We barely survived Obama. Hillary would have regarded her "inevitability" as an affirmation of Obama's evil behavior and as a mandate for her to go farther. Hillary is a true believer socialist, while Obama was a socialist leaning lazy fool with gutter fighting instincts and Chicago influence.
Hillary came out of Illinois, too, before she went to Arkansas.
I keep coming back to Liberal control of all means of broadcasting to the American people. These "sheeple" were manufactured by the Liberal Broadcasting system. They were created because they were programed with crap fed to them by the only system really capable of reaching these sorts of numbers.
The people are stupid because the media keeps knowledge from them that they need to know to make sensible decisions.
The people could have been educated by more conservative media, to be sure, but the real foe is in the education system, now from K-PhD. Credentialed folks don't learn anything about HOW to think, they are only force fed WHAT to think, and expected to parrot that back. Failure to do so results in poor grades. Success is achieved by spewing back the liberal line, chapter and worse, and independent thought will not make it past oral defense or the review board for a higher level degree. The result is that many of the 'experts' media call upon to bolster the Liberal Lie are now products of prestigious institutions and spew the same stuff they lapped up back when, ensuring the propagation of a tsunami of stupid.
An educated public, aware of how to think, would reject most of the nonsense on television and in print out of hand, given some background material at most.
It is a stop gap measure until we can get access to the information broadcasting systems, or until alternative systems can come into their own sufficient to destroy the effectiveness of the broadcasting systems currently under liberal control.
I keep saying this. Till we get some means of getting information to the American people that can help them make better decisions, we are going to keep losing ground.
Again, Trump is a stop gap measure. The real war needs to be fought over who controls the airwaves.
The real war is an intellectual insurgency. Stopgaps are like bandages, they might staunch the flow of blood, but they do not suture the wound. Keep in mind that those who have wrought this mess in America have ever had and declared from the farthest reaches of their party ideology their ultimate goals.
They have ever fought to bring things closer to that global socialist ideal, where it would work better than anything else if it was just the only thing out there. It is what they have in common with the whole concept of
dar al Islam where there is peace because there is no one left to fight with, and perhaps why they get along, each using the other to move closer to their goals.
In resisting that, we need to keep in mind our goals, too, not in the short term, not as a stopgap, but in terms of the complete recovery to an originalist Constitutional Republic. That is the full measure of success, and without that, fractional achievements seem less like stopgap compromises or mere steps in the right direction, but become a goal in themselves, and a point of satisfaction and complacency. No, it is just a step along a long path back.
Those who decry those who stick to principle and advocate that as everything from extremists to baby killers are misdirecting their efforts which should be aimed at the ideological enemy and attacking those who are setting the bar for an eventual goal.
I guess when one's philosophies lie in the middle, the feeling of being surrounded is inevitable, but the IFF needs some work. So, the report card shows an improvement of a letter grade. Nice that the 'F' is gone, and that's progress, but we aren't going to settle for a 'D' or even a 'C', we want to see 'A's.
