It's been pretty dispiriting to see FReepers ignoring what the man has said and done for many years in favor of the smoke under their skirts.

I can't say your comment doesn't give me some measure of satisfaction.

There have been more than enough articles posted on FreeRepublic to satisfactorily explain exactly why those supporting Trump are immune to criticism of his past, and do so without heaping derision on them. Yet a small contingent insists on trying to insult their opinion into ascendancy.

This phenomena reminded me of a line from Ayn Rand:

"If we look at modern intellectuals, we are confronted with the grotesque spectacle of such characteristics as militant uncertainty, crusading cynicism, dogmatic agnosticism, boastful self-abasement and self-righteous depravity —in an atmosphere of guilt, of panic, of despair, of boredom and of all-pervasive evasion.

This new phenomenon I have dubbed "evangelical cynicism." (not to be confuse with religious evangelism, but parallels do give one pause.)

So to those who have set for themselves the goal of spreading the gospel of cynicism: may your labors continue to reward you with the sour fruits they so richly deserve.

Being against Trump(being President) is not cynical it’s logical..
He quite simply is not qualified.. since he has WORKED FOR THE ENEMY.. has been the enemy, maybe still IS the enemy..

President is way to sensitive an Office for him to hold..
Without positive affirmations.. beyond “WORDs” which can be and often is mere rhetoric..

Could Be different if qualified people were not “HANDY”..
Trump is a candidate to be accepted as a conservative.. NOT as President..

Fast tracking him to be CEO of the Country is a serious MISTAKE..
Give a couple years proving he is a Conservative and I would vote for him.. unless he is a RINO..

So to those who have set for themselves the goal of spreading the gospel of cynicism: may your labors continue to reward you with the sour fruits they so richly deserve.

I'll take your ignorantly projected cynicism as opposed to willful delusion. Those who would explain away the degree of Trump's plastic opinions show no more integrity than Xero's apologists among the leftists who showed such adulation.
