D.L. Hughley Proves Krauthammer Right
Long before Charles Krauthammer passed away, he said, “The difference between liberals and conservatives is that conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals believe conservatives are evil.” (Paraphrased)
Case in point would be D.L. Hughley’s latest diatribe about Trump supporters. Tuesday night on his TV One show, Hughley said that Trump supporters are morally vacant, self centered and that “you could worship the devil and be a better human being than if you worshiped Donald Trump.”
Now, it doesn’t matter if you believe in the devil or not. What matters is that everyone is aware of the concept. The devil, or its image, is synonymous with evil. Pure evil. Unmitigated evil. The worst of all evils.
I understand that Hughley’s credentials aren’t that stellar. He was a member of the Bloods street gang, was expelled from high school, and his vast education stops at a GED. Most of his education has come from the University of Hard Knocks. In some respects, I don’t diminish that. It teaches many life lessons. His success as a stand-up comic has opened a wide range of opportunities for him, which I find quite strange. Seeing as how the white man racist holds all the power and uses it to keep the black man down ALL the time. America bad...Hughley good. I get it. But, let us return to the point of this post.
There is a concerted effort among the left to paint everyone as evil who disagrees with them. Not just misinformed or uneducated or brainwashed or simple minded or whatever adjective you wish to nail to conservatives. They absolutely ‘hate’ anyone who supports Trump. According to Hughley and his panel of pals, one cannot even be a ‘little’ supportive of Trump and can’t be referred to as a good person if one supports Trump. According to Hughley, he could never be friends with a Trump supporter.
I might listen to someone who possessed a modicum of intelligence about the world politic, or whose education surpassed that of a high school dropout, who make their living working in the intellectual community of philosophers, doctors, masters of arts and sciences, social scientists, political scientists, psychologists, or any sphere of engineering. But not Hughley. Especially when his vitriolic hatred is directed like a mega-shotgun blast at more than sixty-three million people...which is probably more now, since Trump’s poll ratings continue to climb. He doesn’t know me. And he doesn’t know what lies in the hearts of the millions who support Trump. He can’t possibly know. But he claims he does. And he claims we are all evil people who aren’t good people and can never be accepted in his society. It wouldn’t bother me if he were the only one who thought this or was just a face among the few.
But he is among the leftist elite who have put their hands in the political cookie jar. Hughley has forgotten from whence he came. He doesn’t care that more blacks are working now than in recent memory. He doesn’t care that blacks are gaining traction in the work force and that their standards of living are increasing every day. He only knows that he hates Trump, for that is the ‘in’ thing among liberals.
Before Trump became president, you can find photos of him with Rosa Parks, Jesse Jackson, Ali, Obama, Hillary, Sharpton...and they’re all smiles and big buddies, giving him awards and certifications for all he has done for the black communities he was involved with. As long as he was on the sidelines, doling out his money in contributions and philanthropic endeavors, he was the life of the party. Nobody remembers his involvement after 9/11 to help ALL of New York. Nobody remembers how he stopped his limo driver to interrupt a mugging on a New York street one day, putting his own life at risk. All they know is that he beat their Queen and ruined her coronation and now they hate his guts and anyone who dares....who DARES...to support him and agree with him. We’re worse than devil worshipers.
I do not think Hughley is worse than devil worshipers. I do not think that of any person, for I believe in the entity himself. I believe he exists. And I believe he is evil incarnate. No one is worse than the devil or those who worship him, no matter what they have done or how many times they have done it. I still believe, as Krauthammer said, that liberals are stupid. But they are not the kind of stupid that defines people who have a genetic mental condition that will not allow them to learn. I mean they are stupid in that they have voluntarily allowed their thinking to be clouded by one dimensional concepts. That is to say, they cannot see the bigger picture simply because they do not wish to. Donald Trump is a man of many weaknesses and character flaws. Yet, so are we all. He has racial tendencies, as do we all. He has a quick temper. He says things that aren’t acceptable to the standard social palate. In many ways, he isn’t ‘presidential’. What he is, is a winner. And if the liberals will just expand their vision a little bit, they will see that he is winning for America as a whole. For the first time since Ronald Reagan, we have a president who is putting America first, above all other countries’ interests. Say what you will about how wrong or immoral that is. It has been that mindset since our founding that has made us and kept us the richest and most powerful nation world history has ever seen. And we all should be glad about that. Otherwise, it would be us clamoring over the fences from where we came, trying to go somewhere else better. Thank your lucky stars you were born here. Billions weren’t. And they hate us for it. Don’t hate those who are your countrymen simply because they have a different political thought process than you do. Especially if you’re D.L. Hughley. He’s come a long way from the Bloods. And he should be thankful for it, and be using his celebrity status to lift up us all. Someone, somewhere influenced him to lift up from the streets. Someone, somewhere, saw potential in him. We all have potential. I hope one day he sees that.
