Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.
Best 5 minute rant in the House of Representatives since the days of Ronald Reagan.
Calling a duly elected president a 'marxist' is an example of the hyperbole, lack of repect, and outright hate we see in American politics today. This McConnell-esqe imperative transcends any agenda that could be helpful to the American people, particularly the economy. By comparison, Ronald Reagan would be seen as an unelectable moderate by today's extremist conservatives. A host of prominent Republicans including Huckabee, Lindsey Graham, and Duncan Hunter have said exactly that. Those that have watched DC politics for 40 yrs can clearly see this. Cooperation is seen as weakness by the radicals like Smithson and the tea party. Not at all like the Gipper.
