A FEW CHOICE WORDS FOR MARK LEVIN AND NATIONAL REVIEW’S ELMER GANTRY’S
January 25, 2016 in News by RBN Staff
The unprecedented dirty attacks against Donald Trump continue by individuals who proclaim they represent the only definition of conservative. Mark Levin, referred to as ‘The Great One’ by Sean Hannity has referred to Trump supporters as nut jobs and kooks. ‘The Great One’ who has become very wealthy peddling dangerous propaganda in his book promoting a constitutional convention has been quite angry over Americans demanding adherence to the U.S. Constitution regarding presidential eligibility. So much so Levin let the world know what he thinks of me and anyone else questioning HIS candidate’s eligibility: “ARE THE A-HOLES WHO PUSHED THIS CRAP FOR DAYS HAPPY NOW?” Yes, all in caps which in cyber etiquette translates to yelling at the recipient.
Levin is a lawyer and referred to as a real constitutional scholar. Really? Mark Levin can read but apparently refuses to acknowledge Ted Cruz is ineligible:
“Levin then addressed arguments that someone has to be born to two US citizens in order to be considered a natural born citizen by stating that such a rule appears nowhere in the Constitution. He added, “So, rather than being activists, and liberals, and re-writing the Constitution, and trying to change it to accommodate a candidate, that’s not what constitutional conservatives do. That’s not who we are.” From the same piece: “He further stated that attacking Cruz’s eligibility is something liberals have done, and that “using left-wing arguments against a conservative is unacceptable.”
What horse manure. Investigating ANY presidential candidate’s eligibility is hardly “using left-wing arguments against a conservative…”. Millions of Americans, including yours truly, not only questioned the constitutional eligibility of the Manchurian Candidate squatting in the Red House, Barry Soetoro aka Obama, but we’ve gone after Cruz, Rubio and prior to his dropping out, Bobby Jindal because it is the right thing to do and political parties be damned.
Levin gushes that because Cruz released his mother’s birth certificate – just like blow hard Bill O’Reilly repeatedly saying a birth announcement in a newspaper makes Barry Soetoro aka Obama eligible – so too is Cruz. Really? Then why, Mr. Levin, is Ted Cruz refusing to release documentation showing he’s a U.S. citizen, never mind a natural born citizen? I do believe Ted Cruz must prove he’s even a U.S. citizen at this point before the discussion goes any further, don’t you? [Emphasis below is mine]
The statutes governing this naturalization process state:
“A child born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent or parents may acquire U.S. citizenship at birth if certain statutory requirements are met. The child’s parents should contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate to apply for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America (CRBA) to document that the child is a U.S. citizen. If the U.S. embassy or consulate determines that the child acquired U.S. citizenship at birth, a consular officer will approve the CRBA application and the Department of State will issue a CRBA, also called a Form FS-240, in the child’s name…..
“Unfortunately, there is no evidence to suggest that the parent or parents of Ted Cruz ever filed a CRBA form with the U.S. Government in or around 1970, which is why Ted Cruz released a copy of his Canadian citizenship records and not any U.S. citizenship records. At present, all FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests filed in search of any U.S. citizenship documents to confirm the true official U.S. citizenship status of Ted Cruz have been denied access. All citizenship records for Ted Cruz are sealed unless and until Ted Cruz agrees to allow any such records to be released by either U.S. or Canadian agencies. As a result, there remains no authentic evidence to support the claims that Ted Cruz is either a “natural born” or “naturalized” citizen of the United States.”
Last week a new batch of drama queens took center stage in the war against Donald Trump. That would be the Elmer Gantry’s at National Review and various well known personalities who all proclaim to be the quintessential definition of conservative. For those who have not had the pleasure of watching the movie, Elmer Gantry, based on a novel by Sinclair Lewis, watch it on line (small fee) or rent it from one of the many outlets. Elmer Gantry was a preacher. A con man like you’ve never seen. Burt Lancaster won his only Oscar for his performance and was one of the ‘greats’ of the big screen unlike the past couple of decades of ‘actors’ who can’t hold a candle to actors like Glen Ford, Robert Mitchum, Steve McQueen, John Wayne Jimmy Stewart and so many others.
Selective Outrage: National Review Trashes Trump, Rallies Behind Ryan
“A little over three months ago, National Review endorsed Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) for Speaker of the House. In doing so, National Review helped place a man with a two-decade history of pushing open borders immigration policies in charge of the Republican Party’s entire legislative agenda. Ten weeks after that endorsement helped Paul Ryan secure the Speakership, Ryan proceeded to swiftly pass an omnibus spending bill that funded and expanded President Obama’s immigration agenda.
“Ryan’s bill provided funding for sanctuary cities, illegal alien resettlement, illegal alien tax credits, and visa issuances to nearly 300,000 (temporary and permanent) Muslim migrants over the next 12 months alone. The bill also funded an expansion of the highly controversial H-2B foreign worker program, which Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) said violated Ryan’s “promise not to bring major immigration legislation to the floor this year.”
“The H-2B foreign worker program imports low-wage laborers into the country to take American jobs in maintenance, theme parks, construction, food processing, restaurants, and hospitality– meaning that Ryan’s Speakership and immigration policies have already resulted in the GOP’s own constituency, along with workers nationwide, losing their livelihoods and ability to support their families.”
Rich Lowry is a little weasel who has been selling the ever popular ‘smaller government, less taxes’ con game for decades. Just like Mark Levin. Both of them lament Donald Trump is not their brand of conservative. The 22 individuals who joined National Review with a cacophony of opinions – most who have never held any kind of public office – rip into Donald Trump. Here’s a few of them: Glenn Beck ( who idolizes the original white supremacist, Abe Lincoln) , David Boaz, Brent Bozell, Mona Charen, Ben Domenech, Erik Erickson, Steven F. Haywood, Mark Helprin, Bill Kristol (father was a Trotskyite), Yuval Levin, Michael Medved, Thomas Sowell, Cal Thomas; was sorry to see Andrew McCarthy on the list.
Let’s look at one thing Glenn Beck said in that National Review piece: “If Donald Trump wins the Republican nomination, there will once again be no opposition to an ever-expanding government.” Here’s a news flash for Glenn Beck: Ever expanding government comes from those crooks, liars, cheats and thieves called the U.S. Congress – both parties. A sitting president does not have to sign any budget that contains unconstitutional spending.
“Talk radio host Glenn Beck wrote a blistering denunciation of GOP frontrunner Donald Trump’s campaign spokesperson Katrina Pierson, calling her “a hard core leftist.” However, two years ago Beck called Pierson a “fearless principled conservative” when she was running for Congress and enjoyed the support of Texas senator Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), whose presidential campaign Beck endorsed today in Iowa.” Here’s another hysterical one from Glenn: Beck: Trump’s Use of Nationalism, Populism ‘Dangerous Combination,’ ‘Makings of Adolf Hitler’
Let me give Mark Levin, Rich Lowry and the rest of those alleged conservatives a history lesson starting with Ronald Reagan.
Reagan pledged during his campaign for president to get rid of the unconstitutional Federal Department of Education; see here along with the unconstitutional SBA (Small Business Administration). He did neither. What he did do with the help of his old party in Congress, the Democratic/Communist Party USA, was run up the national debt. That was Reagan’s definition of ‘smaller government’. Not to mention signing the phony 1986 immigration ‘reform’ bill which OPENED the flood gates for the 30+ year human invasion killing our country today. Under Ronnie’s ‘fiscally conservative’ reign the national debt went from $997,855,000,000 to $2,602,437,712,041.
On September 9, 1996, while in Georgia, Bob Dole said it was the goal of the GOP to abolish the Federal Department of Education. Sounded good, but of course it never happened. Was good for votes, though.
When Bush, Jr., took office the country gave the U.S. House of Representatives who control OUR purse, a GOP majority. Since then we the people have given Republicans in both the House and Senate the majority. In all those years did those ‘conservatives’ and tea party blow hards stop the national debt from shooting to Mars? No. The first test for all those newly minted tea party congress critters was a vote to stop raising the debt ceiling . What did they do? They caved and voted to keep spending into oblivion, heaping trillions more debt on our children and grand children.
In all those years with a Republican in the White House and majority in both chambers did this happen?
1. Overturn all unconstitutional Executive Orders put on the books by Bill Clinton or Barry Soetoro aka Obama? No. Have they repealed thousands of job killing, unconstitutional regulations from unconstitutional cabinets and agencies? No. The GOP for decades has promoted and executed Fascism in this country. Fascism is regulating all industry and commerce in a country and that’s exactly what Republicans in power have allowed to go on. Book mark and read this important piece: Corporativism in Money and banking has led America to Fascism
What Levin, Lowry and all the rest have conserved is supporting politicians who have allowed unconstitutional agencies to pass thousands of job killing regulations and refusing to adhere to the U.S. Constitution.
2. Smaller government means abolishing unconstitutional cabinets (EPA – see here) and agencies like USAID under the State Department. The U.S. Aid for International Development has ZERO authority to steal from you and me to throw around the world because Congress never had the authority to create such an agency. Hundreds of billions of dollars in more debt slapped on our backs; our children have no future except as serfs to the debt machine.
What Levin, Lowry and all the rest have conserved is supporting politicians who have done NOTHING over the decades to stop the growth of government by actually making the federal monster smaller.
3. Get the US out of unconstitutional agreements like NAFTA (No American Factories Taking Applications). NO. Instead, scum like former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich pushed it through with the help of Rush Limbaugh and former Speaker of the House, Johnny Wino Boehner, who got in bed with Nancy Pelosi to keep it intact. Boehner and Pelosi did the same with job killers CAFTA and GATT. The last two terms a brave Republican introduced a bill to get us out of NAFTA. Both times it died because the GOP machine is owned by mega corporations who want Americans to lose their jobs in favor of bringing in cheap labor from other countries.
What Levin, Lowry and all the rest have conserved is supporting politicians who have pushed through ‘free’ trade treaties that since 1995 when NAFTA was signed into law have killed more than 8 MILLION good paying full time jobs. They have conserved massive unemployment and over the past seven years spent their time blaming Obama. Yes, he has helped kill jobs but it would not be possible without the consent of the Outlaw Congress.
The Republican Party is OWNED by the anti-American workers operation called the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and mega corporations. THAT is what Levin, Lowry and their brand of conservative is conserving. Voters should remember Ted Cruz’s support to betray even more Americans. Cruz is a big supporter of ‘free” trade. That is a fact and for that reason alone he should never become president of this country. For part two click below.
