Yesterday, across the nation, ignorance
once again reared its ugly head. People protesting against the legal,
constitutional election of Donald Trump to the Presidency staged
violent protests in at least 19 cities, setting fires and vandalizing
businesses. At least one police vehicle was burned and several
officers were injured.
The left screams that Trump is so bad,
that he encourages violence and racism. So they protest him by
destroying other people's property.
Trump has been called a misogynist, a
xenophobe, a homophobe and a racist – none of which are true.
Misogyny is defined as “dislike of,
contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women.” Because Trump
has made derogatory comments about women in the past, including the
comment he made in a supposed private conversation that was recorded
without his knowledge, he is labeled a misogynist. Yet thousands of
women who know him and/or work for him say that is simply untrue. And
who would know better – those women who know him or the media?
Unlike Hillary, Trump actually pays
women equally to their male counterparts. In some cases he pays women
more. Does that show dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice
against women?
Xenophobe is defined as “one unduly
fearful of what is foreign and especially of people of foreign
origin. Trump has been labeled that because he wants to stop illegal
immigration and wants to prevent potential terrorists from entering
the country without proper vetting. That's not xenophobia – it's
intelligent management of our borders.
Why would American citizens want
foreign nationals in the country illegally? We have to obey our laws
and the laws of other countries we visit. Why don't they? Have you
paid any attention to the protests against Trump in the last year?
You see Mexican flags being waved throughout the crowds – people in
our country waving a foreign flag. If they love that other country so
much why are they here?
Trump doesn't want Muslim refugees
brought into the country until they're properly vetted – if that's
even possible. Some think that's xenophobia. Have you taken a good
look at Europe? Europe is currently in turmoil because they opened
their borders to Muslim refugees. People, women in particular, are
being assaulted in record numbers by Muslim men. Why would we want
that here? Do you really believe it will be different just because
they come to the USA?
One person told me recently that Trump
is going to outlaw same-sex marriage. I'm not sure where that idea
came from (like the main stream, left-wing media) but Trump's stance
on same-sex marriage has always been to leave it up to the individual
states. He has said that over and over. But some don't seem to
understand.
And no, he's not going to overturn the
Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage. He does not have the
authority, as President, to overrule the Supreme Court. That can only
be done two ways – a Constitutional Amendment or a new Supreme
Court ruling. And neither of those are going to happen despite what
the media says.
Finally – Trump is being called a
racist for comments he made about the Southern border and Muslim
refugees. Trump said rapists and murderers are crossing our Southern
border from Mexico. That is absolutely a fact. Not everyone who
enters the country illegally is a rapist or murderer, nor did Trump
say they were. But how many are OK? Ask the parents of Kate Steinle,
who was murdered in California last year by an illegal who had been
deported five times yet was living in the sanctuary city of San
Francisco. Or ask the family of Marilyn Pharis, the 64 year old woman
who was murdered by an illegal alien after she was raped.
I could undoubtedly make a long list on
this page but I shouldn't have to. As I asked above – how many are
OK?
It's probably not worth pointing out
that Islam is not a race therefore, wanting to prevent Muslims from
entering the country is not racist. But why would anyone want to
prevent terrorists from entering the country? Do you enjoy the
bombings and mass shootings that are being perpetrated by Muslims?
Would you like more of them? I don't get it.
The desire to secure borders is not
racist. We are the only country in the world who doesn't enforce our immigration laws. It's not only
ridiculous it's pathetic. We allow foreign nationals to flood over
our border unimpeded and unvetted to our own peril. And spare me any
statement that “Obama has deported more illegals than any President
in history.” I know Border Patrol agents who verify that's simply
untrue. Why do you think it is that the Border Patrol union endorsed
Trump?
Trump is far from perfect. He wasn't
even my choice for President initially. He's crude, rude and often
obnoxious – although when he speaks from a prepared speech he does
pretty well. Gee – so does the current President...
Trump will surround himself with people
who get things done, just as he does in his business. Sure – he's
filed a few bankruptcies. Big deal. Chevrolet and Chrysler took
government bailouts to prevent them from doing that very thing. Are
they bad? Business is business and Trump's successes far outweigh his
few failures. He didn't become a billionaire by failing.
Trump hasn't been given a chance to do
anything yet. His plan for his first 100 days in office is quite
sound and worth reading if you haven't. He wants term limits for
Washington politicians. What could be bad about that? He wants to
renegotiate trade deals so that the United States actually benefits
from them instead of losing. Gee, that would suck. And he wants to
repeal Obamacare and create health care savings accounts that
Americans can participate in without being forced to buy something
they don't want or being fined... er, uh.... taxed if they don't.
And he wants to eliminate the state borders that currently prevent
insurance purchases outside one's state. Heartless.
Donald Trump has been elected legally
and constitutionally. Those who are violently protesting are proving
how ignorant they truly are. Typical, unwashed, liberal tolerance at
its best. Perhaps, once they get finished destroying things they can
retreat to their safe spaces and just stay there. Quietly.
