I thought the same thing after that video and the one of “big Joe” posted earlier in the week.

I know what you mean, but this is likely in response to the political stooges out there who wail in protest “How could Donald Trump ever be elected? How could that happen to us?”

This time for us is a further opportunity for our side to point out the clear difference between liberals and conservatives.

I know almost all conservatives had the same question when Obama was elected...”How could Obama happen? How could this happen to us?”

But I would reword this to make the difference crystal clear:

“How could a man who has never held a real job, had no executive experience, has hidden his past, has fanned the flames of racism and destroyed race relations, supports breaking the laws of the nation by instructing the Justice Department to ignore the law, is associated with known terrorists like Bill Ayers, was married by a known racist in the person of ‘Reverend’ Wright, said he plans to destroy American jobs (coal industry), said he was going to side with muslims and demonstrated that in every single case that he intended to follow through with that, has expressed his desire to destroy our sovereignty and done so every chance he got, has demonstrated his overall contempt even as a young man for America...how could a man like this be elected to the Presidency of The United States? How could this happen to our great nation?”

And, here is what liberals say (well, what they WON’T say):

“How could a man who has worked in the business world his entire adult life, has extensive executive experience, has a public, well known and transparent past, has demonstrated in word and deed that he is color and gender blind, thinks known terrorists like Bill Ayers are a cancer on the country, doesn’t consort with known racists, said he plans to create American jobs, does not believe that allowing unchecked immigration of any type specifically people who claim to hate us and desire our destruction (muslims) is healthy, has expressed his desire to preserve and strengthen our sovereignty and will do so every chance he gets by renegotiating treaties that are patently unfair or unhealthy...how could a man like this be elected to the Presidency of The United States? How could this happen to our racist, sexist, homophobic and islamophobic nation?”

"I do not bother anyone that does not get in my face. I pay my own way. Why should i not expect the same from everyone else? Why would they not expect that of themselves?

It is because, if you scratch the heart of a liberal, you will find a totalitarian underneath the surface. It is essential they get in people's faces. They were encouraged by Obama to "get in their faces", or to "bring a gun to a knife fight".

The dedicated ideologues on the left are sickening, and they are domestic enemies of this country.

Good!

I’ll reuse my old tagline.

“The left has no values to live up to.”

Leftists pushed and pushed and pushed. Till the unthinkable happened and B. Hussein was elected.

Donald Trump winning is a natural reaction to that travesty. The Trump phenomena is like a pendulum swing. Obama and the leftards swung things so far to the left that it sickened most Americans.

So Trump is swinging things back hard to the right.

God Bless Trump.

I am with you, FRiend...I am with you.

Seeing liberals being hoisted on their own petards is priceless. They changed the rules, and God help me, Alinsky would be proud of us by making the Left now abide by their despicable, tyrannical, and shortsighted rules changes they enacted when in power, thinking that was going to be the way of the world going forward.

Yes. God Bless and Protect Trump, because he will need it with those insane lunatics out there.

On that same vein: have you ever noticed that nearly every case when liberals enact some kind of rule or legislation, it is always followed by genuine puzzlement at some later date and time, when they simply cannot understand how their great intentions and actions result in a situation they simply didn’t foresee?

They are always frowning, and saying they were surprised by some result, be it availability of jobs going down when the minimum wage goes up, or decreasing tax revenues when they increase increase taxes beyond what is reasonable.

We simply cannot roll our eyes at it anymore...we simply accept this is how it works. And I think it is because their knowledge and understanding of nearly any issue is not only a mile wide and a gazillionth of an inch deep, but also they think they are the smartest people on the planet, and by God, they are going to do it right when everyone else has failed.

And because they feel this way, they not only ignore the lessons learned by people who failed in the past, they seem bound and determined to repeat them, because, after all, they have “good intentions”.

You are describing the unintended consequences of being liberal.

Liberals only double down on failure. When it’s proven that Climate Change is a hoax or that a $15.00 minimum wage only serves to makes things worse - then they move on to some other tried and true failure. Like how fake news is Trump’s fault or how diversity in our colleges is a good thing and guns are bad.

Failure. It’s all they know.

It's effective because the right always maintains a baseline of integrity not displayed by the left, . . This same indifference that helped Trump carry the election has continued into the early days of his administration. With it comes a refreshingly freeing state of mind. . . Don't care. Where are Obama's college transcripts, by the way? . . And this is where everything funnels down to the very nexus of my change in attitude from "Do unto others" to "I will do unto you what you do unto me."

There aren't any rules anymore because the left only applies them one way. Trump is a tool to punish the left and roll back their ill-gotten gains, no more and no less. The rules created by the left will be applied to the left as equally and punitively as they have applied them to the right.

This new philosophy has freed me of more emotional angst that I can describe. Literally nothing the left says or does matters to me anymore. I don't care about their tantrums. I don't care about their accusations. I don't care if they say Trump is lying. I don't care if Trump is lying. . . They created this Frankenstein. They own it. I am free of all obligation. I will never play defense again. I will attack, attack, attack, attack using their own tactics against them until they learn their lesson.

Wow, the article nails it. I've been saying, "Alinsky back at them" for years.

We were Mr. Nice Guy for decades, assuming they had a modicum of civility. The left has cornered themselves into the leftist Stalinist camp and have taken over the democratic party. They basically are communists now and imho, domestic enemies and have to be treated as such. Add in a smattering of Muslim Brotherhood and La Raza and you have a leftist stew that patriotic Americans want nothing to do with.

So, No more Mr. Nice Guy. No more "working across the aisle." No more "bipartisanship." They need to be destroyed or they will destroy us, the country, our culture, religion, the family and Western Civilization. The Clintons and Obama exemplify their plans. Treat the left the same way we treat terrorists? No negotiation?

America has learned its lesson. As you said, we are fed up with this crap. The left created this monster. We've learned the hard way that the left only destroys. Give them No Quarter! Fight for your country!

And I’ve been saying, “Hire James Carville’s evil twin,” for years! Trump has given permission for this form of frontal attack and it’s about time.

Trump indeed has been a conduit for all our frustrations, aggravations and disappointments. He read the population well and spoke for us. That's part of his genius.

This is the feeling of millions and millions of Americans whose votes for Trump were a collective silent scream, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore!”
