CAL THOMAS COMMETARY JANUARY 23, 2018
THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLS THE SO-CALLED “GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN” A CRISIS. NO, THE FLU SWEEPING THE COUNTRY IS MORE LIKE A CRISIS FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE FALLEN PREY TO IT.
THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN IS A RUSE, A SHAM AND POLITICAL THEATER. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HASN’T RUN OUT OF MONEY. IT CONTINUES TO TAKE IN RECORD AMOUNTS FROM US AND THEN MISSPENDS A LOT OF IT.
THIS IS ABOUT DEMOCRATS TRYING TO HAVE THEIR WAY WITH THE CHILDREN AND OTHER RELATIVES OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS BECAUSE THEY SEE THEM AS NEW VOTERS.
THAT’S CLEAR – IF IT WASN’T OBVIOUS BEFORE – FROM A MEMO WRITTEN BY JENNIFER PALMIERI, FORMER COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR FOR THE CLINTONS AND NOW WITH THE LEFT-WING CENTER FOR AMERICAN PROGRESS. IN THE MEMO, PALMIERI SAYS THE SO-CALLED “DREAMERS” ARE CRITICAL TO WINNING FUTURE ELECTIONS.
SO ALL OF THIS IS A CYNICAL PLOY, A WAY FOR DEMOCRATS TO GAIN VOTES THEY CAN’T GET FROM AMERICAN CITIZENS. IT’S REVOLTING. MAYBE WHAT’S NEEDED IS A SHUTDOWN OF CONGRESS AND DON’T PAY THEM UNTIL THEY START WORKING FOR US AGAIN. I’M CAL THOMAS IN WASHINGTON.
