'The easiest and most certain
way to get into trouble in the US, Canada, UK, and Europe is to tell the
truth.'
By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: Over the course of my life I have watched interest in ideas die.
Ideas have been replaced by agendas, and emotion has taken the place of
reason.
American political campaigns have always been burdened with
mudslinging and misrepresentations, but I can remember when presidential
campaigns also involved contrasting ideas about domestic and foreign
policies. The issues might have been false ones, like John F. Kennedy’s
“missile gap,” but candidates were supposed to have some idea of issues
at home and abroad and how to deal with them.
In the current presidential campaign the Democrats’ main issue is
that Trump is a dictator who will destroy democracy. This from a
Democrat regime that has turned law into a weapon against political
candidates such as Trump who is currently fighting four felony
indictments and as many civil indictments in the midst of the
presidential campaign. Clearly, the Democrat Department of Justice
(sic) and the Democrat New York attorney general are using law to
interfere in the election. All of this is underway while one of the
Democrats’ indictments of Trump is that he interfered in an election by
the way he reported a business expense. The corrupt Democrat judge
presiding over this farce intends to sentence Trump next month.
The double standards are extraordinary and go far beyond mere
mudslinging. We are watching the party in power use the police powers of
the state in an effort to control the outcome of an election. As for
the Democrats’ commitment to democracy, how strong is this commitment
when some of them are saying that they will not accept the election
outcome if Trump wins? Doesn’t this make them “January 6
insurrectionists”?
Once you start thinking, you will understand how deplorable our situation is.
