This Thanksgiving, I’m grateful Hillary Clinton is not president
The Washington Post ^ | November 22, 2017 | Marc A. Thiessen

Posted on 11/22/2017 9:09:58 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

This Thanksgiving, I am grateful for many things — but when it comes to politics, I am especially thankful that Hillary Clinton is not sitting in the Oval Office.

I am thankful that Neil M. Gorsuch is on the Supreme Court and that President Trump has secured a conservative majority that will protect human life, religious liberty, the Second Amendment and limited government. I am also thankful the president is moving at record pace to fill the federal appeals courts with young conservative judges. While the Supreme Court only hears about 80 cases a year, the federal appeals courts get final say on about 60,000 — and because Democrats ended the filibuster, they can’t stop Trump from filling those courts with conservative legal rock stars. The Senate has already confirmed eight of Trump’s nine appellate nominees — the most this early in a presidency since Richard Nixon – and Trump will appoint plenty more before his first term expires. As former Clinton adviser Ronald A. Klain complained in The Post, “the next two generations of Americans will live under laws interpreted by hundreds of [Trump-appointed] judges.”

That alone is worth it. But there is more to be thankful for.....

Evil often lives a long time, and in the process, makes life miserable for those around them. Soros, Hillary, Manson (lived over 48 years after the murder of Sharon Tate).

We have a better version here called Central Market owned by HEB.

Charles Butt (the "B" in HEB) is an open-borders, sanctuary city supporter with tons of political clout in Austin. Do not put money in his pocket if you can avoid it.

I’m very thankful for that.

I’m also thankful that Bernie Sanders or Yeb! or Kasich is not President. Or Rubio or Ted Cruz for that matter.

Democrats in particular, and the GOPe -their sidekicks - want to turn this country into a politically-correct Third World Hellhole. They’ve proven over and over that they’d rather rule in a Forever-Hell than serve the great country passed down to them.

The greatest Thanksgiving must wait for the future day when there no longer is a Democrat or Republican Party.

I’m also not sure anyone, even our dear Democrats, have ever called for “pure democracy.”

Didn't Hillary call for throwing out the Electoral College and going for the pure democracy of the public vote ?

That would be still a lie, as long as the vote was hectored up (if not also defrauded up) and wasn’t a mandatory plebiscite.

“How did this get into the WAPO?”

Marc A. Thiessen is a conservative — a regular pundit on FNC. He must be a WaPo staffer.

When the Democrats push the One Man, One Vote meme while doing everything in their power to stop Voter Fraud, they certainly are pushing Direct Democracy.

Hillary just blamed her loss on a State that requires Voter ID, arguing that Minorities were unable to Vote because of it. They will never abandon that ridiculous argument.

Tagline...

They are CLAIMING to do that, which is what makes it SOUND so wonderful.

But always always look behind the curtain, just as we do to see that secular liberals are illiberal.

The only way to really do that would be through a mandatory plebiscite, a non-voluntary vote.

America’s character is such that this would lean mildly conservative. The Democrats would never want that; it would mean a much greater beachhead for the GOP.

I too rejoice that Hillary is not POTUS. I still have some small hope that the Clintons will finally be held accountable for their many crimes. Perhaps like Al Capone they will not be taken down for the major things they have done, but be caught by the IRS for all their sleazy dealings with the phony Clinton Foundation.

Is Thiessen a former Never-Trumper? Goodness even Bernie Bots voted for Trump quicker than some of these so-called conservatives. But whatever, you see the light when you see the light...

Is a mandatory plebiscite the same thing as a haggard lesbian ?
