We are seeing a complete meltdown on the left because of the results of the election. In my life I have never seen such pathetic reactions to a general election. To some extent some of these reactions would be justified because of the election then re-election of Obama, a man who was the most unqualified person to ever hold the office of the president. He had never held a job, run a company, been responsible for making a payroll, knew absolutely nothing about business, foreign policy, had never accomplished anything in his life and was not even qualified under our Constitution to hold the office not being a Natural Born Citizen. For that I blame on Congress as they ignored the part of our Constitution, as well as many other parts of the Constitution during his presidency, that requires that both parents must be citizens to be a NBC. It was never questioned by Congress and the MSM never brought it up even though they did questioned McCain’s eligibility because he was born out of the country while his father served our nation.
The left, though mostly through paid protestors, are have having a fit about Trump being elected. I am sure that they thought they had enough illegals and dead people voting to overcome and beat Trump. But because they didn’t, so now they are pounding on the fact that Hillary won the popular vote. Well, only if you count the dead people and the illegals. But what they need to understand is the United States has NEVER elected a president via the popular vote. It has always been through the Electoral College. They seem to forget that Nixon won the popular vote but Kennedy won the Electoral College. Republicans didn’t complain and Nixon even shunned a recount. Too bad the left doesn’t have half the class of the only president to have been pushed from office because of a scandal. Now the Democrats tried to elect the most corrupt person with so many scandals it would take four or five columns to discuss them.
The protests in the streets, the violence, the destruction of innocent people’s property because your candidate didn’t win is a disgrace to the heritage of our nation. Of course all the violence and destruction is being done by people who are being paid to do so: A Craigslist ad allegedly posted by Bernie Sanders supporters offered people $15 an hour to protest at Donald Trump’s rally in Janesville, Wisconsin, on Tuesday.
The ad, which was removed from the site, said it would provide shuttle buses, parking and signs to protesters who attended the Republican presidential front-runner’s event, in addition to $15 an hour for up to four hours.[1] Thousands of people marched in Denver on Thursday night to protest the election of Donald Trump.
Protesters, chanting and carrying signs, bemoaning the president-elect, started from the west steps of the state Capitol just after 5:30 p.m. and marched down the 16th Street Mall.
So many people marched that some chants drowned out others. Employees of businesses along the mall came out of shops and captured images of the throng as it streamed by. Some diners in restaurants along the way did the same, with some waving at protesters.[2]
What direction is our nation taking when we have to pay people to protest the outcome of an election? What direction is our nation taking when colleges have to offer counseling because a democrat lost an election?[3], [4]
They’re offering coloring books, crayons and puppies all to help them deal with the results of the election. These are college students! Supposedly grownups. This is what happens when you don’t have winners and losers in school functions, sports, contests and other things. Everybody gets a participation trophy. Schools are supposed to be training students to be successful, productive members of society. Participation trophies don’t cut it. In the real world there are winners and losers. In the real world things don’t always go the way you want it. When that happens our kids will have to know how to handle that setback. Kids today freak out, demand that the election be reversed so their candidate wins. It doesn’t help when their candidate declares that if you don’t accept the results it is a threat to our democracy: “To say you won’t respect the result of the election, that is a direct threat to our democracy.”[5] then she joins in on the recount effort. By the way, Hillary is wrong, we don’t have a democracy we have a Constitutional Republic. There is a difference.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg concerning what our kids are being taught or not being taught. These supposedly mature people needed counseling earlier in the year when the saw ‘Trump 2016’ written in chalk on the sidewalk on their college campus.[6] These poor little snowflakes even had to have counseling for seeing Halloween costumes that offended them![7] I remember a song that the late Merle Haggard did back in the 1970’s, yes I’m that old and I do like the song, called The Fighting Side of Me and one verse in that song states:
I read about some squirrelly guy
Who claims he just don’t believe in fighting
And I wonder just how long
The rest of us can count on being free
They love our milk and honey
But they preach about some other way of living.
That’s the part I don’t think these fools, including their so-called teachers/professors, understand. They love what we have in America. Our freedoms and our prosperity but they don’t want to do what it takes to get it or keep it. The worst part is I don’t think they even know what it takes to get it. We don’t teach our history anymore because it has too much religion in it, like that’s a reason to not teach our history. Kids today have no idea what our Founders believed and sacrificed so they could have the freedoms they have today. It is a disgrace what we call an education system.
Today’s college grads couldn’t pass an eighth grade final exam. What used to be the number one education system in the world is now 14th.[8] When it comes to knowing what is going on in our nation we are generally stupid! Most people don’t have a clue. We rank second in ignorance concerning what is going on in our nation. According to the research firm IPSOS Mori, the United States ranks second out of fourteen countries in general ignorance about social statistics such as teen pregnancy, unemployment rates, and voting patterns. Italy is the most ignorant of the fourteen countries.[9]
Donald Trump has stated all through his campaign that he wants to make America great again. I believe that he can do that. He has been very successful in his business ventures and knows how to make things happen and get things done. He isn’t even in the office yet and he has already saved 1000 jobs from going to Mexico and is working on keeping more here. Under Obama we have less manufacturing jobs today than when he took office but Obama’s press secretary Josh Earnest claims that 805,000 jobs have been saved by Obama.[10] It must be nice to live in a dream world where you can make up your own stats.
If nothing else it will be nice to have a president that loves his nation, is truthful, will actually have a transparent administration and is placing people in his administration whose goals are the same as the peoples, Make America Great Again. He may be the devil we don’t know, what candidate isn’t, but Hillary is a devil that we do know and we know that we don’t want her or her policies under any circumstance.
Trump stated he wants to rebuild our military and have a military that will be a force that the rest of the world won’t want to mess with. Today he chose General James Mattis as Secretary of Defense. He will be a no nonsense leader. His pick for Health and Human Services, Representative Tom Price, has been working on getting rid of Obamacare since its inception.
We should give him the opportunity to perform just as the Democrats said we had to do with Obama. He never did. Of course he had never done anything in his life so that is no surprise. Trump has accomplished things and has been successful. We will be eagerly waiting to see what he will do, at least those of us that aren’t snowflakes and not in counseling.
