Cult of Personality


In the heat of the Cold War, American propagandist coined an effective term for the Soviet Union’s leadership. We called it a “cult of personality” ... meaning that Stalin and other despots there ruled through the force of their personal whims.  The Dems and media have figured that they can smear Trump with a similar pejorative. He is now a leader of a cult ... meaning that those of us who agree with him are mindless zombies ... see: Deprogramming the Cult.

However, this is a flawed analogy because many of Trump’s fans, like myself, find that he has a sandpaper personality ... yet still admire his policies ... see: The Truth. So, kind readers, I guess we might instead best be dubbed a “cult of policies?”

The I’s Have It


In a recent speech in India, President Obama referred to himself 118 times in the course of three minutes … see: PJ Media Video! Can we have a more self-absorbed chief executive?

And we think that a “cult of personality" exists only in Russia …

Cult of Personality


The media is in a frenzy ... Hillary Clinton has gone to Iowa to "attend Tom Harkin's annual Steak Fry" ...  acting coy and coquettish about whether she will seek the presidency in 2016. Makes me want to heave to see she and husband, Billy Bob, playing the frenzied crowd like a harp ... see: New York Times' Saccharin Coverage. Isn't this the exact same kind of cult-of-personality mindless adulation that got us into our current governance morass?

Such glorification makes for a big head ... but an even bigger bank account. Hillary Clinton, until such time as she decides (from on high) about her run for the Oval Office, can still command her astronomical speaking fees (maybe even higher ones) and she and Billy Bob can also extort hefty donations to the Clinton Foundation ... as potential access grease for when she would be president.

And this is why I believe that she won't run ... repeat won't run ... and why she will put this Macbeth-like decision off for as long as the national media will tolerate. By then she will likely have feathered her nest and that of the Clinton Foundation to the tune of mega millions ... enough to spend her last years in plutocratic luxury ... and keep Billy Bob in bimbos.
