It's so easy for you to stand up for nothing, and attack everyone and everything else, including those who try to do good. But, as they say, those who stand for nothing will fall for anything.

I do take a lot of heat on alt-views for standing up for the integrity of the word of God and for conservative leaders. I find it humorous watching leftist media outlets today using G.H.W. Bush's character and leadership integrity to again attack Trump. When Bush was alive, they hated him. They have repeated this pattern since Eisenhower. They hated "W" until Trump came along. One day they will extol Trump while trashing some future conservative President.

Some never will see thru the hypocrisy.

It should be troubling to all decent people today watching how leftist media sources constantly take positions contrary to Trump, just to smear him. Obama was once for a border wall, once for the defense of marriage, once for moving the US Embassy to Israel, once for granting DACA's a pathway to citizenship, etc. etc. and the Left constantly gave him a pass. But when Trump now acts on Obama's former platform, the Left goes apoplectic, as if Trump acted on some new policy.
I can understand your turn to right wing media due to your childhood disappointment with liberal democracy. The question is whether you have just turned to sources that tell you what you want to hear or whether you are pursuing objective facts and thinking critically about what you learn from all sources. If people don't recognize that Trump is pursuing the policies of Obama perhaps they would be helped if Trump ever gave Obama an ounce of credit for anything instead of blame for everything. But of course the pendulum swing that characterizes the two party bipolar disordered partisanship in this country didn't start with Trump. He just exacerbated it.
