Letter in the NY Times

Post by LovelyLadyLux »

This is a cut and paste letter in the NY Times. Dunno who wrote it and while it focuses on the Trump/Obama, Republican/Democrat, right/left issues I found it interesting so thought I'd share. It also applies to Canada too as we're all headed down an extremely slippery slope of governance.

This is the best I've seen- and it's from the NY Times. Even intelligent Democrats are tired of this nonsense and realize it does nothing to help their cause.

It's to be hoped that every wild-eyed liberal devotee of the New York Times reads liberal columnist Maureen Dowd's column several Times, reproduces it in large print, frames it, and mounts it on their bedroom ceiling so it's the first thing they read every day.  The most amazing part of this well written piece is the fact Maureen Dowd, a very liberal  columnist from the New York Times wrote it!

Election Therapy From My Basket of Deplorables
By Maureen Dowd

The election was a complete repudiation of Barack Obama: his fantasy world of political correctness, the politicization of the Justice Department and the I.R.S., an out-of-control E.P.A., his neutering of the military, his nonsupport of the police and his fixation on things like transgender bathrooms. Since he became president, his party has lost 63 House seats, 10 Senate seats and 14 governorships.

The country had signaled strongly in the last two midterms that they were not happy. The Dems’ answer was to give them more of the same from a person they did not like or trust.

Preaching — and pandering — with a message of inclusion, the Democrats have instead become a party where incivility and bad manners are taken for granted, rudeness is routine, religion is mocked and there is
absolutely no respect for a differing opinion. This did not go down well in the Midwest, where Trump flipped three blue states and 44 Electoral votes.

The rudeness reached its peak when Vice President-elect Mike Pence was booed by attendees of “Hamilton” and then pompously lectured by the cast. This may play well with the New York theater crowd but is
considered boorish and unacceptable by those of us taught to respect the office of the president and vice president, if not the occupants.

Here is a short primer for the young protesters. If your preferred candidate loses, there is no need for mass hysteria, canceled midterms, safe spaces, crying rooms or group primal screams. You might understand this better if you had not received participation trophies, undeserved grades to protect your feelings or even if you had a proper understanding of civics. The Democrats are now crying that Hillary had more popular votes. That can be her participation trophy.

If any of my sons had told me they were too distraught over a national election to take an exam, I would have brought them home the next day, fearful of the instruction they were receiving.  Not one of the top 50
colleges mandate one semester of Western Civilization.

Maybe they should rethink that.

Mr. Trump received over 62 million votes, not all of them cast by Homophobes, Islamaphobes, racists, sexists, misogynists or any other “ists.” I would caution Trump deniers that all of the crying and whining is not good preparation for the coming storm. The liberal media, both print and electronic, has lost all credibility. I am
reasonably sure that none of the mainstream print media had stories prepared for a Trump victory. I watched the networks and cable stations in their midnight   meltdown — embodied by Rachel Maddow explaining to viewers that they were not having a “terrible, terrible dream” and that they had not died and “gone to hell.”

The media’s criticism of Trump’s high-level picks as “not diverse enough” or “too white and male” — a day before he named two women and offered a cabinet position to an African-American — magnified this fact.

Here is a final word to my Democratic friends. The election is over. There will not be a do-over. So let me bid farewell to Al Sharpton, Ben Rhodes and the Clintons. Note to Cher, Barbra, Amy Schumer and Lena Dunham: Your plane is waiting. And to Jon Stewart, who talked About moving to another planet: Your spaceship is waiting. To Bruce Springsteen, Jay Z, Beyoncé and Katy Perry, thanks for the free concerts. And finally, to all the foreign countries that contributed to the Clinton Foundation, there will not be a payoff or a rebate.

As Eddie Murphy so eloquently stated in the movie “48 Hrs.”: “There’s a new sheriff in town.” And he is going to be here for 1,461 days.

To his credit, Trump straight talks. :up And even Putin credited him for that.

The right, the totally politically correct, those who have taken the extreme and are willing to scream outloud and trash whatever when they don't get their way combined with a President who favored and coddled this have produced Trump.
