In our weekly radio chat, Frank Gaffney and I discuss two recent posts: "Somersaulting in Synchronism" and "X-Mas for Truth-Seekers," which is about the recent Arpaio Cold Case Posse presser on the Obama birth certificate. 

These topics make an apt duo, both being about the lengths to which free people go to enslave themselves to Party and/or party discipline: in the former case, the press and political class puling out the stops to undermine Trump; in the latter, the press and political class locking down an apparently Obama-busting story. 

For all such naked ideologes, seeking control of the narrative is of greater importance than seeking and weighing the truth. It is a highly succesful tactic, history tells us.

Among totalitarians, facts and their implications are always beside the point.
