He Fights
Town Hall ^ | July 13, 2017 | Evan Sayet

Posted on 08/18/2018 4:37:05 PM PDT by DJ Taylor

My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent #NeverTrumpers) 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. There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency. We tried statesmanship. Could there be another human being on this earth who so desperately prized “collegiality” as John McCain? We tried propriety – has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney? 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.”

Oh yes both Bushes were country club gentlemen.

What did that give us?

Bush 41 gave us Bill Clinton, Kuwait war with no return on investment and democrat congress.

Bush 43 gave us Obama, most expensive (blood + treasure) war in Iraq with no return on investment, longest war in history in Afghanistan and financial crisis of 2008.

In the meanwhile we were getting shafted in trade by every country, and are were defending middle east oil supplies to China with money borrowed from China.

So No, Trump’s manners don’t bother me one bit. I practiced engineering all my working career and only care about results, not how pretty the paperwork looks.

Not only am I not bothered, but I like it!

I love it when he doesn’t act ‘presidential”.

I’m not better than that. I want to see the left crushed and driven before us, and hear the lamentation of their women.

This is also the difference between the congressional republicans and the president, and why they don’t like him. They would rather get along, get rich, and stay on the couch than fight for the principles their voters elected them for.

Barack Obama to his Supporters in 2008: They bring a Knife, we bring a Gun.

Barack Obama to the GOP House after he won the Presidency: We won, you lost, Elections have consequences.

Barack Obama once again: The GOP can ride in the back of the Car.

Barack Obama to the Russian President (caught on a Hot Mic) before the 2012 Election: Tell Vlad that I’ll be much more flexible after the Election (regarding the reduction of our Anti Ballistic Missiles in Eastern Europe).

Yes!!

I admire and adore President Trump because he’s not just a fighter, he’s a street brawler, a gladiator and (most importantly) a WINNER!!!

He’s a kick-@ss bad@ss, and that’s EXACTLY who I want as my president.

MAGA!!!!!!

tried dignity

Declaration of Independence: A Transcription
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress
in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only
by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act
which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
