The Shame of the Never Trumper

By: Kurt Schlichter, Townhall, Aug 26, 2021:

This is on them, those brave and bold MSNBCNN warriors who sold out the conservatives who once took their cruises until Trump exposed the grift; these True Conservatives™ then proceeded to help elect Grandpa Badfinger pseudo-president. Well, at least they are consistent – when they were nominally conservative, the GOP squishes they backed led us to disaster, and the Dem libs they back now are doing the same.

The Conservative, Inc., crew are the smart guys. The moral guys. The experts of expertise. Just ask them. The Never Trumpers are the adults in the room, even if adults aren’t the North American Man-Boy Lincoln Project’s usual target demo.

This Afghanistan disaster, this utter abomination that will lead to tens of thousands of deaths of foreigners who trusted America, the humiliation of our country – country first, right guys? – and a possible hostage crisis to boot that will require us to thaw out and redeploy Ted Koppel, is on them.

But it’s not completely on them. Let’s face it, they don’t have that much influence anymore. Their purpose is solely to pretend that there is a conservative constituency for leftism. No one points to these doofuses and says, “Yeah, let’s harken back to the glory days when these geniuses were managing America’s decline – that was much better.” They failed then, and they are failing now, and when the Silicon Valley suckers funding these turncoat losers wise up and turn off the cash spigot, no one will listen to them at all.

It’s funny – you look at a toad like Bill Kristol and you wonder what bothers him most – the fact that a bunch of conservatives despise him, or the fact that most modern conservatives couldn’t pick him out of a line-up with LTC Bratwurst, Ana Navarro, and Brian Stelter, who is a potato.

You need to understand who these guys are. They are unaccomplished footnote people, whether it’s “Is a hot dog a sandwich or a taco?” dilemma pundit Jonah Goldberg (whose been coasting off his one good book for years), or drag queen story time advocate David French – whose name we once could have made fun of by citing the Gallic stereotype of military ineptness, except it turns out the frogs are courageously going out into Kabul to sweep up their citizens while the demented muppet the Ahoy Crew voted for has ordered our American forces to sit tight.

They are co-owners of this fiasco. They wanted Biden. It was imperative to saving the Republic, or something, we were solemnly informed. Those mean tweets, those damnable mean tweets – we needed the calming, soothing normality of a steady statesman and got a senile cone-licker-in-chief instead.

If these guys weren’t wrong, they’d be nothing.

This is building back better. This is returning dignity and majesty to the Oval Office. This is reaffirming America’s standing in the world – which means making our great warriors stand aside as heroes from Britain and France and elsewhere go out and do the job Americans who don’t write for the Bulwark once did.

Watching Jenn Rubin melt down on Twitter as the circus she had previously defended descended into total chaos would have been delightful if not for the knowledge that, across the globe, people were literally dying because of the frivolous follies of people like her. To the DC/NY in-crowd, this is all a game; to the people at the consequential end of the policies they pushed and still push, it’s life or death, with the current emphasis on the latter.

And if another of those apparently healthy, military-aged males ensconced at some consulting conglomerate like Bain, or at the Liberty Eagle Forum for Families, Liberty and Eagles, starts sounding off about how the poor kids ought to go back and fight, I’ll lose it. I intensely dislike the whole chickenhawk thing for many reasons, but for these smooth, chest-hairless weasels I’ll make an exception.

How do these traitors come back from this, to the extent they ever could come back from their serial betrayals over the last half-decade and their pathetic performance as conservatives who never conserved nothing over the prior decades? They won’t, but they will still benefit from the milieu they have vigorously defended, the one that assures that even adjunct members of the in-crowd like them will never, ever be held to account. Start wars you have no idea how to finish – to the extent you want them to ever finish – and what happens? You get rewarded by the elite instead of shunned. Come on down to the green room – noted intern -employer Joe Scarborough’s got some questions! And don’t forget to fret about Muh Insurrection! I hear that was 9/11 times a zillion.

Pathetic.

Do not underestimate the capacity of these chameleons to adapt. David French went from pretending to be conservative hard to confessing his white privilege – whatever tune you need him to dance to, just make it rain and he’ll start shimmying. What the hell does David French actually believe, anyway? I don’t care, nor do you, but I am curious, not about what it is but whether he actually believes anything at all anymore. Hold on guys, because my money is on an upcoming column at whatever unread blog currently hosts his mewlings titled “The Conservative Case for Sharia.”

Thursday on MSNBC’s The ReidOut, socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) claimed idiotically that former President Donald Trump’s “extremely xenophobic and racist immigration policies” were to blame for the current Afghanistan exit chaos.

Asked by racist propagandist anchor Joy Reid if xenophobia played a role in the reluctance of some in the United States to accept a flood of refugees fleeing the Biden sh*tshow that is Afghanistan, AOC replied, “It is no secret that the Trump administration carried out extremely xenophobic and racist immigration policies.”

Absolutely false, but a pillar of Democrat talking points.

“When we look at the turmoil of what is happening now, one of the questions we have to ask as well — Afghanistan is a responsibility and that falls upon the shoulders of virtually every president since George W. Bush,” AOC continued. “One of the things we see, what was the Trump administration doing when they were not pre-evacuating out under the SIV program, these Afghan interpreters and nationals and allies? It is because of [Trump advisor] Stephen Miller and his rhetoric and the xenophobia of the Trump administration that there were many thousands of Afghans we could have worked on evacuating much earlier than even this year.”

Again, absolutely false. It is the Biden administration, not the Trump administration, that has abandoned our allies among the Afghans, in addition to our own citizens there. The Biden administration had seven months to evacuate them from Afghanistan, and failed horribly.

The Democrats own this disaster, and AOC and Joy Reid know it. That’s why they have to create this smear of a narrative blaming Trump and “racism.”

Defending Critical Race Theory

During a July 19, 2021 interview on CNN’s Don Lemon Tonight, Ocasio-Cortez spoke in defense of the teaching of Critical Race Theory in America’s public schools: “Why don’t you want our schools to teach anti-racism? Why don’t Republicans want their kids to know the tradition of anti-racism in the United States? Why are Republicans trying to ban books in this country? Why are Republicans trying to ban speech? Why are they trying to fire certain professors? Why are they attacking the core roots of history in this country that strays anything beyond what we already know? Why don’t Republicans want us to learn how to not be racist? Why don’t Republicans want kids to know how to not be racist?”

The congresswoman continued: “Republicans are using these words like Critical Race Theory, which again is a law school curriculum that is not even taught in schools. Their argument is well, some teachers may be exposed to it. Oh, wow, so your child’s teacher is anti-racist and actually fluent in how to dismantle racism in the dynamics of racism in a classroom. That is something that teachers should know how to do. Republicans are trying to ban this. They are trying to ban us from knowing our own history. Because if we don’t know our own history, then it is easier for them to curtail our rights to vote and take us backward to the 1960s as they have been doing with many state laws.”

Ocasio-Cortez also “the Republican base and party” of having “pivoted to using race and using the changing demographics of this country and as we saw on January 6, using a white supremacist core logic in order to reanimate a very core fear of the other in this country.”
