Very well put and echoes what I have been thinking but unable to put into words. My sole objection is that, even with the included caveats, the author focuses so strongly upon CNN when it also applies to the rest of the MSM (Main Stream Media). It would be more powerful, albeit a longer article, to include examples by other media sources.
As Teddy Roosevelt put it, the Presidency is a ‘Bully Pulpit’ for expressing Presidential Policy. In years prior to the 1960s, there was a rough parity in the Media and Popular Culture where that message could come through no matter which Party was in power.
By the 1960s, the LEFT was assuming dominance in those areas as well as in others like Academia and Legal. By the 1980s, Ronald Reagan had to resort to forcing the MSM to carry his statements at publicity and Oval Office events in order to keep his words from being distorted and interpreted out of all meaning by the MSM.
Now, with the enormous expansion of information sources, and the very active antagonism of the LEFT that has overwhelming predominance of control over so many areas, the ‘Bully Pulpit’ has become a whisper in almost all the traditional venues. That is why President Trump, an experienced master of publicity, has taken to the new methods of Twitter that can be done, like Ronald Reagan, without message massaging.
Yes, this particular paragraph made me gag because of the globalist UNIPARTY swamp characters described in it, but it also helps drive the point that conservative voters, via the feckless and duplicitous republican party, have been playing political bean bag for decades against a radical left who live and act by a code of lies, theft and even violence if required to gain/maintain power and achieve their goals by any means necessary.
Trump threw a giant grenade into the left's plans and put them in a political rout. Now, like the Germans of 1944, they are in retreat, throwing up obstacles, engaged in any form of warfare to stop him and reverse the tide.
Yes, Trump fights. That's EXACTLY why we chose him over a crowded republican field of cordial status quo losers and elected him.
True that may may be, but that's not saying much. And your comment neither adresses my point nor the author's.
Mitt Romney would have been a better president than Obama as much as McCain would have been.
And I'm sure I don't have to tell you that if a President McCain or President Romney had been in the White House, Freepers would have been tearing their hair out in frustration at the RINO presidency.
None of which changes the fact that what I said about Romney is absolutely 100% true.
Excellent.
I’m printing this off and laying multiple copies around the beach rental house scheduled for July.
Most of the vacationing in-laws attending this annual event...are democrats/libs.
Should be fun.
I really like Evan Sayet. I wish he produced more stuff.
I first saw his Youtube speech early in the Fredo Dogeater administraion and it’s great. He says absolutely everything the left believes and espouses is bad, detrimental and ugly. Everything. It’s worth a watch.
Usually when someone READS it on television....
Should I be more clear???
Usually when someone sits in front of a TV camera on a TV show or news broadcast and reads the article out loud for the viewers...
How’s that???
Aw Jeez, I was just trying to be funny
If you believe in international corporate free trade and the are ok with the de - industrialization of the USA then you are not a patriot, you are a globalist.
The US Revolution was fought to reverse the destructive policy of British mercantilism which outlawed almost all industry from starting in the colonies. We are being colonized by the globalists again.
That’s a bingo.
I don’t know how to do it, but would someone who knows, please post a #HeFights twitter with a link to the article? I noticed that there is already a #HeFights topic from a long time ago. Let’s bring it up to date with this article!
This is a line for the ages! Well said, sir!
I've had the pleasure of meeting Evan Sayet quite briefly at a couple of conservative gatherings. Such a nice man, and his writings are so on point.
Don’t forget Al Gore cheated with that massage therapist and got dumped by his wife. Only place it was reported was the National Inquirer.
he fights hard!
Did you ever experience that? I sure never have.

>>The war is between the globalists vs. nationalists. Simple as that.
It is that simple, but globalism is a subset of Progressivism. This is why the GOP is infested with people who vote with the Progs because they don’t believe that the people deserve the right to be part of a country. They believe in World, Inc and that voting stock in the corporation should only go to the right people.
