Mark Steyn made a very piquant observation while
guest-hosting the Rush Limbaugh radio show on Friday, and it tells a great deal
about the enormous divide between the people who elect presidents, as the American
people recently did, and the opposition press and Hollywood punks who tell the
American public what they should think and who they should elect to the White
House.
George Bush, following the attack on the World Trade
Center that occurred on September 11th, 2001, accepted the judgement
of the CIA, and all of our allies’ security forces at the time, that Saddam Hussein
possessed weapons of mass destruction, so to avoid the possible use of these
weapons on the world at large, and to retaliate for the attack on 9-1-1, Bush
ordered the invasion of Iraq, and has been thrashed and berated by Democrats
and the liberal press ever since taking this action, even though he took it with
the CIA’s concurrence, because Bush, regardless of his security organization’s
advice, and regardless what our allies’ security groups told him, should have
known better, should have questioned the advice given by the CIA, and should
have sought better advice.
But when Donald Trump became suspect of the security
advice he observed the CIA giving Barack Obama, related to Russia allegedly being
the driving force in hacking the DNC and meddling with our presidential
election, the liberal press began thrashing and berating him for doubting the advice and recommendations
of the CIA. There is no way to win against the gale-force wind coming from the
liberal, Obama-loving, Trump-hating press.
When Obama became president and began getting slanted
and politicized reports from America’s security agencies telling him how great
his beautifully planned and executed military operations were going and how
decimated the junior-varsity forces of ISIS were becoming under Obama’s clever
maneuvering, the press was silent, which means that they were not reporting
news (which means that by their silence they were reporting Fake News, as in “no
news is good news”, which traditionally meant that an absence of news indicates
no bad things have happened, but the meaning in the isolated case that the liberal
press uses it, means that no news that might be embarrassing to liberals will
be reported).
One only hopes that Donald Trump can withstand the
withering abuse he’ll receive from his opponents and that he presses for the
changes he promised to make during the election. So far, he’s doing a good job.
