What was your favourite response from the liberals to Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election? Actress Emma Watson handing out copies of a Maya Angelou book to bewildered commuters in New York? Cher announcing that she wasn’t simply leaving the USA, ‘but Planet Earth too’ — a move some of us assumed she had made at least 40 years ago? The hysterical protestors who set fire to their own shoes because they thought the said shoes were pro-Trump? The hyperbolic hatred spewed out towards those who voted for the Donald, or Matthew Parris suggesting that maybe this democracy caper has gone too far, or the teachers telling tearful children that we’re all going to die?

That's about the same time frame I started paying enough attention to realize we were starting to circle the drain.

Its good to see a president with common sense, logic, rational reasoning, critical thinking skills,etc... things you'd think would be normal but obviously the left don't seem possess any of those traits.

People all across the world are starting to see the flawed thinking of the left which is driven by greed, selfishness, narcissism, power, ideologies that make absolutely no sense unless you look at them from the skewed perspective of a tyrant who engineered them, etc...They also observed first hand why socialism didn't work AGAIN and maybe why it never will.

My favorite was a college age girl sobbing,she said she was frightened.

When asked by the interviewer what she was afraid of she said she may no longer have access to birth control.

Actually, Donald Trump represents the OLD normal, at least to the degree that word has any meaning left. Liberals have so distorted the perception of the term that people now believe it is "normal" for men to use womens' bathrooms. That two men buggering each other is the equivalent of a marriage. That enabling renegade nations with nuclear weapons is tolerable. That vetting potential mass murderers is somehow discriminatory. That controlling immigration is beyond the rights of a sovereign nation. That higher taxes and more regulation are actually GOOD for the economy. That up is down and weak is strong. That a few loudmouths with made-up grievances can shape public policy, but the will of the vast majority is somehow oppressive.

Donald Trump promises to reverse such Alice-in-Wonderland thinking, and simply return us to an America that makes sense.

“”When asked by the interviewer what she was afraid of she said she may no longer have access to birth control.””

I saw that and it was because if Obamacare was repealed, she’d no longer be on her parents insurance coverage. Her anguish nearly broke my heart.

Patriotism ... is, you have to say, very much alive and well in Russia, and growing in continental Europe.

I certainly saw it when I visited Mongolia recently. I was told that one river is patriotic because it starts and ends entirely in Mongolia. The symbol of Mongolia is plastered everywhere.

There is nothing wrong with being patriotic, and interacting with other countries as partners. Globalism--trying to wipe out all cultural differences and make us one big homogeneous mass (ruled by a few special elites)--is well overdue for disposal.

And you can probably get BCPs at Wal-Mart for $9/month or some such.

BUT SHE’D NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS!

“”BUT SHE’D NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS!””

Oh! Now that really breaks my heart..What are those poor babies going to do? Perhaps they should rethink WHY they need birth control pills BEFORE they enter ADULTHOOD!
