Deeply personal insults to President Trump, such as the LA Times editorial board is currently publishing, may salve their wounds, but they don’t alter the obvious fact that liberal Democrats refuse to, or are unable to recognize the essential message of this past presidential election.
The near hysterical hatred of President Trump by the liberal press may serve as whistling past the graveyard, but it doesn’t alter the fact that to the last man and woman they refuse to accept the meaning of this past election.
The conniving of Congressional Democrats, and not just a few Republicans, to thwart the President’s agenda – one notarized by millions of voters from virtually every party – may satisfy their need to believe they are appearing holier-than-all to their constituents, but it doesn’t. They, too, refuse to acknowledge the essential message of this past election.
By now, one might have thought the shock of the Democrat’s “sure winner” losing the election, and this after spending more than a billion dollars in more than a year’s worth of constant mocking, derision, denigration and taunting candidate Trump, his family and supporters, would have begun to subside. But it appears just the opposite has happened. A gang of millions have shook hands on a pact to bring down President Trump. Cut him no slack, no matter what. He’s a liar. He’s a Putin puppet. He’s a bully who hates women, blacks, immigrants and anyone who doesn’t like golf.
Now what exactly is this message the gang refuses to acknowledge? To any of us who open our eyes and ears, the message is as clear as the Liberty Bell.
The nation’s traditionalists and conservatives have been shouting into the wind for several decades at least, pleading with the Democratic Party to put the brakes on in its obsessive and relentless push to the political left; at least for awhile. But the pleas fell upon deaf ears. Why did the left rebuff every plea made by the other side? Not necessarily to change liberal philosophy, or their agenda... just to slow it down so America could assimilate and adjust to the changing political landscape. But the last eight years of leftward rush, of clearly leftist biased regulation and legal adjudication were enough to create the Trump movement. Passing enormously complicated laws like the ACA without critical review, ramming it through Congress in the middle of the night does not engender trust, especially with the kind of results Americans are seeing.
As a result, Republicans now constitute the majority leadership, and as I have written in the past, every new president must spend a good portion of his term correcting the mistakes of his predecessor. Yet there seems to be a reluctance to listen to the very people who elected this new Republican Congress. When conservatives see this reaction to their vote, when they see the flat-out hatred of their President by a gang of millions, they can’t help believing that this hatred is also aimed at them.
So Democrats and liberal press will go on pushing phony scandals, deriding those on the right, and double-down on their pact to impeach the President; they will continue to refuse to acknowledge the true reason why they do not have the reins for now at least. They should not at all be surprised. It’s how they have always governed. After all, in their superiority, they have no doubt that they are right about everything; that no one else could possibly have a solution to any of our problems. Republican’s ideas have been ignored. Then adding insult to injury, Democrats accuse the Republicans of having no solutions.
Is that what The Constitution guarantees? That nature, in her infinite wisdom, endowed only Democrats with the ability to comprehend complex issues? That only those degreed with uber-liberal philosophy may lead? That the ability to reason and lead with sympathetic moral sentiment lies only within those who argue for leftist causes? That you, Democrats, and no one else, must be right, and in charge, all of the time?
