War, street violence, pandemic: 1968 again?

Power Line pointed to an opinion piece at the Hill, comparing news media and their coverage of the 1968 influenza pandemic with media coverage of COVID-19. While the Hill piece provides good factual support for the wildly different coverage, I believe the author gets it wrong in claiming the media personalities then would not weaponize COVID-19. Just looking at actual conduct in 1968 suggests at least one giant was willing to use his status to drive support for the left wing of the Democratic Party.

Jeffrey M. McCall writes of 2020 COVID-19 versus 1968 influenza pandemic:

The DNC: It’s Time For RICO

After the revelations about Hillary Clinton’s primary fix (take that, Bernie Sanders!), and the made-up Trump “dossier”, it’s time to ask the question—should the Democrat National Committee (and God knows how many state Democrat organizations) be subjected to the RICO statute?  I think so, and here’s why:

We have to save this country, and the Democrat party has done everything in its power to destroy the underpinnings of our freedoms. Extreme situations call for extreme measures, and the Democrats are the biggest threat (IMHO) to this nation.  Rest assured, I’m one heartbeat away from wanting all Dems tried for treason, but that’s a little tougher to prove.

The political news coverage and conservative pundits have been focused on the political horse race and personalities and not so much on issues.  One wonders where to turn this year so that we do not, as stated in the 2008 Democratic Party platform, “mortgage our children’s future on a mountain of debt.” Scary charts depicting the national debt made the rounds in 2009. Here is the Chart of Darkness today:

Socialism?

The definition of Socialism has always been that the means of production is owned, not privately, but by the community as a whole.

The common use of the word Socialism seems to be that the government taxes the wealthy and provides free stuff for everyone else. That’s very different. And it’s pretty much Marx’s motto for Communism, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”

Why I Vote Republican

I am not arguing that all of you should vote Republican.  I am (1) giving an explanation of why I do, and (2) asking those who don’t why they don’t.

The Explanation: I could put it this way: on life, marriage, religious liberty, the meaning of the Constitution, rule of law, separation of powers, the national debt, health insurance, and economic growth I do not trust the Republicans to be correct; but on these things I do trust the Democrats to be wrong. As such, I vote for the least bad option in the generals, and I vote for the best option in the primaries.

Compromise, you filthy Republicans!!

What now for the democrat party? Are they still relevant as a party? Is the democrat party dead? Is liberalism dead? Will they work across the aisle with the new, overwhelmingly victorious majority? Will they change? Evolve? Will they take a long hard look at what the party stands for, follow the will of the people they care so much about, and change to become a better, more inclusive, big-tent party? WILL THEY COMPROMISE???

Hell no. Furthermore, nobody is asking these questions of the soundly defeated party of the President either, just like the press did of Republicans in 2006, 2008, 2012…
