Bloody Brilliant Explanation of why we needed Trump

"My Leftist friends constantly ask me if I’m not bothered by Donald Trump’s
lack of decorum. They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity
of the office.” Here’s my answer: We Right-thinking people have tried dignity.

We tried statesmanship. We tried propriety. And the results were always the same.
This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality and
propriety, the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where
the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob. I don’t find anything
“dignified,” “collegial” or “proper” about Barack Obama’s lying about what went
down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds because
racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party.

I don’t see anything “dignified” in lying about the deaths of four Americans in
Benghazi and imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your tracks.

I don’t see anything “statesman-like” in weaponizing the IRS to be used to
destroy your political opponents and any dissent.

Yes, Obama was “articulate” and “polished” but in no way was he in the least
bit “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper.”

The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children
of the ‘60s. To them, it has been an all-out war where nothing is held sacred and
nothing is seen as beyond the pale.. It has been a war they’ve fought with violence,
the threat of violence, demagoguery and lies from day one – the violent take-over
of the universities – till today.

The problem is that, through these years, the Left has been the only side fighting this war.
While the Left has been taking a knife to anyone who stands in their way, the Right
has continued to act with dignity, collegiality and propriety.

With Donald Trump, this all has come to an end. Donald Trump is America ’s first
wartime president in the Culture War.

During wartime, things like “dignity” and “collegiality” simply aren’t the most
essential qualities one looks for in their warriors. Ulysses Grant was a drunk
whose behavior in peacetime might well have seen him drummed out of the
Army for conduct unbecoming.

Had Abraham Lincoln applied the peacetime rules of propriety and booted Grant,
the Democrats might well still be holding their slaves today.

Lincoln rightly recognized that, “I cannot spare this man. He fights.”

General George Patton was a vulgar-talking.. In peacetime, this might have
seen him stripped of rank. But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied the normal rules
of decorum then, Hitler and the Socialists would barely be five decades into
their thousand-year Reich.

Trump is fighting. And what’s particularly delicious is that, like Patton standing
over the battlefield as his tanks obliterated Rommel’s, he’s shouting,
“You magnificent bastards, I read your book!”

That is just the icing on the cake, but it’s wonderful to see that not only is Trump fighting,
he’s defeating the Left using their own tactics. That book is Saul Alinsky’s Rules
for Radicals – a book so essential to the Liberals’ war against America that it is and
was the playbook for the entire Obama administration and the subject of Hillary Clinton’s
senior thesis.

It is a book of such pure evil, that, just as the rest of us would dedicate our book to
those we most love or those to whom we are most indebted, Alinsky dedicated his
book to Lucifer.

Trump’s tweets may seem rash and unconsidered but, in reality, he is doing exactly
what Alinsky suggested his followers do. First, instead of going after “the fake media”
— and they are so fake that they have literally gotten every single significant story
of the past 60 years not just wrong, but diametrically opposed to the truth, from the
Tet Offensive to Benghazi, to what really happened on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri
— Trump isolated CNN.. He made it personal.

Then, just as Alinsky suggests, he employs ridicule which Alinsky described as
“the most powerful weapon of all.”… Most importantly, Trump’s tweets have put
CNN in an untenable and unwinnable position. … They need to respond.

This leaves them with only two choices. They can either “go high” (as Hillary would
disingenuously declare of herself and the fake news would disingenuously report as
the truth) and begin to honestly and accurately report the news or they can double-down
on their usual tactics and hope to defeat Trump with twice their usual hysteria and
demagoguery. The problem for CNN (et al.) with the former is that, if they were to
start honestly reporting the news, that would be the end of the Democratic Party they
serve. It is nothing but the incessant use of fake news (read: propaganda) that keeps
the Left alive.

Imagine, for example, if CNN had honestly and accurately reported then-candidate
Barack Obama’s close ties to foreign terrorists (Rashid Khalidi), domestic terrorists
(William Ayers & Bernardine Dohrn), the mafia (Tony Rezko) or the true evils of his
spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright’s church.

Imagine if they had honestly and accurately conveyed the evils of the Obama administration’s
weaponizing of the IRS to be used against their political opponents or his running of guns to
the Mexican cartels or the truth about the murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and
the Obama administration’s cover-up.

So, to my friends on the Left — and the #NeverTrumpers as well — do I wish we lived in
a time when our president could be “collegial” and “dignified” and “proper”? Of course I do.

These aren’t those times. This is war. And it’s a war that the Left has been fighting without
opposition for the past 50 years.

So, say anything you want about this president - I get it - he can be vulgar, he can be crude,
he can be undignified at times. I don’t care. I can’t spare this man. He fights for America!"
