Thinker2 -> The real face of the Democrats (6/1/2017 8:50:35 PM)

I am a Republican. A middle of the road Republican. Might be the last middle of the road ANYTHING left in this country. I believe in facts and in history. I don't like hype. I believe in traditions. I think this is probably the last straw, the last shot across the bow, from the Democratic party. I am puzzled how people who claim to respect Democracy, who claim to value the process, who claim to believe in Freedom and in our country, can be so incredibly PETTY and SMALL minded. Miss Griffin's photo was literally the last straw. Trump was voted in fair and square, in a system that has been pretty much the same in its core for decades. He may have not won the popular vote, but he did win enough delegates to be elected President. In my understanding of history, this is the way it has pretty much almost always worked in this country. I remember listening to an NPR story and talking about the Clinton to Bush transition and how some government employees in DC were so angry that they took keys off keyboards on their way out to sabotage the new administration..... fair play.... I am sincerely appalled by the actions of these "freedom loving", "democracy supporting" people. Lets not talk about the property carnage of some recent marches, that can be "debated". Let's get specific. Madonna's comment of thinking a lot about blowing up the White House. Sarah Silverman calling for the armed forces to overthrow the government. And now Kathy Griffin posing with a bloody semblance of the President's head in just the way that militant Islamist have posed with the heads of so many beheaded Americans. All with retractions that sounded as sincere as OJ's testimony. How would the family of Steve Sotloff or James Foley feel about this? How about the families of American servicemen who fought and gave their lives in defense of this country? Where is the respect let alone love of this country? The respect for the Democratic process? The title? The office? Anything? I have seen two year olds in the midst of a tantrum more composed than that. I read in an article (I believe it was in Vox) after a tirade about President Trump that Miss Clinton won little less than 500 counties of about less than 3200 total, and that most of the ones that she won were affluent. I will not get into whitewater. I will not get into the email scandal. In my opinion those were good enough reasons for Miss Clinton NOT to get elected. Even though I am a Republican, I would have crossed party lines and voted for Bernie but the Democratic machine, wanted to shove Miss Clinton down our throat the way they did with President Obama. I came from Illinois before moving to Arizona, and his dirty laundry there is much more well known than in the rest of the country. I find it interesting, that people who are in the lifestyle unconditionally accepted President Obama, discounting the way he won his senate seat against Jack Ryan and the unsealing of Jack Ryan's custody papers. But hey, I guess "we Republicans" are not the only ones with blindspots.... I wonder why a party, which in its core has become judgmental, pretentious and arrogant, might have alienated the core of the American population. Traditionally blue states, came out and voted for Trump, a man who was not even embraced or endorsed by his own party. A man deeply flawed. IF I belonged in a party that lost to THAT man, I would be angry as well. Not because I lost, not because he won, but because that says something about what I have come to represent..... I guess, if you are struggling to make ends meet, and a Prius driving, coach totting, manolo wearing (this is a stereotype, not referring to Miss Clinton - or Lord forbid Miss Huffington) scolds you about not donating enough to Africa, polluting your environment with your 30 y/o old pickup -because you can't afford a new one- or yelling at your son for being an imperialist pig because his only way out of poverty was the army - surprise - you might not be very popular. I could not find the full scene from "My Fellow Americans" only the latter half, and it loses some of its meaning, but this is still good enough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uph1gHUBxhE I think the truth, is finally out. The "high moral ground" looks as dirty and muddy from "down here" as "us pigs" am sure look from "up there". Enjoy the view, and thank you for the mudslinging, now I don't have to pay for a spa day.
