Let me start out by saying that I pretty much stopped
listening to anything Karl Rove has to say back in 2012 when he, and his little
‘white board’ all but guaranteed that Romney would defeat Barry ‘O’. So earlier this morning when I read that he had
showed up on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” and argued that President
Trump should stop all of his anti-media rhetoric, such as calling the press the
“enemy of the people”, I just shook my head.
Rove said, “Look I think this is over the top. Every
president has a problem with the media. I was in the White House for seven
years and I didn’t like the coverage they gave George W. Bush particularly the
liberal “New York Times” but I think the president is better if he makes his
case on a case-by-case basis. That is to say when they say something that is
wrong and then he respectfully disagrees with them.” Respect, Mr. Rove, is a two way street!
Anyway, Rove went on to say, “I think calling names
is not helpful to our country from any side. Calling them the enemy of the
people that just grates on me. I grew up during the time of the Cold War. That
is a phrase that was used by Stalin against the enemies of the communist
regime. I think the president would be well advised to tone down the rhetoric.” Again with yet another reference to Stalin? A man responsible for the death of 7 million
people by starvation.
Look, since the day that Trump announced he was
candidate, Rove has been nothing but a very vocal NeverTrumper, and it’s a safe
bet that he will continue to be throughout the next six and half years. The ‘White Board King’ is an enemy of the
people right along with those in our ‘state-controlled’ media. He’s a Bush insider and a traitor to our
country. To deny the truth about the lies and propaganda coming from these
sources is to be in cahoots with them.
If the Republicans really do want to win this fall’s
election then they should focus a little less on trying to help the Democrats
undermine the president and provide the money to build ‘The Wall.’ If the Republicans are really on our side they
need to expedite the confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh and the many other
nominations still awaiting confirmation. What frustrates me the most is that we can
plainly see what the Deep State is up to, and they no longer care that we know!
Rove is no different than any of the many other RINOs
who have played along with the left in an effort to undermine Trump! Folks like Dana Perino, Martha MacCallum, Shannon
Bream, Chris Stirewalt, Brit Hume, Bret Baier and many others on FOX News who
rarely tell the truth even when they know what that truth is! They all
undermine Trump ever so discreetly because they are all status quo shills who
want nothing to actually change. That might expose them for who they really
are.
Mr. Rove seems to be rather naïve when it comes to
how the left leaning press of today is little more than the disinformation and
propaganda arm of the Democrat Party. The
best way to deal with this type of behavior is to meet it head-on. A second point is he either doesn't realize,
or simply chooses to ignore, the fact that President Trump bypasses the press
with social media and rallies in order to get across his positions on issues
without going through the media filter.
Denigrating the left leaning press helps voters to
understand that the press should be questioned and challenged whenever it
becomes obvious that they are less interested in reporting on the news and more
interested in trying to effect public opinion. This helps the press be a bit more
responsible in its reporting. This is
good for democracy. I don't believe that freedom of the press was ever intended
to supplant the free speech of voters or make the press unaccountable.
Karl is most definitely a creature of ‘The Swamp.’ He
was wrong about the primary, he was wrong about the election, he was wrong
about the first two years of the Trump administration, and he continues to be wrong
about those who comprise the Trump base. Like the rest of the NeverTrump GOP
Establishment, he is condescending about identifying white, suburban, higher
income voters as “those who don't like his actions and will peel off to support
a Democrat.”
If it wasn't for the NeverTrumpers like Rove and his
ilk stabbing the president in the back at every opportunity, this election
wouldn’t a simply a “red wave” it would be a red tsunami. But they would apparently
rather lose control of the House, and perhaps even the Senate, because they
think that will be their ticket back into power in Washington. That's why the
media loves him and you see him everywhere.
He is a fraud and a liar and is someone who cannot be trusted.
