Code Trump: The Gallop Leftward Continues

American Thinker ^ | 2/15/16 | C. Edmund Wright

[TBBT]

Donald Trump is now officially the Code Pink Republican. Or maybe he's the Daily Kos or Huffington Post Republican. How about the Debbie Wasserman Schultz Republican? I think that fits. Heck, we all saw it and we all heard it. Trump went full left loon on George W. Bush and 9/11, sounding like the most impassioned truther from the left. Did Maxine Waters do his debate prep?

Trump snarked childishly that Bush did not keep us safe on 9/11. Apparently Mr. Trump is not intellectually very curious about history. If he were, he would know that 9/11 was dreamed up, contemplated, financed, planned, and practiced on Bill Clinton's watch. This planning and practicing continued during the days of the hanging chads in Florida.

This is not to defend George W. Bush and his neocon nation-building fantasies and his capitulation to unions regarding the TSA and so on. I've been critical of Bush and Karl Rove since 2001 on these and many other issues.

But the truth matters.

And the truth is that the single biggest failure by the American intelligence community was foisted onto the CIA and the FBI by Clinton appointee Jamie Gorelick with her infamous "wall of separation" between the two agencies. They had their hands tied behind their backs -- thanks to a Clinton appointee.

I understand.... when I was about 17 there was something happened at work or someplace that was just so unfair. I was ranting about how unfair it was and how life shouldn't be like that, and how I was cheated... yada yada. My father sat me down and said that most people who spend their lives complaining about what's wrong with "the world".... never amount to anything. Obviously some do, but most don't. He said successful people evaluate how things are, and then work hard to be successful while keeping in mind how things are.

Some people are born to change things. They are few and far between. Most of us, if we work hard, understand "how things are", and are smart enough to work within that, can be successful.

If we're born with not enough brains to do that, there is a good chance we shouldn't be voting. Our governmental system has the ability for the ----without's/brain dead/idiots/lazy/lowlife/losers ----- to acquire enough votes to just steal from the hard working people.

Hillary Clinton tells people it is racism, sexism, homophobism, republicans, 1 percentes, systematic discrimination etc that causes people to be losers. Sarah Palin tells her listeners that is because we can't get the government off our backs. At the end of the day, both have a similar message. It's someone elses fault when we fail. That's the message. Trumpy has tapped into that..... in my opinion. It's obammy, it's the stupid people running this country, it's the bad trade deals, it's unfair taxes, it's something besides us.

Lol, a noob trumpbot who just hit his 1 year anniversary sitting in judgement over veteran FReepers!

Who you calling a "trumpbot", noobie?

Judge not, lest ye be judged, Boogieman. ;-)

[kiryandil]

You DO understand that I'm a dedicated Trump supporter, don't you?

And that I'm going to vote for him as hard as I can?

>> It’s amazing how mesmerized he has his base <<

I’m tempted to say it’s straight out of Mussolini’s playbook. But I won’t say that, because it wouldn’t be nice.

Reposting something you obviously failed to understand.
We are voting for Trump because he is the ONLY CHANCE to get our Liberties back! WE understand what has to be done for our economy to function to America’s benefit. Cruz wants to be a lifetime politician, so do all the others. Trump is NOT a politician and will set this country back on course using the Constitution which has been ignored by Obama.

[Mollypitcher1]

Reposted your excellent post, sorry it didn’t catch on the first post.

[kjam22]

I sure do.... that’s one of those things I can’t change... but I work within how things are... :)

[kiryandil]

You're not one of the totally obnoxious Cruz posters, so you have that going for you. :)

You guys need to thin out your herd of zealots and paid CruzPostBots. A lot of Trump supporters also support Ted Cruz. Or used to...

[kiryandil]

No need to up the vitriol level. I get that passions are high right now.

Go Trump!

[Reagan Disciple]

Nice list. How many of those was he for when he was a registered Democrat? Or with the Reform Party? Or as an Independent?

These are all over the place and he was on the opposite side promoting most of these at some point.

The Ying.....
“Says no funds for Planned Parenthood, while they do abortions.”

The Yang....
Trump then added; "that there are wonderful things having to do with women's health; when it comes to Planned Parenthood, but not when it comes to abortion."

Can't be a little pregnant. Give up principles for short term safety? Not while there's a true Conservative in the race.

[kjam22]

Yep... I understand. If you went back far enough reading my posts... you’d see that I went to see Trump in OKC. Posted pictures... I was very much in his camp. I’m not anymore. Sounds like we went different directions.

[DannyTN]

Thanks, I think I first posted that probably back in August. Even Jim Robinson once told me to consider it stolen. I repost it every once in a while when people try to claim Trump is a liberal.

[kiryandil]

Trump is talking to ALL the voters, RD - not just you.

[altura]

Our candidate carries a copy of the constitution with him on the Senate floor.

If you think he’s a Canadian get your idol to file that lawsuit he keeps threatening.

[altura]

If I were in the playground with you, I would say, “make me.”

Fortunately, I’m not.

[altura]

I hope you had that list ready to cut and paste.

All that trouble for nothing.

[altura]

Apparently you are way into bashing Hawaii.

Is that a Trump thing.

I went to my Episcopal church in Texas for lo those many years. We never had an American flag or sang The Star Spangled Banner.

My Episcopal Church here... Church by the Sea ... an outdoors church.. always flies the American flag right over the Hawaiian flag.

And on Flag Day we sang The Star Spangled Banner.

Hawaii loves our country.

[Mollypitcher1]

Oh really? HOW about the FACT that Trump has donated as much if not more to Republicans as to Democrats? How about the FACT that he is the only one equipped with the knowledge to turn this country around economically. How about the fact that Trump wants us to rebuild our military, something Reagan had to do and so did Bush after the destruction of the dems.
As far as “all over the place” regarding his party affiliation, I was a Democrat until Clinton when I changed to Republican. HOWEVER, I never voted for a Democrat President EVER! I worked on Eisenhower’s re election and have always supported Republicans, just never got around to changing my registration until Clinton made me so angry that I did. I don’t happen to believe in “LABELS” and find that the Conservative label can be just as misleading as any other. Observing many of the so called conservatives nit picking excuses for supporting Cruz is a good example. The MAJOR ISSUES now in this country all turn around preserving American Sovereignty. That is the issue that will keep us Americans,o r lose our sovereignty and become just another cog in the New World Order. CRUZ IS A NWO believer. He lies about it but he made TPP possible. He supported by tricky means the Iran Deal. He lies and continues to lie and all you purists call him the best thing since sliced bread. Wake up!

[Mollypitcher1]

Vitriol? Hardly!

[Mollypitcher1]

Thanks so much. I had not seen it before, but think you should post it often. Some of the Cruz supporters need lessons in analyses. The list does a lot in that direction.
