A Clarifying moment in US History

Time to decide if you stand for American values or with the moron dictator addicted to Twitter.




Your choice. History will be the judge.

In my experience Conservatives have extremely short memories. You can point out the clear and obvious parallels between the stuff Trump is doing and recent modern dictators and despots all day long until you are blue in the face, and they just absolutely will not acknowledge even the slightest concern over the course Trump is taking.

For all of their long tiresome rants about freedom and liberty and american values, in the end all they really wanted was an authoritarian strongman who is hates the right minorities and is willing to be a dick to people's faces.
 
TODAY you like the Dems' chances. Next week, you'll be rooting for Trump. We've all seen how fast your weather changes. Just like Chicago. ;)

If, by some miracle, Trump does actually give power back to the people, I'd be more than happy to support him. Of course, the problem is that Trump will not do that. but, every once in a while, he will fool us all into believing he just might.

If only that made sense...
 
(Sigh) Despite all your (and the article's author's) hyperbolic language designed to "wake people up," Mr. Trump is neither a dictator (some people should really look up the terms they casually throw out to demonize others), nor a moron.

He is a duly elected President acting within the scope and powers of the office seeking in his first few days (this is day 10) to take administrative action on as many of his election promises as he can.

He is also the same person he always was before and during his candidacy for office.

I read that article, and just because the person who wrote it is a "conservative" does not give him any special credibility. Many conservative Republicans opposed Trump's candidacy, and we have a number who happily speak out against him here in our Forum.

I am not on board with some of Mr. Trump's policies, especially regarding education and abortion. I am on board with other's though, like Immigration, the Second Amendment, and repealing the ACA (although my personal preference is replacement with a single-payer program).

That's how it is with any President. You agree with some things they do, disagree with others, and are neutral about as many. Dissent is fine with me, I've engaged in it myself.

But the level of (forgive my characterization) blind emotional hatred being spewed as "opinion" appalls me. Literally everything he does is presented in the most negative light possible, without even minimal attempts at balance. There was even a thread in this forum started to malign him for refusing his $400,000 a year salary, alleging he would still find some way to make a profit out of his office. :roll:

I think history (unless it is written by a progressive-left society) will have more to say about this faux moral outrage coloring MSM and other opponents viewpoints than it will about a person who campaigned openly and unabashedly, and then strove to keep the promises he made while in office.

So you are on board with banning Muslims only from Countries that TrumpCo has no business with while changing nothing in the countries that have actually exported terrorists that have attacked America? How does that add up in your mind? How is it even "keeping his promises" when he said he wanted a TOTAL ban on Muslims just a month ago?
 
Do you recall what happened to Congress when that president stepped over the line? It switched from D to R in a few short years.

I would not be surprised to see that happen again, but the other way. What you see now is the Left going Tea Bagger.
Its the American people's call. But you may be surprised that, unlike the O bomb, Trump does not end up despised and have all he creates get the quick boot.

I mean the O bomb's legacy is almost snap your fingers fast... Gone.

My guess is you are wrong. Trump is already despised by independents. Obama's job approval with them never dropped much below 50%. The only people who despised Obama were the right wing racists and Islamaphobes.

Ha ha ha hilarious. You probably believed all the polls before the election, too, I assume?

The polls that said Hillary would win the popular vote by 3-4%? Yeah, they were 100% accurate.
 
The polls also said Trump would not win the electoral.

You lost over 1000 political seats during Obama's boondoggle.

You'll give them right back during the buffoon years.
 
Can you back up this claim, or just keep throwing the same BS?

States often have little to do with the politics of presidential elections.

Best thing about Trump is that he will remind people why Republicans should never be given the keys to anything important.
 
Must be a day ending in "Y" with another retarded OP from Calamity.

1) Funny, I thought Hillary would be a moron dictator. Of course with you, only leftist views matter, right?

2) How egotistical and bigoted to think that only your principles matter.
What about the millions of people who DON'T want porous borders? I guess their principles don't count.
What about the millions of people who DON'T want our country run by the United Nations and their "USA last" attitude? I guess their principles don't count.
What about the millions of people who DIDN'T want a corrupt, crooked career politician steering us off the economic cliff? I guess their principles don't count.

These Chicken Little OP's are getting worse.
 
A nonsensical reply. Figures.


Actually, it makes a hell of a lot of sense, notwithstanding you little troll maneuver.

You're all smug now. Trump is making headlines, yahoo for America!


But in time, and I suspect soon, you're going to realize that America is also making new enemies, many from what was the column of allies. Tourists here have already complained, some visitors have been refused service in a restaurant. And you war hawks are always dumbstruck when you find out people hate you because you invaded them.

Oh you mean banning refugees from those countries that Obama decided were a threat. Funny how you leave that part out.

What does this have to do with Obama? He's not the President. What it is a sham that does not make us any safer. In fact it is more likely to rile up the radicals. It's PR dream come true for them.
