Odd admission by National Review
Rich Lowry, editor of National Review and co-founder of Never Trump, made an odd admission that President Trump is accomplishing a major conservative goal.
A hint: Trump is beating up the successor to the Evil Empire.
Cannot stand the suspense?
Well, here it is:
The Media Is Trump's Evil Empire
Lowry likely thinks he is mocking President Trump by assigning President Trump an inferior enemy.
But while Stalin and the Soviet Union were evil, sided with Hitler at the start of World War II, and slaughtered 50 million of his own people over time, that Evil Empire never really posed an existential threat to the United States.
Khrushchev wisely backed off in the Cuban missile crisis.
We fought that evil because we were the only ones who could.
We were never in peril.
But the refusal of the national media -- including Lowry -- to accept the results of the election last November does imperil the nation.
Fake News about urinating hookers and the like undermine the ability of Americans to make the peaceful transition of power, which is a hallmark of our democratic republic...
From Lowry:
"The media has become for the right what the Soviet Union was during the Cold War...
Now, a policy of containment, preferably rollback, of the mainstream media occupies that central role..."
I find his blithe dismissal of Reagan benighted.
His purpose in standing up to the Soviets was not to unite "religious conservatives and libertarians," but to stand up to evil.
Likewise, President Trump is both developed philosophically and delivering his agenda on time and under budget..."
