| Trump leading the lamb to the slaughter |
Anyone who did not turn off the first presidential debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden should be prosecuted for masochism. It was a bit like watching two 80 year-old codgers bickering about property lines over a backyard fence.
The first thing to notice about so called presidential “debates”
is that they are not debates at all but, most often, poorly conducted press
conferences run amok. People whose memories are not impaired will have noticed
that public manners have eroded considerably since the Nixon-Kennedy debates, and
the Lincoln Douglas debates are little more than a mystic memory.
Trump never was a very good debater, but in the past
he was able to put in some rational order his contempt charges. On this occasion,
he was brutal rather than orderly. Biden responded in kind. Hunter Biden’s
father doesn’t fear contempt. He fears laughter.
In his confrontation with Trump, Biden did not live up to the
cartoon character portrayal of him as a doddering old fool, but much of what he
said was bumper sticker, clip-bait nonsense.
Trump is not responsible for job losses associated with Coronavirus.
The astounding job losses, we in Connecticut are well aware, is a gubernatorial
production, as are the equally astounding deaths in nursing homes.
Trump doused the long simmering Obama-Biden recession by
cutting taxes and reducing regulations. This strategy worked, as it had earlier
with Presidents Ronald Reagan and Jack Kennedy; so much so that Trump was able
to boast, prior to the arrival of Coronavirus from Wuhan, China, that the reinvigorated
economy had nearly eliminated unemployment, even among often neglected groups
such as Hispanics and African Americans.
Trump did pay millions of dollars in taxes.
Obamacare was a disaster from the start. It provided
inferior care and pegged prices just low enough to drive insurance companies
from the field and beggar doctors in preparation for the kind of universal
health care trumpeted by socialist Bernie Sanders of Maine and social
reconstructionist Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts during their presidential
primaries.
The Obama-Biden secret delivery of approximately $400 million in
cash and gold to Iran – which numerous times had pledged to push Israel into
the sea -- was likely used by Iranian mullahs to finance anti-Sunni
terrorists throughout the Middle East. The midnight
delivery of cash unauthorized by Congress is a perfect emblem of the
Obama-Biden “lead from behind” foreign policy fiasco that culminated in the
murder of an American Ambassador in Benghazi, the annexation of Crimea by
Putin’s Russia, an ISIS insurgence in north Africa and Syria, and the usual politically
misleading statements peddled aplenty to the American public and within the
United Nations, which appears on occasion to have been taken over by a Communist cabal.
Biden’s son Hunter, like the apple that did not fall far
from the tree, is an opportunist who would not hesitate, at the drop of a hat, to
sell the honor of his country to Chinese and Russian mobsters for a mess of political
pottage.
And – not to forget – the Hillary Clinton campaign for the
presidency was not stolen by a Trump-Putin collaborative effort, but the
Clinton-Obama-FBI collusionists have been trying, so far unsuccessfully, to wrest
the presidency from Trump for four long years. Nancy Pelosi has promised that
yet another impeachment proceeding is waiting in the wings should Trump be successful
in his reelection prospects, after which she may plan to move, along with much of Hollywood, to Canada.
None of this was clarified during the Trump-Biden contempt
contest. All of it is still smoldering in the background, waiting to burst into
flames.
In the meantime, Democrats such as Connecticut’s sainted Senator
From Planned Parenthood, Dick
Blumenthal, who denied Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett the
courtesy of a private meeting before her anticipated auto de fa, are busy strewing faggots at her feet and will not be
satisfied with anything less than a public humiliation, followed by a public burning.
The nation’s shameless mainstream media will help light the Democrat’s Senate
Judiciary Hearing pyre. Barrett, don’t you know, is a member of a Christian “cult”,
a Catholic charismatic movement warmly embraced by papists such as Pope Francis
and all the bishops in Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro’s
Catholic Church.
The message to Catholics could not be plainer: It’s OK for Pentecostals
to acknowledge the workings of the Holy Spirit in human history, but not Catholics.
It’s OK for Catholics to honor saints
such as Francis and Aquinas, but to aspire to be like either is cultism.
In the coming Barret auto
da fa, the country, including the Associated Press, The New York Times, the
Washington Post and other progressive media outposts, will be treated
to a real sustained attack on Catholicism as such and, derivatively, an attack
on the First Amendment, which creates a wall of separation between the governing
authority and religious enterprises -- for the purpose of allowing religion to
flourish, to sweep into the public square a Christian perspective that will inform
political ethics, give liberty sufficient elbow room, and reinvigorate the parched spiritual
souls of men and women who seek refreshment in a Christian faith now buried in
political mausoleums such as the U.S. House of Representatives and the Connecticut
General Assembly.
