The Latest: Trump Campaign Objects to 'Deplorable' Language
New York Times ^ | Sept. 10, 2016

Posted on 09/10/2016 8:28:42 AM PDT by Rennes Templar

Donald Trump's campaign manager is objecting to Hillary Clinton's depiction of half of his supporters as a "basket of deplorables."

Clinton was speaking at an LGBT fundraiser in New York City Friday night when she described those supporters as "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it." But she stressed that the rest of the Republican nominee's supporters are people who feel let down by the government and the economy and are "just desperate for change," and said those people need sympathy.

Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway quickly responded on Twitter, writing, "One day after promising to be aspirational & uplifting, Hillary insults millions of Americans."

Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill tweeted that Clinton was referring to "alt-right" voters who "appear to make up half his crowd."

She's getting desperate. It's a good sign of the future.

A sure sign of desperation on the part of Hillary and a REMINDER that she is TOAST.

Since homosexuals represent somewhere between only .5 - 1.5% of the total population [Google], I think that Shillary’s wooing of them is specious, misleading in appearance and especially misleadingly attractive.

If she were to win, the deplorables would become the deportables.

Millions of American citizens who have been educated in the principles and ideas which caused America to be the symbol of freedom and opportunity for oppressed people and are now supporting Trump for President. They now are labeled and "compartmentalized" (Clinton) by another desperate candidate as "the deplorables."

How revolting and un-American that such a person should present himself/herself as worthy of being their President!

Please review the following story and words of a Democrat from an earlier time in America's history.

Would Hillary call him a "deplorable"?

The American's Creed


"I believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people by the people, for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a Republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable; established upon those principls of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.

I therefore believe it is my duty to my Country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies."

Historical Notes: The American's Creed was a result of a nationwide contest for writing a National Creed, which would be a brief summary of the American political faith founded upon things fundamental in American history and tradition. The contest was the idea of Henry Sterling Chapin, Commissioner of Education of New York State. Over three thousand entries were received, and William Tyler Page was declared to be the winner. James H. Preston, the mayor of Baltimore, presented an award to Page in the House of Representatives Office Building on April 3, 1918. The Speaker of the House of Representatives and the commissioner of education of the state of New York accepted the Creed for the United States, and the proceedings relating to the award were printed in the Congressional Record of April 13, 1918. It was a time when patriotic sentiments were very much in vogue. The United States had been a participant in World War I only a little over a year at the time the Creed was adopted.

The author of the American's Creed, William Tyler Page, was a descendant of John Page, who had come to America in 1650 and had settled in Williamsburg, Virginia. Another ancestor, Carter Braxton , had signed the Declaration of Independence. Still another ancestor, John Tyler, was the tenth president of the United States. William Tyler Page had come to Washington at the age of thirteen to serve as a Capitol Page. Later he became an employee of the Capitol building and served in that capacity for almost sixty-one years. In 1919 he was elected clerk of the House. Thirteen years later, when the Democrats again became a majority party, they created for Page the office of minority clerk of the House of Representatives. He held this position for the remainder of his life.

Referring to the Creed, Page said: "It is the summary of the fundamental principles of the American political faith as set forth in its greatest documents, its worthiest traditions, and its greatest leaders." His wording of the Creed used passages and phrases from the Declaration of Independence, the Preamble to the Constitution, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, and Daniel Webster's reply to Robert Y. Hayne in the Senate in 1830.

You Naughty You

Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you
You adorable, deplorable you

Just one look at you
My heart grew tipsy in me
You and you alone
Bring out the Gypsy in me

I love all the many charms about you
Above all, I want these arms about you

Don’t be a naughty baby
Come to papa, come to papa do
My sweet embraceable you
You adorable, deplorable you

No difference—clearly their definition of the alt-right is one and the same.

The NY Slimes is deplorable. Hillary Clinton is deplorable. Barack Obola is deplorable.

I have yet to meet any Trump supporter who is deplorable.

So a Trump supporter is either (a) deplorable, or (b) someone who needs sympathy. What an elitist.

Hey, wait a minute. I was about to take that term of “deplorable” and wear it as a badge of honor. Herself, in the spirit of things. often gets things 180 degrees wrong, so it was a kind of “opposites” in what Herself says.

Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it.

No, The Donald is none of these things, and repeating it over and over in no way alters the fact that this is calumny, an untrue statement that is made to damage someone’s reputation. While many of The Donald’s followers may have personality quirks of their own, most of them are functioning members of society and generally non-felons, not known for sudden bursts of inappropriate behavior.

I can only speak for myself, of course, but I do not believe I am any of those pejoratives, either. I do not have “phobia” about Islam, it is a good solid thoroughly reasonable and justified wariness. As for people of uncertain or non-traditional sexual orientation, I do not hold your beliefs in contempt, only inappropriate expressions in a public venue. Private is to be kept private.

Bigotry is to make these simplistic assumptions about anyone who is NOT in love with the idea of Herself as president. Some day, yes, there will be a person of the Oval Office, but Herself is a pretty poor selection for that honor. The Democrats HAVE to have a better bench than that.
