America’s Biggest Losers: The Right’s Commentariat
American Thinker ^ | June 5, 2016 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 06/05/2016 8:35:58 AM PDT by ScaniaBoy

It’s looking to be a long hot summer, full of violence against Trump supporters, exposure of Clinton wrongdoing, and continued loathsome behavior by the president, academics, and the media. To its shame, at this crucial juncture many of the once-respected members of the right’s commentariat are failing their readers and proving to be America’s biggest losers.

Space constraints prevent me from detailing all the wrongdoing of Hillary Clinton and her aides and allies, but here are just some turned up this week.

Breitbart reports that it is now clear that Hillary shared the names of covert U.S. intelligence figures on her unprotected server, which had been targeted by “Russia-linked hacker attempts,” jeopardizing their lives and operations. (Compare and contrast her behavior with that of Lewis Libby and the difference in the politicized responses of this administration with Bush’s. Or even with this administration’s response to clear lawbreaking as opposed to scurrilous, baseless claims in the prior administration.)

When Bush commuted the sentence of Libby, who had not leaked the name of a covert agent -- and actually he should have pardoned him altogether but failed to -- Hillary was quick on the draw:

"This commutation sends the clear signal that in this administration, cronyism and ideology trump competence and justice." Clip and save this should she be indicted and pardoned on far worse conduct -- actually being the source of the leak of real covert agents.

As usual an excellent piece by Clarice. It contains some great links for instance comparing the press when it is attacked by a democrat or a republican.

The main problem with the “right’s commentariat” is that they are owned by the Cheap Labor Express.

They have been unable to convince Americans to give up their country without a fight and they are ticked off about it.

I think another real concern here-—”one who doth not speak thy name”-—is that the vast majority of the “commentariat” are either Jews or Catholics. (This is true of the USSC: even with Scalia there were five Catholics and three Jews).

In short, there is no Protestant perspective on anything, which meant certainly no one could even hope to understand Ted Cruz’s religion, or Sarah Palin’s. They dismiss Trump because Presbyterianism appears to be Protestantism Lite, but don’t examine his religious views any more than that.

People like Jonah Goldberg and virtually the whole staff of NRO have no clue what the majority religion in America really believes or what its attitudes are.

Maybe it’s because the commentators are clickbait artists.

The Bush Administration and GOPee backstabbing of loyalist Scooter Libby was my epiphany.

It suddenly became clear, all of it, the Uniparty, NWO, UN, NATO, EU, the Drive By Enemedia.

Nothing surprises me anymore.

Possibly. I don’t know the policy about publishing non-excerpeted pieces from AT at FR, but in this case I was just too lazy. Honi soit qui mal y pense. ;-)

That is an interesting angle I had not considered.

I also do not understand the Catholic Church anymore. I left the church 30 years ago, but having been raised a Catholic from generations of Catholics I thought I had a good understanding of Catholicism.
Today’s church is starting to look more like the church of Father Pfleger and less like the church of Bishop Sheen.

I agree. That whole affair was just unbelievable (and terrifying).

Not your fault. I never get why certain blogs insist on being excerpted when it means less exposure instead of more.

PS: That was the first time I read anything by Clarice Feldman. She wrote great commenteries on the case in the blog OfTwoMinds (the name may be wrong - but her comments were very good).

MS. Feldman made a very good case about the criminal conspiracy that is the Clinton gang and the Democrat party although she noted that the list is way too long to give a complete accounting.

And that is the problem. The depth, length and scope of the corruption is so vast and has gone on for so long that it’s hard to give credence to the full exposureof the bribes, illegal donatiions, using political office for the benefit of cronies, etc, etc. etc.

One has to say, “Surely this can’t have gone on this long and without the Clinton gang conspiracies being brought to justice.”

“... unable to convince Americans to give up their country without a fight and they are ticked off about it ...?

WOW! What a TRUE statement that is. And .. this statement shows you why Paul Ryan continues to have a BAD ATTITUDE toward all of the Conservative wing of the party, who are more than willing to take on the liberals/Communists.

It’s would be unbelievable if it wasn’t happening before our eyes.

Clinton’s Bag Man is now Gov. of my state, sitting in the chair once occupied by Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson. Makes me want to puke.
