VANITY: Why do the losers keep trying to tell the winners how to run the country? Please explain...

In America a loser has to be determined to remain a loser.

There are plenty of outside forces to influence a person not to be a loser with examples of success - family, friends, public figures, etc.

To remain a loser, the loser needs to ignore success by insisting their bad ideas are better. Otherwise they would pickup on success.

Therefor a real loser will always be this way.

The left needs to get off its “high horse” and find its security in one that’s not stoned.

What? I didn’t write that.

If two military units go to battle, the losers do not tell the winners how they want to be treated.

I added the PLOstinians...

Because they are mindless, crybaby, inherent losers of a freak show

Just look at them. What a mess. How anyone could be a Demonrat today just befuddles me. My wife and I watch the news and just shake our heads in disbelief of the juvenile antics and pouting of these losers. They are a disgrace to the Nation and anyone who votes for them is equally disgraceful

Because they have everyone trained to believe them.

The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing.

The man whom we believe is necessarily, in the things concerning which we believe him, our leader and director, and we look up to him with a certain degree of esteem and respect. But as from admiring other people we come to wish to be admired ourselves; so from being led and directed by other people we learn to wish to become ourselves leaders and directors . . .

The desire of being believed, the desire of persuading, of leading and directing other people, seems to be one of the strongest of all our natural desires. - Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)

A great rhetorical inquiry. Thanks for posting.

Here’s another question: Why is it fine for John Lewis to insult the president elect and half the country’s voters, but a criminal act to respond in kind?

Yes, it’s a rhetorical question.

They know one of the reasons Hillary lost, is because she underestimated the amount of fraud she needed to have to win, and she most certainly missed the mood of the country, entirely.

You know what...you are exactly right. They cheated alright, but not enough.

Because, like a spoiled child, they have learned if they keep on screaming someone gives in.

Once in a while my kids would think that a tantrum might work, usually because they saw it work for some other kid in the grocery store. It never worked. Never. What they learned was that Dad was in charge and he loved them very much.

Babylonian transgenderism

I like that phrase. Great! Ha ha ha ahahahahaa.

[super7man]

Well said.

Just like when the Left expresses their opinion on what Republicans should do, like they are concerned for the GOP! HEH HEH

If the LIB lunatics accepted their mental illness they would off their selves. They must remain delusional or they will mass suicide.

Thanks

I owe it all to my many years on FreeRepublic

I have learned so much from the other Freepers and learned how to write cogently from reading and writing post and replies here.
