That is because the right is not a bunch of everyone gets a trophy crybabies.

What " basic human rights " has Trump vowed to take away ?

Be specific please. And Obama ran on empty platitudes, nonsense like hope and change.

How did that work out for whats left of the Democratic party ?

Hillary deserves credit as well for the downfall of the democratic party. Trump could not have won with out her. Just the thought of her running gave the republicans both houses.

oh that's partisan BS. Obama ran against the "rights" of high net tax payers, gun owners, small business owners etc. Your concept of Rights are essentially "handouts" rather than rights. A right is the ability to DO something and not be punished for it by the government. Not something that requires someone else to fund it

You hit that nail on the head. I wrote my politicians more letters trying to preserve our rights while Obama was in office than I had to for the previous 30 years.

Whatever. We'll see how great Trump is when it comes to civil and human rights. And none of those indicators look good.

You really think that's beyond Trump? He wouldn't do it haphazardly. He'd need some kind of excuse, like a Krystalnacht or something. You're kidding yourself if you think he's beyond that.

No. But he might round up all the border jumping criminals and throw them back on the other side of the wall. Then he would not let them back in unless they can prove they have a job and will pay their share of taxes including a border tax to pay for the wall. Plus with a secure border we could also run a check and make sure they are not criminals in their own country trying to escape justice as well as criminals on the run from justice while in our country as well before letting them back in.

Oh you mean how you guys whined about all the guns that Obama was going to take away by executive order? Or was going to give millions of Americans healthcare that didn't previously have it? Or all those other horrible things that you didn't want Obama to do, because everything that the Founders did in 1789 perfectly predicted all the issues we would be facing in 2017? On that note, exactly how many of your guns did Obama take away, Turtle?

But there is a silver lining in our being the minority party now. For the first time in quite awhile, nothing that happens on a national level is our party's problem! Nothing. Garrison Keillor described this problem perfectly in an article he wrote shortly after an election, although he very likely doesn't pass your purity test and I don't expect you to read it. Doesn't make anything he, I, or anyone else are saying any less true.

most of the problems in this country can be traced back to "progressives" pissing all over the constitution

A peaceful protest is on thing BUT throwing rocks at police and breaking windows and destroying vehicles is CRIMINAL ! And they claim to be so moral and just . It's difficult to hear your message with rocks coming at you . :roll:

I agree 100%. Sadly, the professional leftist anarchist protestors know that any arrests are not going to impact their future career plans (many don't have any) and they also know that so long as nobody gets hurt badly, they are not going to do any serious jail time. So... they show up and "protest" again and again.

I am talking about a black clad, masked 'protester' that I saw on tv yesterday. And you? Are you one of the alt-punctuation people?

The one slammed was an asshole protester?
 
Sweden said:
Please clarify. Is an "asshole protester" protesting for or against assholes?
Click to expand...

An asshole protester dressed in black with a mask on should be arrested and charged with a felony. I think I seriously read your first post wrong. My bad if I did.

I went to the inauguration. I saw a protester curse out a toddler because he had a Trump hate on.

That's pretty crappy. What did you do/say to that person when he/she did that?

That and that foul and smelly piece of legislation nicknamed "Obamacare".

Nah. I hit the nail on the head. It's a squirrelly nail.

Well, thank you. That is really gracious of you.
Click to expand...

It was generous, not gracious.

It would have been really funny if they were not. Perhaps the never trump crowd?
Click to expand...

The never Trumpers are no longer a crowd.

And those who did are criminals and should be fully prosecuted.
Click to expand...

Sure

Again, sure.

So true and applying partisan rhetoric to criminal acts only serves as division, especially in light of the President's remark calling for unity of the people.
Click to expand...

The violence comes from the far left. You can deny it until the cows come home, and it still will remain true. Either the left cleans up it's act, or it reaps the political consequences of allowing the violent to exist within their ranks. Characterizing the truth as partisan rhetoric won't help the understanding necessary for unity. It might serve your particular interests, but it isn't a conclusion based in reason.

Lol ! Does he ? He abandoned all meaningful and objective interest in the economy and turned into a Left wing shill years ago.

He traded in what credibillity he had to be a partisan hack

Interesting, I mention Krugman in a comment focused on the reality of which currency has dropped in value and your only response is to attack him while ignoring the basic point. Deflection and denial are apparently a requirement for American "conservatives"
