Trump Equated With Italian Tyrant
Interesting how these very same leftists feign contempt and outrage whenever conservative pundits invoke similar imagery from the time of the Second World War.
It is claimed that that period's loss of life was so overwhelming that it ought to only be referred to in connection to itself and must not be cheapened by using such horrors as a basis for other historical or political comparisons.
Even more worthy of reference is the accompanying caption insisting that Donald Trump's slogan is “Make America White Again”.
The candidate said nothing of the sort.
All Trump threatened to do is to enforce existing immigration laws and to implement a number of possible security measures to keep out those not coming here in compliance with established procedures and those intent upon harming the nation.
If the editors of New Politics construe the phrase “Make America Great Again” as “Make America White Again”, aren't these intellectuals the ones insinuating that, without a White majority, America won't likely be able to retain its preeminence in the world or standard of living.
Even if Trump did run on a platform of making America White again (which he is not), how is such an aspiration any worse than the desire of Ray Nagin to keep New Orleans as a “Chocolate City” as he enunciated during his tenure as that metropolis' corrupt executive?
How is making America White again as a rallying point of a campaign anymore outrageous than activists that lament “gentrification”, a fancy way of saying its better off for inner cities to remain in a state of decay than for them to become inhabited by an infestation of White interlopers desiring to reside there for whatever reasons.

Obama Invokes Military To Conceal His Own Incompetence
By this, the President meant that Donald Trump was directly attacking the men and women that comprise the armed forces of the United States.
As formidable and impressive as they are, in a constitutional republic they only do as ordered by the elected civilian leadership.
In his remarks, what President Obama did was deflect the necessary critical analysis of his own lackluster leadership.
For it was not the frontline infantryman that authorized the premature withdrawal from Iraq.
It was not the humble field medic tending the wounds of a fellow soldier mutilated by an improvised explosive device that authorized resources to provide “gender reassignment procedures”.
Nor was it an MP standing guard that decided that the attack on Fort Hood was merely an incident of workplace violence that did not quite rise to the level of terrorism.
In the very same paragraph, the President continued, “He cozies up to Putin, praises Saddam Hussein, and tells the NATO allies...that they have to pay up if they want our protection. Well, America's promises do not come with a price tag.”
It seems that nothing ever does with this financial profligate.
It is said that freedom isn't free.
Often that is thought of in terms of the sacrifices made by those protecting the nation and its people.
The statement can also be taken literally.
The fielding of armies does not come cheap.
Ultimately those equipping and supplying these vast military forces are not doing so solely out of a sense of selfless altruistic patriotism.
Any shocked by such a remark need only be shown the invoice for a single fighter jet.
Why shouldn't our so-called “allies” be expected to shoulder part of this expense?
After all, does not President Obama favor increasingly punitive taxation imposed upon the productive whom he eagerly reminded that they were not really the ones responsible for the enterprises, accomplishments, and achievements that they mistakenly assumed were their own?
If Donald Trump is on the record of speaking favorably of Vladimir Putin, how were his remarks anymore out of line than those articulated by prominent Democrats over the years?
For did not President Obama poopoo Mitt Romney last campaign cycle for viewing Russia as a strategic challenge rather than as a close alley?
Was not the comment that the 1980's called and the decade wanted its foreign policy returned? And during her own tenure as Secretary of State, was not Hillary Clinton the one that insisted she was the one that pushed the reset button for a closer relationship with Russia?
