Donald Trump Against the Decline and Fall
americanthinker.com ^ | William A. Levinson

Posted on 08/15/2016 3:48:36 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Donald Trump was not my first choice for the Republican nomination. He often makes intemperate statements, and comes across as his own worst enemy during the campaign. He might not be the best person lead the United States down the right road to a secure and prosperous future, but he is at least on the right road. If we're on the wrong road, as represented by Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee, we have no chance whatsoever of reaching any destination except national ruin.

Robinson, Breasted, and Smith's most recent edition of Earlier Ages was written in 1965, more than 50 years before the current issues it describes with uncanny precision. These issues are, quite simply, as Michael Savage describes them: "Borders, language, and culture." Donald Trump has shown clearly that he wants to choose the road that leads us away from the Roman Empire's fatal mistakes while Hillary Clinton wants to repeat them.

One of the discussion questions for the chapter on "A Century of Revolution" is, "The racial change which took place in the population was the greatest single cause of the downfall of Rome" (page 366). Page 355 makes it clear, however, that "racial" does not refer to skin color or ethnicity as it does today, but rather to attitudes, values, and culture. Rome benefited enormously from ethnic diversity while foreign, inferior, and non-Roman attitudes and values were the principal causes of its destruction.

Desirable Immigrants Helped Build Rome and the United States

Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party support unrestricted immigration while Donald Trump welcomes only immigrants who have job skills along with American values, or who are at least willing to adopt our values. The roles of desirable and undesirable immigrants in Rome are object lessons here.

We were in trouble when the rapist in Chief called America a salad instead of a melting pot back in the 90s.

Bosnia was a salad. The middle east is a salad.

Salads dont work out so great.

HISTORY REPEASTS ITSELF ON A MONSTROUS SCALE
Goodbye Europe; It was Nice Knowing You
US Defense Watch ^ | August 14, 2016 | Ray Starmann
FR Posted by pboyington

EXCERPT Western Europe is dying right before our eyes and its demise is completely self-induced. A combination of socialism, globalism, naivete and downright stupidity has created a refugee crisis that is metastasizing into a Stage 4 cancer destroying European culture and society.

While France, Britain, Germany, Sweden, Austria and Italy are hell bent on their own destruction, Eastern Europe has stubbornly refused to open its doors to the biggest Muslim invasion of the continent since the Turks knocked at the gates of Vienna. Perhaps those in the East still fear the Ottoman Empire knocking on their southern doorstep.

Over two million refugees have stormed into Europe, making a beeline to countries like Germany and Sweden which have given a green light to the invasion of their nations. ......millions of Muslim refugees arriving into countries with no shared language, culture, religion and values, it was only a matter of time before chaos ensued in Western Europe. That day has arrived.

The Europeans have imported a culture of terror into their once peaceful, beautiful, quaint and ancient continent. Not a week or several days pass now without a breaking news story of a Muslim committing an act of violence and murder. Packs of roving young Muslim men patrol the once quiet streets of Germany and Sweden like jackals, looking for blond women they can rape or molest.

In fact an epidemic of rape has infested Europe courtesy of its new Islamic guests from Africa, Asia and the Middle East. According to the Gatestone Institute:

Attacks occurred at beaches, bike trails, cemeteries, discotheques, grocery stores, music festivals, parking garages, playgrounds, schools, shopping malls, taxis, public transportation (buses, trams, intercity express trains, and subways), public parks, public squares, public swimming pools, and public restrooms. Predators are lurking everywhere; safety nowhere.”

“Dozens of women and children have been assaulted by migrants at summer festivals and public swimming pools—staples of ordinary German life.”

In July, at least 24 women were sexually assaulted at the Breminale music festival in Bremen. Women were also assaulted at outdoor festivals in Aschheim, Balve, Gerolzhofen, Grenzach-Wyhlen Heide, Loßburg, Lütjenburg, Meschede, Poing, Reutlingen, Sinsheim, Wolfhagen, and Wolfratshausen.

In July, women and children were also sexually assaulted at public swimming pools in Babenhausen, Dachau, Delbrück, Hamm, Hilchenbach, Kirchheim, Lörrach, Marklohe, Mönchengladbach, Mörfelden-Walldorf, Oberursel, Remagen, Rinteln, Schwetzingen, and Stuttgart-Vaihingen.

The rapes, the molestations, the pedophilia, the common thievery, the murders, the terror attacks are all downplayed or ignored by idiotic EU government bureaucrats who believe they can con anaesthetized populations into accepting the complete and utter devastation of their nations. Even more insane are the feminist rape victims in Sweden and Germany who don’t blame their attackers, but instead feel pity for them.

With the flag at half mast most of the time when it isn’t being burned or trod upon, and the American ship of state sinking faster than the Titanic, WHO gives a damn about “temperate” personalities? I am looking for a STREET FIGHTER, a WARRIOR, to get this country back on an even keel. Any Trump “intemperate” remarks only STRENGTHEN my belief that I have chosen the strongest PATRIOT out there in Donald Trump! Most people would agree that Patrick Henry with his flaming rhetoric, and Samuel Adams with his “intemperate” actions were among our GREATEST PATRIOTS of all time!
STOP the NEGATIVISM! Can’t anybody write an article without pointing out his own ideas of faults of our candidate in the opening line? Haven’t we had enough of Political Correctness and temperate behavior which has sucked our country down to the deepest depths?

William Munny in the classic western Unforgiven was a man known to be somewhat intemperate and he cleaned up the town of Little Whiskey quite nicely!

Trump needs to do the same in Washington, pray to God he does...

Salads get eaten... or thrown out with the garbage. Maybe Clinton’s analogy was appropriate?

Quite Nicely! A FACT driven picture comes to mind for me, Audie Murphy fending off a huge pack of Germans while standing atop a burning tank with a machine gun in To Hell and Back.....the movie of his own life story. It makes me think of Trump fending off the RINOS and the Media. And then there is the scene of Alvin York in the trenches of World War I Turkey shooting the Germans as portrayed by Gary Cooper. I thought of this scene during the Primaries. We have a real honest-to-goodness American in Donald J. Trump. Time we recognized this FACT!

How much do those of you who intend to vote for Clown Demagogue Trump want to bet that he hadn’t the foggiest clue that his campaign manager was in the pocket of a corrupt Putin autocrat from the Ukraine? Every sleazebag around the world sees Trump for what he is, an inexperienced knuckle headed fool, and they’re praying for the opportunity to play to his anger, his impulsiveness, his naive prejudices and his simpleton schemes.

What a mess a Trump presidency would be! My fears for the country are so significant that lately I’ve even entertained the dreaded notion of voting for Hillary to do my small part in keeping this dangerous, NON-CONSERVATIVE clown out of the White House.

Consider the alternative.

Whatever your response no matter.

The notion that would actually express the possibility of voting for Hillary tells me absolutely everything that I will ever need to know about you.

If for no other reason, this is why many stand beside him. A man who loves AMERICA, willing to do whatever it takes to see AMERICA continue to exist. Seldom do we see a man willing to place our country above himself on this stage. THIS is the reason true AMERICA loving citizens are drawn to him in droves and find themselves to be as hungry as he to celebrate and preserve all we have become. We search a lifetime for such a man. One with whom we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor. We either KEEP AMERICA or we die in trying.

“He often makes intemperate statements, and comes across as his own worst enemy during the campaign.”

STOP right there. He defeated SIXTEEN major Republican opponents in a landslide.

How is he his own worst enemy? He seems to be, no he IS his own best advocate.

Once William got that sissified drivel out, the rest of the article was pretty good. So why did William write that stuff? Does he really believe the rest of it; or was he trying to keep himself on the cocktail party A-List?

Interesting thought.My guess is he subscribes to the idea that the FIRST IMPRESSION is the lasting one. It’s what’s up front that counts, etc. etc. etc. But your question,” Why did he write that stuff” begs the question, Is the Cocktail Party Circuit the extent of his interest, or is there another agenda?
