'Hate Cannot Be the New Normal': Teachers, Working People in Unions, Faith and Civil Rights Leaders Urge President-Elect Trump to Condemn Hate Speech

As the number of hate-related incidents has been escalating in the recent days following the 2016 election campaign marked by the extreme and hateful rhetoric of Donald Trump, working people in unions are calling on the president-elect to take a stand. During his acceptance speech, Trump said he would work to unite all working people.

Working people are demanding that Trump commit to representing all of America’s people by "loudly, forcefully, unequivocally and consistently denouncing these acts and the ideology that drives them."

Democrats leaving the halls of power remind me of a demon being exorcized from a human body. Willing to say anything, desperate to change the narrative, angry and scared.

Well, I condemn the very idea of “hate speech.”

Freedom of speech includes speech that idiot leftists don’t happen to agree with. Anything they don’t agree with, they label “hate speech” and claim it’s illegal - a nice big, giant step toward legislated group-think and an utterly fascist mentality (witness the civil unrest that’s going on right now because the babies can’t stand the thought of someone actually disagreeing with them - like most of the country during an election, that is).

The only HATE is coming from the union THUGS. I’m not talking about the most union workers.

I’ve seen what SEIU can do here in San Diego .. and it’s almost frightening to watch them.

And .. most of the protest ARE STILL USING THE SAME OLD MANTRA THEY USED DURING THE 60’s .. HEY HEY HO HO, [PERSON OR COMPANY] HAS GOT TO GO.

So .. the HATRED THEY ARE UPSET ABOUT .. THEY STARTED IN THE 60’s AND THEY STILL THINK WE DON’T NOTICE THEY HAVEN’T CHANGED THEIR “CHANT” IN ALL THOSE YEARS. That’s how we know the groups are supported by the unions.

As for the SCHOOLS - TEACHER’S UNIONS - everybody needs to agree to Charter schools .. and this nonsense will stop. Parents .. you have got to stand up to this; they are teaching your children to HATE America; HATE white people; and practically faint if the person they support doesn’t win an election. THESE UNIONS HAVE WAAAAAAAAY TOO MUCH POWER.

I’d like to see ALL UNIONS IN ANY GOVT ENTITY - OUT OF BUSINESS. The reason .. they donate TO DEMOCRATS ONLY .. while they’re working in every area of govt. If commerce wants to allow the unions, fine .. but they DO NOT BELONG in the government.

THIS IS PART OF DRAINING THE SWAMP.

I hate to tell these people, but hate is a normal human emotion. It's just as normal as love, compassion, envy, fear, etc. The trick is not to act on negative emotions if you have an empathy, which is also a human emotion.

The bigger trick is to use your intellect (logic, reasoning, rationality) before succumbing to negative emotions.

Also, love your tagline. Yes, by all means no one should ever clean up the ghettoes. Gawd knows the inhabitants won't do it. They rather live in a garbage dump than pick up a piece of paper or paint a wall.

One person who is happy as a clam, and has lived to see the ruin and self destruction of the Obama Admin is Jimmy Carter. He no longer is on the bottom rung of the Presidential ladder. Barack Hussein Obama now perches on that bottom rung as the lousiest President of them all.

You try to force me to do things, and buy things, and accept things, and think things I don’t want to do or don’t agree with.

When I object, or resist, I’m a “hater.”
