"You
know how you make America great again? Tell Donald Trump to go to hell." Lindsey
Graham
I am tired of US Senator
Lindsey Graham.
He
is a total S'more: tough on the outside, but squishy on the inside. He
wants to please the powers that be, rather than use his power for good, for the
general welfare of the entire country.
He does not stand for
principle, but rather falls in line for whatever is politically expedient.
He has been a Big
Government sellout from the day he entered the US Senate.
The major media networks
saw him as a welcome "moderate" voice in Washington during the
impeachment of President Bill Clinton. Sadly, moderation has turned into a
political ploy of standing for whatever special interests find popular rather
the principled goals of constitutional rule.
Graham wanted to run for
President on a strong foreign policy platform, combined with his routine visits
to foreign countries and his support for a larger military. Yet he cannot get
out of single digits in poll after poll, and was just recently kicked out of
the "Are You Kidding?" Kiddie table debate.

His latest comments
against Donald Trump betray his own immoderation:
"He's a
race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot," Graham told Alisyn Camerota.
"He doesn't represent my party. He doesn't represents the values that the
men and women who wear the uniform are fighting for. ... He's the ISIL man of
the year."
First of all, a number
of Americans from all ethnic backgrounds support Donald Trump. Two of them are
personal friends of mine (including Raul Rodriguez, featured in The
Washington Post). Second, his comments about halting immigration from
Muslim countries and preventing all Muslims was not a bigoted call to
discriminate. "We need to know what the hell is going on", Trump
commented. Indeed, many Arabs, intellectuals, and even Muslims have pointed out
the terrorist core emerging in Islam.
Men and women in uniform
also support Trump, while almost no one knows let alone wants to vote for
Graham.
As for the "The
ISIL man of the year", that disgraceful distinction belongs to Barack
Obama, whose feckless policies of "Don't do stupid stuff" has turned
into a carnival of doing nothing but abject stupidity. His failures to fight terrorism
abroad, weakening strongmen in the region who supported us, has allowed radical
Islamic terrorists to take over the reins of power in otherwise relatively
stable Arab states.
Muammar Ghaddafi of
Libya dismantled his nuclear weapons program shortly after George W. Bush
bombed Iraq and removed Saddam Hussein from power. Obama has presided over a
massive failure in the Middle East, including the Arab Spring which devolved
into an Iranian, Islamic winter. 60
Minutes interviewer Steve Kroft criticized Obama repeatedly,
citing Putin's challenges to American leadership in Russia, Asia, and the
Middle East.
No, Mr. Graham, Donald
Trump is not ISIL Man of the Year. Notice how Graham keeps refering to ISIS by
the same misnomer used by the Obama Administration. Just terrible.
Donald Trump is touching
a nerve in this country. Americans in general are angry with Washington
politicization which has benefitted They the Special Interests, instead of We
the People. Republicans in Washington are still fighting over whether they will
stay true to their campaign promises, and some vulnerable Republicans are
washing away their bold colors for lighter pastels to please the media and
corporate interests. The Washington Cartel, of which Graham is an enabler and
soft promoter, wants more government enriching the well-connected, with corporate
welfare, financial industry subsidies, and amnesty.
Middle and working class
Americans are tired of working harder and making less. They are tired of the
timeless values of the Founders, and the foundations of faith and family,
enduring relentless assault without a battery of responses from their pro-life,
pro-family representatives.
While some politicians
want to keep their seats, and make their prominence great, Americans across the
country – and international enthusiasts around the world – want America to be
great again.
Why doesn’t Lindsey
Graham understand this? The best answer: he does not care. More interested in
holding onto what little power remains, long-standing Republicans in Congress
like Graham, accustomed to the status quo, do not want loud, outspoken
outsiders dictating a new agenda.
I do not support Trump,
but I respect his views and understand his appeal.
As for Graham, he
commands no respect. Kicked out of the last debate, the unappealing US Senator
has been kicking and screaming for attention ever since. His disregard for our
country’s domestic concerns, his lack of political and moral courage, plus his
all-out desperation to promote himself, disqualify him from further influence
or merit.
If we really want to
Make America Great Again, I advise all Americans:
I received the following letter from a reader after my article was printed on Canada Free Press:
ReplyDeleteArthur,
How do we best tell these politicians to go to Hell and why Trump is rising?
Yesterday I was in my apt,discussing illegals,waivers,Muslim refugees and Jihad potential....all of us are worried.
Suddenly I heard a large slamming thump noise on my wall from my neighbor,I realize he must have heard me and that my entire building is filled with new Muslims[since Obama] and all my old friends have moved out further to get away from it all.
This angry noise ,reminds me what to expect in our future,they will complain,demand and lobby wimps like Lindsay Graham to send me to Hell,while paying taxes for their benefits.
None of these Muslims ever talk to me,which is why I forget I am fully surrounded by them and a stranger in my own culture!
I have been to Morocco,certainly felt Westerners are not liked by Muslims there,my Arab Christian friends say it is true,Islam does not like infidels and will all unite against us if war brakes,they will stand together as one people!
Muslims stick together,my neighbor will tell all his Muslim friends to watch me and now...WHAT??
I am a minority here,they multiply like rabbits and Obama I believe is one of them...Jeb takes his word that he is Christian,but his actions could not speak louder,not to mention his name,his friends and radical contacts...the President and now Lindsy Graham don't care about us and our way of life!
Trump is our best hope!
WE are telling politicians to go to HELL with our Trump card and they still don't care!!
