The same “CON-servative” that met with Obama before the RNC and asked the DNC for help with delegates?

You’re worried about the government collecting telephone records... don’t you know who Trump’s pal Peter Thiel is?

Trust me, Andy was all fine and dandy with the GOPe as long as the money train was flowing.

He’s trying to cover his ass now.

The neocons took over the National Review when Bill Buckley went all soft on us and fired Sam Francis, PJB et al over the whole “Searching for Anti-Semitism” schtick back in 1994. It’s a neocon (Trotskyite) rag. It hasn’t been our mag for well over 20 years now.

An obscure blog?

This man has done a lot of fine work for our country. He has suddenly jumped the shark. Why this need to support the democRATS who have brought about everything he has fought against? Andy, be humble and shut up.

Andy McCarthy has been one of the biggest shills there is for the unlimited surveillance and collection of personal data by the government against the American public.

He’s a complete hypocrite accusing Trump of being a statist.

Think about this. Remember the DC madam scandal? The public never did find out what was in her phone book. But you know who knew? The federal leviathan.

Yep, they had Senator Vitter’s phone calls. And who knows what else? Ted Cruz’s? Chief Justice Roberts, for example? What did they have on him?

If you believe the federal government can be trusted not to use this information for political purposes, then you probably believe Lois Lerner was an honest and scrupulous servant of the people.

I am so sick of these people.

None of your specific conservative concerns will ever be addressed if the ship of state sinks. We’re in a world of hurt people. Can we PLEASE address the damage and man the pumps before we start arguing about the bright work and the other finer points.

And don’t dare mention the bombshell Trump conveniently omitted in his stemwinder: his commitment to give legal status (pssst– that means amnesty) to millions of the illegal aliens he risibly promises to deport.

Bombshell, indeed.

So, in order to denounce Trump, this guy has to assign positions to Trump that Trump has never, in fact, stated? Well, gee whiz!

If we had a list of the big money donors to National Review I would bet my bottom dollar it is more or less nothing but a roll call of the Cheap Labor Express.

As I thought- a blog with no source. Does the fact that a broken clock is right twice a day mean that broken clocks are always or even mostly right? Are all obscure blogs equally valid?

There are obscure blogs that contradict one another. Which one do you believe? What makes you think this one was valid and not one set up by a partisan trying to split his opposition who just posts baloney? You’re human, so you believed it not because there were any supporting facts but just because it is what you want or expect to hear.

Used to be, back in the 90s on this site, people had to link to their sources every time they made a comment. It used to take balls to post on this site because it wasn’t an echo chamber and you’d be challenged on everything. There were people who waited years before they could build up the courage to post their thoughts. These days everyone just swallows whatever fits their preconceived notions and passes it around without the source as if it is fact, and more like-minded people swallow it without testing it, too, hook, line and sinker.

I don’t give a crap about Andy one way or the other, he’s not on my reading list... and in any case even Romanian gardeners are reading all our stuff and the Russian and Chinese governments no doubt tap phone systems globally even if there were a way to stop ours.

But Andy as a “schill” has got nothing on Peter Theil. Peter Theil is tight with Trump, a supporter.

If you have a problem with “schills for unlimited surveillance” then why don’t you care that one of the biggest “schills for unlimited surveillance” is on Trump’s team?

It’s not my issue, it’s yours. Ask yourself why that doesn’t bother you.
