Conservatives

 It has been a difficult few week for we conservatives.  Aside from having to endure the media continuing to fawn over Joe Biden, not to mention a couple of days of hearing them gush about Joe and Jill’s special romance in their endless effort to cast him as erudite and compassionate. While conservatives lost Rush Limbaugh, pioneer of conservative talk radio and by all accounts a humble and philanthropic man. Running contrary to the bluster of his radio personality, Mr. Limbaugh gave generously to charity yet preferred to remain anonymous in his giving rather than accept accolades.. But from TIME magazine to the reprehensible cast of sociopaths on The View, the leftist media wasted no time in savaging his legacy, unable to take him on in life, choosing instead to demean him in death.  Not nice. Rest in peace Rush, knowing you have spawned an entire medium for conservative expression and have given a generation light in the darkness of a progressive assault on our constitutional values. You will be sorely missed 

Other affonts we had to endured, an interesting tactic has emerged in the media.  In the past week two attacks on conservative values came to my attention: Not for the attacks themselves, as reprehensible as they may be, but from whence the attacks came.  They came from authors who both identify as Republicans or Conservatives. The first by The Atlantic where David Frum, a former speechwriter in the George W. Bush administration has produced a steady stream of anti-Trump vitriol, this one entitled “The Founders Were Wrong About Democracy”.  The second article appeared in TIME magazine on February 17, tastelessly published on the day of Rush Limbaugh’s death, entitled Rush Limbaugh Leaves Behind a Conservative Movement No Longer Interested in Truth. That Alarms Me as a Conservative.”  This one was written by former Republican congressman, Presidential candidate and radio talk show host Joe Walsh.  As you can see, I’m beyond just being alarmed! And know I'm not through with our Mr. Frum and his treacherous “ Conservatives,” stay tuned.
