To lock up Hillary would be bad; to lock up Trump would be great.
June 23, 2019 By Taylor Lewis
Elections are no longer just an advanced auction of stolen goods, as Mencken so gnomically put it. They're now advanced cases of court remand.
The Trump campaign's winning strapline may have been "build the wall," but it was the stadium-friendly chant of "lock her up," in reference to Hillary Clinton's skirting of the law, that really kindled supporters' excitement.
............The late Charles Krauthammer decried the threat of bringing Clinton under the remit of the law for her illegal email practices. "Such incendiary talk is an affront to elementary democratic decency and a breach of the boundaries of American political discourse." You know an august commentator like Krauthammer is truly offended when he uses the genteel noun "affront."
While keening over the death of institutional civility in the Washington Post, two university professors described the chants as "disturbing" yet "inevitable," because "[Republican] attacks on the legitimacy of Democratic candidates and presidents are hardly new." Fancy that, seeing as how liberals haven't met a legitimate Republican president since Warren Harding, and even he had some peccadilloes of his own................

My Take - Initially. I was impressed with Krauthammer. But that was kind of like having the flu. It didn't take me long to get over it!

A Reply to George Will's Anti-Trump Hysteria
By Dan Phillips, on December 27th, 2015
Yawn. Another day, another hysterical article from a self-appointed Establishment "conservative" gatekeeper bemoaning the candidacy of Donald Trump and the imminent demise of the GOP and conservatism as we know it if Trump is not stopped. These have become so predictable that I didn't even bother to read the thing before I started commenting on.........To Read More...
My Take - The Will/Krauthammer Cabal is losing ground rapidly with conservatives. Both really smart men, both highly educated, both have strong opinions, both have published thoughts worth paying attention to. Unfortunately both have the same problem. They have no moral foundation to which they're thoroughly committed. Will is an academic conservative and Krauthammer is a former leftist academic conservative, as in “neo-con”. Both are conservatives of convenience, not conservatives of conscience, or moral conservatives if you will. Both will abandon a strong moral stand if it isn't part of the conventional wisdom.
They profess to be against big government but support so-called conservatives who support big government, big taxes, big expenditures and more regulations. None of the people they support has any plan to end any of that. In point of fact, an argument can be made their positions diametrically oppose every effort to turn things around, and that includes immigration.
Do they really think any culture can survive unlimited, unwanted immigration? Among Muslims it's called immigration Jihad. Fill a culture with Muslims and then take over and impose Sharia. That means destroying the Constitution. Do they think they can survive such an onslaught?
As for Hispanic immigration – no one is opposing legal immigration. Everyone should be opposing illegal immigration, especially since so many of them wish to conquer the nation, not be a part of it! I've lost any confidence in anything either of these two say. and I've little confidence in most of the talking heads at Fox, including O'Reilly, as I think he's a phony. At some point someone over there is going to have to answer this question: What's the difference between illegal immigration and invasion?

Conservative Icon Mark Levin Destroys Fox News for their Attacks on Trump and Cruz!
Posted on by
Onan Coca — 1 Comment
Conservative radio icon Mark Levin has been on a tear of late. Like many of us, he has watched establishment forces work to undermine both the outsiders in the GOP presidential campaign as well as the conservatives, and you can tell that “the Great One” has grown tired of it all.
In a recent show Levin spent a little time excoriating Charles Krauthammer, Brit Hume and Fox News for their efforts at destroying the character and the campaigns of Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and billionaire businessman Donald Trump......To Read More.....
My Take - First of all - I've not been impressed with Charles Krauthammer for some time and I've found Brit Hume to be less impressive as time has gone by, right along with George Will. I've called them the Will-Krauthammer Cabal.
The article goes on to say that Krauthammer worked for Walter Mondale and then Jimmy Carter - both times against Reagan - and now he's a "conservative"! He's also an atheist, along with George Will - which means neither has any absolute moral foundation they haven't created to suit themselves. Since I write and report so much about science issues I've developed a circle of friends who are atheists with whom I have absolute trust in their moral foundation. But they've chosen a morality that's based on the exact moral principles of the Judaic/Christian ethic. Who knows what foundation the Will-Krauthammer Cabal is based on.
Krauthammer is also a former leftist, and it's been my experience no matter how far right these former lefties may wander in their efforts to find "truth" they can never purge themselves of the contanimation of leftist thinking. The recent debacle created by David Horowitz's and Ronald Radosh's smear campaign against Diana West's book, "American Betrayal", is a clear demonstration of such thinking. West prevailed against the attack as more and more people who actually knew the facts, including the great Soviet Dissident Vladimir Bukovsky who extols Diana West’s American Betrayal and excoriated the Radosh/Horowitz cabal.
Leftists can never entirely make the journey to the right because leftism has no moral foundation, therefore they can gravitate to whatever's convenient or popular, and more importantly to them is to not seem too far right to their former leftist friends and the current crop of lefties. They got no guts!
Now the question that really needs to be answered is this. Why is it Fox has no absolute conservatives on their shows? Whether it's science, politics or social issues they always seem to be trying to find the middle of the road. Perhaps there are real conservatives on these shows and they're being told to keep it mild so as not to offend people. Well, that's not news!

Defund ObamaCare... Why not!
By Dr. Phil Taverna on
Sep 21, 2013
The Big names
like Rove and Krauthammer say don't touch it. But it sounds all wrong for all
the right reasons to fund ObamaCare when you know it is a failure.
First off what were the objectives of ObamaCare? To magically fabricate
healthcare for 8 million folks and lower the cost of healthcare so everyone can
buy it. It doesn't really kick in until October first but so far big business
does not like it. Unions don't like it. Retirees don't like it. Federal workers
and politicians don't like it. So if there is anyone out there who is now on
Medicaid who would not be on it unless ObamaCare was passed would be the only
folks happy if it was true and they can stay on welfare for the rest of their
lives. If not they won't like it either.
Everyone and
their brother knows that ObamaCare is a failure. So instead of trying to blame
the Republicans, why don't the liberal Democrats sit down with the
Republicans and come up with a better plan? So let’s blame the Liberals for not being
real!.....To Read More....
