After the fall of Richmond in 1865, Abraham Lincoln went to the Confederate White House in Richmond as part of a tour of the city. A large crowd of civilians gather to see Lincoln.
Weitzel asked the President for advice on how he should treat the citizens of the captured city. Lincoln replied that he did not want to give orders on that topic but "If I were in your place, I'd let 'em up easy, let 'em up easy."
We won, that is all that matters today.
Good advice, but tough to follow, especially with every talk show host (radio) saying things like “We’ve failed out National IQ test”.
Gracious?
To hell with that, I say we kick them in the face while they are down. They’ve been doing it to us for 8 long years!
Damn right I will be gracious, I will smile all day knowing our Constitution survived this crucible, that our country will live on and that leftists all over the world are gnashing their teeth this morning. Yes sir, I will be very gracious!
I'll be rubbing mud in their faces - and we have plenty of mud in Central Texas right now.
I will be sure to be extra nice and wave and give an extra big smile to the drivers in all those cars with Obama bumper stickers on them.
Oh, I am being gracious. Most of the people where I work are libs. As I walked in I could hear some Hispanic women grousing along the lines of “I hope they are ready to do their own construction projects, and cook their own food and wipe their own baby’s bottoms, etc”. I didn’t say anything. I merely enjoyed the schadenfreude.
And I will wave with all my fingers, not just one....

Fortunately, not all of us are gloating scumbags like the current occupant of the Oval Office, who famously said, “Elections have consequences. We won, you lost. Deal with it!”
I think the left needs to learn to be gracious losers first.
I will be a ‘gracious winner’ if THEY are ‘gracious LOSERS.................

No. I will rub it in their faces.
Except for my liberal friends. I actually have a few. To them I shall be gracious.
Starting tomorrow I think you are right. But we deserve one day to celebrate and gloat. Tomorrow, back to the real world.
It was easier to be gracious as winners of the bloody War Between the States . . . Southerners were much more honorable than the Clintonistas.

This is an upside to not having any leftists or SJWs in my life—I don’t have to worry about being gracious to them.
Umm—No.
When they finish crying tomorrow or Friday can we ridicule and mock them again?..
and lock up their leaders...
The ones that voted for PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP ALREADY DO ALL THAT!.............
