Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Wayne Allen Root, Conrad Black, Ann Coulter, Newt Gingrich, spin this chunk of dog vomit:
This is your candidate, Republicans.After a GOP convention filled with liberal, Socialist ideas, such as cradle-to-grave big government care, the end to the “culture wars,” which means a push back against religious freedoms, now the new face of the Republican party is taking another step left.Donald Trump said Tuesday night that the federal minimum wage must be raised, and promised to implement a $10 per hour wage if elected president.
"I would say $10," Trump told Fox News host Bill O'Reilly when asked about the specific figure he would recommend. "But with the understanding that somebody like me is going to bring back jobs. I don't want people to be in the $10 dollar category very long. I believe it should be raised."
Trump is laying down this proposal in response to Democrats, who have said he wanted to lower the minimum wage.
Not to be outdone by his liberal pals, Trump is pretty much blowing up everything conservatives and small government proponents have stood on.
The billionaire businessman said he would use the federal wage as a base and encourage states to implement their own minimum wage that is higher than the $10 figure. But he also said some states need higher wages while others do not.
"If you take New York, it's very expensive to live in New York," Trump said.
It's not his first foray into hating heartless Republicans over the minimum wage. We knew about this long before his nomination was official.
Republicans, you had one job ...As I've said before, several bloggers and columnists I've long admired - Ace, Bookworm, Kurt Schlichter - accuse us #NeverTrumpers of moral preening, basically saying, "Look, pal, Russell Kirk and Fredrich Hayek aren't on the ticket. The choice in November is going to be binary, and Hillary Clinton is a rabidly power-hungry criminal." They say there is absolutely nothing productive about continuing to point out the ways in which Squirrel-Hair is unfit to be president.
What the hell am I supposed to do with the kind of thing he spouted on O'Reilly's program?
Sweep it under the rug? I can't in good conscience, as a conservative whose principles are sacred to me, do that.
No, the conservative movement may be mortally wounded, but conservative principles are as true and right as they ever were.
And we will not shut up about them. No matter which completely unfit charlatan takes the helm in post-America this coming winter.
Criminals have a criminal record don't they? Ahh, but I am solidly with u on Never Trump but might stir over a Pence Trump ticket which Mark Levine.said he'd really stand erect for
ReplyDeleteSee any number of recent Andrew McCarthy pieces for precise violations of federal code that the misdeeds Comey spent 15 minutes enumerating constitute.
ReplyDeleteAndrew McCarthy? Does he have power to prosecute? If so, is he judge or jury?
ReplyDeleteHayak is not on the ticket but bares blame for the free market trade that caused the Trumpstera to rally around a goon that promises to make America Great for jobs again. Offshorimg over the past 40 years sure kicked a lot of below the belt and ruined many a small town in the Heartland.
ReplyDeleteRetread your Conrad Black. American prosecutors are the most rabid and vicious in the world.
ReplyDeleteWhat would you have done to prevent the offshoring?
ReplyDeleteThe generalization about prosecutors is an infantile attempt to avoid looking at the particulars of a situation on which prosecutors have weighed in.
Andrew McCarty is a great American, having successfully brought the Blind Sheik to justice. He is also one of the most incisive legal minds writing today.
Conrad Black is a weirdo with an unfocused worldview.
It will be interesting to se if you directly and substantively answer my question.
Here's another question - and, once again, it will be interesting to see if you can answer it directly and substantively: Why do you think there's been a trend toward increased offshoring by US companies over the last few decades?
ReplyDeleteDon't talk down to me, man, I always answer your questions though I suspect you do it as a test and likely often are successful at shutting your antogonists up that way. I couldn't prevent offshoring any more than you could, ever heard about that prayer that asks God, yes, maybe not your God, but God for the serenity to accept the things you cannot change? I helped change the pot laws by civilly disobeying a ridiculous and quite false and untruthful law making it a Schedule I drug, in brash opposition to the sitting president responsible's own commission. But it was quite damaging to the American work force we knew before it and to the towns that contained them, turning towns in Mexico and China around though. Coool friggin beans! It was broke though right and "they" had to fix it, right? Some fix we've increasingly been in since. Look around at your own wondertown (self-proclaimed as "unexpected/unforgettable), if you don't see it, google the recent NYT article about her written because of her native son's Veep candidacy. Why do I think there has been a trend toward increased offshoring? Cost cutting, to benefit the stockholders, that all. It might be what you deem true, right and a God-given good, but a lot of folks look at it as the evil that wrecked their towns. Why do you think there's been that trend. Jack Welch is famous for saying he wished he could put all his plants on wheels so he could move them around to wherever the labor was cheapest. He also demanded that his suppliers offshore too or he would wreck them economically. Your beloved Ronnie who started going downhill mentally the moment he got shot, which was what, in the first month of his presidency, he gladly enouraged it. And save the essayic instruction for your students. Substantively. I'll determine that. Tell me more about Andrew McCarthy, more substantively than that he is a great American. I read Conrad Black's book and heard him tell of his wretched experience being prosecuted. Did you? Or do you merely write him off now because he supports your detested Squirrel Hair? I believed him. I don't believe Trump nor even Lyin' Ted. I suppose that is not substantive enough. I asked what power Andrew McCarthy has as a prosecutor NOW. he resigned his post as Asst. AG for the Southern District of NY and has to be one of the ruthless life and career wreckers Andrew Black talks about. Stay focused on your worldview though, I know it is important to you but I don't hear too many people whining about it, do you? And keep pointing out the spiritually grotesque to us, you're one in a billion my man. That'll sell words. I am not generalizing about prosecutors, who I know you tend to gravitate too, I merely stated what Conrad Black, who you used to quote and seemingly admire a lot, said about them and our brutal inhumane system that outclasses the rest of the world in that category. That's all. It resonated with me. Of course, obviously not with you who apparently enjoys kicking ass and ruining lives that dont jive with your zeitgeist.
ReplyDeleteOh, he successfully prosecuted terrorists. Good for him. He also contributed substantially to the meme that Obama endangers national security. Another reason we got all these boobs supporting Trump. I saw the TP for what it was when I went to the very first (and last) one at Donner Park on 4/15/09, less than 3 months after O's inaug, but still after your ilk tried to get ND to ban him from speaking. Youse folks pissed kerosene on a fire. Maybe giving SH the nuke suitcase. That fraud offshores shit as much as anyone.
ReplyDeleteWe also saw the rise of gated communities. Real communal crap, my friend.
ReplyDeleteAnd build that wall, you and SH agree there. I know, that wall's different. But it still sends the same message. FEAR and RAGE!
ReplyDeleteLaw and Order. Fill the jails! Oh, they're already full.
ReplyDeleteAnswer it directly and substantively directly and substantively directly and substantively or go straight to jail, don't hurt yourself in Park Place after dark. There will be no free parking in addition to a catered last meal where you will not, cannot save your desert for later.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't build dat? Nigga,
ReplyDeleteThere you have it, folks: conclusive proof that he can't substantively and directly answer simple questions about his own viewpoints. Instead, we get such digressions as the Tea Party, gated communities, Schedule 1 drugs, and some tinfoil hat nonsense about "Ronnie" going "downhill mentally right after the assassination attempt.
ReplyDeleteActually, buried way in there in the dense verbiage is a direct answer to the question about why companies offshore: To cut costs to benefit the stockholders. Well, duh. That's kind of why a company exists, isn't it? On what planet does it make sense for a business to conduct an operation in a way other than the least costly?
To juxtapose Conrad Black's legal situation with the role of prosecutors in the war on jihad is to talk apples and oranges.
A. McCarthy's power is that of having one of the keenest legal minds on the planet today. To say, "He's not currently a prosecutor, so his views are invalid" is to set up a straw man of the rankest sort.
