The Best and the Brightest Part Duex

“Among those dazzled by the Administration team was Vice-President Lyndon Johnson. After attending his first Cabinet meeting he went back to his mentor Sam Rayburn and told him with great enthusiasm how extraordinary they were, each brighter than the next, and that the smartest of them all was that fellow with the Stacomb on his hair from the Ford Motor Company, McNamara. “Well, Lyndon,” Mister Sam answered, “you may be right and they may be every bit as intelligent as you say, but I’d feel a whole lot better about them if just one of them had run for sheriff once.” It is my favorite story in the book, for it underlines the weakness of the Kennedy team, the difference between intelligence and wisdom, between the abstract quickness and verbal fluency which the team exuded, and the true wisdom, which is the product of hard-won, often bitter experience. Wisdom for a few of them came after Vietnam.” David Halberstam.

Those were the guys who got us into Vietnam. Those are the guys that got us in war after endless war. In Asia. In the Middle East. They told us that Russia was a monolithic great power. That we needed to depose the Shah of Iran. That we should invade the Bay of Pigs to overthrow Castro. That we should use th Mob to kill Castro. That Saddam Hussien was a threat to us when all he was was a threat to the House of Saud and their oil billions. That we needed to support the Muslim Brotherhood in the "Arab Spring." That we needed to depose Qaddafi. That Iran will not develop nuclear weapons if we bribe them with millions in cash. On and on and on. They have been wrong just about every time.
President Trump was elected to change that. To shake things up. To dispense with the conventional wisdom. If our so called allies do not want to pay their fair share why are we defending them when they don't want to defend themselves? Why are our boys dying while the Afghan army rapes little boys and Muslim scum cut the clits off little girls? Why?

The increase of troops in Afghanistan is a betrayal of the people who voted for Donald Trump. Who voted for an America First policy dedicated to bringing jobs and opportunity back to those Americans who had no voice. Who were attacked by the media and the elite. 

Conservatism has failed and failed just as miserably as liberalism. With the House, Senate and President all in Republican "conservative" hands they could not even pass an Obamacare repeal that they ran on for seven years. They cannot fund the Wall. They can not pass anything. Not even a budget that prioritizes the people that elected this President instead of the pork barrel projects that are bred in the Swamp.

The only option if for a nationalist party that puts the interest of normal regular Americans first. Not the corporate cronies like Amazon, Apple and Google. Not the elite media controlled by social justice warriors. Not the Swamp and the Deep State and the vast government bureaucracy. 

The Best and the Brightest are seizing control of the foreign and domestic policy of this Administration. They are going to lead us into more mistakes and more disasters.

You can see it coming a mile away.
