Watching the liberal meltdown over Donald Trump's election
Chicago Tribune ^ | 11/16/2016 | John Kass

Posted on 11/22/2016 9:45:42 AM PST by simpson96

The liberal Democratic meltdown continues: the whining, the weeping, the blaming of Hillary Clinton, the gnashing of teeth and those heartbreaking, sighing questions about whether life is worth living anymore.

And that's not just in America's newsrooms, either, but in many other places too.

Outside newsrooms, half the country is in political mourning, the other half is still relishing the election.

And if they don't relish the elevation of Donald Trump to the presidency exactly, they're at least celebrating those videos shared on social media, of precious TV talking heads and pundits laughing hysterically while mocking the "uneducated" and the "deplorables" who didn't have the wits to deny Hillary her Restoration.

But they did, and it's over. So what to look at now?

•Democrats pushing for an end to the Electoral College, reminding me of the story of those two wolves and the lamb voting on what's for dinner.

•The fight over whether Clinton should be charged with a crime, and if she is, should she expect a pardon?

•And what about those safety pins?

The safety pins are becoming symbols of solidarity for the young on the left who oppose Trump. And they're quite the fashion accessory. But don't criticize the kids. I've realized that those who criticize the young anti-Trump protesters are just as blind as liberal pundits, unable to see through their partisanship.

The anti-Trump protests aren't exactly spontaneous, are they? They're organized, perhaps with George Soros' cash. But here's the thing. The protests allow the hard left to send a message to Democrats:

Don't stray. We're here, on the left. We're watching you.

My only complaints are those primal scream parties on campus and students who asked for postelection counseling. These are the signs of weak children born to a diseased establishment that's been overturned. In

Can we dispense already with the misnomer “Liberal” and start calling them what they actually are: “Leftists”?

I’ve never been more disappointed in a generation, but these kids are losers.

You get the impression her parents never said “no” to her? She seems to think getting everything her way is a right.

How about global communism and socialism, that’s what it really is and guess JFK’s speech “ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country” would be devastating to this generation of “snow flakes”

JFK and the Left hadn’t reach political globalism yet. It’s all a Leftist, totalitarian continuum.

The dirty little secret is that this election was a complete repudiation of Barack Hussein Obama and his entire marxist party.

Eight painful years of trashing America, our culture, and our liberty. He used a softer tone than Rev. Jeremiah Wright, but far exceeded the vile Rev’s hatred for this nation.

Guess what, bitch?

You don't have a right to kill a baby.

You don't have a right to redefine "marriage".

You don't have a right to a physician's services.

You don't have a right to a professor's services.

You don't have a right to a guaranteed income.

You don't have a right to speak from someone else's platform.

You don't have a right to an audience.

Nobody on the "right" is taking away your rights, Precious. Your friends on the left monopolize that crime.

I wish the government would stop forcing us to feed, clothe, and shelter these animals; many come from families that have never been issued a W-2 - EVER.

John Kass has a profound insight here... the 'messages' aren't for us, or for the press, they're for the Democrat Party. That's worth thinking about...

There are TWO rights the LEFTISTS subscribe to above all else...

1)Their RIGHT to kill a baby up until and even outside of the womb, preferably having that RIGHT paid for by tax payers to include under all circumstances the Christians,

and

2) The RIGHT to criticize in the most offensive manner the right of those that they disagree with, with the sole purpose of SHUTTING US UP.
