Meanwhile, at a Publication Operated by John McCain's Son-In-Law...



As one America-hating Libtard blogger noted last year, Mr. Ben Domenech would most likely still be just another back-bench wingnut plagiarist and policy hack at America's most infamous climate change denial chop shop were it not for MSNBC's Chris Hayes who inexplicably decided to become Domenech's most reliable hype man:


I got your back, Bilbro Baggins!

And having milked Mr. Hayes for every erg of reupholstered credibility he could carry, Mr. Domenech moved on to greener pastures.  Specifically to a career as a network-teevee-friendly Beltway Conservative, the owner and operator of the dark-money funded, Breitbart-wannabe rat-shack called "The Federalist" and the son-in-law of John McCain.

In fact, it is thanks to a headline today in Mr. Domenech's dark-money funded, schlock house that I know that I'm not just merely a blogger but an America-hating Libtard blogger:
Can Democrats Ever Rediscover Their Patriotism?

A New York Times op-ed argues Democrats must stop ceding love of America to the GOP, but how much do they really love it?

By David Marcus
Wow.

Pretty damning.

So who exactly is David Marcus that I should trust his sweeping cultural judgements?
David Marcus is the Federalist's New York Correspondent. He is also the Artistic Director of Blue Box World, a Brooklyn based theater project. His plays have been seen on the stages of Galapagos Arts Space, D Lounge, and Theater Double Rep. A former member of the Bat Acting Company at the Flea Theater he has also performed at the Kennedy Center and Theater for the New City among many others. 
Ah, but this is what makes it art (emphasis added):
His work has appeared in National Review Online, The New York Times, City Journal, PJ Media, Liberty Island and the New York Theater Review.
It's true.  During what historians may well one day call The New York Times' "flailing around like clueless, slobberknocked nitwits" years, the Gray Lady has been handing out op-ed real estate 1889 Land Rush-fashion to virtually any wingnut who showed up at their door with any "credential" at all.  And thus, in September of 2017...
These New Yorkers Actually Like Trump
...
David Marcus is a senior contributor to The Federalist.
Yes, from now until the Rapture, this fifth-tier wingnut blogger whose name you never knew until today will have "New York Times contributor" as the top line of his resume.

So why bother with this today?

Because it is important to remember as as we push forward into a dark and dangerous future that the entire Conservative movement is being kept afloat by the kind of hate-by-numbers dreck which sites like The Federalist crank out every day:
Why It Would Be Stupid To Vote For Democrats To Punish Republicans In The Midterms

The insurgent left wing of the Democratic Party makes it hard to argue against voting for Republicans in the midterms.
Dreck which would be laughed out of any decent Freshman composition class and die in a corner were it not for the enormous sums of dark money being spent to keep sites like The Federalist financially viable, and the collective efforts of establishment institutions like The New York Times, Liberal outposts like MSNBC and Republican royalty like the McCain Dynasty to lend them a wholly unearned and undeserved credibility.

So when you find that a person like Ms. Bre Payton who came straight off the college wingnut assembly line --
Patrick Henry College is a private, independent college with an Evangelical Christian basis that focuses on teaching classical liberal arts and government, located in Purcellville, Virginia, United States. 
-- and into the service of Ben Domenech --
Bre Payton has been a Staff Writer for The Federalist since June 2015. She is the site's culture and millennial politics reporter and has written on subjects ranging from Kanye West​ to Supreme Court​ rulings to breaking news. 
-- is being paid to write bile like this --
Liz Warren Urges Parents Of Dead College Student To Focus On ‘Real Problems’ At The Border
-- you should not be even a little bit surprised that, thanks to her three years as a "journalist" under Mr. Domenech's tutelage --
After graduation, she moved to a town-house in Alexandria and became one of eight full-time employees for The Feder­alist. Payton’s transition from hard news stories to opinion pieces was not without its challenges, but she’s since fallen into the rhythm of her work.

“I’ve learned to write longer pieces, which I didn’t really think was possible,” Payton said. “I don’t like to say a lot of things that aren’t necessary, you know? During my time at PHC, I don’t think I ever met word count on any assignment or paper.”

Now, she can crank out an 800 or 1,000 word piece in a couple hours.
-- her resume looks like this:
She has appeared on Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, NPR, BBC World News, among others, and her work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Washington Times, Daily Signal, WORLD Magazine, and The Daily Caller to name a few...
Because there is a Club, kids.

And despite being right about the Right all along, we are definitely not in it.

Behold, a Tip Jar!

In other words, Better Hitler than Blum!

Spoken like a true Vichy Republican!

"erg," you say? I read it 'gag.' Gag of upholtstery ... or was it gag of credence....

Yet a bright idea flipping a switch on "the college wingnut assembly line," shifting it into reverse so it runs backwards:

Granting 4-year deprograms leading to a Backup Degree -- enroll righteous wingnuts and they degraduate as coherent skulls full of mush with capacity for stimulus-response behavior.
Dancing stop and look around, see what's going down

Public oversight is going down -- a videophone on every purse string! -- covering to suffocate thieves stealing public money.
Republicans stole $1 trillion 200 billion of our money last year.
And all we got was this organ-grinder's oranguatang lummox going jerky gesture on our sidewalks.

Let's draw a line in the mind to separate crime and sin.

Crime is by quantity, sin is by quality.

Stated Law charges and tries criminals.
Tribal History charges and tries sinners.

We can't ajudicate quality.
and
History has no quantitative plus-or-minus.

Rising seas perhaps washout that line in the sand of time so lights out never mind

If you want to see the dreck Stephen Miller wrote and published in his college paper, here ya go: here's his claim that opposing the Iraq War is "unpatriotic":"When Ted Kennedy gets up and says on an international stage that "shamefully, we now learn that Saddam's torture chambers reopened under new management-U.S. management," he is not exercising the dissent of a patriot but that of a traitor. It's of course true that such egregious comments are not legally treasonous, but when you lie about your country, slander the troops serving overseas and compare our military with that of one of the world's worst dictators, you have betrayed your nation and are morally guilty of treason.

When Cindy Sheehan calls the same Iraqi terrorists that slew her son "freedom fighters" and argues that George W. Bush is "ten times worse than Osama Bin Laden," she's not engaged in morally defensible dissent. She's supporting our enemies and lying about the true nature of our country's military activities. Not once has Bush ever deliberately targeted innocent civilians. It is impossible to validly argue that Bush is a terrorist. Sheehan's rants qualify as unpatriotic dissent of the worst kind.

Islamic terrorists have declared holy war on the United States. They have declared a death sentence on every man, woman and child living in this country. They are actively seeking, with the assistance of radical Muslim despots, weapons that would permit them to execute hundreds of thousands of Americans in a single attack. America, under the leadership of George W. Bush, is doing its best to protect its citizens, defeat its enemies and prevent the unthinkable from occurring."

The "Destination" of the GOP cum POG Crusaders has not deviated since the first salvos of the Reagan Retribution. Continuous cycles of FILL and FLUSH facilitating transfer of money and power while degrading the liberal progressive brand.

...Recalculating...
