GOP Road Trip

“Barnstorming America” draws many parallels to today’s conservative politics: uniting a group by what they are against rather than any ideal, anathematizing a recent popular president, casting the United Nations as a villain and denigrating the press. The rhetoric Edwin Walker and Billy James Hargis used is hyperbolic fiction and slander. In many ways, they wrote the manual for much of what we see today.

“Barnstorming America” was really eye-opening, and hits far too close to home. I believe our nation is facing a perilous time, with our fundamental principles under attack by the exact people “hired” to uphold them. Knowing we have come through similar situations is somewhat reassuring.

Like too much of the media today, the article damns conservatives by saying they are one and the same as hatemongers. Please stop giving hatemongers credit for thinking.
