“Never retreat. Never explain. Get it done and let them howl.” Donald Trump has internalized the maxim Benjamin Jowett gave to his students at Balliol who would soon be running the empire. And in rejecting demands that he apologize for his remarks about the La Raza judge presiding over the class-action suit against Trump University, the Donald is instinctively correct Assume, as we must, that Trump believes what he said. Why, then, should he apologize for speaking the truth, as he sees it? To do so would be to submit to extortion, to recant, to confess to a sin he does not believe he committed. It would be to capitulate to pressure, to tell a lie to stop the beating, to grovel before the Inquisition of Political Correctness. Trump is cheered today because he defies the commands of political correctness, and, to the astonishment of enemies and admirers alike, he gets away with it. To the establishment, Trump is thus a far greater menace than Bernie Sanders, who simply wants to push his soak-the-rich party a little further in the direction of Robin Hood and his Merry Men. But Trump, with his defiant refusal to apologize for remarks about “rapists” among illegal immigrants from Mexico, and banning Muslims, is doing something far more significant. He is hurling his “Non serviam!” in the face of the establishment. He is declaring: “I reject your moral authority. You have no right to sit in judgment of me. I will defy any moral sanction you impose, and get away with it. And my people will stand by me.” Trump’s rebellion is not only against the Republican elite but against the establishment’s claim to define what is right and wrong, true and false, acceptable and unacceptable, in this republic. Contrast Trump with Paul Ryan, who has buckled pathetically. The speaker says Trump’s remark about Judge Gonzalo Curiel being hostile to him, probably because the judge is Mexican-American, is the “textbook definition of a racist comment.” But Ryan’s remark raises fewer questions about Trump’s beliefs than it does about the depth of Ryan’s mind. We have seen a former president of Mexico curse Trump. We have heard Mexican-American journalists and politicians savage him. We have watched Hispanic rioters burn the American flag and flaunt the Mexican flag outside Trump rallies. We are told Trump “provoked” these folks, to such a degree they are not entirely to blame for their actions. Yet the simple suggestion that a Mexican-American judge might also be affected is “the textbook definition of a racist comment”? The most depressing aspect of this episode is to witness the Republican Party in full panic, trashing Trump to mollify the media who detest them. To see how far the party has come, consider: After he had locked up his nomination, Barry Goldwater rose on the floor of the Senate in June of 1964 and voted “No” on the Civil Rights Act. The senator believed that the federal government was usurping the power of the states. He could not countenance this, no matter how noble the cause. Say what you will about him, Barry Goldwater would never be found among this cut-and-run crowd that is deserting Trump to appease an angry elite. These Republicans seem to believe that, if or when Trump goes down, this whole unfortunate affair will be over, and they can go back to business as usual. Sorry, but there is no going back. The nationalist resistance to the invasion across our Southern border and the will to preserve the unique character of America are surging, and they have their counterparts all across Europe. People sense that the fate and future of the West are in the balance. While Trump defies political correctness here, in Europe one can scarcely keep track of the anti-EU and anti-immigrant nationalist and separatist parties sprouting up from the Atlantic to the Urals. Call it identity politics, call it tribalism, call it ethnonationalism; it and Islamism are the two most powerful forces on earth. A decade ago, if one spoke other than derisively of parties like the National Front in France, the blacklisters would come around. Now, the establishments in the West are on the defensive–when they are not openly on the run. The day of the Bilderberger is over. Back to Jowett. When the British were serenely confident in the superiority of their tribe, faith, culture and civilization, they went out and conquered and ruled and remade the world, and for the better. When they embraced the guilt-besotted liberalism that James Burnham called the “ideology of Western suicide,” it all came down. The empire collapsed, the establishment burbled its endless apologies for how wicked it had been, and the great colonial powers of Europe threw open their borders to the peoples they had colonized, who are now coming to occupy and remake the mother countries. But suddenly, to the shock of an establishment reconciled to its fate, populist resistance, call it Trumpism, seems everywhere to be rising.

His most recent response was totally Obama-esque. That he was misunderstood, regardless of what the videos of him show.
Because the vision of the truth that he expressed was odious. I notice Buchanan never defends what Trump said - nor even honestly reports it: Trump's first several go-rounds on the subject included squat about La Raza. A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. Judge Gonzalo Curiel IS being hostile to Trump, and the judge's association with La Raza organizations doesn't help his impartiality. Quite frankly, the judge should have recused himself when Trump announced his candidacy and his agenda. It's ridiculous to call Trump's comments racist when those comments were made to point out the racism of the judge.
The judge's association with La Raza groups is icing on the cake. Trump had plenty of reasons to believe the judge was biased without that association. The judge should have recused himself.
Because the vision of the truth that he expressed was odious. I notice Buchanan never defends what Trump said - nor even honestly reports it: Trump's first several go-rounds on the subject included squat about La Raza. It was as a San Diego rally where Trump said that Curiel hates him because he's Mexican('we believe he's Mexican'), then said that the Mexicans will end up loving him for all the jobs he will create.(as if that makes any sense) CNN played that part of this interview clip to his brain-dead spokemsman Katrina Pierson CNN Host Confronts Katrina Pierson on Trump's Racial Attack on ‘Mexican’Judge Gonzalo Curiel It was all about the law-suit, Curiel unsealing the Trump scan-U records pissing off Trump and nothing about LaRaza or activist judges. That stuff was added later after this blew up in Trump's face. Note that when Trump pulling this crap on Cruz in the primary he got away with it.
I think it was Ann Coulter who pointed out that the MSM -- and the Republicans - - warned Trump that his position on illegal immigration, deportation and the wall were going to turn Hispanics against him. Now Trump is saying that an Hispanic is turning against him and everyone is suddenly telling Trump that his political positions have no effect on the Hispanic judge.
Noe Trump is saying that an Hispanic is turning against him and everyone is now telling Trump that his political positions have no effect on the Hispanic judge. He didn't call him Hispanic he called him 'Mexican'. Not even Mexican American, he called him Mexican. He publically calls the judge Mexican and says he's biased against him. He must be biased after Trump publically insults him right? Typical Trump. Note that the Trump -scam-U defense team never filed a motion for the judges removal. That's because this is all more Trump BS.
How much money is involved in this lawsuit about the Trump University? Do you know?
Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. if you look around, we have gone so far down the the rat hole, the almighty is going to have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah, if we don't have a judgement come down on us. President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. --Clint Eastwood "I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur
I think it was Trump who repeatedly said during the primary and even now that he is doing GREAT with Hispanics completely contradicting that argument now, that no Hispanic can rule on a case against him (unless of course the rulings are all in Trump's favor.) So Trump insults this Hispanic judge calling him 'Mexican' (he called him Spanish another time) then claims that all Hispanics must hate him, but he is doing great with Hispanics. How can you attempt to defend such tripe?
Fine. So rather than use the general "Hispanic" he called him Mexican. Since the judge puts his heritage first and his citizenship second, I have no problem with the term. "He must be biased after Trump publically insults him right?" WHAT? The judge was biased before Trump spoke up. Why do you think Trump mentioned it?
Sure. Compared to past Republican candidates. I think Trump is around 37%. Which means 63% don't support him and this judge is obviously one of them.
Not a lot. A handful of students want their money back. How much can that be? The legal fees will be 100X what the students get. If they win. Trump simply doesn't want to settle. You can imagine. You're a billionaire and everyone tries to sue you, thinking you'll settle because it's much less expensive. But if you settle, it'll simply invite more of the same. We need tort reform badly. Loser pays. That'll put a stop to all this nonsense.
The only one I heard him mention was the judge's parents' Mexican birth. What were the other "plenty"? Keep in mind that unfavorable rulings are not evidence of bias. Should white judges recuse themselves from cases involving a party who has, say, publicly condemned "institutional white racism"? A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. Fine. So rather than use the general "Hispanic" he called him Mexican. Since the judge puts his heritage first and his citizenship second, I have no problem with the term Cut the crap, Curiel didn't call himself a Mexican, Trump called him a Mexican. Trump slurs a US citizen publically for rulings he doesn't like (a case having nothing to do with any one but him) and says Curiel hates him (hates Trump) Of course, logically Curiel must hate Trump because Trump slurred him publically on TV, and Trump says he hates him, so the judge should recluse himself for a judge that will follow Trump's orders. (how about that dimwit Katrina Pierson or Hannity??) Trump logic, he pulled the same scam game on Kelly but its not working this time, the primary is over.
HAHAHA Of course you don't. You were probably on this Teleconf getting your orders from Trump on exactly what to say on this. At least Trump didn't call him an 'illegal' but you Trump patriots all know that's what he meant, wink, wink,..
If they are members of "The White Race" lawyers' guild.
What La Raza is La Raza?
There's no evidence Trump knew of the La Raza connection when he started spouting off. A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. Prove it.
They are when they're questionable. Couple those rulings with the fact that he is a first-generation Mexican who supports illegals and that opens the possibility of bias. "Should white judges recuse themselves from cases involving a party who has, say, publicly condemned "institutional white racism"? Do the judges also support the KKK?
Prove it. LMAO! A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. Despite the hysterical accusations against Trump coming from politicians in both parties, it needs to be pointed out that he never said that there is something about being Mexican or of Mexican ancestry that makes a person incapable of being an impartial judge. It’s not a congenital or a genetic thing. He said that this particular Obama-appointed judge, Gonzalo Curiel, who belongs to a left-wing Latino lawyers’ group, has an axe to grind because his parents came from Mexico. Curiel is a member of a group called San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association (SDLRLA). SDLRLA’s website identifies National Council of La Raza (NCLR), a race-baiting leftist group that strongly condemns Trump’s immigration policy proposals, as part of its “community.” The group is affiliated with the Hispanic National Bar Association (HNBA) which called Trump “racist” last year for promising to secure the border and vowed to target Trump’s “business interests” with boycotts. http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/263143/trump-right-be-suspicious-judge- matthew-vadum Now you may weep.
In what way are they "questionable"? A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. Reason means nothing compared to his feelings.
So it's only recent Mexican ancestry that makes a person incapable of being an impartial judge? A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. Non sequitur. "...he never said that there is something about being Mexican or of Mexican ancestry..." Your hysteria and bigotry means that reasoned discourse will forever lie beyond your grasp.
More lies-by-omission from scumbag Roscoe.
A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. Such a poor loser you are.
Maybe "anchor baby" is a better descriptor?
As is Trump, as his mother was born in Scotland as a Scot
There's speculation in the Internet that the judge's parents were not naturalized before the judge was born. Making him an anchor baby. Meaning, Trump may deport him.
Mary Anne Macleod became a naturalized American citizen on March 10, 1942. Donald Trump was born June 14, 1946. You're nearly as dim as you are venal.
The MSM has repeatedly claimed they are naturalized, but refuses to say when.
You're nearly as dim as you are venal. You might try reading responses carefully before replying dim The subject was the judge being an anchor baby because his naturalized American parents came from Mexico.
Well Trump wont deport himself, nor will he deport anyone else. He just claimed he would to get the nomination. Those were just 'suggestions' like the ban muzzie thing. Trump's Chumps
When were they naturalized? [CRICKETS]
ICE deported 235,413 illegals in Fiscal Year 2015. So dumb, so dumb...
Forget about Trump. The subject was the judge being an anchor baby because his Mexican parents were naturalized after the judge was born. Or so the speculation goes.
TOS has some good stuff, including a copy of the father's death certificate which states he was a Mexican citizen. Meaning he was never a U.S. citizen. The judge's mother became a U.S. citizen 18 years after the judge's birth. By Mexican law, the judge IS Mexican. Trump was right.
Yep. That won't stop the LF hysterics from continuing to pee themselves though.
