I stopped right there. Insulted 47% of the population, armed and financed ISIS, stopped Terri Schiavo's family from saving her. If any of that is "honorable", I'm living in an alternate universe.
How do you post more than 300 words???
I always wonder what Trump’s critics publicly said about BJ Clinton.
Bookmarked for later
Donald Trump can never be described as a classic Christian, cultured gentleman. His coarseness, adultery, business practices and overt demeanor exclude him. He is a man of this era and there are precious few Christian, cultured gentlemen remaining and it is not apparent that any have the political skills or propensity to lead effectively and do what the times demand. Heretofore it has been the assumption that the Republican was the adult in the room and juvenile behavior was expected and forgiven in Democrats. Trump shocks because he breaks stereotypes, dresses the part but does not act in a gentlemanly manner,and torments his opponents with whom he is engaged in a critical struggle. However if he succeeds , he will be remembered as a pivotal effective leader that the times demanded.
Trump advocated for Affirmative Action. Remember when he implies Antonin Scalia was a racist for being against Affirmative Action? Remember when he wanted to ban the Confederate Flag?
Robert E. Lee was a classic Christian, cultured gentleman. Look at all the trouble that came from that.
You could easily say the opposite. There were a lot of Creepers who criticized Clinton and now the support the same things they hated in Clinton when Trump does them.
This took me back to my very pleasant memories of the CNN election coverage as I relished watching Wolf Blitzed and John King become increasingly frantic and agitated as they realized the votes were not coming in for the Pantsuit.
The times call for a bit of barbarism and less than Christian behavior on the side of Liberty. Those wishing to remain pure may tut, tut, and stand aside. It’s a sad fact of life that the whoever stoops the lowest establishes the rules of engagement. Think of Coventry, Nanjing, Dresden and Hiroshima and consider letting the ones who committed the first two being allowed to win.
“There were a lot of Creepers who criticized Clinton and now the support the same things they hated in Clinton when Trump does them.”
Example?
thanks for posting.
I agree with some of what
the author has written here
This guy is a speech writer? The small portion I sampled sounded like doubletalk. Seriously, the guy must have bumped his head - he is incoherent.

Some sources are not limited to excerpts. Rush Limbaugh, for example.
What do u think happened? Well, he made a big turnaround. Kinda like “a born again Christian” I guess.
Extremism in defense of Liberty is no vice and moderation in pursuit of Justice is no virtue. B Goldwater.
Some? Seemed to me he was spot on. In fact he seemed to me to eloquently put words into what I new to be true before reading in a way that made me jealous. Eloquent.
Or as John Wayne might have said, “Sometimes a man has to do what a man has to do.” I think you could boil this entire article down into just that. Especially the part where the author says as much. That Trump supporters got the perception that he would fight for them, whatever it took. Like Trump had learned from Bush II’s mistake of trying to stay “above the fray”.
I remember being surprised when I learned that ‘in the old days” boxing matches weren’t limited in the number of rounds and fights weren’t won on points. IIRC correctly some of those old matches went on round after round for many, many rounds. Politics is like that. There is no “16 rounds and it’s over” or winning on points. When our side is playing Marquis of Queensbury and their side is playing steel cage rules it’s no wonder we have gotten our asses kicked for 100 years.
I remember learning that when Carter’s balloon drop didn’t drop that it was a dirty trick by Lee Atwater. What we need now is more Lee Atwaters. I don’t see their side “resorting to civility” any time soon. That being the case we need to kick their ass and be done with it.
Self ping.
