The Deplorables
Original Material | 9/10/2016 | By Laz A. Mataz

Posted on 09/10/2016 8:12:44 AM PDT by Lazamataz

On September 9th, at a Democrat fundraiser in New York City, Hillary Clinton labeled half of Donald Trump's supporters as a "basket of deplorables" made up of "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic" people. Many opinion and news commenters have called it Hillary's "47% Moment", likening her comments to Mitt Romney's comment that 47% of the population would never vote for him. They express distaste for her comments and reject her premises and conclusion.

I would like to take a different tack: I feel we should embrace her comments, and wear them with pride.

The German Kaiser Wilhem II called the British Expeditionary Force a "contemptible little army" that the Germans should "exterminate" and "walk over". Rather than being offended, the BEF instead embraced the insult, giving themselves the nickname "The Old Contemptibles". This is brilliance, and we should emulate it.

We should nickname ourselves "The Deplorables".

To answer, point by point, Hillary's specific charges:

We are The Deplorables. Let us embrace the label, and wear it proudly!

WE ARE THE DEPLORABLES!

Oh, man!! That utterly ROCKS! Excellent re-write of Mssrs. Gilbert & Sullivan (who I think would smile upon your efforts).

She needs to be in a basket, and taken to the infirmary.

Hillary the basket case.

I always hope for a coughing fit and head-snapping, eye-twirling seizure for her when she is doing any public speaking, during a debate would be great timing.

Bitter Clinging Deplorables, Unite!!!

Trump’s New Deplorable Basketeers!

What’s the new container
As deplorable can be?

Woven out of wicker
But wicked we will not be —
T-R-U-, M-P B, -A-S-K-E-T!
Basket of, deplorables,
Together we will hold our banner high!
(High! High! High!)
What will drive out the witch
We know as Hillary?
T-R-U-, M-P B, -A-S-K-E-T!

WE ARE THE DEPLORABLES!

Hillary's SS provided these rules which must be followed at all times.

" Deplorable Criminals - those who object to a corrupt DOJ and FBI will be marked with green inverted triangles worn on all clothing at all times.

Political prisoners (deplorables who speak against democrats) with red triangles.

"Asocials" (including rednecks, middle class men, nonconformists, vagrants, and other groups) with black triangles or—in the case of deplorables middle class families with camps—brown triangles.

Heterosexuals will be identified with black triangles and Christians with purple ones.

Those NOT wearing the proper identification will be arrested and sent to camps. : https://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005378

Hands off my heaven
It’s easy if you try
No, Hill, below us:
Above us only sky;
Imagine all the people
Living that today...

Ah -—

Hands off my country
It isn’t hard to do
Some things you kill or die for
Know religion too;
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You -—

You may say I’m deplorable
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

.

Hands off my possessions
I wonder if you can.
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man;
Imagine all the people
Taking what they make ...

You -—

You may say I’m deplorable
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one.

Anyone know the hour and minute that she (the progressive bitch) said this? I want to know the EXACT time her Presidential aspirations hit the wall at Mach 3.

On re-reading it after I posted that song above —

Might be better to replace the word “deplorable” in the second chorus with “no ‘Dreamer’. “
