Media calls of ‘racist,’ ‘Nazi’ fall flat in Texas Trump country
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram ^ | October 29, 2018 | Richard Greene

Where better than Texas for President Trump to give the national media and liberal politicians more fodder to declare their disdain for him?

While the overflow Houston crowd last Monday were chanting “USA-USA-USA” when he again proudly announced himself as a “nationalist,” the cable news talking heads and Democrats sounded familiar refrains of “racist” and “Nazi” in hopes of convincing voters to fear him.

With his popularity exceeding that of his predecessor at this point in his presidency, it’s not working.

The fundamental problem with those in the grips of Trump Derangement Syndrome is, they do not understand him. Nor do they fathom his appeal to cheering audiences such as we witnessed when he came to boost the re-election of U.S. Senator Ted Cruz.

Putting those hateful labels on the president certainly extends to those across the country showing up in record numbers to attend his rallies. By that extension, something in the neighborhood of half the country must be racists and Nazis.

CNN reporter Jim Acosta, among journalists meeting with the president at the White House the day after the Houston event, issued this declaration: “There is a concern that you are sending coded language, or a dog whistle to some Americans out there, that what you really mean is you’re a white nationalist.”

Presidents characterized as nationalists is not new. There is a long history of our nation’s commanders-in-chief putting the interests of our country ahead of that of any other. Reviewing American nationalism, Wikipedia reminds us it was nationalists led by George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison who produced the Constitution establishing a strong and totally independent nation....

The fact that 4,024,777 Texans voted for Beto should be a wake up call to everyone who cares about our country!

I guess I should have said 'people' rather than 'voters'. Still, people should take note as this was probably the kick off for Beto's Obama-like presidential run.

A “racist” and “Nazi” has simply become anyone who opposes Democrats and a Left wing so uniformly extreme that nothing remains of the old far Left that is extreme to them anymore.

Everything looks far right wing to the current Left because much of even the old Left wing, which was already bad enough, is to their right.

The DNC is precisely the people that anticommunists of old were fighting to prevent.

Democrats call Isralies Nazis because we decline to die.

It’s a call that falls flat after being used in such a stupid manner so often.

Every single right leaning person in America should be completely immune to that “racist” slander.

It’s what the left uses when it has no other names to call us. They cried wolf 100 million times too many.
