The conventional wisdom holds that cult followers will be led to the trough by cult leaders. Jim Jones, Luc Jouret, Joseph Di Mambro, Marshall Applewhite and David Koresh are thought to be the worst of the worst. However, these guys are only small potatoes.
Recent history records the most virulent cult leaders as Adolph Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro. They were demonic individuals and today the lame stream media has cast Donald Trump in with the them. Remind you that to be a cult leader, you must prey on peoples frustrations, find a bogeyman, get critics to defile you, but instead of backing down you must double down; Donald Trump is doubling down.
What sets Trump apart from those of the past is that he went into this endeavor not to seek power, but to disrupt the power structure. Have they come clean? Not in your life will you say that. The politically correct non-sequiturs have gone on the warpath against Trump; they have a posse to hunt him down. Listen to any one of them and you will find a common denominator, they speak with forked tongue. Rubio exemplifies this; does anyone know what his solution is to the illegal alien problem?
There is no civility in politics, don’t be fooled by the nice talking politically correct politician. When it comes to making deals the backroom is where the proverbial tough guy talk rules. Daggers are out, revenge is for those who were wronged – we are talking blood sport here. How do you think these guys made it thus far? By being nice! See below for the duel of duels between Hamilton and Burr.
The Burr–Hamilton duel was a duel between two prominent American politicians: the former secretary of the treasury,Alexander Hamilton, and sitting vice president, Aaron Burr, on July 11, 1804. The duel was the culmination of a long and bitter rivalry between the two men. At Weehawken, in New Jersey, Burr shot and mortally wounded Hamilton. Hamilton was carried to the home of William Bayard on the Manhattan shore, where he died the next day.
Is it possible for Trump and Paul Ryan to play Burr and Hamilton? You never know, but stranger things have happened in politics.
Fidel Castro walking with fellow revolutionary Che Guevara in 1960. Although Fulgencio Batista was the Mafia’s main man and ran a repulsive anti-democratic government, the 56 years that the Castro’s have been in power have been worse. Private property has been seized, freedom of the press extinguished and freedom to pursue a better life threatened under the Castro’s military regime. But that doesn’t matter to President Obama who envies the likes of Castro and the Chavisimo; may he rest in peace.
