Democrats Protest Democracy
Yesterday, America awoke to the unexpected reality that Donald Trump was president-elect. Many Americans felt some combination of relief, excitement and optimism after being fed up with the last eight years of Washington elitists foisting their socialist agenda upon the country. But most Democrats expressed shock, dismay and disbelief as they saw their grip on national power evaporate overnight.
What do leftists do when their candidate loses? Protest, violently if "necessary."
From New York City to San Francisco, Boston to Austin, DC to Seattle, Chicago to Portland, angry and disgruntled leftists spilled into the streets, holding up signs and chanting, "Not my president." In Chicago, hundreds gathered outside Trump International Hotel and Tower shouting, "No Trump! No KKK! No racist USA!" One young woman holding up a sign that read, "Enjoy your rights while you can," said, "I'm just really terrified about what is happening in this country."
In Oakland, the protesting crowd grew to 6,000 and began rioting by smashing windows and setting fires so that law enforcement was brought in to quell the situation. Neighboring San Francisco saw hundreds of people marching and chanting "Donald Trump has got to go." One woman brought her five-year-old son to the protest and said through tears, "I don't know how to explain to him the state of the world. I want him to understand that there aren't all evil people out there." Well, she certainly could have chosen a better venue to seek to reinforce that ideal.
What is truly ironic about leftist action and rhetoric is the fact that what they claim to fear and decry is the very thing they practice. By labeling those who disagree with their point of view as bigots and racists, they are displaying the very hate they claim to be combating. And it's truly ironic that the "Democratic" Party has the most trouble adhering to and practicing the ideals of "democracy." ~The Patriot Post

What Was Clinton's Failure?
As many attempt to explain how liar-Hillary Clinton lost the election despite all the manifest weaknesses of her opponent, all the support she received from the Leftmedia, and a huge pile of campaign cash, one reason more than any other seems to be on the top of the list. She was a uniquely bad candidate the DNC believed it could force to the top.
In 2008, the then-New York senator couldn't garner even 40% of the Democrat primary vote and lost to that upstart and rather unknown junior senator from Illinois, Barack liar-nObama. Though never admitted publicly by the DNC, there was much talk that, this time around, it was liar-Hillary's turn. That was confirmed by the WikiLeaks release of the DNC's hacked emails, which revealed the effort to defeat upstart Bernie Sanders. The DNC succeeded in securing the nomination for liar-Clinton, but not the presidency.
As for Donald Trump, he didn't win because of racism, as so many within the Leftmedia are claiming. In fact, the numbers show that Trump won less of the white vote and more of the black and Hispanic vote than did Mitt Romney. liar-Clinton received less of the minority vote than did liar-nObama in 2012. Overall, liar-Hillary won six million fewer votes than liar-nObama in '12, and 10 million fewer than liar-nObama in '08. It would seem the Democrats' usual identity politics failed to work as well without liar-nObama at the top of the ticket.
liar-Hillary's uninspiring and awkward personality, which manifests in a noxious superiority complex, combined with her abysmal record and her commitment to deceitfulness, was too much to overcome. Many Americans simply found her unbearable. ~The Patriot Post

Love Thy Neighbor — Especially Now
by Nancy Flory
{stream.org} ~ Now that the 18 months campaign ordeal is over, the election settled, the vitriol calmed (for most of us) and the adrenaline stilled, how do we handle the inevitable tense conversations with friends and families... over the incredibly divisive election season and outcome? The ballots may be cast and counted, but neighbors are still scared, parents still angry, co-workers still frustrated, friends still frightened. How do we, as Christians, lovingly engage with them in productive conversations about what happened without driving a wedge between relationships any further? How can we begin the process of uniting relationships and healing the scars on our nation?... https://stream.org/love-thy-neighbor-especially-now/?utm_source=The+Stream&utm_campaign=0e83aeabfe-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_11_10&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_8da00e4cb4-0e83aeabfe-371883569

START PACKING: 23 Celebrities
Who Promised to Leave...
{conservativetribune.com} ~ Prior to President-elect Donald Trump’s victory in Tuesday’s presidential election, numerous snooty liberal elitists threatened to leave the United States were he to win... Included among this cadre of pompous blowhards was every type of liberal imaginable — liberal actors, liberal filmmakers, liberal models, liberal singers, liberal TV hosts and, of course, liberal comedians like Jon Stewart. Known for hosting “The Daily Caller” on Comedy Central for nearly two decades, Stewart was an especially nasty liberal who spent much of the election season besmirching Trump and his supporters as racists, sexists, bigots and whatever else...They won't keep their promises. http://conservativetribune.com/celebrities-who-promised-to-leave/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=PostUp&utm_campaign=ConservativeBrief&utm_content=2016-11-10

DNC’s Paid Left-Wing Moonbats March Again –
Cupcake Nation Protests…
{theconservativetreehouse.com} ~ Van Jones says: “Donald Trump’s election was a white-lash“. Unfortunately for Jones’ narrative Romney won 59% of the white vote. Trump won 58%, so it wasn’t a racial issue... Feminist Democrat Leaders/Politicians blame gender bias against liar-Hillary Clinton for Trump’s election. Unfortunately for their narrative liar-nObama won with 47% of women voters, liar-Hillary Clinton only carried 43% of female voters – so it wasn’t a gender issue. However, both groups are on the street tonight marching in protest against Donald Trump’s election... https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/11/09/dncs-paid-left-wing-moonbats-march-again-cupcake-nation-protests/

CAIR Lays Foundation For Agitation,
Challenges To Future Trump Policies
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ The Hamas front group CAIR is obviously upset that the Muslim Brotherhood operative and fellow caliphate supporter Huma Abedin will not be occupying space inside the White House... Neither will one of their chief enablers, liar-Hillary Clinton, be in a position to further advance the cause of their caliphate and to dramatically increase the number of Islamic invaders. They’re probably more than a little dismayed that many and perhaps all of their current operatives inside the government may now be looking for employment elsewhere due to security concerns. They seem to be taking proactive measures to label any such firings for national security concerns as being baseless acts of religious bigotry or racism, the same baseless claims they’ve made all along in their weak attempts to label Donald Trump and the American people standing in opposition to their takeover as something we’re not...

Earnest Responds To liar-Clinton Pardon
Question With Rambling Fillibuster That Shouts “Yes”
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ During the Wednesday press briefing White House Spokesliar Josh Earnest was asked by an order taker/transcriber about the possibility that Hussein liar-nObama might pardon liar-Hillary Clinton... precluding President Trump from being able to seek justice for her crimes and more importantly, precluding the American people for receiving justice for the offenses she has committed against our nation. But everything in the DC Swamp is about the “celebrity politicians,” and until it is drained the focus will continue to remain on the interests of the manipulators and exploiters rather than their victims. Earnest replied with a long, meandering non-answer which clearly meant “Yes” to anyone able to sift through the non-committal blather. He said, “Well, Jordan, as you know, the ‘president’ has offered clemency to a substantial number of Americans who were previously serving time in federal prisons.”... http://rickwells.us/earnest-responds-clinton-pardon-question-rambling-fillibuster-shouts-yes/

Here Come the Charges of Racism and Sexism
by Michael Brown
{townhall.com} ~ No sooner was it clear that Donald Trump would be our next president then the “racist” and “sexist” charges started to fly.
According to CNN’s Van Jones, the vote for Trump was, in part, a “whitelash” against President liar-nObama’s blackness.
According to MSNBC’s Al Sharpton, populist, white support for Trump today is not “Bernie Sanders populism” but rather “George Wallace populism.”
According to ABC’s Cokie Roberts, lots of men voted for Trump because there is “probably” a “strong sentiment about not having a woman president.”
In reality, millions of Americans were fed up with the direction of this country, not with the color of President liar-nObama’s skin. And, these same frustrated Americans would have gladly voted for a strong conservative female against a weak liberal male. Just imagine how they would have rallied around a Republican Margaret Thatcher had she been running against Democrat Bernie Sanders.
That being said, I do not deny for a moment that racism and sexism exist in America, nor do I deny that Donald Trump helped deepened the divides among us.
We are a country of 340 million people, and we have more than enough racists and sexists among us.
But, percentage-wise, I suspect that there are just as many black racists as white racists or Hispanic racists, etc. and there are just as many men-hating feminists as there are women-degrading male chauvinists. And let’s not forget liar-Hillary’s divisiveness either.
But rather than look at this statistically with regard to the Trump/liar-Hillary vote as David French has done when it comes to race and as exit poll analyses have broken down in greater detail, let’s apply a little logic and see if there might be some double standards.
Thinking back to the liar-Hillary/liar-nObama primary battle in 2008, which at times was quite intense, were liar-nObama’s voters sexist for rejecting liar-Hillary? Conversely, were liar-Hillary’s voters racist for rejecting liar-nObama?
Of course, questions like this would never be asked, since the voters in question were liberals and Democrats who, by default, cannot be guilty of racism or sexism. Obviously!
Interestingly, it was during the 2008 campaign that John McCain chose Sarah Palin as his running mate, yet the same “angry white males” who rejected liar-Hillary in 2016 because of her gender embraced Sarah Palin despite hers. Or could it be that the issue was not gender but rather policies?
In my varied roles as a conservative leader, radio host, author, professor, minister, and public speaker, I have interacted with thousands of voters who could not vote for Barack liar-nObama or liar-Hillary Clinton. And not one of them ever brought up the color of his skin, while perhaps two or three brought up the fact that liar-Hillary was a woman and they believed that men should govern and lead.
On the flip side, a large percentage of these people (including me) really wanted to have the privilege of voting for the first black president, but we could not do so in good conscience. At the same time, I can tell you that I know countless women and men who would never vote for liar-Hillary because of her policies and character, not her gender.
Unfortunately, because we are all conservatives who tend to vote Republican, we are, by default, sexists and racists. Of course!
But perhaps I’m missing the point and one of my progressive friends can enlighten me. Please help me understand.
When it comes to a black candidate vs. a white candidate, when blacks vote for the black candidate in overwhelming percentages, that's not racist, but when whites vote for the white candidate in fairly large percentages, that is racist. Can anyone explain how that works?
In the same way, when it comes to a female candidate vs. a male candidate, when women vote for the female candidate in overwhelming percentages, that’s not sexist, but when men vote for the male candidate in fairly large percentages, that is sexist.
Could it be that the problem is not with the racism and sexism of the right but rather with the racist and sexist projections of the left? Could it be that it is the racist and sexist lens through which some of them see the rest of the world?
Again, this is not to deny the existence of racism and sexism on the right. It is to dispute the pervasiveness of those ugly attitudes on the right and to ask if there is not as least as much of it on the left.
Ironically, in a classic example of the pot calling the kettle black, it was Al Sharpton who stated that Trump “knew exactly what he was doing, he was playing to the worst elements.” How extraordinary!
I personally believe that both liar-Hillary and Trump ran very divisive campaigns and, as one who voted for Trump and urged others not to vote for liar-Hillary, I will gladly hold him accountable for his divisiveness. And certainly, I hope to see a good amount of diversity in those he appoints to serve.
But since Trump has now pledged to be the president of all Americans, and since liar-Hillary and liar-nObama have urged their supporters to be give Trump a chance, the best we can do is drop the race-baiting, gender-baiting rhetoric and treat each other with grace and respect in the midst of our serious differences.
That applies to the left at least as much as it applies to the right.
