Forgotten Man to the White House…

FOX News’ Sean Hannity  has purchased  the original  “The Forgotten Man” painting from artist Jon McNaughton,  and will give it to Trump to hang in the White House.   I hope it will hang in the Oval Office as a constant reminder of what the elites have done to the ordinary Americans who built this country and keep it running.

“Forgotten man” is a phrase first used by William Graham Sumner in his article The Forgotten Man (published posthumously in 1918) to refer to the person compelled to pay for reformist programs.  Since Franklin Roosevelt appropriated the phrase in a 1932 speech, it has more often been used to refer to those at the bottom of the economic government.

In 2013 Amity Shlaes wrote a bestseller about the Great Depression with the phrase in the title,  which is probably how most people became aware of it.

 

ObamaCare operator fired…

If you violate the rules and break the law in pursuit on the agenda of His Oneness,  you get a promotion.   If you tell the truth and respond to questions honestly,  you get fired,  even though what you did was not stated as being against the rules.

But Earline Davis was talking to Sean Hannity,  and he put his money where his mouth was by giving her  a year’s  salary and  promising to  help her find another job.   This perfectly illustrates the difference between conservatives and liberals:  liberals believe the only job which matters is a government job and that everyone should have one so long as they support the regime,  while conservatives believe in helping those willing to help themselves.   It’s a simple matter of the collective versus the individual,  and ObamaCare may turn out to be a valuable educational tool for the great unwashed masses,  since public education fails to inform them about basic economics and history.

Reason vs. irrationality…

Rep. Keith Ellison obviously went to the school of  the loudest mouth  wins.   I watched it,  but I’m not sure it was worth my time to learn that Ellison is the  radical lunatic  I already thought he was,  aside from his ties to the more extreme Muslim organizations.

Who won Iowa?

Jeffrey Lord says today’s  conservative voices did   —   Rush Limbaugh,  Sean Hannity,  and Mark Levin.  I’m not inclined to disagree.

Rubio, the real deal…

If you missed Marco Rubio on with Sean Hannity Tuesday night,  watch  him  here.

And have some common sense on spending and tax reform from him in a Corner post,  here.

Obama and Wright’s ilk

The Obama campaign must be annoyed:  Greta Van Susteren in a special Saturday night, and Hannity’s America on Sunday, both took aim at the Senator’s long time associations.

And way down in Alabama’s 5th Congressional District, Democratic candidate Parker Griffith shows up on audio tape obtained by Human Events and RedState.com with a worldview worthy of Rev. Wright:

Speaking to the Colbert-Lauderdale Baptist Association, Griffith was asked about the threat imposed by radical Islam. His response: “I think America’s greatest enemy is America and its materialism.” He went on to say, “we have nothing to fear from radical Islam.”
