Merry Christmas! I refuse to let the America haters win this holiday season!

After I published my article last week, I needed to go to my local Home Depot to purchase some building supplies for a project I am working on for a friend. I pulled into the parking lot at about 10:45 A.M. on “Black Friday”. I am 71 years old and have never seen a Home Depot parking lot this full! I was driving my older heavy-duty Chevy Silverado hunting and work project truck and pulling a 5’ x 8’ utility trailer. With the trailer attached I had trouble finding a parking space! As I looked for a parking space, I noticed men, women and families loading shopping and lumber carts full of all sorts of merchandise including large stuffed animals, Christmas decorations, tools, and even live decorative poinsettia plants into a wide variety of vehicles. And yes, there were also people like me buying building materials, including those in line at the licensed contractor checkout loading area.

When I did find a place to park and got inside it was literally standing room only in some parts of the store. And, like the overflowing parking lot, I have never seen so many orange aprons (Home Depot employees). It was obvious that Home Depot had gone on a well thought out “hiring and training spree”. I had to wait in a queue for an employee to find me a lumber cart and help me load the materials I needed on it. Yet everyone I interacted with in this practically overwhelming retail environment was cheerful and professional. The young lady that checked me out even said “Merry Christmas” to me with a bright smile when she handed me my receipt and credit card back. The young man that helped me fill my order waited for me to check out and then pushed the lumber cart out to the parking lot, helped me load my truck and trailer and then said, “Merry Christmas Sir”. Note: this is a free-standing Home Depot building supply, appliance and garden center store in western Georgia! It is not in a retail mall!

As I wrote earlier, I had just published my weekly article where I listed a lot of very positive things I see happening in America, and how I had made a conscious decision to not let the America hating Left (Democrats, MSM, and RINO Republicans) succeed in making me be in a negative mood this Holiday season! There is too much GOOD happening in America now to allow the Left to suppress my optimism! This positive experience reaffirmed to me that I had made the right decision to focus on everything GOOD that is happening in America. And then over the  weekend, and into the first part of this week, every time I turned on the TV or logged into the internet, it became obvious that I was going to need positive experiences like this if I was going to be able to stay on track with having a positive holiday season and trying to share it with everyone I came in contact with.

It is increasingly obvious to me that the better things get in America the ANGRIER the “America haters” become!  In some instances, “ANGRY” is not a strong enough word to describe the Left’s behavior. It would also be inaccurate to try and use the words REASON or TRUTH when trying to communicate with the Left or understand how they can be so dishonest in their effort to distort the facts about what is really happening in America! Here are two recent examples of how dishonest and disgusting the Left is now:

  • Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith was in a Mississippi runoff for her Senate seat against Mike Espy, a former member of the Clinton Administration. Another Republican candidate got enough votes in the primary election to force the top two vote finishers in the primary to compete in a runoff (Mississippi has a “jungle” primary system where all candidates can run). When complimenting the host of a fund raiser that she was attending during her campaign Hyde-Smith said. “I think so much of him that if he asked me to attend a public hanging I would sit in the front row”. THE RACE CARD IMMEDIATELY CAME OUT ALL OVER THE COUNTRY! She was immediately accused of being racist and deliberately misquoted to support their ridiculous claim. The Left has constantly claimed that she used the word “lynching” instead of the phrase “public hanging”. Public hangings were legal capital punishment, lynchings were murder. She did use a poor choice of words, but this does not make her a racist. Unfortunately, deliberately misquoting someone for political gain is “standard operating procedure” for the Left. Update: Senator Hyde-Smith won the runoff by a comfortable margin.
  • When a large band of illegals tried to cross the border into California the Border Patrol agents working that section of the border were outnumbered “hundreds to one”. When the Border Patrol stood their ground and enforced the border the illegals became violent and began to attack the agents with projectiles like rocks, pieces of concrete, and even pieces of the border fence, while yelling obscenities at them. Several of the agents were injured and several of the Border Patrol vehicles were damaged by the projectiles. The illegals became so violent that the agents had to use pepper spray to try to stop the attack and then had to use tear gas to keep them from breaching the border. The Left’s immediate response was to loudly compare the Border Patrol to the Nazi massacre of the Jews and accusing them of “using chemicals of war against people who only wanted a better life for themselves, including women and children”. The last accusation came from a sitting U.S. Congressman. The Border Patrol supervisor responsible for that area of the border said that NOT ONE OF THE ILLEGALS APPROACHED THE BORDER AND ASKED FOR ASYLUM? The supervisor also said the group that tried to violently cross the border was almost totally male. A FOX NEWS crew that was at the border interviewed several of the illegals involved in the attempt to cross the border. They reported that no one that they talked to said they wanted asylum in the U.S. They all said that they just wanted to come to America to work for a few years. The FOX crew also confirmed that the group at this attempted border crossing was almost totally male.

 

Beginning Sunday evening and on into the week the Left (the Democrats, the MSM, and the RINO Republicans) literally filled the airwaves and the internet with nasty comments like the examples above. As I see all the good things that are happening in America now, I find myself wondering how there could be so much hatred like this for America? But I now accept the fact that the Left will stop at nothing to “fundamentally change America”. We cannot let that happen!

Note: From this point forward, I am going to say “Merry Christmas” to people I interact with, not the P.C. “Happy Holidays”!

 

Can the Left Really be as Self-Absorbed Anti-American as it’s Behavior Indicates?

With a little more than a week until the final ballot count of one of the most important elections in our lifetime, the Left’s behavior is becoming even more self-absorbed and anti-American. The 24/7 news cycle has become a constant stream of people on the Left saying and doing things that are completely irrational or 180 degrees different from what they said or did in the past. Many times their irrational behavior is in front of TV Cameras or with a microphone in their face. It appears they do not know that what they say in front of TV cameras or say into a microphone is being recorded? Obviously these people think that they are immune from ever facing any consequences for their actions. Based on what I see in the 24/7 news cycle their feeling of self- empowerment and belief in a total lack of consequences for their actions has become an epidemic in America. Here are few recent examples:

  • The Florida Democratic candidate for governor, Andrew Gillum denied any wrong doing in any of his actions as the mayor of Tallahassee, Florida. When asked about his interactions with a person who wanted special consideration for developing some property in Tallahassee he flatly denied the allegations and loudly insisted that he had always worked hard and earned everything he ever got. When information was recently made public that the “developer” was an undercover FBI investigator and that Gillum was the subject of an investigation, he loudly denied any wrong doing and played the “race card”. He continues to deny the allegations even though the information from the investigation, including text messages, e-mails and other documents, prove that he accepted gifts from the “developer” and approved a potentially lucrative deal for the “developer” in Tallahassee. He continues to play the “race card” publicly and even doubled down with public statements that his Republican opponent is “supported by racist groups”. When asked if he was openly saying that his opponent is racist he said, “no but his support from racist groups proves that the groups think he is”. Gillum is a graduate of an eighteen-month Socialist education program in California funded by George Soros and has never had a job in the public sector. He has been in politics full time since he was 23 years old. Every policy that he advocates in his campaign for governor of Florida confirms that he is a textbook anti-American Socialist. In spite of all this the MSM and Democrat Party spokespersons insist that he is going to lead the “blue wave” in Florida on November 6!
  • Prominent Democrats, including Obama, Pelosi and Schumer continue to publicly attack everything President Trump and other Conservatives advocate, like protecting our borders, even though there is an endless stream of recorded media proving that they supported similar policies in the not too distant past when it benefited them personally. Is it really a coincidence that multiple “caravans” with thousands of people participating are attempting to walk thousands of miles with the belief that they are going to be able to cross our southern border and stay in America? In many cases these people only have the clothes on their back or a small back pack. Where are they getting food, water, clothing and shelter? Who inspired these “caravans” and who is supporting them? Is it a coincidence that these events are happening now at the same time as one of the most important elections in our lifetime? Prominent Democrats and the MSM are all loudly attacking the Trump Administration for its insistence that these people will not be allowed into America. No one on the Left, including the MSM will admit that the Obama Administration called out the National Guard to try and slow down the flood of illegal immigrants trying to cross our southern border, or that Obama separated children from their parents when they were taken into custody at the border. Is this 180-degree change in the Left’s public positions a true change in their beliefs as to what is good for America?
  • There has been an endless stream of people on the Left, including the MSM, using every form of media available calling for public “push back” against members of the Trump Administration and other Conservatives. In many cases this call for public “push back” has been specific regarding public assaults against anyone and anything Conservative. The incidences of public verbal assaults, and in some cases physical assaults, against Conservatives has dramatically escalated since President Trump was elected. In many instances Conservative‘s family members and their property have been the victims of these assaults. The Left’s call for “push back” against Conservatives has become so viral that it inspired ANTIFA and BLM to reappear in public violent and destructive demonstrations demanding that America become a socialist country. While all these attacks on Conservatives were happening the Left, including the MSM refused to condemn it or even acknowledge it. However, now that prominent members of the Left who publicly advocated violence against everything Conservative are the subject of what appears to be targeted bomb attacks, they loudly blame all the violence on President Trump’s rhetoric. Pelosi and Schumer even issued a joint public statement attacking President Trump’s public statements condemning the current bomb threats against people on the Left. Is it really a coincidence that these (apparently fake) bomb threats are happening this close to the last day of the November 6 mid-term elections? Is President Trump really solely and personally responsible for them?
  • When President Trump declared that he was a “Nationalist” in his personal beliefs the Left, including the MSM immediately went viral with the same message. The message was that President Trump just publicly declared that he is a “White Nationalist” and was just choosing to leave off the “White” part of the title in a feeble attempt to be P.C.! None of the textbook definitions of “Nationalist” support the Left’s immediate jump to this conclusion!

As I watched and listened to everything that is happening in America right now it occurred to me that none of it is a coincidence! It looks to me like the Left has decided that they are ready to shred our Constitution and make America be part of their dream of having a “One World Order”. And they can do this after they take over our Government at every level on November 7, 2018! We cannot let that happen! Vote and vote Republican during the November 6 elections!
