Trump base shows signs of cracking

[Emjay]

I am. Its been a pleasure to watch someone actually fight the Left...a rare thing.

That is the thing I am really enjoying about the Trump presidency. 

I mean, I think he's been a really decent president so far in spite of his personal idiosyncrasies but it just makes me so happy to see how the people I despise are driven completely insane by Donald Trump and there's not a dam thing they can do about it.

He may tweet a couple of petulant protests but he's going about his business, making speeches giving credit to cops, giving kudos to our military and now going all over the middle east.

And he will be welcome in Israel unlike the last POS.

Perhaps go with a nonsensical answer next time.

When I spoke of the people I despise, I didn't mean anyone here ... well maybe one or two ... I mean the leftist pigs.

There are really annoying things about some people here but maybe not rising to the level of despicable.

He won't understand that reference......

[Mesaclone]

He won't understand that reference......

Please, everyone understands the reference (Luke 4:23). But citing an axiom when it bears no relevance is...well...not a rational thing to do. Particularly when the "caller" is more in need of self-correction than the "callee".

I see you're right.

I figured you would.   Losing cause, arguing with that one about truth.....

Nearly all that's wrong in this world stems from those who believe they have a monopoly on Truth. Such people are always wrong in their certitude. In fact their wrongness can be measured in an exponentially expansive ratio to their certitude.

Yet you are certain you are right. 

[INVAR]

Your principles, are not more godly or more ethical or better than anyone else on this board. Your denial of that basic truth is symptomatic of the death of civil discourse in this country and a huge part of why people can no longer disagree without declaring others to be evil.

Projection on a grand scale on your part, given your history and behavior.

This is the primary tactic of the socialist Left....in their minds...they are right in their principles and anyone who disagrees is evil or a fool...and likely, both. Its the opposite of the intention of the FF's that we have civil disagreement and rational discourse. Just very unfortunate.

Once again you demonstrate your deliberate willful distortion of the Founders and Patriarchs.  In your estimation, they too must have been using Socialist Left tactics because in their discourses they did not leave any ambiguity about disagreement with their advisements.

"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim tribute to patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness -- these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. . . . reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principles." - George Washington

"Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles." - Patrick Henry


"It is alleged by men of loose principles, or defective views of the subject, that religion and morality are not necessary or important qualifications for political stations. But the scriptures teach a different doctrine. They direct that rulers should be men who rule in the fear of God, men of truth, hating covetousness. It is to the neglect of this rule that we must ascribe the multiplied frauds, breaches of trust, speculations and embezzlements of public property which astonish even ourselves; which tarnish the character of our country and which disgrace our government. When a citizen gives his vote to a man of known immorality, he abuses his civic responsibility; he not only sacrifices his own responsibility; he sacrifices not only his own interest, but that of his neighbor; he betrays the interest of his country." - Noah Webster

Statesmen, my dear Sir, may plan and speculate for Liberty, but it is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free Constitution is pure Virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our People in a greater Measure than they have it now, They may change their Rulers and the forms of Government, but they will not obtain a lasting Liberty. They will only exchange Tyrants and Tyrannies." - John Adams


"The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God". - John Adams to Thomas Jefferson, June 28, 1813.

Well said!

You describe yourself flawlessly as one whose every post is drenched in arrogant certitude!

[geronl]

I think a lot of the problems in this world are caused by people who don't really believe in "truth"/

We're all right, except those who disagree with me and those who quote Bible verses to explain to me why I'm wrong.

Especially for those who think some of us are getting overly hysterical about the media war against Trump ...

The lead story on Yahoo this morning is a video supposedly showing Melania brushing away Trump's hand. 

Melania is looking straight ahead (and looking dang good also).  They are walking along together and Trump makes a motion to reach for her hand which she doesn't notice.  She does NOT brush it away.

In any case, what makes this the lead story on Yahoo?  The incessant pounding of the media against Trump. 

[Emjay]

 

You might want to explain those symbols a little more clearly....

[bolobaby]

Well, this part of the Trump base clearly doesn't care that much for him...

[Emjay]

Thank goodness you had the time to find that picture.  You should have posted the video.  It clearly shows there was no intent to ignore the offered hand.

This whole thing is illustrative of Trump hate ..... why are you joining with the media?

[INVAR]

Okay ENOUGH.....

How about this.... We're "joining the media" because we want to.   How about that?

We're joining the media in hating on Trump even AFTER you were the one who brought up yet another I-Don't-Give-A-Sh*t-Trite-Miniscule-Reason to scream about a Presspocalypse about Trump.  We don't give a sh*t whether or not someone holds his hand or not.  We frankly don't care the Yahoo is making a big deal about it.

But fine.  We've "joined the media" to hate on Trump.

What you gonna do about it besides bitch and moan?

I got an idea, why not petition your leader to get rid of the First Amendment?

That ought to create the utopia you seek.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Well, this part of the Trump base clearly doesn't care that much for him...

 

Ah, you found a picture with the President moving to greet someone ..... Here, @bolobaby this video should make you feel better. It's filled with the President and FLOTUS holding hands.   I'm sure it'll bring a smile to your heart.

Did Yahoo or did they not scan a video to find some evidence  or what they thought was evidence of Melania brushing off Trump.  They did.

As far as the First Amendment goes, it is not a license to lie about people.  Lawsuits are being filed now about that and that's a good thing.  The right to free speech does not entitle one to libel.

I don't seek Utopia ... not here on earth but I do not consider bitching and moaning to be what I do.

I consider it to be what YOU do.

I fully agree that the media is pounding Trump (though I'm sad that he keeps giving them low hanging fruit to use against him).

I fully disagree that he looks "dang good."  Looks the same as he always has.  Stupid hair, paunch, bad posture, weird fish-like expression......

As for me, I'm not "joining" anyone to go after Trump.  I was opposed to him when the media was in love with him as one of their own......

As far as I'm concerned, if anything, they've joined me.......
