Chris Christie Worse Than We Knew
Ronald Reagan’s 11th Commandment was excellent advice: “Thou shalt not speak ill of thy fellow Republican.” The last thing we want is to help moonbats by firing on each other instead of the enemy while they destroy the country. But what to do when Republicans are moonbats themselves?
Chris Christie has joined the herd of GOP also-rans who are helping to secure Trump’s nomination by diverting votes from Ron DeSantis. Christie stands no chance of winning the nomination himself, which is a blessing, considering his appraisal of past presidents:
Christie admonished George Washington while praising the foreign policy of former President Woodrow Wilson, who has been regarded as one of the worst presidents in history mostly due to his insistence in involving America in World War I and his failure to negotiate a fair peace with Germany, which could have prevented World War II.
Wilson, who opposed the US constitution, has been called the world’s first fascist dictator. Mussolini acknowledged him as a role model. Only Hitler himself was more responsible than Wilson for causing the greatest cataclysm in world history, WWII.
“In 1917, when Europe was at war and dictatorships were taking over the entire continent, and America had followed the admonition of George Washington since its founding to stay out of foreign entanglements, Woodrow Wilson said, ‘no, if America allows Europe to go under dictatorship, we will be next,’” explained Christie. “Franklin Roosevelt said the same thing 24 years later when Hitler and Mussolini and Hirohito decided that dictatorship is what was going to rule the world.”
Few fault Roosevelt for standing up to the Nazis and imperial Japanese. But FDR did more than even Wilson to increase the power of the federal government at the expense of liberty.
George Washington is the gold standard by whom all other leaders should be judged. Comparing the father of our country unfavorably to the personification of federal hypertrophy disqualifies Christie for public office.
Christie’s rhetoric is particularly alarming in light of the recklessly belligerent views some hold regarding Ukraine, a situation that could easily escalate into WWIII if we continue to butt in where we have no business.
As Politico reported, “recent polling suggests the former New Jersey governor is deeply unpopular with Republican voters. He has the highest unfavorable ratings of any candidate in the field. Sixty percent say they would not support him under any circumstances. No other contender has numbers even close to that bad.”
Maybe Christie is angling for his own show on CNN.
