Acquittal, and Trump Re-Election, Won’t Stop Leftist Lust for Power
Townhall.com ^ | February 12, 2020 | Larry Provost

President Trump was acquitted by the Senate recently but this, and his upcoming electoral victory in the fall, will do nothing to stop the pure hatred of leftist democrat leaders towards him, his fellow populists and conservatives, and the principles that make America great.

There is a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing. A time for war, and a time for peace. As we live in a fallen world, the world is full of sin and evil. There is no one who is perfect on this side of eternity. However, by the standards of the Scriptures there are good nations and there are bad nations. By the standards of Caesar, there are good political philosophies and bad ones. And there is no denying that the democrat philosophy of 2020 is nothing short of an utterly gutter philosophy.

They defend late-term abortion. They did not want the war in Iraq but once a Republican president who also did not want the war came along…they would not clap for him. They wanted infrastructure spending and when a Republican president wants to spend the money for infrastructure they will not work with him to make it happen. They did not want free trade and yet when Trump got new deals they either would not vote for it or clap for it in the State of the Union even if they did vote for it.

They will keep coming for our guns, which protect our lives, religion, and way of life. They say you are anti-woman for wanting to save the lives of babies, even in the late-term or after birth. They will call you racist for even imagined slights. They lied about us being able to keep our own doctor. They seek to take away our God-given rights of defense and speech because they cannot win a debate in the manner of Lincoln-Douglas.

There has never been a reason for any conservative to support this philosophy or its leaders. The Democratic Party is so radical now that there is no room for the moderates. Impeachment exposed this fact.

The Democrats want us to give up our freedoms in favor of government security, government schools, government health care, and a government of laws so increasingly complex that its own officers, agents, and even tax collectors do not know all of the statutes (meanwhile for us ignorance of the law is no defense). They bash the police with everything they have but want the police to protect them and be the only ones (besides themselves being the well-connected politicians they are) to have the ability to carry concealed. They cannot even say good things about the American people, comparing them from everything from hillbillies to deplorable. Meanwhile, they believe it's okay for illegals to vote in American elections.

The acquittal of President Trump is well deserved and further solidifies his chances of re-election in the fall. However, conservatives and Trump Democrats should not rest on their laurels, either in this election or any generation thereafter. Freedom must be defended every generation, for the leftist lust for power will never end. As Reagan said, it is as clear as the law of physics that the greater powers given to the government an equal share of freedom declines. This does not stop the Democrats; if anything it emboldens them. We must continue to fight with great vigor and tenacity, the same as President Trump has.

I would argue the word “now” is incorrect. They have always been radical. “Now” belongs with sloppy. They’ve been systematically working toward their goals and have been very good at hiding their ultimate vision....Impeachment caused the veil to slip.

Stopping the totalitarian impulse in humans is an unrealistic goal.
With promises of utopia, such hucksters deliver nothing but misery.
Only a society with a perpetual whack-a-mole mindset can contain its evil influence.

Vigilance at the ballot boxes MIGHT stop some of the attacks, if fraud can be sufficiently controlled in enough places to get an at least partially valid vote for the Republican-majority House of Representatives we so desperately need, and to hold onto the majority in the Senate. The now badly compromised Democrats have a party-line vote on every issue at which they may contest President Trump and the Senate.

Love him or hate him, Mitch McConnell has been doing a yeoman job of getting appointments to the Federal judicial bench confirmed, and that may be the greatest legacy of all that Donald Trump as President leaves after he departs the office. Law according to established principles and now centuries of practice in place of “nuanced” interpretations and popular pressures.

Rust never sleeps. Termites never stop eating the timbers. Rats never stop cheating and lying to get power.

In ‘normal’ times, if the democrats had not become so uncivil and so socialist and so radical....

President Trump would easily qualify to take his spot on Mt. Rushmore. That would be the leftists’ worst nightmare.

In any case, Trump should be nominated to be put on Mt Rushmore, and should easily win a Nobel peace prize, if nominated for that too.

No doubt that Trump is among the top best 5 presidents EVER.

Those who desire control over others never stop.

Stalkers never stop.

They will inflict themselves upon their victims until they physically can no longer do this for whatever reason that physically prevents them.

The entire Democrat Party is comprised of narcissistic sociopath stalker personalities.

I’m not familiar with this writer.

But he certainly gets right to the point in relatively few words.

I noted on another thread yesterday that I don’t believe winning in November will be enough.

The RAT party needs its own Stalingrad. It needs to be defeated so badly that its current leadership is utterly discredited and at least some of the base begins to have second thoughts about their political priorities.

It’s already become a truism that politics is downstream of the culture. And for this reason, I can’t see many on the left experiencing a moment of clarity following defeat.

They are too lost in narcissism, identity-bsed grievances, and a sense of entitlement. They have no knowledge of history and no idea of how hard life was for many people, even into times that our oldest citizens can remember.

They are profoundly ungrateful, even while living amid the greatest prosperity in human history. Rather, they see that someone else has a bit more than they have and are consumed by envy.

There’s no reasoning with such people.

I don’t believe there will be any political realignment without the use of force against the left. I hope DJT is prepared for rioting in the immediate aftermath of the election, and continued acts of domestic terrorism afterward.

“The Ripper” is at it 24/7.......she’s a Power Zombie.......plotting as we type.

“Pen”losi’s carefully-laid, vainglorious dreams of assuming total power were vanquished.

“Killing the King” was her “pen”ultimate goal.

Too bad she missed.

What happens to her next is not going to be pretty.

As Pres Reagan once said: " it is as clear as the law of physics that as greater powers
are given to the government, an equal share of freedom to the citizenry declines."

This does not stop power-mongering Democrats; it emboldens them.

I predict her stunt with the SOTU speach will haunt her for a long time.

The Democratic Party must be eradicated off the face of the earth. It is too dangerous to be allowed to continue to exist.

And I’m going to make that happen and nothing on God’s green earth is going to stop me.

Leftist lust for power.
The top 2 contenders are Bernie Sanders, a hard core Marxists and Pete Buttigieg, a gay Marxist whose high school idol was Bernie Sanders.

Many criminals/gangs/collectives NEVER stop until incarcerated or eliminated. Witness history. Witness current events. Individuals have always had to fight to be free.

My 86 year old mother told me as a child, she wore clothes made from old grain sacks.

The Left’s lust for power in DC makes the greed on Wall st look like a Sunday school girl picnic.
