You know what the Democrats did? They threw a fit that burned down most of the Country in a little event called "The Civil War"
They would have this country burn if they could be Kings of the Ashes.
Let’s see if Uri Friedman is singing the same tune when The Donald is in the White House.
‘Show me a good loser, and I’ll show you a loser!’
Come back to this headline after Trump wins and leftists riots.
The excuse making will be extraordinary. They’ll, of course, blame Trump and say it’s the duty of a leftist to express outrage.
As has no doubt been pointed out, Donald Trump signed the pledge. The losers did to, but many of them did not honor their pledge. With the Democrats already fire bombing GOP sites, why should we expect more from them after Donald Trump wins the General Election?
Astounding.
Coming from a party whose philosophy is “when we win, lwe win, when we lose, we win.”
Coming from the party of “pen and phone” used to nullify mid-term election results that they don’t like.
Coming from a President who stood at a podium and declared that the last mid-term election really didn’t count because the turn out want as high as he wanted or, in other words, the only election that counts is the last one where they prevailed.
Coming from a party that declared Bush’s entire presidency illegitimate because of their Florida 2000 urban legend.
Coming from the party of Harry Reid who shut the Senate down the entire time he ran it.
Coming from a party that just got caught, red handed, on video, revealing their voter fraud scheme.
Coming from a party that has been caught red handed colluding with and coercing a compliant media that is no more than a propaganda wing.
Finally, coming from a party that actually got caught, red handed, rigging it’s primary election.
But you aren’t allowed to think or say the system is rigged. Our betters in the media and the elite want us to get our minds straight. Ignore that reality and turn on your inner Orwellian exercise.
Based on their behavior so far, Trump’s supporters have been much more orderly and law abiding than Democratic voters, so why should we expect anything different if Trump loses?
“Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
- Declaration of Independence
The Federal Government no longer has my consent. They may have my obedience in the same way that an armed robber threatening overwhelming force can obtain temporary compliance, but they have no legitimacy. I owe them nothing beyond the specific actions that they can compel me to take, and that only when they threaten or use force. They are operating far outside the enumerated powers and far outside the Bill of Rights. To put it mildly, they are not on our side.
If we have a hitlery dictatorship there are 3 choices for patriots:
1. Secession. Primarily a regional state issue. State leaders would need local support (or foreign aid?).
2. Military coup- the military would need to see public support.
3. If #1, #2 not successful, emigrate.
We probably only have a few years to accomplish one of above. Riding out the tyranny won’t be an option unless you want to spend your remaining life in a FEMA camp or a CMU.
As a student in gradeschool (yes, I know this will reveal my era) I learned that we are a Republic, with democratically elected representatives and protected by the Bill of Rights, the Rights of Man and the Constitution which limits the power of government.
So, either this author is absolutely clueless or he is ,as I mentioned, a propagandist. I suspect the latter.
He does refer to a 'republic' as mentioned by Trump, who seems to be the only one who understands the words true meaning, probably from his oversight in his editing attempt. He only uses this word once in the entire article.
Using the word 'democracy' to describe our form of government always irks me. Not just a pet peeve but an attack on our country's very founding and future.
The following information is from Wikipedia under 'History of Democracy'...
The United States of America was and is, a republic, not a direct democracy. A direct democracy can be defined as a form of government in which the people decide matters directly, with prime example the Athenian democracy. A democratic republic, is a form of government in which supreme power resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives responsible to them and governing according to law. The delegates who wrote the Constitution were fearful of direct democracy; in the words of James Madison: "Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention: have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property: and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths." Nevertheless, the framers recognized that the public is required to impose a check to the government, in Madison words: "dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government". By popular usage, however, the word "democracy" came to mean a form of government in which the government derives its power from the people and is accountable to them for the use of that power. In this sense the United States can be called a democratic republic. Many states allow for policy questions to be decided directly by the people by voting on ballot initiatives or referendums. (Initiatives originate with, or are initiated by, the people while referendums originate with, or are referred to the people by a state's legislative body.)
Sure.
Just ask Al Gore (gracious loser).
Wrong. It depends on confidence in the honesty of the results. If the vote is fair and accurate, then people who agree in self-rule can accept the result. If they don’t, if one side uses illegals, votes for those who don’t show up and creates phony ballots, and does it so much that it makes the difference in important states, then the result is not worthy of being respected by the losing side, and that leads to people wanting to get their views heard in other ways. Voter fraud is the biggest attack on our form of government there can be, and should be treated accordingly—with lengthy prison terms for even one fraudulent ballot. Unfortunately, it is a crime that is never prosecuted, unless you are Dinesh D’Souza.
