In the latest bizarre twist of the Republican Presidential Primary, candidate Donald Trump has vowed a frontal assault on the article of the Bill of Rights which our Founding Fathers deemed the key right, free speech, especially freedom of the press (which now includes broadcast journalism). Herr Trump seems to be taking his cue from Joseph Goebbels.
Mr. Trump has repeatedly threatened to sue anyone who disagrees with him, or at least hold his breath until he turns blue. Actually, I suppose it would be more appropriate to say scream until he turns more red in his face. Blue, red, seems to change according to perceived opportunity.
I hope that President Obama proves correct in his faith in the American electorate. Whether the Republican party continues shooting itself in the foot remains to be seen. It would help if they were to somehow find some decent candidates. Of course, that is a commodity which they have been sorely lacking in for a long time. Charlie Christ is now a Democrat. And here in Florida we see the Republican Party led by a man with the record of being either the biggest thief in the history of America, or perhaps the second biggest. He has been compared to Bernie Madoff. It is unclear as to which stole more.
