Attention whore...

I'm cool with you removing me from your friends list if you don't like this post. You can even disown me if you like. But Donald Trump isn't a good person, nor would he be a good president. I can understand a difference in politics. I can understand if you don't like a government run by Democrats. I can understand if you don't like certain ideologies, like Socialism. But I can't understand why you would support someone as hateful, sexist, racist and ignorant as Donald Trump.
How do you support him so blindly? Ask yourself, are you a racist, sexist, hateful and ignorant person as well? I hear his supporters saying they like him because he tells the truth, because he's so rich he can say whatever he feels like with no apologies. Just because Trump is saying these things doesn't suddenly make them right. It's not okay to discriminate against an entire religion based on a small percentage of its followers who have become terrorists by twisting the words of their religion to fit their crazy ideals. It's not okay to marginalize an entire race of people, saying things like all the Mexicans are lazy, and they are all stealing our jobs and bringing drugs into our country.
White people also have bad apples. So does every race of people. We're all human. Some humans are really bad people. Some are really good. And it doesn't matter what color they are, it makes no difference whatsoever. Trump says he is just telling the truth. But whose truth? There are lazy people in every race and there are dangerous violent people in every race and every religion. Kicking all Muslims out of the country is not the answer, nor is it the acceptable behavior of a person in an extremely powerful position, like the President of the United States.
The Japanese Internment camps were wrong, Segregation was wrong, Slavery was wrong. We fought wars amongst ourselves to rise above racism and hatred. In WWII more than 60 million people died worldwide. Why? Because of twisted people who were whipping up the population into a frenzy and making ridiculous statements, killing innocent people simply because of their race or religion. The United States lost more than 400,000 lives fighting in that war, against the same ideas that Trump is pushing. The idea that certain religions are more dangerous than others and the idea that people should be judged based on the color of their skin rather than the content of their character.
We're still healing from the damage inflicted by the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Vietnam, Iraq and the War on Terror. And it isn't just ISIS or Al-Qaeda. It's our own people in this country killing their fellow countrymen over differences of opinion, like whether or not you believe abortion is okay or what kind of political ideology you support. And then there are just the plainly insane people who finally snap and go on shooting rampages for no discernible reason at all. They just went mad.
The kind of leadership Trump is displaying is irresponsible and dangerous. His virulent ideas are seeping into the brains of his supporters. Supporters who think it's okay to say things like "light the mother@!$%#er on fire" while a protester is being dragged out of one of his rallies. Maybe the protester was wrong to be where he was at the time, but no matter what he did, there was no reason to set him on fire. In fact, there is NEVER a reason to set anyone on fire. Unless it’s because they are dead and they wish to be cremated.
Trump's supporters are angry, and anger is infectious. I can tell you as a non-supporter of Trump I am just as angry. We need the kind of leader that seeks to bring us together, not tear us apart. Why do we have to fight against helping each other, against common sense, against a united Nation? The American Dream is a nightmare and we are feeding it, making it worse every day. Trump is a bully, a loud mouth, ignorant, sexist, racist, disgusting example of how horrible humans can potentially be.
He is the crazy person at your dinner table who won’t stop running his mouth. The only reason he is allowed to carry on with his ugly hateful rhetoric is because you have too much respect for Grandma to get into a fist fight in her home. He’s the guy you have to endure until he leaves, all the while hating every minute that you have to occupy the same space. Lucky for us, this isn’t Grandma’s house, so feel free to punch him in the mouth in the form of getting out and making your vote count.
They always say it’s so important to make your voice heard, to get out and vote. But I’m not sure if it’s ever been more important than now. Differences of political ideals are one thing, I can agree to disagree on many matters across a wide array of topics, but racism isn't one of them, neither is hate, neither is the belittling of women or the judgment of others based on their appearance or their disability, or their sexual preference.
By supporting Trump do you think things will go back to the way they were? Back when gay people had to hide in fear, back when people of any other color than white had to worry about getting lynched, back when it was okay to openly hate? Do you think empowered women will suddenly quit their jobs and go back to the kitchen ? Because electing Trump won't make any of that come true. We're past that as a nation, or at least I thought we were.
If you're not a racist, bigoted, misogynistic jerk then voting for Trump simply because you don't like Democrats is wrong. If you are one of his supporters and you're just a racist and you don't care who knows it then vote for him, but know that the good people of America will not stand for it and he will never win a fair election. And please consider pursuing an education and work on your empathy toward your fellow human beings. Whatever led you to believe that racism is okay can be unlearned if you open your mind. I'm sorry that you were raised to believe that you deserve better treatment than the rest of the people on the planet that have different views than yours, worship different gods than you and have skin that isn't white.
To all the people, of all the races and religions that Donald Trump stands against, to all the women that don't meet his standards of beauty, to all the good Muslims, and Christians, Mormons and Catholics and Jewish, Italians, Irish and Asians, to the African-Americans and Native Americans, to anyone who has ever been persecuted, belittled, made to feel inferior or bullied based on ignorance like the kind that Trump is spewing, please, I implore you to get out and vote against him. Don't let the progress of this great nation be halted. We've come too far.
In this country we FIGHT and DIE for freedom, for Truth and Justice. We fight for what's right. And what Trump is doing and saying isn't right. Abraham Lincoln said:
"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and cause me to tremble for safety of my country; corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in High Places will follow, and the Money Power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the People, until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic destroyed."
And he couldn't be more right. Trump IS the one percent, he IS working on your prejudices, and he WILL destroy the Republic if he is elected, make no doubt about it.
If you don’t believe me, just look at the level of crazy coming out of his own mouth:
"[I am] calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on" - Donald Trump That's religious discrimination.
"An ‘extremely credible source’ has called my office and told me that Barack Obama’s birth certificate is a fraud" -Donald Trump That’s an outright lie.
"Ariana Huffington is unattractive, both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man – he made a good decision.â€- Donald Trump This is sexism, and just plain rude.
"You know, it really doesn’t matter what the media write as long as you've got a young, and beautiful, piece of @!$%#." - Donald Trump This is misogyny at its finest.
“I will build a great wall –and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me – and I'll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words." - Donald Trump The words of an arrogant hate monger.
"When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending the best. They're not sending you, they're sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They’re rapists… And some, I assume, are good people." -Donald Trump Racist.
"Our great African-American President hasn't exactly had a positive impact on the thugs who are so happily and openly destroying Baltimore." - Donald Trump Racist.
"If I were running ‘The View’, I'd fire Rosie O'Donnell. I mean, I'd look at her right in that fat, ugly face of hers, I'd say ‘Rosie, you’re fired." - Donald Trump The words of an @!$%#.
"The beauty of me is that I'm very rich." - Donald Trump So Vain.
"It's freezing and snowing in New York – we need global warming!" - Donald Trump Ignorant.
"My fingers are long and beautiful, as, it has been well documented, are various other parts of my body." - Donald Trump Gross.
"I think the only difference between me and the other candidates is that I'm more honest and my women are beautiful." - Donald Trump Sexist. As if women are possessions rather than people. And also a lie. A lie about how honest he is.
How can you support this man?
I was thinking the same thing! I'd love to “unfriend” him but I don't do social media.
Like someone I just dealt with, you seem unstable my friend. Go Trump Go!
I’ve read has been quoted many times over the last 50 years — and have never seen that one.
Never.
Not only that — the dead give-away is the language used. It is 21st century “Occupy speak”.
.
Anyone who is voting for anyone but Cruz is just clearing the way for Hitlery.
Name-calling. The whole damn article is name-calling. ALL of those words in the service of name-calling. Seems to me this ass could have just cut to the chase and saved himself a lot of work. How self deceiving must a person be to try to dress up a mere tactic into an actual argument
“How can you support this man?”
My most basic reason is that Trump is about as far from being Jeremy as a man could be. Liberalism and political correctness have all but buried what it means to be a man.
Men like Jeremy could never have fought the wars that he’s so fond of talking about and they most certainly could never have won them. Men like Jeremy(I do hope that I’m not committing one of those gender faux pas) could never have founded this great nation of ours nor could they have ever defended it against all enemies for centuries.
Jeremy is a product of a neutering campaign that’s been working pretty well to produce a kind of gender neutral sperm donor whose only purpose is biological. Trump reminds me of days gone by before Pajama Boys became fashionable.
Attention whore...
He is neither racist, sexist, nor mysogynistic.
He does not inflame people to acts of violence against anyone. I challenge you to show where he has done so, in spite of the fact that his daily rallies numbering in the tens of thousands, are neat, orderly, free of anger or profanity, and crime free-- before, during, and after. They lead to nothing except more and bigger peaceful rallies.
He advocates nothing but that the rule of law be applied to all people in this country: the minorities as it is applied (strictly) to the majority, non-elite, conservatives.
Face it, he's going to be the next President, and he will do a great job enforcing the law fairly. That may make you mad, because you are a bad American, but it will make millions of good Americans very happy.
Have a nice day!
Adorable and funny! Bravo and well done.
1. He’s FINALLY mocked Political Correctness - to the equal and opposite strength that someone has needed to do it for 20+ years - Now average people are getting their mojo back to do the same in the public arena.
2. With that said - he is the opposite of Europe’s and Liberals’ cowardice to calling the Muslim problem what it is.
3. Same with illegals - not skirting around the issue but forcefully saying what we’ve all (’normal’ Americans) have been feeling for the past 20 years.
4. He, by his upbringing and lifetime of experience, has been successful at what he puts his hand to do - with extreme competence and hate for wasteful spending - and wants to apply the same principles to shredding the government bloat.
5. He fights to win. His shots at fellow Republicans are mild to what is needed to win against Hitlary, Dems, The Media - which he has shown as MORE than capable to fight the latter and win at their own game.
6. He’s tired of America of being Uncle Sucker to the rest of the world. He’s been extremely consistent about that for 25+ years (watch 25 year ago video).
7. He loves the Vets and puts his money where his mouth is.
8. He can’t be bought like most of the others. The trappings of Washington don’t impress him - unlike we’ve seen from 99% of the politicians that go to Washington.
You call him a bully and a braggart. Like Rush says - it ain’t braggin’ if you can do it. Seriously though - numerous people have stated that Trump is a tough negotiator, but his actual persona in person one-to-one is self-deprecating and down to earth. Unlike Obama and Clinton who are psychopathic narcissists.
Can you please take a moment and stop your hating and honestly look at these points. Be honest and give credit where due. Yes, we love Ted Cruz and would ideally love him to be President - at the right time. But the Left’s and Obama’s lawlessness and distortions of truth have taken such a strong hold of this country that we need someone like Trump to do the level of bulldozing necessary. Ted is great at welding a knife of a tongue. But first there comes a time in surgery or construction that you must do the massive reconstruction before getting to the finer points.
I will bookmark this one to compare the talking points from a lefty yo the words of the “true conservatives” on this site.
“21 Questions for Donald Trump that the media won’t ask unless he receives the nomination.
And then, boom
“
So we take it you agree with the writer?
TO expand on that: Lincoln was a mature speaker and writer with a marvelous command of the English language and a mastery of the pithy turn of phrase.
This read like something written by pajama boy.
Furthermore, in any reading I have done regarding Linclon, I have never seen that he had ANY concern with the issue of corporations garnering power. None.
In fact, I’ve never seen that it was an issue to anyone (not even the 19th century Communists) until well after Lincoln’s death.
Probably the best way to satisfy yourself as to answer (one way or another) is to read extensively of Lincoln’s life and writings (and I don’t mean on the internet)
For instance the biography of Abraham Lincoln (two volumes) by Carl Sandburg
If that quote is genuine, it will be in there.
he would be last to get my vote simply because he is a bully and braggart
It’s people like you who have destroyed the morals and ethics of our older culture and have a basic hate of anything manley or of strong character...simply because they have not been domesticated and physiologically castrated.
Get over it...put some ice on it and I hope you stay up to see the election results next fall.
He must have said that before he won the Croix de Guerre posthumously, for leading the charge up San Juan Hill during the Battle of the Ardennes in South Vietnam in 2008. ;-)
Barack Obama has made that impossible. The only thing that will bring us together is a Third Great Awakening, and that is spiritual, not political. In the meantime, the left has decided that we are the enemy and need to be silenced, so we have to assume that they have no desire to come together with us, and design our politics accordingly.
(FD: I support Cruz for President.)
So according to the boy who wears skidmarked underwear that wrote the article Trump is a nazi?
Since when does securing our border and putting in place a temporary halt to bringing in unvetted Muslims equate to throwing Jews into ovens and gas chambers?
Wow what a stretch.
“Anyone who is voting for anyone but Cruz is just clearing the way for Hitlery.”
Your tagline: Freepers: Not as smart as I’d hoped they’d be.
Says a lot about the base snobbery of Cruz people on this site. Does that tag apply to the site owner too by any chance?
And thanks for all you have done for America.
Hope we can save it so the sacrifice of you and others who fought for the nation are not thrown away to fulfill the fantasies of liberals and other America haters.
