Potpourri

January 16, 2017                                                                                                                                       Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

Mr. King was the first black leader that had enough common sense to nonviolently promote the struggle for civil rights in America. He understood that the path to equality would be paved with sacrifice (ultimately including his life) but the result would be worth the sacrifice if done properly. He was a great orator and his philosophy of what’s in a man’s heart came from the character of the man and not the color of his skin. Amen, Mr. King. MLK was also the last black leader that was not an intolerant racist. When I say intolerant racist the names that come to my mind are phonies like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, Barack Obama, John Lewis, Harry Belafonte, and many more of our current black “leaders”. MLK was a leader. The supposed “leaders” of today would more accurately be described as “race baiters”. Black leadership has become about the money and not the cause.

 When the tolerant left talks about being tolerant they mean they are tolerant only of people and ideas that embrace their ideology. They will not tolerate anyone or any idea or any spoken word from a nonbeliever. The intolerance has always been present but with the lack of guidance by a president who has a Marxist community organizer approach to the situation it has blossomed into a full-fledged anarchy. College campuses which should be the bastions of freedom of speech have become the most intolerant institutions in America. The college leftists allow the most insane people and programs to propagandize to our vulnerable college wussies. But let a common sense, truth telling Conservative try to speak on most college campuses in America and the Marxists go ballistic. They will not tolerate that point of view to be espoused in their presence. They need a safe space to be protected from that horrendous speech and yet the bed-wetting, cowering, snowflakes have the cojones to stand up in front of that speaker and scream their brains out. It turns out that screaming does seem to be a stress reliever. But I suppose that shortly after the speakers are shouted down and have left the stage the little weasels slink back to the protection of the dark hole from which they emerged.

A liberal/anarchist does not change his stripes with age. A liberal/anarchist group of Democrat United States House of Representatives members recently staged a “1960’s style sit-in” at the House. The adults have left the building. A prime example of our intolerant national representatives is John Lewis, a House member from Georgia. With not a shred of evidence to back up his line of BS he claims that Donald Trump is not a legitimate president because the Russians interfered with the American presidential election. Can you imagine the backlash had a sitting white Congressman made that statement publicly about Barack Obama after the election and prior to his inauguration? Get out the rope, it’s time we Lynch a white man!

 The Russians caused Hillary to lose? That goes hand-in-hand with the idea floated by Hillary and many other liberals that FBI Director John Comey caused Hillary to lose. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi claims that George Bush soured the American people’s thinking towards liberals by having so severely damaged the economy that it was not completely recoverable by Obama’s greatest efforts. That is in direct conflict with president Obama claiming that this is the best economy in the last 50 years and without him and his efforts it could have been worse. I have heard so many excuses from liberals about why Hillary lost I have lost track of the number. George Bush, Putin and the Russians, John Comey, the liberal message not being properly presented to the voting population, and any number of other excuses are the reason Hillary lost. If you accept the erroneous idea that the liberals, both living and dead, didn’t vote multiple times then Hillary won the popular vote. What Hillary lost was 30 states, most of the remaining 20 states counties, and their Electoral College votes. Her comment about half of Trump’s supporters being irredeemable deplorables shows how she feels about the average American citizen. With that one statement she alienated over 30 million American voters. Her arrogance and condescension, not to mention her complete lack of conscience or moral character, were her downfall. Roll all this together and you have the reason Hillary lost: she is a hateful, vindictive, elitist liberal criminal who could not even make a solid connection with her own liberal base. They voted for her because she was their “Santa Claus” candidate not because she has a stellar personality. By the way, here is the ultimate slap to Hillary's face: Barack Obama claimed on many occasions recently that had he been the candidate he would have beaten Trump. His narcissistic man parts know no bounds. His sexist arrogance is on full display.

So many of us Americans have sat silent for so many years because we have not had a reliable Conservative voice to speak for us at the national level. Donald Trump is not a Conservative but was saying enough of the right things to garner our support. We were tired of the Republican leaders making campaign promises that they had no intentions of keeping once they were securely in office. We were tired of the dangerous and unsustainable liberal policies that are destroying America. We were tired of the “One Worldview” that was destroying our security and economy by leaving our southern border wide open to any and all comers including Islamic terrorists. We were tired of the horribly dangerous refugee program being forced down our throats by our federal government without even allowing the communities any input concerning the refugees being dumped in their laps. We were tired of the nonstop indoctrination of our children to the global warming lies.

 We were tired of listening to our federal government kowtow to the wishes and whims of the dictators and Marxists at the United Nations who are hell-bent on making the US a Third World nation like them. The United Nations is slowly but systematically killing the goose that is laying their golden eggs and are either too ignorant to know it or too stupid to care. The US is approximately 6 ½% of the world’s population but we contribute 20% of the billions of dollars it takes to run the UN and it’s worthless programs. It is way past time to evaluate and adjust this continuing waste of taxpayer dollars and even the continued existence of the UN on American soil. The entire institution is anti-American and anti-Israel and for the last eight years those anti-sentiments have even come directly from our own American administration.

Lastly, Trump is being blamed for every horrible thing that is happening anywhere in the world at this very moment, four days before he is inaugurated! Welcome to George Bush’s legacy. The liberals are falling all over themselves with joy as Trump soon begins the repeal the horrible failure of Obamacare that they put in place over six years ago. Even though they have continually defended the money-eating monster they can’t wait to be relieved of that albatross they hung around their own necks. Obama is feverishly throwing up new regulations and blockades in an effort to thwart as much of the Trump agenda as he possibly can. He hopes to mire down the Trump train in an effort to retain as much of his so-called legacy as possible. What I hope is that Trump realizes that he is now the one with “the pen and the phone” and can easily delete each and every one of Obama’s executive orders. America will be all the better once that takes place. American conservatives have been lied to by our elected officials many times in the past. We sincerely hope that Donald Trump does not follow that that pattern of deceit. Even if he hasn’t made promises he won’t keep the fact remains that those that lied to us in the past are still the ones in leadership roles in both Houses of Congress. Many in the Republican ranks have no intentions of allowing Trump to advance his "swamp draining" policies because they know full well that many of them may very well be flushed out with the swamp water. Paul Ryan, John McCain,  Lindsey Graham, and Marco Rubio are all now on a short leash and they know it. If the conservative train to recovery derails I am more apt to believe that it will come from those individuals rather than Trump or the liberals. We shall see!

God Bless America!!!
