There is SO MUCH to LOVE in Klavan's editorial!!! He puts to words what I and so many others have thought for the past 18 months or so (since Candidate Trump) and have failed to state so clearly, concisely and eloquently.

This is perhaps my favorite part:

So, when it comes to the Great Shithole Controversy of 2018, my feeling is: I do not care, not even a little. I’m sorry that it takes someone like Trump to break the spell of silence the Left is forever weaving around us. I wish a man like Ronald Reagan would come along and accomplish the same thing with more wit and grace. But that was another culture. History deals the cards it deals; we just play them. Trump is what we’ve got.

Every time I find myself wishing for a modern day Ronald Reagan who had the ability to disarm the lying liberal media of the 1980's I have to remind myself that a man like Reagan just wouldn't get elected in the unfortunate culture we live in.

Even though PDJT's tweets make me cringe at times and I think he picks fights where he doesn't need to, the truth is we do need a fighter. Fight he does, and he fights for us.

Proud to have voted for PDJT.

This is simply a form of bullying. The Left has co-opted our good manners and our good will in order to silence our opposition to their bad policies. The idea is to make it seem impolite and immoral to mention the obvious.

One more comment: Every time the left tries shutting us down, we ought to scream STOP BULLYING ME! at them. Leftist bullies ought to be labeled / branded just like the #MeToo movement. Let's start naming the marxist bullies, publicly shaming them.

This needs a coordinated media campaign to do so. I'm confident PDJT knows he's exposing the media and political bullies on a daily basis -- what he's not doing so far is BRANDING them as bullies.

He branded Hillary Clinton "Crooked Hillary" and Jeb "Low Energy Jeb" and recently "Little Dickie Durbin" for his lies about "shithole" ... it's time we also branded them as BULLIES.

The left after all, started the anti-bullying campaign so it's time to turn the tables on them isn't it? They are after all what they themselves claim to be against.

The U.K. is a sh!thole. Canada is turning into a sh!thole. Major media corporations in the U.S. are leading the Country into a sh!thole. And needless to say, Islam is a war plan.

Standing Applause!!!

“The quote I keep going back to is “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

Regarding bullying, I don’t know if he originated the term “crybully”, but he certainly embraced it early, and nailed it:

Crymobs, Crybullying, and the Left’s Whiny War on Speech

Or simply put... The Tyranny of the weak... which, in essence is a psych disorder. Thus the saying ‘Liberalism is a mental illness.’

BS...Trump is not “rude and crude”! He is very polite to everyone, esp. the people in the military and factory workers who Obama told to go pound sand. That is a lie that the left is perpetuating!

All Labs get aggressive if someone goes near their food.

Knew of one that took the eye out of a King Charles spaniel when it’s owner foolishly fed them both in the same room and the spaniel went for the Labs bowl...Lab was owned by best friend....never anymore trouble afterwards.

Doubt v much it needs special training...just never put yr hand near it’s food, when it has started eating....

Lovely dogs, but very greedy.

I knew I read that quote “he fights” from somewhere else, thanks! I did see that last summer and loved it.
