Parker commentary: You wanted anti-establishment?
West Central Tribune (MN) ^ | 12/9/2016 | Kathleen Parker

COLUMBIA, S.C.—If you thought Donald Trump was the face of America's anti-establishment movement, hold on to your chapeaus: A wild wind is rising.

Want to know what's more anti-establishment than a president-elect who refuses to play by the rules? How about similarly spirited electors going AWOL and sending someone else to the Oval Office?

[snip]

Electors are scheduled to meet Dec. 19 in their respective states to cast their final ballots. If there are 37 Republicans among them with the courage to perform their moral duty and protect the nation from a talented but dangerous president-elect, a new history of heroism will have to be written.

Dim bulbs will be dim bulbs. It really is something to see all of these big government types discover the writings of the founders - and get them all wrong.

If they are afraid of being shot for voting for Trump they should be in abject terror of not voting for him.

If the Electors were to do such a thing, the House should immediately impeach their choice.

American voters are not the establishment you dumb bish. The Establishment is you and the elite globalists. The establishment are the left wing fascists, the politically correct thought police and hate crime fakers. Overthrowning a legal election because you don’t agree with the politics of the guy who won is not being anti-establishment.

You know, these idiots had best pray to whatever deity in which they believe that this does not come to pass. Speaking for myself, if my vote is disenfranchised by anyone I will hunt them down and make them wish to their god(s) that their worthless mothers had never given birth to them. The brazen notion that these scum bags can even actively pursue a path of voter disenfranchisement makes me sick!

She forgot to add, "he's a RISKY SCHEME"!

Yet to them the vote by an illegal alien is sacred.

Kathleen Parker, ersatz Conservative and ambassador at large to Looneyville, suddenly discovers The Federalist.

OK, here is Alexander Hamilton, revolutionary, writing in Federalist #29. Take heed, whackjobs:

"[the] army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens, little if at all inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms, who stand ready to defend their rights and those of their fellow citizens."

Any attempt to overturn the election will be answered by someone "behind every blade of grass."

All you need to know about her is that she voted for Obama twice.

Kathleen and Jennifer Rubin should just say, “Screw it, we’re Democrats.” Come out of the closet, girls.

If there were enough democrats among them with the courage to perform their moral duty and protect the nation from a talented but dangerous president-elect, a new history of heroism would have been written.

Democrats march in lock step, always.
The only time they don’t is for cosmetic purposes only,
dictated by the party.
