Trump disinvited to event: 'Blood coming out' of Megyn Kelly's eyes

In the wake of extremely disparaging remarks he made about Fox Debate moderator Megyn Kelly, Billionaire Presidential candidate Donald Trump, (R), has been disinvited to a RedState event in Atlanta on Saturday, according to ABC News. Trump, who had stated that Kelly had "blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever," claimed after being disinvited that he was referring to Kelly's nose. RedState's moderator Erick Erickson did not buy Trump's explanation and withdrew the outspoken billionaire's invitation.

On the opening of the second day of the RedState event, Erickson announced to the gathered crowd: "If you haven't heard, I disinvited Donald Trump." Trump's comments were made on the heels of intense questioning from Kelly during the recent GOP debate forum. During that forum, Kelly asked Trump how he could reconcile himself with women after he called them "Fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals." Trump stated that he only had made disparaging remarks about one woman, Rosie O'Donnell; but Kelly disagreed and said that Trump had included several women in his insulting remarks. Trump then said that Kelly was not being "nice" to him and stated that he could choose not be to nice to her because of the way she was treating him.

Trump also made a veiled threat against the GOP and its eventual Presidential nominee, by raising his hand to signify that he could not promise that he would not run as a third party candidate if he is not the nominee. Trump also told his colleagues on the panel that he hoped that they would be nice to him. Trump then jokingly remarked that he only could promise not to run as a third party candidate if he is the GOP nominee. He stated that he is out to "win," and that he hoped to do so as a Republican, leaving the door open to run as a third party candidate if necessary to win.

In response to Chris Wallace's question to Trump about his comments that the Mexican government is sending rapists, drug dealers and criminals to the United States, Trump retorted back, stating that if it were not for him, that we "wouldn't even be talking about Mexican immigrants." Wallace then asked Trump to face Jeb Bush and explain to him his derogatory comments about Mexican immigrants to which Bush objected and to reveal his evidence that the Mexican government is sending its worst citizens across the border. Wallace then gave Trump 30 more seconds to answer his question and cite his evidence. Trump said that he had gone to the border and talked to border guards and that they had confirmed that this is what is happening whether Wallace "likes it or not."

Trump has been leading among the GOP candidates in the polls. His appeal to date has been his propensity to speak his mind and not hold back. It still is unknown what effect his debate performance and his exclusion from the RedState event will have on his polling numbers. As if his litany of insults for virtually everybody was not enough, Trump tweeted an extremely inflammatory remark about Kelly:

"Fox News gives low marks to the bimbo."

Trump's tweet did not explain what kind of marks Fox News gave him for his debate performance. The only poll that really matters is the one on election day, and the GOP primary voters in the respective states will have their say in the coming months.

A Moderate's Core Beliefs

Conservative's Forum - Conservative news and discussion Forum.

Well as the title suggests, I basically am a moderate. What does that entail? Does that mean that I am a conservative? Does it mean that I am a liberal? Does it mean that I am neither? Does it mean that I have no backbone and stand for nothing?

Let me try to address these questions in such a way that makes sense to everyone concerned. First of all, being a moderate DOES NOT mean, contrary to common belief, that a person is "middle of the road" and "afraid to take a stand" on the issues. It definitely DOES mean that a person DOES take positions. It just means that those positions are neither way far to the left nor far to the right. For instance, one moderate position that I hold is that the federal budget should be balanced. I do not believe that the federal budget should entail reckless spending way beyond our means for countless programs despite the costs (which would be far left position); nor do I believe that the budget should be so restricted that the utilization for federal money is strictly for national defense and for nothing else (which would be a far right position). And once again, being a moderate in and of itself IS a position and is not a cop out or in any way a lack of commitment to a position or indicative of a lack of courage to take a position. Moderation in and of itself is a position and it is the position I take. I am a moderate and proud of it. And I invite all of the millions of other moderates out there to post replies to this blog as well because I know that you all have original ideas and want to be heard as well.

What are some of my other positions? Here, in a nutshell, are some of my more pertinent positions:

1) I believe in a strong military. I believe that the stronger and more competent the military is, the more of a deterrent it is and that the more of a deterrent it is, the less likely it is that other potential enemies will mess with us. (A largely conservative, Ronald Reagan viewpoint).

2) I believe that the United States should not intervene unilaterally in the affairs of other countries without assistance from at least two of its allies such as Great Britain and Germany. (A largely liberal view).

3) I believe that we should continue to do research on new weapons systems and keep up our technology as state of the art at all times despite the costs because the costs to our safety of NOT doing such is too great. (A largely conservative, Ronald Reagan view).

4) I believe in the 2nd Amendment, the Right to Bear Arms because I believe in the Jeffersonian view that the citizens always should retain the right to bear their own militia. (A largely conservative view).

5) I believe in protecting the environment and coming up with as many innovative ways of reducing auto emissions, making environmentally friendly cars and protecting the forests and rainforests as possible. (A view shared equally by conservatives and liberals today).

6) I believe in providing sufficient funds to support law enforcement and fire suppression efforts without compromise. (A largely conservative viewpoint).

7) I believe in supporting public education and class-size reduction. (A largely liberal viewpoint)

8) I support home based instruction because I believe that such is the parent's Constitutional right. (A largely conservative viewpoint).

9) I do not believe in litmus tests for Supreme Court nominees on their views on such issues as Choice or Pro-Life or the Death Penalty. Rather I believe in judging the nominee based on his/her judicial background and expertise as a judge and abilities in interpreting Constitutional law. (A uniquely Kevin McClarty view).

10) I believe in the legalization of marijuana just as soon as our society proves that it has successfully overcome all of the societal problems that have emerged in our country as a result of the legalization of alcohol. (Another uniquely Kevin McClarty view).

11) I believe in providing health care for the working poor who do not have it at this time right now but do not believe in compromising the private health care that anyone has at this time. (My unique view again).

12) I believe in keeping the "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag in the public schools. (A largely conservative view).

13) I support a Constitutional Amendment to make it a misdemeanor to burn an American flag with the rationale that to do so is to desecrate a living national monument rather than to act out any kind of freedom of expression. (A largely conservative view).

14) I strongly support the full exercise of the Bill of Rights. (A view in sharp contrast to that of strict constitutionalists, including Associate Justice to the Supreme Court, Anthony Scalia).

15) I strongly oppose NAFTA and believe that the outsourcing of American jobs has contributed greatly to the decline of our economy, the increase of crime and the demoralization of our overall society in recent years. (A both conservative and liberal view, depending on who is talking).

Well these are some of my views that altogether make me a moderate. I invite all other moderates as well as conservatives and liberals to post replies on this blog as well. Let's keep the dialog going. After all, this is the United States of America, the nation of free speech and freedom of the Press. We all agree on that!!
