American Values Used To Include Caring About Others
Just a bit more than half a century ago, the right wing here in the United States was represented by our popular Republican president Dwight D. Eisenhower, who left us with this: Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
The meme here is an indication of how far the GOP has squirted to the right. Today’s Democrats are roughly where the Republicans were in 1960. Today’s Republicans are now so far to the right that it’s hard to find words in the English language that fully capture their position.
Craig,
Yet, you castigate the first American President in 40 years for withdrawing US troops from wars in the Middle East and elsewhere, while supporting a political party that would expand the US military involvement in Syria and elsewhere!
Curiously, you castigate the same President for forcing rich US allies to pay for their own defense.
Ah, Hypocrite, thy name is Democrat!
Meanwhile, the President’s polling is the highest it’s been since the 2016 election. His popularity has grown solidly among women, black and Hispanic voters.
Each of the current Democrat front runners would lose against the President if an election were held today.
Meanwhile, 2020 will see the collapse of the tactics of the American Left.
The US trade war with China not only didn’t turn into an American disaster as predicted by the anti-Trump forces, but is already yielding major concessions from a chastened Dragon.
Japan and the new U.S.-Korea trade pact are just some of many new more favorable trade deals by this President.
Trump’s border policies are beginning to work. The Mexican Government has not only signed a more favorable trade deal with the US, but agreed to deploy 28,000 troops to aid in turning back illegal migrants.
Manufacturing, investment and economic activity is increasing producing prosperity and employment in previously depressed and forgotten regions.
Russia (and Putin personally) has suffered a major set back to the Nord 2 pipeline project solely due to the stubborn opposition of the US President.
The cost of the US civil Service has been reduced, not by the President’s target of 33 1/3 percent, but by 26% with further reductions scheduled.
More than 50 new Judges have been appointed.
In three years America has changed.
In 2020 the Democrat candidate will be facing the increasing investigation and exposure of the shenanigans by the DNC and other anti-Trump supporters.
The failure of the Mueller inquiry will have consequences as the Inspector-General, DoJ special investigators etc, go after corrupt FBI, Intelligent agents, officials and other miscreants.
The corruption of Joe Biden and son, is just the tip of the ice-berg. The FISA court corruption has just begun investigations into long series of improper acts and contact that will end who knows where!,
(Biden may be the hill on which the Democrats fight and die politically).
The left is now reaping the whirlwind. A vindicated Exxon is seeking revenge. The GOP has shown itself to be stronger and more united than at any time in living memory.
The President will be boosted by a resurgent UK and Brexit.
But the biggest difference in 2020 is the almost total loss of credibility by the mainstream media.
@020 is shaping up to be an incredibly exciting and momentous year.
