I have been a Republican my entire life, and I could vote for RFKJr. The issues he cares about are real ones, not fake and made up. He gets it and has no personal chip on his shoulder that he has been hauling around. He is also seemingly humble and very human, not a normal political quality set. Hope he gets the Dem nod and makes it a meaningful race in 2024.
The mainstream media's treatment of Kennedy's candidacy reminds me of their treatment of Ron Paul in 2008 and 2012. Let's hope that Kennedy's campaign enjoys greater success, as statesmen like these two do not come along very often and our country is in dire need of a president who tells the truth and is not afraid to confront the challenges that we are facing.
1. One was a natural philosopher and the other a glorified swindler.
2. One was prosecuted because of his deductions, the other ought to be prosecuted because of his deeds.
3. Heliocentrism is false, but that is normal science. But humongous lies are not errors that can be refined later.
4. Politically and intellectually, northern Italy in the 1500s and 1600s was not the same as the current time in the West, when the state of Science is dire. Our time is so rigid and dark that we have to go at least to the the 900s to see so much boredom, decadence, abuse and concentrated stupidity at the top.
I never thought I'd live to see the day when a candidate who so vociferously opposes the establishment orthodoxy would be glowingly reviewed in a conservative magazine. Whodathunkit? Meanwhile, what you will never see is a liberal magazine give a glowing review to a conservative--or ANY review for that matter. The additional delight was reading the comments which run from the predictively scathing to surprising admiration--to the point of a commenter's admission that if it came down to Trump and Kennedy, Kennedy would get his vote. Even if you have misgivings about the legitimacy of elections, you can't help but be inspired by the 'strange bedfellow' alliances being formed which I doubt many could have predicted a decade ago.
There are so many great things he has said, but how much weight should we be giving those words? I am truly concerned about his stance on other major issues.
Please read RFK's historical tweets in this article below. You don't have to agree with the author but RFK's own words speak for themselves. Pro Hilary, pro climate change and anti-gun. Just NO.
At the very least, I would love to hear the argument in favor of RFK Jr. in light of these specific policies he has held. I will admit that I now question everything--perhaps overly so, but how does one overlook all of this?
The real difference between Kennedy and Newsome is simple.
Newsome is a fake and a lier.
Kennedy isn’t and this time around the vaccine debacle will be in the open. He will provide some amazing data so that once and for all the American people will know the truth.
If Bobby is going to win we have to do our part too. Victory is going to come from the grassroots of America...that means "We the People" must come together in unity and through strength in numbers over power the conspiracy that is destroying our civil rights, health, economy and even our once great Republic. Check out PeopleUnited.net...together we can empower Bobby and our Constitutional Republic to win this war. It is time for the sleeping majority to step up to the plate and take action!
Great article! "The source of Kennedy’s troubles is a chronic inability to tolerate the intellectual dishonesty he finds in his antagonists. He would fully recover, returning to the life of liberal accolades he once knew, if only he didn’t have so much integrity."
That last paragraph speaks volumes - “Picture it for yourself, from the standpoint of a Democrat: the son carrying forward the ideals of the father, finishing the work that was cut short, faithful to the dream that never dies. A crowd electrified, men and women everywhere tearful and inspired, an entire nation captivated. Now think of Joe, Kamala, or Gavin trying to match that.”
I’ve mentioned here that RFK was murdered June 5, 1968 which was the night I graduated from high school. Certainly was, along with the insane Democratic Convention that followed 3 months later, a symbolic milestone in my journey into adulthood and all that awaited me leading to this moment in time 55 years later. Indeed it’s a full circle swing.
But if you are a recovering progressive as well (and many readers here are) this campaign is a rare opportunity to possibly help others come around just by sharing this NR article or maybe Bobby’s interview with Russell Brand. We can only hope that those we know and love will come to their senses for the sake of renewing love and integrity in our great land which has been so abused for way too long.
It’s not the RFK is a savior. Each one of us has the potential to join him as we go through the process of restoring our own humanity. My song for the day written by Laura Nyro around 1968 as a tribute to him
Fantastic, comprehensive piece. You’re right- perhaps the best article on Bobby. Thank you for bringing it to our attention!
Legacy media pundits and closed-minded establishment conservatives (I use the generic meaning of the word) on both sides of the standard political divide want to dismiss him as just another garden variety pol. How wrong can they get! Doing the exact same thing as they did to Trump, yes!
Loved the ending:

I think NR founder Wm F Buckley Jr would be happy to see this published in his mag.
The Best Mainstream Magazine Article Possibly Yet Written About Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

You seem to be firing on all cylinders again. I'm happy to see that. Thank you for every word that you write.
Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed this (& the comment section is interesting, as well). This article is really great, too: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/arts-letters/articles/robert-f-kennedy-jr-interview-david-samuels?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

About Galileo and Fauci:

we'll now hear from the bots, the trumpers, the bideners, and the no vaxx folks- who all seem to be lumping their comments into the same troll hole

TRUTH TELLERS SUCH AS ROBERT KENNEDY JR are demonized by cabal puppets! Fauchi Lied !!on many issues!!
There are so many great things he has said, but how much weight should we be giving those words? I am truly concerned about his stance on other major issues.

The smearing game is on, however.

He will bring issues that are being ignored by both political parties to the forefront. That in itself is extremely valuable.
But.........he supported Hillary, so I dont know if I could support him.

We Always Knew
That Their FEELINGS
Would Be What Killed Them.
It Went Like This:
FEEL Scared And Unprotected
FEEL Safe And Effective
FEEL Dead. Service Disconnected.
That’s … The That … On That.
