I read this post today and found it interesting so here it goes, if the @moderators find it harsh they can delete it. This post is not open for debate. I have listened to everyone else’s hatred, rhetoric and outright lies for the last four years, so now I am having my say. If you don’t like it, you know where the delete button is.
Let me be clear, I am not a Biden fan. I think he is corrupt, a liar, a racist bigot, is in bed with China and probably suffering from dementia. He has done nothing to improve anything in his 47-year political career.
But what has Trump done in the past 4 years?
The “arrogant” in the White House brokered four Middle East Peace Accords, something that 71 years of political intervention and endless war failed to produce.
The “buffoon” in the White House is the first president that has not engaged us in a foreign war since Eisenhower.
The “racist” in the White House has had the greatest impact on the economy, bringing jobs, and lowering unemployment to the Black and Latino population of ANY other president. Ever.
The “liar” in the White House has exposed the deep, widespread, and long-standing corruption in the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, and the Republican and Democratic parties.
The “buffoon” in the White House turned NATO around and had them start paying their dues.
The “fool” in the White House neutralized the North Koreans and stopped them sending missiles toward Japan, and threatening the West Coast of the US.
The “xenophobe” in the White House turned our relationship with the Chinese around, brought hundreds of business back to the US, and revived the economy.
This same “clown” lowered your taxes, increased the standard deduction on your IRS return from $12,500 to $24,400 for married couples and caused the stock market to rise to record levels, positively impacting the retirement accounts of tens of millions of citizens.
The “clown” in the White House fast-tracked the development of multiple COVID Vaccines which are now available or will be soon. And yet we still don’t have a vaccine for SARS, Bird Flu, Ebola, or a host of diseases that arose during previous administrations.
The “clown” in the White House rebuilt our military which the Obama administration crippled and fired 214 key generals and admirals in his first year of office.
I got it, you don’t like him. Many of you utterly hate and despise him. How special of you. He is serving you and ALL the American people. What are you doing besides calling him names and laughing about him catching the China virus? Some of you were even hoping that COVID would be the cause of his demise. (Ah, the left. The party of “tolerance”. )
Please educate me again as to what Biden has accomplished for America in his 47 years in office, besides making the whole Biden family richer? By the way, where is Hunter?
I’ll take the “clown” any day versus a fork tongued, smooth talking hypocritical corrupt liar. I want a strong leader who isn’t afraid to kick some ass when needed. I don’t need a fatherly figure. I don’t need a liar. That’s what Hollywood, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and the New York Times are for.
Call me a chump, a racist, or part of the basket of deplorables. I do not care!
God bless Donald Trump - the best, most unappreciated President in U.S. history.
Feel free to copy/paste, I did.
Neither is using your own… in my mind anyway.
Lol, well done
That is one of the best posts I have seen here sir. Bravo!
And do you think practicality is on anyone’s mind in such a moment. Harming you any way they can is. Biometrics don’t belong in this space until they are decades better than they are today. And then…what if you’re out with your bride. The bad guys get you and you had the firearm set to work for only you. Your bride can’t fire it. It isn’t hers. Should she throw it at the bad guys, call 911, wait 15 minutes, then decide what to do next?
Daniel, I like that you’re thinking abotu this (as am I) but these arguements don’t make much sense to me. You seem to think that bad guys are like good guys. Think of them as animals driven by lizard brain…then come back with some ideas.
Liberals are a dying breed. But you can still find them on the range. Politicians who oppose the Bill of Rights aren’t liberal.
Calling me names doesn’t change anything or enlighten anyone. Disagree with what I say if you want. Labeling me is just wrong. You should withdraw this comment.
I want to shake your hand and buy you a beer. You worded that perfectly.
Yes. We know it, and They know it, and They know their king-elect has no clothes. That makes them jealous and very, very mad.
I see the big difference between your perspectives and many of my like-minded people. You will willingly accept government control of many aspects of your life. We won’t. I define freedom differently than you. Please note that i don’t count that as a bad thing, but I do count it as the way many of the under-40 crowd has been indoctrinated through our schools, news, and Hollywood productions. I am old enough to remember the days of a much better freedom, and i can’t willingly accept the type of controls that you apparently will.
One thing that distinguishes you from me is that I am angered by anyone accepting the type of government that is now free to form. I served in two wars fighting against governments like the one that is now controlling congress and the executive branch. Perhaps you might see how that can be so disturbing for me?
I know that changes happen. Maybe it is a good thing that we old folks die off. Events like those that just happened allow me to see that day with anticipated relief. However, until that day happens; i will resist those upcoming government controls.
Guns don’t kill people. People do.
Biden and Harris know nothing of firearms nor laws surrounding firearms. It’s Beto O’Roark that is standing behind both Biden and Harris whispering in their ears. O’Roark is the flame behind the gun control proposal.
B & H are just puppets repeating O’Roarks words. O’Roark spent the last few years finding all the holes the Obama’s administration didn’t plug during the failed Brady bill. If you pay close attention to any
B & H interview or speeches on the gun control proposal, they’re both stuttering and repetitive w no real detail. Then watch O’Roark’s interviews. Very detailed and educated.
How can you say Shotgun Joe knows nothing about firearms? He’s the one that taught us to fire into the air.
Four years ago, what was our choice?
What do you do when you are offered two choices, neither one of which you want?
Helplessly, we kept electing our representatives who went to Washington and then did nothing for us as we watched our country slide into oblivion. Many of us didn’t like it, but we voted for the man who was obviously talented, beholding to no one but us, and who was NOT part of the big political machine that kept letting us down.
We didn’t like it, ( many of us ), but we made the best choice we had available to us, and frankly, it wasn’t a difficult decision to figure out, it just wasn’t everything we might have wished for. Then as time went on we were rewarded by more accomplishments and achievements than we had even dreamed were possible, and, as for that bad side, we were also treated to a four year long tantrum by the opposition where we saw behaviors both unprecedented and inexcusable, where the opposition seemed to abandon all normal rules of conduct and began an assault upon our character and values like has rarely been seen in modern times.
It has now become a sin to be of the wrong color as much, or more so, than it has ever been, the only thing that has changed is which color is currently out of favor , furthermore, the opposition has engaged in all the behaviors it claims to be fighting against. Fighting fire with fire, or in this case, quite literally, fighting hate and bigotry with even more fervent hate and bigotry of their own.
Make no mistake, I didn’t vote for Trump, I voted for my country and the values and freedoms all our veterans fought to preserve, Trump was just the name on the ballot that gave the most promise of actually trying to protect and defend that freedom, and those values. I didn’t care for the manner in which I thought he might behave, but that was not the primary concern. His actual performance, buried and ignored this whole time, was actually shockingly good, more than I’d dare hope for, but the manufactured hatred for him overshadowed everything else, even as the smoke from riot and fires filled our skies.
The opposition has told us in no uncertain terms what they intend to do. The have treated others with a hatred, disdain, and lack or respect that rivals anything we have seen in modern times.
There is every reason to believe that our rights will be stripped.
For one, because many of our rights have already been stripped. Freedom of speech is now only for the one viewpoint, and not for the other, censorship and public reprisals are a fact of life now, as the opposition well knows, and enjoys.
And Two. Because those now about to take power, have told us plainly, and boldly, what they intend to do. It’s not me who says they intend to strip me of more rights, It is THEY who say it of themselves! They simply claim that doing so is for the greater good, and is in the interests of justice for all, the same as all previous despots and dictators have done when they too stripped power from the people, and secured it unto themselves.
It breaks my heart to see the anger and division we have now. And for the record, I will say this: I may have voted for Trump, but not for the reasons people claim I did, and I am not what they claim I am just because I made that choice.
Sin though it may now be, I loved my country, and wanted to protect it, not just for my self, but for everyone, everyone’s freedom and everyone’s rights, weather I agreed with them, or not.
Well done sir, thank you for the effort you put into that. Perhaps this is why the opposition has to shout so loudly and obnoxiously, because there is much they must obscure!
Apparently you are not that fearful of that outcome or you would not be carrying. Ironic that you want government to dictate what you can carry, but you exercised your right and chose what to carry on your own.
I have several very good solutions to preventing a criminal from overpowering you and using your firearm against you:
Put a trigger lock on it while carrying
Don’t carry with a magazine in it
Don’t carry at all.
Many people do not believe there is such an animal. If that becomes law, will you meekly go away? Or will you still believe you have a “right” to self-defense?
One more - put a cork in it, in the business end of the barrel.
Bravo sir. As usual, you so eloquently write what so many of us feel and think. You have captured what patriots feel to be a nearly hopeless situation in our world. Where right is wrong and all that is wrong has been made right.
Truth, honor, duty and what is good are inverted. Patriotism and love of country is a punchline to the bolshivek. They detest people like us so very much.
We are now, more so than before, a marked and targeted people to them. They feel emboldened.
We are to be punished.
The beginning of the END…
I keep thinking back to the quote from the HYDRA agent to Captain America…
Something to the affect of “A nation attacked & destroyed by external forces can recover. But, if a nation is attacked & destroyed from within, there’s no coming back from there.”
I have said that, in my 39 years, I have experienced some stuff growing up in the South. I have never seen or felt the division that I see today. I like Tucker Carlson. I don’t like or agree with everything he says & I think he’s off here. Personal liberties have been, as others have mentioned, eroded since the so-called PATRIOT ACT (Bush years)! It will continue with the incoming regime, in my opinion.
I have considered voting Republican in the Presidential elections. But, if I, by my vote, am giving approval to what happened at The Capitol Building, then I will remain a non-participant in the political process.
