Birthday Fundraiser: Remember When All the Very Serious People Tried to Make “Partyism” a Thing Because David Brooks Said So?

 

In which I sick my hand into to toxic goo of the Forbidden Past of late October 2014 -- just eight months before Donald Trump oozed down the escalator and into the hearts of the GOP voters -- to remind us all that... 

Against Vapidity the Blogs Themselves Content in Vain

You cannot budge the needle on anything until you find a means of influencing the influencers.

From The Twitter, here is a partial list:












Sigh.

Told ya: the Both Siderist zombie lie never dies.

And speaking of unholy things which refuse to stay in the ground no matter how hard you wallop 'em with the shovel...

David Gregory Joins Yahoo's Growing Editorial Bench Alongside Katie Couric

David Gregory is getting back in the news game, this time digitally.

The recently ousted “Meet the Press” moderator will join Yahoo's coverage of the midterm elections, the company announced Tuesday.

Gregory will join host Katie Couric and contributors Matt Bai, Mike Allen, and political commentator Grover Norquist for network's coverage on November 4th.
...

Since his departure, he's been at work on a book about his Jewish faith and been on the speaking circuit. He also moderated a panel discussion at an event held by non-partisan political group “No Labels.”
So...he's a blogger now?

Well great; there goes the fucking neighborhood.


This is why remembering the past can be perilous.

Because it gets to be dizzying when you see, over time, how often the same hacks and grifters have pissed the same claptrap into the same Snake Oil bottles and sold it to the same chumps as Cutting Edge Political Wisdom, over and over again.

I am going out on a originalist branch here but.............


There is no evidence in the federalist papers r the confederate papers from the time that expresses that the first amendment protections to the press with free speech was ever intended for Todays paid mouth pikes of certain wealthy to propagandize Americans out from their quest to find sources to educate themselves to make the best decisions with their vote.

It is like having the right and protection to assemble as the Federalist Society, the Heritage Foundation and all the other Frankenstein labs of creation of deceit and horror. Were is a right but to unionize in the work place is not.
That The Chamber of Commerce will form to have a louder more considered voice than American voters.

Network media promote the Haunting. How the Newt can never go away. he can be readily put forth in an urgent moment of GOP need.
The networks has proved they do not require these ghostly Ghouls to run around when ever Democrats gain majority in congress to find those remote republicans under a rock in Somalia like parts of America ghost towns. That need to interview them and report to the rest of America that their are hermit crabs that have stung feelings that have hard times verbally expressing themselves, so the republican hack reporter will verbalize the concerns of this endangered species demands the rest of us heed.

It is like every day with these elite circles is Halloween and it is not a treat they have for us. It is always a Trick.

Brooks is so right. Take a look at the countries that don't have multiple parties. China, Saudi Arabia and those other Gulf monarchies. Germany and Italy in the 1930's present compelling proof that Partyism is inferior. Why can't we just get along and kill all the worlds Jews and Slavs?
