There can be no larger, blatant, or
more of a non-politician misspeak than Donald Trumps unforced error during an
interview with George Stephanopoulos on this last Sunday. There is no denying that a more polished
politician would never have gotten himself into the mess Donald immersed
himself in. When Mr. Trump gives himself
time to consider an answer, he does fine but he is like a boxer. Just like he says he is a counter puncher and
when faced with incoming, he has reflex mouth.
If he had
spent the last 35 years in the business of politics, he would have acknowledged
the pain of the Khan family and the sacrifice they had made in the service
death of their son. When it came to the
subject of sacrifice, I doubt if Donald himself believes his sacrifices are
equal to that of the Khan’s. This error does emphasize his exact point. He is trying to change a government manipulated
and run by slick professional politicians and their cronies. Trump
has proved many times that he doesn’t belong to that club.
It’s not
just the politicians that have taken aim at the large target he presents, this
whole situation, with Mr. Khan, would never have occurred without the fuel of
false reporting by the media and the “internet tag alongs”. (See my blog of yesterday
HALF AND HALF.) The entire
basis of Mr. Kahn’s attack at the DNC on Mr. Trump was based on a totally false
narrative. In the playbook, of the
progressive mindset, it’s almost mandatory to expand parts of an opponent’s speech
and to edit out what the complete context and meaning of it were.
From the
very beginning of his entry onto the stage of politics, his opponent’s goal has
been to wound his entire persona. Absent
the moral compass that requires honesty his detractors have gleefully employed
the tactics of adding and editing.
Changing the meaning and intent until the original is lost somewhere in “never
never land”. Soaking this all up are we,
the gullible sponges, looking for any little bit of snide innuendo available. There is a reason that the rule: “Thou shalt not bear false witness”, is sorely
missed in our society. We are complicit
in this lie. We have begged for “gotchya” interview tactics, and every time
someone trips up, we jeer and laugh as if we are children on a playground. This permission to give our population false
information does not serve our society or our nation in any fashion other than
a sickness.
Back to the
false narrative believed by many. Trumps
words have had one primary tweak to their meaning and that is the implication
of “all”. That one word has the power to
make Mr. Trump appear to be prejudiced, bigoted, and hateful, out of touch and
yes, dangerous. You wouldn’t think something
as small as one word could cause so much consequence, but it has. Mr. Trump says he wants to build a wall to
stop illegal entry into our country of those people with drugs, criminals and terrorists. Implication promoted by the insertion of the
word all “Mr. Trump is against immigration, against immigrants, he hates Mexicans
and he hates people of color period”.
Hogwash! The current flap
concerning the Khan family is a result of the same kind of trick. Mr. Trump’s comments concerning the Muslim
people and their faith, Islam, in regards to immigration and surveillance has
been regarding and in reference to terms applicable to “Radical Islamic
Terrorism”. This has been pounded time
and time again with the false intent of “all”.
At this point our Muslim citizenry has been led to believe this man is
totally anti-Muslim, and once again the mighty word “all” comes into play. I contend without the media, the progressive
bloggers and twitter bunch, the manipulated beliefs that angered the Khan
family would not even existed and this discussion would be nonexistent.
Honestly,
most of us have enough common sense to know when the horse has feathers why do
we continue to allow this manipulative method of discourse to continue. Why do we allow our media to take liberty
with truth in such a way we would find repulsive in a personal relationship? Condoning the use of false narrative harms us
all and makes no sense. Wake up people. Don’t ask for the truth, demand it!
Pray for
discernment, pray for understanding and peace for our country. God Bless the USA.
