On Tuesday, at the voting booth, America took a hard turn in the Republican direction.
In race after race and state after state, the big winners at the ballot box were Republican candidates and Republican principles.
I know why.
Itâs because the Democrat brand sucks.
Itâs because Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and any number of their hangers on have turned their party into something hostile to the beliefs and lives of an increasing number of Americans.
Let me give you some examples.
The Democrat Party is the party of people who hate the cops.
If you think cops are racist thugs roaming around looking for black people to kill, the Democratic Party is for you. The president has just finished up a week of speechifying dedicated specifically to âpolice-community relations.â
Thatâs Democratspeak for âwe hate the police.â
If your first impulse upon seeing a police officer is to spit on him and pull out your phone to record his response, then the Democrat Party is for you.
The Democrat Party is the party of people who love criminals.
Obama just turned loose 6,000 drug dealers, right? And he just spent another week speechifying about how America needs to be nicer to people in jail.
Didnât he just create new education and housing benefits for convicted felons? Isnât the Democratic Party banging the drum for âalternatives to incarceration?â Isnât the Democratic Party talking about some racist âschool to prison pipelineâ that herds people to the penitentiary?
If you think the crooks behind bars are victims of society, instead of predators on society, then the Democrat Party is for you.
The Democrat Party is the party of people who think borders are meaningless.
The Democrat Party is behind the âamnesty cityâ movement that gives shelter to foreign criminals and ignores domestic laws. It is Democrats who talk about the rights of anyone anywhere to come here and, more often than not, pick up a welfare card.
If you think that everyone else has a right to your country and its bounty, then the Democrat Party is for you.
The Democrat Party is the party of people who think a boy who says he's a girl should be allowed to shower with girls who really are girls.
The day before the election, the Obama Administration threatened legal action against a high school that asked a boy who calls himself a girl to change behind a curtain in the girls locker room as he gets ready to play on a girls team. The Democrats said the curtain had to come down and the boy had to see the naked girls and the girls had to see the naked boy, or it was a violation of his-her rights.
If you think gender is a social construct between the ears instead of a physical reality between the legs, then the Democrat Party is for you.
The Democrat Party is the party of people who think Iran should have a nuke.
With Americans opposed more than 2-to-1, Barack Obama and the Democrats in Congress rammed through an agreement that puts âDeath to Americaâ Iran 10 years away from unfettered development of nuclear weapons.
Iran gets to trade in weapons and missiles seven years from now, and all constraints on its nuke program come off three years after that.
And either Times Square or Tel Aviv blow up shortly after that.
If you are OK with that, then the Democrat Party is the party for you.
The Democrat Party is the party of people who donât like white people.
If the in-your-face racial bigotry of #BlackLivesMatter makes sense to you, then youâll be happy to know that every Democrat politician close to a microphone agrees with you.
The Democratic Party has become the haven of people whose motivating force is antipathy toward whites. No one will say that out loud, but everyone realizes it â and the Democrats profit from it. Without the votes of angry minorities, Democrats seldom win elections. So the key to Democrat survival and success is keeping minorities angry. To that end, the Democrats preach victimhood, entitlement and chip-on-the-shoulder cultural antagonism toward whites.
If you think white privilege and institutional racism are ruining America, the Democrat Party is for you.
The Democrat Party is the party of people who resent and are jealous of success.
In the policies and priorities of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, successful people are punished and dysfunctional people are rewarded.
If you make wise choices, get an education and work hard, and end up making more money as a result, the Democrats vilify you and take your money. If you make poor choices, drop out of school, and sit on your ass, and end up making less money as a result, the Democrats champion you and give you other peopleâs money â and count you as their core constituency.
If you believe in hating the other fellow because of his success, instead of working harder to get your own success, then the Democrat Party is for you.
The Democrat Party is for people who think America and its history are bad.
If you think Columbus committed genocide and Washington was primarily a slave owner, and that Americaâs westward expansion was racist, then you will like the Democrat Party.
It is the Democrats who seem to believe American history began when some jerk tried to kick Rosa Parks out of her seat. If the Founders are enemies and America is bad, if this country is imperialistic and our foreign dealings are sinister â if patriotism is a bad thing â then the Democrat Party is for you.
The Democrat Party is for people who think the American people are bad.
If you believe the American lifestyle is the root of the worldâs problems, you will really like listening to Democrat speeches about global warming. If you think your neighbors are too fat, if they should give up their cars and have their roads ripped up to make bicycle boulevards, if they should do without air conditioning and carbon-producing electricity, if they should stop eating meat and using plastics and having children, then the Democrat Party is for you.
The Democrat Party is for people who think God is a joke.
Statistics show that if you and your family have no religious faith or practice, and if you openly mock those who do, then the Democrat Party is for you.
The Democrat Party is for people who think the U.S. military is a bad thing.
Beyond cutting personnel and programs, and enhancing the rights of gays and transgenders, and pushing troops into repeated deployments in an increasing number of conflicts, the Obama administration hasnât had much to do with the military. It is something he and his Starbucks cup salute absentmindedly as he passes.
Whenever military recruiters have been pushed out of schools or campuses, it has been Democrats doing the pushing. Just like it was Democrats doing the bashing on the Boy Scouts over whatever it was they were bashing the Boy Scouts over.
If you see an American in uniform, and you donât know that youâre looking at one of the good guys, then the Democrat Party is for you.
And America knows that.
Which is why, on Tuesday at the ballot box, America voted Republican.
bttt
I think it was around 50/50. We lost some good races in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Northern Virginia, and Colorado at least. We did well but not bragging rights. We did much better in 2010 and 2014.
As Mark Levin astutely pointed out last evening, it means NOTHING because at this point Fed power trumps anything at the state and local level, and Obama is still ruling unimpeded with his phone and his pen.
Except in Pennsylvania, where Philly and Pittsburgh elected three Rat supreme court justices.
The difference is that republicans gained power where they had none before whereas democrats merely held on to the power they had before.
That’s the difference.
Oh ok. Thank you.
It will take some states to play "chicken" with Federal judges, and that will be no mean feat, but without it the only other option will be uncivil disobedience, and while that may or may not end well, it would also end with blood in the streets.
And with a known liar and not yet convicted felon, hillary will secure 47% of the vote without trying
Those Americans suck.
In truth our Constitution is NOT defended by the government, it is defended by we the people. Our 1% “owners” and their corporate media toadies understand this and seek to keep us all divided by race, ethnicity, religion, class... whatever works! But when despots, be they judges or presidents disregard the founding principles of our country, it is not only our right but our responsibility to remove them from power! Such was the prime reason for the 2nd Amendment!
Well said.
They will never stop, they will never sit down. It really is a spiritual fight, it is so clear to so many. The children of darkness are more committed than the children of light.
...... I refuse to have any liberal in my circle of acquaintances. I can’t stomach them.
**********************************************
You are not alone. I’ve “cleaned house” in the last two years .... the God-less, social justice warriors, enviro-whackos, anti-military/police, big government-fix-for-everything, gun grabbers, socialist/communists, take-your-liberty-away, Obamabot, politically correct, everything is racist or a ‘trigger’, climate-change-will-kill-us-all, totally deluded types. Life is too short to have to deal with them ... miserable people .... life is too short to spend time on/with them.
This is one of the best statements of what Democrats are that I have seen, congratulations for stating it so well.
I too have decided to not associate any more than I have to with these evil idiots. On those occasions that I have to associate with them I try to make statements to show how weak and idiotic their positions are, it isn’t difficult for those willing to listen but most won’t listen.
Facts just don’t mean much to those who listen to evil that is rampant in our world.
As far as the homosexual agenda I really believe it is driven by pure evil. That is not to say every queer is evil, it is possible I suppose that some people have a natural attraction for the same sex that I just can’t fathom but those who push it on the rest of us are pure evil. We should never budge or give in to the evil homosexual agenda. The clerk in Kentucky, my state, that refused to sign the marriage license for a same sex couple even though she was a Democrat (since changed to Republican) refused to compromise, that is what we should all do, refuse to compromise. Any elected leader we have that disagrees needs to be turned out.
People are not voting Republican, but conservatism.
This type of thinking is what is wrong with the GOPe, thinking they have all the ideas.
Well, they are wrong.
To say the republiCrats did well is saying NOTHING of tangible value, the REAL questions is how did Conservatives do?
“In truth our Constitution is NOT defended by the government, it is defended by we the people.”
A brilliant sentence which says something so simple and obvious that most people cannot understand it. The constitution is supposed to defend the people from the government and that requires that the people defend the constitution from the government, naturally the government cannot be expected to defend the constitution, the government will not even admit that the constitution says what it plainly says, they make up absurd new meanings and then tell us that we lack the legal background to understand what it really says. How did that story about the emperor’s new clothes go again?
