CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 28, 2018
HERE IS THE WAY THINGS WORK IN WASHINGTON. IF YOU COMPROMISE WITH DEMOCRATS; IF YOU VOTE FOR THINGS THEY WISH TO PRESERVE, LIKE OBAMACARE, DEMOCRATS AND THEIR MEDIA ALLIES HAIL YOU AS A “STATESMAN,” NONPARTISAN, AND A COMPROMISER IN THE BEST SENSE. IF YOU STAND BY CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES, YOU ARE AN EXTREMIST, RIGHT WING BIGOT.
AND THUS WE HAVE THE REACTION BY DEMOCRATS AND THE MEDIA TO THE DEATH OF JOHN MCCAIN, WHO WAS THE DECIDING VOTE THAT SAVED OBAMACARE…FOR NOW, AT LEAST UNTIL IT POSSIBLY CRASHES UNDER ITS OWN WEIGHT
ANYONE WHO SURVIVED 5 ½ YEARS OF TORTURE AND INHUMANITY IN A NORTH VIETNAMESE PRISON AND WHO REPORTEDLY REFUSED EARLY RELEASE BECAUSE HIS FATHER WAS AN ADMIRAL DESERVES PRAISE AND ADMIRATION. BUT THAT WAS A PREVIOUS LIFE. MCCAIN’S LIFE IN CONGRESS WAS HIS OTHER LIFE. HE WAS CALLED A MAVERICK BECAUSE HE OFTEN DRIFTED FROM REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES. JUDGE FOR YOURSELF WHAT THAT MEANS. IT IS TOO BAD A RIFT DEVELOPED BETWEEN MCCAIN AND PRESIDENT TRUMP BECAUSE IT WAS UNNECESSARY.
MCCAIN EXPRESSED NO FAITH IN GOD. LET’S HOPE HE MADE HIS PEACE WITH HIM BEFORE PASSING INTO HIS PRESENCE. I’M CAL THOMAS.
