On The Attack

There are some politicians today who are veterans. Arkansas has one, Senator Tom Cotton….a decorated combat veteran.

"Tom Cotton: Send In the Troops
The nation must restore order. The military stands ready.

By Tom Cotton

This week, rioters have plunged many American cities into anarchy, recalling the widespread violence of the 1960s.
New York City suffered the worst of the riots Monday night, as Mayor Bill de Blasio stood by while Midtown Manhattan descended into lawlessness. Bands of looters roved the streets, smashing and emptying hundreds of businesses. Some even drove exotic cars; the riots were carnivals for the thrill-seeking rich as well as other criminal elements.

Outnumbered police officers, encumbered by feckless politicians, bore the brunt of the violence. In New York State, rioters ran over officers with cars on at least three occasions. In Las Vegas, an officer is in “grave” condition after being shot in the head by a rioter. In St. Louis, four police officers were shot as they attempted to disperse a mob throwing bricks and dumping gasoline; in a separate incident, a 77-year-old retired police captain was shot to death as he tried to stop looters from ransacking a pawnshop. This is “somebody’s granddaddy,” a bystander screamed at the scene."

For the most part I like Powers.

If this is a good book, I'll get it.

Don't agree with her, but the tag line sure is the truth

She's a Democrat, a Liberal, works for CNN.....but this is from her book:

." Dissent from liberal orthodoxy is cast as racism, misogyny, bigotry, phobia, and, as we have seen, even violence. If you criticize the lack of due process for male college students accused of rape, you are a rape apologist.

People who are anti-abortion rights don't care about the unborn; they are misogynist who want to control women.

Those who oppose same-sex marriage don't have rational, traditional views about marriage that deserve respect or debate; they are bigots and homophobes.

When conservatives opposed the Affordable Care Act's 'contraceptive mandate' it wasn't due to a differing philosophy about the role of government...they were waging a "War on Women."

She is all in on the crazy now though and has been apologizing for that book.

Seems that change was due to a new employer....CNN.

A girl's gotta eat.


But the book is well written and deserves a read.

I haven't actually read it and used to kind of like Ms. Powers until she lost her shit over 2016. I understand "having to eat", but is a job at CNN really worth the loss of her credibility. It's not like she wouldn't be able to find a job. Maybe she doesn't get as good a job, but at least her principles, integrity, and credibility would still be intact.

You know the old saying, 'follow the money.'

I don't know if that was what changed her claims, but you will find an eloquent and very different view in the book. She was working at Fox at the time.


Notice how the following fits exactly with the attempts by the NYTimes 'journalists' upset with publishing Cotton's essay:


The strategy of the Left is to never confront the Right on doctrine, or ideas: history and experience show them to be losers.
Instead, "... [t]he illiberal left knows that delegitimization works, It is their strongest weapon ....If you can't suppress views you don't like with repressive laws, then delegitimize the people expressing them."
Kirsten Powers, "The Silencing: How The Left Is Killing Free Speech,"



They don't confront that with which they disagree.......they erase it! Or, they don't allow it to be voiced at all!
In the face of the first amendment, "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press..."
...they have simply re-defined some new form of speech that that they can abridge....one they call "hate speech."


"Even advocates of 'hate speech' laws, such as New York University law professor Jeremy Waldron have admitted it's unlikely that such legislation 'will ever pass constitutional muster in America.'
[If only.]

[Of course] whether it will hold true in the future depends on what conception of the First Amendment liberal jurists -...influenced by the illiberal left's contempt for free speech- bring to the bench."
Powers, Op. Cit.

The Vox article is pretty interesting. The author speaks to how this isn't just an objection to Senator Cotton's piece, but also, and maybe more importantly, an internal fight going on at the Times. The latest opinion editor James Bennet has been trying to get the Times readership to think more outside their bubble. He has been publishing more pieces from conservatives causing staff to revolt. It kind of reminds me of Kevin Williamson's working for The Atlantic for 3 days before something similar happened.

And, from said article, one finds that the Liberals will not allow it.


"After James Bennet was hired to lead the Times opinion section, he made it clear that part of his mission would be challenging the Times’s mostly liberal readership with views they don’t agree with. This is a point he’s been explicit on throughout his tenure.

“We owe our readers an honest struggle over the right paths ahead, not a pretense that we’re in possession of God’s own map,” he wrote in a 2018 memo. “That means being willing to challenge our own assumptions; it means being open to counter-arguments even as we advance our own convictions; it means listening to voices that we may object to and even sometimes find obnoxious, provided they meet the same tests of intellectual honesty, respect for others and openness.”

In practice, however, Bennet’s approach to this goal has frustrated not only Times readers but some Times reporters and editors, ..."

This is Liberalism writ large. Freedom, Liberty, difference of opinion must be mercilessly stamped out!!!!

It has been so since the French Revolution.

Senator Cotton wrote:
“…the Insurrection Act authorizes the president to employ the military “or any other means” in “cases of insurrection, or obstruction to the laws.”

Not surprisingly, public opinion is on the side of law enforcement and law and order, not insurrectionists. According to a recent poll, 58 percent of registered voters, including nearly half of Democrats and 37 percent of African-Americans, would support cities’ calling in the military to “address protests and demonstrations” that are in “response to the death of George Floyd.” That opinion may not appear often in chic salons, but widespread support for it is fact nonetheless.” Opinion | Tom Cotton: Send In the Troops



According to the Liberals at the NYTimes, seeing the above words cause blacks to fear for their safety.

How so?



They should ask this black man.

"The 'Maoists' at 'New York' Magazine Strike Again
The blog of the U.S. edition of The Spectator has a disturbing piece on why columnist Andrew Sullivan isn’t writing about the demonstrations and riots roiling the nation.


But he’s not allowed to write about the riots.

Just as the New York Times was experiencing its own Inner Mongolia Moment over the now notorious Sen. Tom Cotton ‘Send in the Troops’ op-ed, the Maoists at New York magazine were going after their best columnist, Andrew Sullivan.
Sullivan revealed on Twitter yesterday that his column wouldn’t be appearing. The reason? His editors are not allowing him to write about the riots.
Presumably Sullivan’s editors are frightened that he might make the radically bourgeois point that looting and violence are wrong.

Indeed, Sullivan may be a classic liberal, but he shares a love of Western civilization with his late friend Christopher Hitchens. Thinking of the mincemeat Hitch would have made of the rioters and their enablers makes me miss him all over again."

The @nytimes announced today that James Bennet, Editorial Page Editor since May 2016, is resigning effective immediately. Katie Kingsbury, who joined The Times in 2017, has been named as acting Editorial Page Editor through the November election. https://bit.ly/3hdy9JE

...Cotton’s op-ed triggered staffers so much that they were holding a town-hall on Friday with Dean Baquet, the executive editor and Mr. Bennet, the editorial page editor, to allow them to vent their frustrations. Well that musta been some town-hall.



Either way you look at this it’s crazy. After all, Tom Cotton is a sitting U.S. Senator and there was nothing controversial about his column. He simply called on the US to “send in the troops” to stop the rioting, looting, and restore order. This is an opinion shared by many Americans, especially those who’ve seen their businesses burned down and trashed by looters and rioters.

As Cotton pointed out the same NY Times editor, Bennet, allowed the Taliban to post an op-ed voicing their demands this year and nobody cared. But because he allowed Cotton’s op-ed, he’s forced to resign? Wow."

At Harvard, Cotton was a member of the editorial board of The Harvard Crimson, often dissenting from the liberal majority.[5] In articles, Cotton addressed what he saw as "sacred cows" such as affirmative action.[6] He graduated with an A.B. magna cum laude in 1998 after only three years of study, having written his senior thesis on The Federalist Papers.[4]

After graduating from Harvard, Cotton was accepted into a master's degree program at Claremont Graduate University. He left in 1999, saying that he found academic life "too sedentary", and instead enrolled at Harvard Law School.[4] Cotton graduated from Harvard Law School with a J.D. degree in 2002.” Wikipedia.

Cotton was offered the field of law when he joined…..but he opted for the infantry. He asked for a combat position, to fight for my country. Active duty in the 101st airborne. Bronze Star.

Our friends on the Left probably don’t love this veteran as much a they do Bradley Manning, or Bowe Bergdahl. Democrats elected one who claimed to ‘loathe’ the military as President.

I bet you can guess which party Senator Cotton belongs to.



2. There can be no more pointed indictment of the current so-called ‘journalists’ than this Vox headline:

“The New York Times staff revolt over Tom Cotton’s op-ed, explained

Why New York Times journalists publicly revolted against a senator’s op-ed calling on Trump to “send in the troops” — and what this says about journalism in the Trump era.

This week, the New York Times staff revolted against its editors.

The inciting incident was the decision to publish an op-ed by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) titled “Send In the Troops.” Claiming that “rioters have plunged many American cities into anarchy,” Cotton argued that soldiers be sent as “backup” for the police to end the violence.

“One thing above all else will restore order to our streets: an overwhelming show of force to disperse, detain and ultimately deter lawbreakers,” the senator wrote.” The New York Times staff revolt over Tom Cotton’s op-ed, explained



Time and again we have seen the result of government school, and the crop of graduates who vote Democrat and work to silence any opposing voice.

No matter what those who disagree, have done for the country.

The horrible President who you support has made your opinions useless. The whole world is protesting. Trump is a worldwide joke. So are you and those like you.

I agree, my opinions would be useless to you.


They are meant for thinking individuals.

Explaining this complex situation to you, again, would be like putting an elevator in an out-house.

I accept your capitulation.

Joseph McCarthy was a marine. LBJ, a navy man, as was Nixon.

Gonna look a whole lot different when those neanderthals are facing armed resistance.
