious event to a circus. That is one way to look at it. But most pundits don’t have any experience in business. It seems to me that for anyone who understands how the business world works, what Trump is doing here, and has done many times before, is familiar.

My own business for many years was litigation. I was always willing to develop and present a case on its merits, but it wasn’t unusual for an opponent to break the rules or otherwise seek unfair advantage. When that happened, the response was automatic: find a way to–let me coin a phrase here–punch back twice as hard. After being whacked a time or two, most opponents would find it prudent to play fair. The same is true in many industries, probably most–certainly in real estate development and entertainment, where Trump has spent his career. Trump’s instinct to punch back, I think, is neither scandalous nor, as many supporters claim, “genius,” but rather the natural response of an experienced businessman.

There is this, too: Hillary Clinton is terrible on her feet. She needs everything to be scripted. When surprised, she often goes deer-in-the-headlights. The prospect of Gennifer Flowers showing up at the debate, however unlikely it may actually be, is just the kind of thing to throw her off. So much the better!

PAUL ADDS: I agree generally with what John says here. However, I wouldn’t assume that the only punching Trump did in real estate development was “punching back.” That might be the case, but I’ve heard very credible reports that suggest it isn’t. Nor would I say that Trump’s punching during the contest for the GOP presidential nomination was limited to punching back.

In addition, if the first punch wasn’t unethical or indecent but the punch back was, then the “punch back twice as hard” defense doesn’t work for me. However, inviting Gennifer Flowers to sit next to Mark Cuban is neither unethical nor indecent, in my view.”

Are the Brits Tired of Housing, Feeding, Pampering the Non and Anti-Brits?

Britain’s Elites Can’t Ignore the Masses

by Megan McArdle  a Bloomberg

“This past weekend, I found myself in the British borough of Luton, pondering a British exit from the European Union. “How did you find yourself in Luton?” you will ask, and I will reply, “That is a long story, and alas, a very dull one, so let’s just proceed upon the assumption that I was indeed in Luton for good and sufficient reasons.” And why was I pondering Brexit? Because the penultimate chapter of this dull story involved many hours spent in a horrible third-tier European airport with middle-class Britons heading home from their holidays.

The airport was short on seats and power outlets even before flight-delayed travelers were stacked eight-deep along the floors. Perhaps a dozen of us middle-aged folk had wrested a single power outlet from the teenagers who had tethered themselves to all the other sources of battery-life-giving energy in the vicinity. We huddled around this small electric flame in the manner of travelers everywhere, taking what sustenance we could, drinking wine and swapping stories of our homelands. I was asked to explain Donald Trump. And by way of getting my own back, I naturally asked about the referendum on Brexit, which is now just days away.

The folks I talked to were from all over Britain, but they had middle age in common as well as, mostly, membership in the petit bourgeoisie. What did they think about leaving the EU?………”   Please continue reading about the present crisis facing today’s “Britain” which died a generation ago due to open border invasions  by millions of non-Brits.

(In the 1990s I spent about a year of my life living during winter months in London and traveling hither and thither in this once beautiful nation made so by both Nature and man.

Islamifying had already  begun by the millions who had moved in from former colonies.   It was a civilized, hard working urban business class Islamic  folk,  NOT Brit.   The European Union, that is opening the little nation to an invading world,  had not been invented yet.

Are Party Republicans Afraid to Speak Truthfully?

“Why don’t Republicans name America’s enemy?” Dennis Prager asks in his Pragertopia topic below.

I do have an answer why those in the GOP world hide their thoughts and language, which, of course, makes them abettors of the Left in making our once much more democratic society just another tyranny in the world dictated by Obamalings.

Republicans go to college.   Many attend some kind of law school, but no matter, nearly all of America’s educational institution hirelings  are leftist single Party automatons, dictators somewhere between Bernie Sanders and Karl Marx.

Today’s American schools have become intolerant, fanatic ‘religious’ centers  for atheist, feminist, and black racist study and life, in person, in speech and text, as a new  refreshing ‘religion’ free at last of the white male, the propaganda which  now ranges throughout our culture.  Conservatives ALL are too wussy, gutless, nervous and cowardly to face Truth.

The leftists’  common and most hated  enemy is the world’s white male, the one who throughout the past five centuries, is primarily responsible for the entire world’s learnings, discoveries, inventions, advanced industries, advances in science,  moon shots, the classic arts, music, architecture, sculpture, civilized politics,  JudeoChristian tenets of Godfearing as a world of Good oriented behavior where personal freedoms have value…..

That the race, religion, and sex (white, JudeoChristian, men) happens to be  primarily responsible for  the disappearance of most of the worlds forced slavery and the appearance of most modern goods  for most of the world’s living levels seems to have no value in current leftist learnings…..

Those white men, most of them English-speaking men who settled and built democracies,  the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and more recently developed English-speaking India……all ‘victim’s of the once GREAT British Empire, who in our America are blasphemed in the name of feminized, black racist, atheistic socialist dictatorship.

Conservative men at college  are forced  to hide or abandon  their thoughts, beliefs, learnings, experiences, vocabulary, knowledge where ever they attend today’s fascistic, one-party leftist religion university and public school  made complete by the accepted laws of  political correctness  censorship in all areas and levels of communication.

Wuss, noted Republican Paul Ryan, is a typical victim of leftist political correctness and seems to enjoy employing its language in the name of ‘doing good’.

Please read the following Dennis Prager  Pragertopia column on the matter:

Why Don’t Republicans Name the Enemy?

Paul Ryan’s America Rising in Switzerland

Uproar in Switzerland after school excuses Muslim students from having to shake hands with women teachers

By  ALLAHPUNDIT  at HotAir:

(How will the American fascist feminists at university handle this Islamic shaking hands with women teachers problem?  Answer:  Silence….during the present B. Hussein Obama regime anyway.)

“In a different age, involving a different faith, this would be a curio about how different western values — religious tolerance and equality for women — can conflict. In this age, with this faith, amid a huge population transfer from the Middle East to Europe, it’s big news.

There has been little support for the school’s decision to grant special dispensation to the boys, who are 14 and 15 and have lived in Switzerland for several years.

Therwil Mayor Reto Wolf said the community was unhappy with the decision taken by the school, which is run by the local canton.

“In our culture and in our way of communication a handshake is normal and sends out respect for the other person, and this has to be brought [home] to the children in school,” he told the BBC.

Felix Mueri, the head of the Swiss parliament’s education commission and a member of the anti-immigration Swiss People’s Party, said the decision sent out the wrong message. “Today’s it’s the handshake and what will it be tomorrow?”

It’s a Swiss custom to have a handshake between teacher and pupil before and after class. The two Muslim students objected on grounds that it’s against Islam to touch a woman who’s not a relative. So the school copped out, allowing the students to skip the handshake with female teachers provided that they skipped it with their male teachers too. That’s a classic western dodge, reminiscent of news outlets thinking twice about publishing images offensive to Christians now in order to appear “evenhanded” after they’ve censored images of Mohammed for fear of jihadis. In both cases, not only have you not addressed the underlying problem, you’ve flattered illiberalism by restricting even more behavior to accommodate it. I much prefer overt double standards to disingenuous evenhanded solutions like these because the double standard doesn’t paper over the serious cultural debate that lies beneath. Every time a paper mocks Jesus while censoring mockery of Mohammed, every time a Muslim student is permitted not to shake a woman’s “unclean” hand while forced to shake a man’s, it reminds all involved that multiculturalism requires special dispensation for some cultures’ illiberal customs. If you’re going to have that system, do it with your eyes open. Make people confront the implications.

Three wrinkles to this story. One: Interestingly, the local teachers’ union in Switzerland is firmly on the side of forcing the students to shake hands with women teachers in the name of gender equality. Am I selling American teachers’ unions short in thinking that their view of this would be more … nuanced? You don’t see left-wing power bases in the U.S. pounding the table against multiculturalism very often, especially when Islam is involved. Two: Not unexpectedly, Muslim activist groups disagree on whether touching a woman really is against Islam. The Swiss Federation of Islamic Organisations says nope; the Islamic Central Council of Switzerland says it is, noting that after the infamous New Year’s sex attacks in Cologne, Muslims have been told to stay away from European women. How can we rightly expect students to shake their female teachers’ hands then, they ask? Which, as far as stupid political trolling goes, is the equal of anything I’ve seen this year on Twitter. But never mind that. If the school has backing from a Muslim group for the proposition that refusing to touch a woman is a fundamentalist, not mainstream, Islamic point of view, why accommodate the kids? They’ve got political cover to make them shake hands”……….There’s more below:

The Dishonesty of our Ranting God, Dennis Prager

On this Friday morning Dennis Prager  spent the  first hour of his radio show ranting.  He hates Donald Trump.  After the fifty minutes or so of its noise, Dennis finished his Hitlerian sermon with “God knows who’s right.”

In Dennis’ world, Dennis Prager is God, therefore Dennis Prager is always right on his radio show….and so his hating of our Donald is part of his life’s worship.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have  the machinery to  record God Dennis’ rant.   Dennis speaks very rapidly when he is angry.   When he’s angry with Hillarians, he spews Truth with clarity and evidence, for there is so much evidence to discuss.    When Dennis’ pudding seems to bear something new and foreign, Dennis tends  to speak very, very rapidly and spews untruths about the unknown,  especially when  fantasy  ranting about our Donald these days.

Is our Dennis a liar when he gets emotional and spews lies and verbal axes   so emotionally  at Republican for President, candidate, Donald Trump?     Or is just a product  of upset?

I happen to love our Donald…and out Dennis.    Donald  is the most refreshing presidential candidate breathing  “real-American air” to have come across our coast-to-coast once democratic United States since  my post puberty lifetime, early eighth  grade,  St. Paul, Minnesota in  1947.    Looking back since that time my favorite candidates who became  presidents are Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy,  and Ronald Reagan.    Most of the rest of the presidential candidates since  that time period   are  Marco Rubios and Ted Cruzes or better.

What, Dennis,  have the Marco Rubios and Ted Cruzes ever done in adult life but play politics and learn the language, games,  and  deceits of that world?

What,  Dennis, have you  done in earnings throughout  your  adult life except  to ‘propagandize’?    Office to flight to home, to office to radio to propagandize  to home, to flight to propagandize to home?….and speak , speak, speak and write to change minds?

What, Dennis, have you EVER built with your own  brain AND hands?  What, do you know about such human adult animals….nearly ALL males….who do  build with their brains AND hands?…YOU, RADIO Man….another social intolerant  Joseph  Goebbels of today’s antiTrump snobby, Republican Party elite establishment?

This morning, Radio Dennis winced at “the coarsening of America….It’s becoming a real issue”.   Dennis implies Donald Trump is inventing and advancing the nation’s coarsening movement, or at least advances its cause when in yesternight’s  GOP ‘debates’  our Donald responded to Marco Rubios attack upon Trump masculinity.

Our Dennis was so outraged at the Trump defense statement he opened his morning’s program with five minutes of  Dennis wailing over the  Trumpism.   I kept waiting for the  vulgar wording, but their wasn’t one.   Dennis preferred to introduce the unusual word for public  gab”genitalia” to his radio show not only once in complaint about Donald, but twice to emphasize  his version of how, why,   evangelical Christians should be outraged for voting for our Donald and vote for his…..well…..today’s Cruz.

Dennis cannot understand how on EARTH Christian Evangelicals have been voting for our Donald…May God Bless Them for doing so!  Our Dennis says he  knows so many of them…..especially the ones who line up supporting Israel….May God Bless Them for doing so!

“IT’S ALL EMOTION”….Dennis RANTED emotionally!  “THERE IS NO THOUGHT!!”   Dennis really shouts, without  Dennis thought.

Dennis, is as I am,  upset with GOP Establishment’s Marco Rubio….a fine young man who speaks well as a politician and comes from a family with a classic beautiful family story all Americans should be proud of.   Marco had  drifted from the righteous and was advised to  ‘dirt’ on Donald…..in public, no less…not once but twice.   Dennis, upset with GOP- preferred Marco, is now persuaded the Ted Cruz GOP way.

Dennis considers the liar Ted with the evangelical Ted.   He makes no mention of  Cruz’s radio, television, and stump clever  slimy language pretending, morphing   who he thinks  our Donald is to get himself the most votes.  I do find Cruz bright, determined, hard working, yet greasy, like Burt Lancaster as Elmer Gantry……and greasy not only referring to his sleaze thrown at Trump, but unreliable politically  in general….simply more clever about who he is than others, and a loner.

Dennis identifies with these politicians.   They make their money politicking, selling thoughts, ideas, the reasons mostly  why I have listened to Dennis’s radio sales since October, 2004.

How,  fellow citizens,   would you like your own personal life smeared the way this  GOP gang does to Donald  in its  efforts to bury him?   Dennis, have you ever  listened to your own recordings of your radio performances falsely smearing him?  Is Mr. Trump really a racist who hooks up with the KKK behind American lines?

Dennis either deceives us or he doesn’t really know,  yet  avers with God-Dennis certainty that our Donald cannot defeat the American Lady Macbeth Hillary in November:

“Trump is receiving ONLY 35% of the Republican presidential primary vote”.   And, the greatest horror for all America, “Cannot defeat Hillary”… Dennis asserts.   He suggests none of these  votes will drift to our Donald.

Has Dennis ever invited a true proTrump pro to chat about candidate Donald’s ‘goods’ and ‘bests’?   Has our Dennis ever invited Donald to his radio show for a chat?

Dennis!    Nowhere in the Federal Constitution does it state a candidate for the presidency of the United States HAS TO BE A TRAINED POLITICIAN!”…..nor that he or she has to be a member of a political party!

I see the same Donald J. Trump that you see, Dennis!    Nearly everyone sees the same body, hears the same Trump words.  Many have children who with their parents watched last  evening’s battle and didn’t hear anything vulgar at all….I am a generation older than you and am personally far better aware than you (my opinion)  about the collapse of JudeoChristian standards  of classical Biblical values.    Its cancers metasticized exponentially  in  the mid 1960s and were only somewhat  controlled during the Reagan years.    Were you about a Brooklyn 3 years old then?

What about your words. today’s words, Dennis, you, not cursing, but foully describing our Donald and the millions of us who see in him….EMOTIONALLY:

A great personality, far more immediately winsome  than yours and any Republican’s or Democrat’s  I have come across in the past 65 years of American life.

Not like you and your fellow GOP and Hillarian politicos who harp and carp for a living, he has built things, here, there and elsewhere.  THERE ARE CAUSES AND RESULTS FROM HIS BUILDING THINGS.  things you  and your world of  observers seem to be  too blind and/or nasty politically  to take note.   Have you ever put even a minute of imagination into what DONALD TRUMP HAS LEARNED, EXPERIENCED and ACTUALLY HAS RESULTS TO SHOW HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS beyond the world of political propaganda.

Have you indoor people,  your radio propaganda world ever personally resurrected a dead nearly semi-sized truck placing into  its  huge shell  all of its   mechanical contents  needed for its second life, correctly interconnected and placed to make eventually its motor purr….often with used parts, no less…..and  now usable for our company’s  five or more years of safe service and  delivery.

If I would have spent all of my life teaching high school social studies and Russian, I,  then an indoor person selling learnings and ideas,  couldn’t  imagine such a fete :   Three guys in their early thirties  did  that very truck resurrection for our landscape company this past winter season.  We couldn’t afford a new one.  They were certain they could resurrect ours which  had finally died after fifteen years of heavy duty.  They are Donald Trump guys.   They and the  rest of  the company as well with no urging from me at all.  They have never voted before….”What for?” …..until,  on their own, they discovered Donald Trump.

Your isolation from these folks is at the foundation of your bigotry toward them and hence, your bigotry toward a Donald Trump.

Please replay your first hour of the Dennis Prager Show of this morning.   Be me, a profoundly devoted Donald and Dennis Prager man.   Think of the damage YOUR BIGOTRY TOWARD DONALD, YOUR BIGOTRY TOWARD US TRUMP FANS already  have caused our Party and Our Nation!!!!!   How my, our Republican Party AND YOU have treated citizen Donald, a builder, not a propagandist by trade from the very moment of his entry in the race!

There is more to your evil to be written about this topic, Dennis, but I am wearing out now.   I am well enough educated and alert, Dennis, to know evil can be done without intent.   The problem is you indoor people evil in this Donald Trump case, especially those raised in Brooklyn type neighborhoods have become so detached from real reeling  America, you think and blab judgingly in your narrow and arrogant universe, because you live and work so indoors,  so separately from today’s  real American workers.
