GOP white hats

Where do I sign up with the posse fixing to free Victor Davis Hanson from the evildoers surrounding, bedeviling, tormenting and closing in on him — and me and you?

He writes in the May 24 Bee about these devious, effete yet brutal enemies. A venal lot they are: elite leaders, a sympathetic press (reliable villains — except those publishing VDH), Hollywood, academia, unions, philanthropic foundations, activist foundations, politically correct planners, IRS, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, wealthy corporations seeking to influence Hillary. Don’t forget the hooligan Lois Lerner.

The billionaire Koch brothers don’t make VDH’s political perp list. Sheldon Adelson is clean. Wealthy foundations cozy with the Republican Party all wear white hats.

We gotta act quick to save Victor Davis Hanson. Time is short and it’s grown shorter since President Obama “came into power.”

Voting Americans who elected then re-elected Obama president don’t figure among the enemies besieging Victor Davis Hanson. We vote but obviously don’t count with him. We’d never sign up with his posse anyway. Forget us. Victor Davis Hanson already did.
