Kennedy, Nixon, and LBJ to obtain political objectives. The new technologies mentioned were: radio, television, and negative ads. <br /><br />Does anybody have a guess as to how President Trump's political use of Twitter will be historically seen in the future? I mean, come on, he's still using Twitter politically, so it must have some advantage for his political cause? Even if it is just to steady his nerves for the next day's bombardment.<br /><br />I think Dick Morris is getting ready an updated version of his Power Plays--which he will probably not publish until President Trump's time in the Whitehouse is completed.Michael Llenoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05689105280485818465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-71044803869979551742018-06-10T14:46:21.880-04:002018-06-10T14:46:21.880-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Michael Llenoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05689105280485818465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-12703670051493925642018-06-10T14:41:39.437-04:002018-06-10T14:41:39.437-04:00Exodus 22:28 reads:
Thou shall not revile the gods...Exodus 22:28 reads:<br />Thou shall not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.<br /><br />The Analects of Confucius 2:3 says:<br />If you govern the people by laws, and keep them in order by penalties, they will avoid the penalties, yet lose their sense of shame. But if you govern them by your moral excellence, and keep them in order by your dutiful conduct, they will retain their sense of shame, and also live up to this standard.<br /><br />In this post-modern era, I do not know which is harder to obey, citizens obeying the first rule or Democratic leaders obeying all of the latter rule.<br /><br />Now it's just about a politician's base these days. And forget about everyone else... If you can ally yourself with the base you need, you're gold if they win. If not, it's horrible and depressing...<br /><br />Of course, people who are not included in the present leader's base feel like they have no obligation to obey the mitzvah of Exodus 22:28. And I believe, perhaps, that is the wrong attitude to have...<br /><br />The official rallying cry of citizens saying 'No taxation without representation' has turned into the ruler's unofficial rallying cry of 'No representation without base support.'Michael Llenoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05689105280485818465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-26067186477923333152018-06-07T17:09:29.965-04:002018-06-07T17:09:29.965-04:00Ed Barreras,
