The more I hear Republican Sen. Jeff
Flake rant these days the more I begin to think the wrong politician
got the mental examination, and maybe the White House can do him a
favor and send over the shrink to see if he's okay
Flake, of course, is the current media
darling because he's so out front against fellow Republican,
President Ronald Reagan.
But media and Democrats are a lot like
the British army was when Benedict Arnold handed over West Point to
them. They like the gift, but they'll never trust the man who gave
it, and will go for his throat if Flake actually gets what he wants
and becomes the front runner in the 2020 election for president.
Flake's folly is that no Republican can
ever trust to support him since once he's betrayed the party he's
likely to do so again.
So essentially, his deciding to drop
out of the Senate race in Arizona pretty much ends his political
career and people will more likely trust him to sell them a used car,
than anything remotely resembling a conservative agenda.
Flake should have sought reelection as
a senator rather than risk alienating every other Republican with his
move to the left and his attempt to ride the anti-Trump wave, and his
desperate need to create some illusion about what Trump stands for.
Suddenly Flake has become a defender of
those institutions his conservative background claims he was again,
blasting Trump for doing exactly what Trump said he would do, drain
the swamp.”
In fact, Flake sounds more like a
Democrat than the Democrats do, suggesting he might have had a blood
transfusion that has infected him with a liberal germ.
"No longer can we compound attacks
on truth with our silent acquiescence. No longer can we turn a blind
eye or a deaf ear to these assaults on our institutions," Flake
said in his speech. "An American president who cannot take
criticism -- who must constantly deflect and distort and distract --
who must find someone else to blame -- is charting a very dangerous
path. And a Congress that fails to act as a check on the President
adds to the danger."
This is easy for Flake since hasn't
become the target of a media attack that rivals anything seen in
politics since Richard Nixon or LBJ, and like a snowflake liberal,
Flake sounds so arrogant and self-righteous we might expect to see
him out on the street in a woman's rights march bearing a sign saying
“not my president.”
Flake is trying to beholden himself to
a very questionable media, when the last year has made it very clear
media is no friend of any Republican, and any Republican deluded
enough to believe so, needs mental help quick.
CNN, the Washington Post,and other
outlets have clearly violated every journalistic ethic in their
unrelenting attacks on Trump – and Flake's defense of these
institutions clearly shows how out of touch he has become in his
personal hatred for the president, a hatred not born out of politics,
but some imbalance in his own life. Flakes attacks on Trump clearly
show that he has gone beyond the bounds of reason and into the realm
of revenge.
Fortunately for conservatives, his
betrayal of party and common sense will help candidates in Arizona
who are seeking to replace him in the senate.
Kelli Ward made it clear that Martha
McSally and Jeff Flake have gone over to the dark side of politics
and violated one of the basic core values of the GOP in giving into
the Democratic proposals for DACA.
Trump, appears to support DACA also,
but wants Democrats to give something in return for his support, and
this is part of the negotiation Flake appears to want not to take
part in.
Flake appears to be seeking to smooth
the way for his own presidential campaign by siding with a slanted
media in order that they might not gut him when his time comes, when
that's exactly what media will do as long as he pretends to wear the
label of a conservative.
Flakes comparing Trump to Stalin is not
only far fetched, it is dishonest, since Trump isn't the one tearing
down statutes or smearing people with sexual innuendo, Stalin like
acts which Flake appears to approve, or is so naive as to believe the
media really are the good guys when they launch preemptive and
calculating attacks on a president with the purpose of delaying or
derailing an agenda Flake claims to have believed in.
The question remains, what does Flake
really believe?
