This has been making the rounds on several blogs, I saw it on American Spectator, and it resonated with me, the Gentleman wrote exactly what I felt, When President Obama won, I wasn't happy, but I rolled with it and accepted it because that is what Americans do, we accept the results and if you candidate don't win, well, you have 4 years to pull a better one out. And 4 years later, we tried again with Romney, and the 2012 election was his to lose, and when he allowed himself to get rolled in the 2nd debate by Candy Crowley and I knew it was over, he was too nice, the media was all in the tank for the messiah and it would take some one that was willing to get in the mud and fight back. Cue in the 2016 election, and Donald Trump threw his hat in the ring, at first the media treated him as a joke as he started talking and finetuning his message to the middle class, the ones that have been forgotten by all the globalization, the ones that have seen all the jobs go overseas and they have to take jobs at walmart to make ends meet. He tapped into that resentment and off to the races we went. Donald Trump fought back against the media and the democrats, all the dirty tricks, all the slime, he was "Teflon Don", and nothing stuck, because he wouldn't let nothing stick. And when he won against Felonia Von Pantsuit, the Designated successor for the Messiah's term, the Left exploded in Rage. the 20 years of globalization that was so close was almost at hand, 2 more terms with Felonia in charge and the illegals permanently ensconced and given voting privileges, the GOP would never win another election and power would be with the Democrats for generations and the United States would have been permanently lessened among nations as was the plan and globalization utopia was at hand.
This was written by Dov Fischer, and I pulled it off the American Spectator.
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to guard, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.
— Kohelet (Ecclesiastes) 3:1-8
Through eight years, I accepted the rules of the game. Obama was
president. He won fair and square because the Republicans serially put
up two milquetoast opponents who were incapable of offering a vision or
articulating a message that inspired. John McCain had been an American
wartime hero who stood by his men, refused early release, and withstood
torture in the “
Hanoi Hilton”
40 years earlier. But he had no business running for a presidency two
generations later for which he was not prepared to fight and for which
he had no vision. And then came Mitt Romney, his etch-a-sketch
candidacy, his binders full of women, and his Romneycare, which served
as the model for the Obamacare and which was the single most galvanizing
issue in 2012 for Republican conservatives. In order to throw out
Obamacare, the Republican Party offered us conservatives … what,
Romneycare? Tough for us conservatives to sing in that tabernacle choir.
I accepted Obama. I never articulated his first name, and I never
called him “president,” but I accepted the results and accepted that
this Pretender was our country’s lawfully elected chief executive. I
watched his arrogance, the unctuous way he carried himself literally
with his nose up, the way he
never held a
railing while
walking a
stairway because he was
too cool, the kinds of
human dreck he regularly invited as his White House
guests,
and I accepted it all with the soft whisper, “This, too, shall pass.” I
watched the Corrupt Journalist Corps idolize him, crown him a king,
admire him as a
messiah and a
deity,
and I accepted the milieu. This, too, in time would pass. It meant
living through eight years of the deepest public corruption. Lois Lerner
stealing an election by leveraging the awesome power of the Internal
Revenue Service to close down legitimate conservative political groups.
Eric Holder — the nobleman who urged people to kick enemies — bringing
lawlessness and corruption into the Justice Department, even approving
the “Fast and Furious” idea of releasing lethal weapons to Mexican drug
lords in the cockamamie scheme to find out how they access and move
their weapons. Glenn Beck exposed Obama’s Maoist communications
director,
Anita Dunn, who walked children through the White House. There was ACORN. Just one corruption after another.
I hate that Donald Trump never was given a chance to be President of the United States for even one day’s honeymoon.
Amid my
speeches and
writings throughout the Wasted Obama Decade, I never published a piece
aimed at bringing down Obama before his term was up. He won. Although he
is despicable beyond words, the rules of our game, as set forth in our
precious Constitution, made him our president. That meant Americans
would die needlessly because we had a commander in chief who was a
Pretender and an Incompetent. But he won fair and square. So ISIS grew
from a small terror band to a caliphate. ISIS-inspired terror attacks
occurred in our homeland. Western Europe sustained terrible deadly
attacks. Our American economy went nowhere. We micturated half a billion
dollars down a toilet with Solyndra while trying to close down our
energy sector, attacking the genius of our hydraulic fracturing,
obstructing our oil exploration, blocking the construction of new
pipelines that offered even more oil and more thousands of jobs.
Instead, we got shovel-ready jobs that were not ready but rather were
chummy payoffs to union heads and other political insiders. We got
windmills suitable for blowhards. We got Hillary Clinton as Secretary of
State and Benghazi as testimonial to her vision. We got Susan Rice, an
idiot, raised paradoxically to head of national security after spending a
day lying on five television stations about Benghazi and later going on
to describe Bowe Bergdahl, a coward and deserter, as a hero who had
served with honor and distinction. We got Loretta Lynch, who some
thought would clean up Holder’s corruption of Justice, only to find that
she ended up in bed with the Clintons at the height of the probe of
Hillary’s corruption. We saw the world’s worst murderers freed from
Gitmo so that they could rejoin the war against America.
And yet I accepted it all. Because if there are only two main parties
in this country, and if the Republican RINOs refuse repeatedly to
nominate a bona fide conservative who truly reflects the will of the
rank-and-file voters whose ballots send them to Washington, then we are
left with a Pretender like Obama, and he won fair and square.
The
waters did not stop rising
on Obama’s watch. The Earth was not healed. On his watch, a country
that finally had healed itself from the shame and scourge of imposing
slavery on human beings more than a century earlier, a country that had
atoned and that had created and institutionalized a new social
infrastructure by which people no longer were denied because of their
skin color or religion — a country that reflected that healing by
electing a Black man president despite his manifest lack of personal
achievement, close ties with an organized-crime felon, and questionable
biography — suddenly erupted into a new era of racial bitterness.
Michael Brown and Ferguson aflame amid the “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” lie
promoted by Obama and by Eric Holder but shot down by a Missouri grand
jury. Freddie Gray and Baltimore aflame followed by a series of outright
judicial exonerations handed down by a Black judge who saw that every
accused cop had acted properly and lawfully. A lowlife killed by George
Zimmerman in Sanford, Florida, a
thug whom Obama told us
would have been the likes of his own son if he had had a son. Eight
years of racial divide, social division aimed at tearing us up as a
color-blind and religion-blind American People, just to promote
electoral successes.
And yet I accepted that Obama had won. No derangement syndrome for
me. It was what it was. As a New York Mets fan from their founding in
1962, I understood what it was to wait patiently and to endure eight
years of unmitigated disaster. As a boy, I waited then, and then came
Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman, and Nolan Ryan. As an adult I waited. And
then came Donald Trump and Mike Pence.
When the
Mets finally took it all in 1969,
the other teams accepted the results. They lost gracefully. Now it was
the Mets’ turn, and they had won it fair and square. But these past
three years have been something different. Trump and Pence won fair and
square. But there was no grace. Rather, there was instant character
assassination, instant war, instant denial. Advertisements urging
electors to violate their Electoral College oaths. Fabrications of
collusion with Putin. Investigations that hamstrung a presidency. Lies
and innuendoes leaked and published by the unindicted co-conspirators we
call the “mainstream media.” A never-ending hunt to find scandals and
Trump accusers: a bimbo who pole-danced at bars, her lawyer who now
dances
behind bars, another crooked lawyer who tape-recorded his own clients and now is locked up,
disbarred from the Bar. One cartoon character after another.
As a rabbi of 40 years and a person who believes that most people
have the potential for goodness, and who tries to find the good even in
people who disappoint until they absolutely close off the possibility of
goodness being discovered within them, I now have learned to hate.
The Bible certainly does not encourage hate. “Do not hate your
brother in your heart. [If he does wrong, go ahead and] Rebuke your
compatriot, but do not sin because of him” (Leviticus 19:17). “Do not
seek revenge, and do not bear a grudge against the children of your
people. And you shall love your neighbor as you love yourself”
(Leviticus 19:18). But the Bible acknowledges the existence of
viciousness and cruelty, and it demands of decent people that we not sit
on the fence in the face of evil: “Those who love G-d hate evil” (Psalm
97:10). King Solomon laid it out best in that magnificently poetic
third chapter of Ecclesiastes, which inspired not only
The Byrds but even
Pete Seeger and Judy Collins.
Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice, and moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue. There is a time to hate.
I have come deeply to hate. I hate that Donald Trump never was given a
chance to be president of the United States for even one day’s
honeymoon. I hate that, long before he won the presidency — fair and
square — corrupt crooks and criminals in the United States Department of
Justice, its Federal Bureau of Investigation, were actively plotting to
take him down. I hate that there are so few outlets in the media that
give voice to condemn the criminality and corruption that broke every
accepted societal norm by which we play the game. I hate that Obama was
in on it, yet continues to pontificate on what is just and on what
threatens freedom.
I hate that they all keep getting away with it. Every single one
of them gets away with it. There is absolutely no price to be paid on
the left for perjury, for conspiracy to overturn a legitimate election,
for treason.
Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn may or may not be a great American hero. Yes,
he has the medals and the military career for which we all say, “Thank
you for your service.” But so did John McCain, and so does that
Vindman guy.
OK, so thank you for your service. Absolutely. But Michael Flynn,
whether a hero or simply, merely just a lifelong patriot who has devoted
his entire adult life to the protection and betterment of the United
States, wanted to serve his country. So he served honorably in the
military under Obama as commander in chief. He accepted the chain of
command. And then, after his active military service, he stepped forward
to participate politically under Trump.
Lt. Gen. Flynn never deserved what was done to him. He was targeted
for destruction by criminals and crooks in the FBI. They set out to
destroy him. The FBI is not allowed to bother law-abiding people like
you and me, to set us up, and to induce us to commit a crime. They are
permitted to pursue criminal investigations only when they have a
predicate before them. In the case of Flynn, they had in their
possession a complete recording and transcript of his phone call with
Sergey Kislyak. Yet they interviewed him and asked him to tell them what
was said during the call. The Bureau of Investigation was not
investigating; they already knew the answer. Rather, they were setting
him up to speak a falsehood, to commit the crime of lying to the FBI, an
act whose criminal dimensions he did not appreciate as a layman. They
dissuaded him from having an attorney at the interview so he would slip
into the trap. A competent attorney would have protected him. Frankly, a
competent attorney would have killed the interview in the first place
or would have wrangled terms that would have negated its purpose, much
as Hillary did.
For each question, even if such an interview ever would have
happened, an attorney like me would have been saying, alternating
between my client and his interrogator: “Lieutenant General, you do not
have to answer that question. Go ahead, what’s the next question?” Or
“Lieutenant General, please wait a moment. What is the purpose of this
question? What exactly are you asking?” Or “My client, the Lieutenant
General, is delighted he could give you eight minutes of his valuable
time today. If you want to ask him any more questions along these lines,
send us a subpoena. We will study it and let you know our thoughts.”
They took advantage of a good man who suddenly found himself
combating in a different kind of military theater outside his field of
expertise. He knew the jungles of Afghanistan, not the jungles of the
Justice Department in Washington. The slime dregs of Justice, the Peter
Strzoks and Andrew McCabes of the FBI, knew this. They had the
lieutenant general on their terrain. He never should have been
questioned about the call. He never should have been sucked into an
interview without an attorney present. He never should have been lulled
into what he said to the FBI.
Donald Trump has been the chief executive of this country for more
than three years, and he has proven to be a great president in so many
ways, but he sadly has proven incapable of cleaning the swamp. He at
least identified the swamp’s existence, and he is fighting its effort to
swallow him within its muck. But he has proven that, despite the
glorious slogan he inspired, he cannot drain it. Not one single slime in
the swamp has been brought to justice.
There is something so evil in a society that tolerates a dual
standard of justice, dual standards of everything. On the one hand, we
political conservatives harbor profoundly deep feelings, but we do not
destroy people’s lives based on abstract politics. Yes, we oppose them
and expose them, and we hope that contemporary society and history judge
them for the evil they represent. But we do not destroy them in their
lives. They get away with
everything. Hillary Clinton spoliated
33,000 emails amid a federal probe, a federal crime that always ends up
with prison time — but not for her. It is a federal crime to lie under
oath to Congress. Comey, Clapper, Brennan — how have they
all avoided
prison time? Strzok, Page, the whole bunch of them? Adam Schiff. The
outliers on the Mueller team. Not one single slime among them in the
swamp has been brought to justice.
These animals destroyed the life of Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. They
drove him into such financial ruin that he had to sell his home to pay
his legal bills. They went after a good boy,
Nick Sandmann,
and they cruelly made him into the face of racism. His own Catholic
diocese in eastern Kentucky sold him out and sold out all the boys who
stood with him that fateful day in Washington, D.C., when he was
harassed by a messed-up Indian with a drum. And they did everything they
could to
destroy Brett Kavanaugh, a
good man,
a family man, a man who has devoted time throughout his life to his
church and to the need. They endeavored through outright perjury to
destroy him.
The perjurers all got away with it. Name
one single perjurer against
Justice Kavanaugh who ever was brought to justice by Charles Grassley
or Lindsey Graham of the Senate Judicial Committee.
The liars destroy with impunity because they know they
always
will get away with it. Republicans watch the character assassination
and then go on Sean Hannity to sound brave for five minutes. “These
people will pay a steep price, Sean.” “I won’t let them get away with
it, Sean.” “Let not your heart be troubled, Sean.” “We will investigate
every crime and every perjury, Sean.” Three years of hearing this from
Paul Ryan, Reince Priebus, Trey Gowdy, Charles Grassley, Lindsey Graham,
Rudy Giuliani, Jason Chaffetz, Kevin McCarthy. Well,
Fox News Alert: They all got away with it. Comey. Brennan. Clapper. Blasey Ford. Schiff. Hillary. Strzok. Page. McCabe.
If the Left truly believed in the truth of the slogans they chanted
in their failed effort to destroy Justice Kavanaugh, does anyone truly
believe that Biden still would be standing today? Does anyone truly
believe that Sonia Sotomayor could not have been completely destroyed at
the time of her SCOTUS nomination if she were conservative? If the
media were not a division of the Democrat Party, does anyone doubt that
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo today would have been forced from office like
his immediate predecessors, Eliot Spitzer and David Paterson, if only
for presiding over so extraordinary a health catastrophe that his one
state accounts for half the coronavirus illnesses and deaths in the
whole country? Cuomo ordered nursing homes in his state to admit
coronavirus-infected seniors into facilities that were woefully
unprepared to handle the medical ramifications, and that order
singularly caused mass death. And yet the same media that seek any and
every angle to blame Trump for not wearing a mask lionize Cuomo, who not
only should wear a mask but also should change his fingerprints,
undergo plastic surgery to reconfigure his appearance, and hide for dear
life in some El Chapo cave from the children and grandchildren left
behind by the more than 5,000 defenseless seniors whom he has martyred
so far on the altar of Democrat liberalism.
There is a time to love and a time to hate. This is a time to hate.
