Corporate boardrooms, inexplicably, still don't get it about the radical left. Basically, a few individuals get together and launch a massive campaign intended to weaken the country and destroy pride in its history, all in an attempt to collapse the culture and undermine the government.
This is exactly what I observed when long-departed singer Kate Smith came into question last week, her famous song, "God Bless America" now banned by the Yankees. The usual radical busybodies apparently delved into history useful to their side and discovered that Smith recorded music in the 1930s that could be considered racist by today's standards.
Today's standards. Yes, other eras had different standards, and for better or worse the sum total is called history. To hide history or tear it down is just wrong.
Nevertheless, announcing they were pulling Smith's recording of her trademark stadium song due to "sensitivity" issues, the baseball team held firm.
Of course, the Yankees represent the American pastime, while Kate Smith was an American icon for her time.
Following the song censorship, the Philadelphia Flyers followed suit by covering and ultimately removing a statue of Smith.
What's going on here? Simple. No surprise. "Somebody" searched out and found yet another way to condemn not merely Kate Smith, but the concept of American freedoms and the Christian God integral to the nation's founding and prosperity.
With whom shall we replace Kate Smith? Black rap songs in which every line is a hate-white-people call to arms demanding death, destruction and that nebulous concept called reparations? Should Kate Smith, who innocently joined the rest of the entertainment industry at a time when black/white relations were still evolving, have her statue replaced with one of Louis Farrakhan?
Knowing as we should by now how radical leftists continue clever attempts to take us down in every way possible, I'm surprised the Yankees embraced banning the historical best of America, because there are always flaws. Until mighty organizations such as the Yankees come to an understanding of a predictable pattern and the dangers inherent in acting in a frenzy on hair-trigger subjects like this, American values and the Christian religion with which so many of them were intertwined since America's founding will continue swirling down a drain from which they may never return.
(We suspect this morning that Sri Lanka knows a little more than we about the destruction of Christianity and Christian lives.)
Teaching Trump: I don't believe the Democrats did themselves any good by treating the absence of Russian collusion -- the reason for all the hoopla, based upon a phony document -- as the impetus to pursue an even bigger crime. These people are incredible! But now they pursue Trump for "obstruction." Per a James Bond movie title, may I simply suggest, "the world is not enough" for Democrat "investigators?"
Schiff, Cummings, Nadler? How about that? Are these three the axis of evil I've heard about? Oops, no, I guess I'm confused. . .
Here's how I see much of this alleged obstruction: Unlike so many previous Presidents, Donald Trump is not a lawyer by trade. Instead, here's something different -- he's a businessman. Business executives enjoy a certain lifestyle alien to the rest of us because they can actually bark out orders and demands and expect them to be satisfied by those under their control.
If a person familiar mostly with the world of business ascends suddenly to the American presidency, how much will he or she actually know about this awesome job? Yes, there will be mistakes -- and should one be inclined by virtue of his business background to order people to perform various activities, that is exactly why a President is surrounded by people with legal experience, as a buffer to explain why certain options are either illegal or impossible within the scope of the Office. Fortunately for Trump, per the Mueller report, staff members surrounding him usually possessed both the will and knowledge to stop him when he attempted maneuvers he clearly shouldn't -- things he likely hadn't even considered were out of his hands legally. Seems to me, when you're new to the presidency, figuring out the finer points for a dynamic or driven personality doesn't happen all at once.
Democrat border sympathizers: By all means, send your families to greet border incursions, let your kids be exposed to diseases we thought were long conquered in the United States. With effective antibiotics dwindling to almost nothing, surely you folk would harbor no objections to risking your own kith and kin among walking border infection incubators, as we welcome in everything that would be condemned in a rational society?
