It's beyond reprehensible how we treated Dr. Anthony Fauci....but we don't have an ounce of integrity or honesty in politics in America anymore. We may get our conservative justice....but should in no way be proud of how we did it....and if the other side should take full control of the government....they can do whatever they please.....because we are in the process of giving them carte blanche permission. We have been dragged into a swamp worse than the one we were told would be drained.
Dr. Fauci has been the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for 37 years....and we've called him a liar and worse....and he put us to shame by staying calm and just answering the questions put to him. The knowledge in play here with Fauci and Redfield and Birx....and the experience....is equivalent to that of any scientist in any field....but we think that Rush Limbaugh's 37 years experience as a conservative talk radio host is more valuable in the life and death dealings with viruses. The message is clear....forget experience....forget silly things like resumes'.....forget acquiring knowledge and sucker's things like that....just walk into the room and play your hand....bluff....keep raising the stakes....whatever it takes....for this is the new America.
This is not an isolated example.....as book after book describes President Trump as one who has little use for experts or intelligence agencies or generals or admirals. His expedient and short-sighted methods of governing are becoming legendary.
This is where I am now folks.....wondering just what kind of power could make Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows forget how he threatened to 'primary' them for not signing on to his fake Obamacare repeal and replace bill in 2017....or turn Ted Cruz into a warrior defender of a man who in as much as accused his father of ties to the JFK assassination....among other persona assaults....or who could lead Franklin Graham in the same mistakes....ten times over....that his father humbly admitted to....or most of all what could make John MacArthur....who has preached eloquently and powerfully against false prophets.....and who has been a teacher and defender of the doctrine of salvation.....fall for a false prophet....and in a phone call from President Trump tell him...."any real, true believer is going to be on your side in this election."
I had a conversation with a friend on this power that Donald Trump seems to have. We traded examples of people we know and people in the public eye....people who were once rigorous thinkers....nobody's fool....who all of a sudden seem to be much more followers than thinkers.
Rush Limbaugh seems like an entirely different man that I had listened to for so long. Sean Hannity seems to have turned into a robot....and I remember the day....a few years ago....when Mark Levin all of a sudden abruptly decided that he would no longer critique this president.
What power could cause conservatism to surrender without a fight....or captivate evangelicalism that should have been weaned on warnings of false prophets?
