“Trojan Horse” and “Manchurian Candidate” aren’t name calling, they are descriptives of a person’s character.

“Obummer”, “Shrillery”, “Hitlery” and “Commie” instead of “Comey” are not intelligent descriptives, they are childish name calling and do not further our cause. They make us seem immature and unintelligent.

May be but it beats shooting them.

Yes, the situation is horrendous. The U.S. (and the rest of the free world) has been infiltrated by an alliance of enemies, foreign and domestic. As much as you might find offensive the casual and not profound and not clever suggestion that “Comey” could not be called “Commie,” one has to be aware that not infrequently humor and epithets go a long way in getting people’s attention and in creating an
Imprint on the memory, when the terms actually do ring true. Politicians and commentators and, yes, comedians, do it all the time.

Comey has with a single decision and a single statement accomplished the breakdown of the rule of law in the U.S., a gargantuan act This is what communism does and wants to do again. Therefore the suggestion of the name “Commie,” since they sound similar. The offhand thought was not posted just to be cute.
Regarding your opinion that the terms “Trojan Horse” and “Manchurian
Candidate” are “descriptive of a person’s character,” I disagree. I meant them not metaphorically, but quite literally.

These people’s character is beside the point. It’s what they actually do that’s dangerous. Why they do it or who hired them is not the thrust of these epithets. “Trojan Horse” refers to the legend told by universally known literary figure, the epic poet Homer, who described how city of Troy was able to be invaded through the subterfuge of the gift to a populace of a giant wooden horse, all decked out to look pretty (like Obama) and brought willingly and welcomingly into the city by the city’s leaders and people. Only when the horse was firmly in place and the gates of the city closed behind it did the army of deadly soldiers emerge. Again an analogy to the current administration and its soldiers. The second epithet, “Manchurian Candidate” (from Wikipedia): The Manchurian Candidate (1959), by Richard Condon, is a political thriller novel about the son of a prominent U.S. political family who is brainwashed into being an unwitting assassin for a Communist conspiracy.

Here’s a link to an article that reminds us that Communism sees to it that the rule of law be destroyed. Comey moved us in this direction last week. http://www.worldacademy.org/forum/rule-law-%E2%80%93-fundamental-choice-world-today-and-tomorrow
