The inauguration war: The Left prepares its counter-attack on American democracy

[danielpalos]

Horowitz nails it. The Democrats no longer view politics as the process of compromising and establishing an agenda acceptable to both sides. "...the Democratic Party view politics not as an art of compromise but as a war against the indecent and the irredeemable.". And the Democrat fanatics, of course, at the ones who decide what's indecent and irredeemable.

Just as the so-called "Palestinian" government in the middle East has as its goal the annihilation of Israel, the Democrats in this country desire nothing but the destruction of everyone who opposes them. Seeking compromise with such people is impossible. The kindest alternative the American system offers, is to vote them out of power. And as we are seeing, that's an alternative they will not accept.

What other alternatives are they leaving for normal Americans?

The Inauguration War

The Inauguration War
The Left prepares its counter-attack on American democracy.
January 13, 2017
by David Horowitz

According to Gallup, the average presidential honeymoon lasts seven months. This is a window when the losing party declares a partisan peace, allows the incoming president to pick his cabinet and launch the agenda his victory mandates. Presidential honeymoons are not only a venerable American tradition they are one of democracy’s pillars. For generations they have been ceremonial supports for the peaceful transition of power, and the peaceful resolution of partisan conflicts.

Not this election year. There will be no honeymoon. This year even before Trump arrives in the Oval Office, the opposition cry has been Resist! Block! Reject! It is not just anti-American radicals like Michael Moore, who has indeed called for “100 days of resistance” to the Trump presidency, but by the leadership of the Democratic Party which has vowed to fight Trump’s appointments, has attacked the election result as an expression of popular racism, attempted to discredit the Electoral College by falsely calling it a legacy of slavery, and even accused Trump of being a Russian agent, a pawn in the chess game of its dictator Vladimir Putin. It is a sad day for America when the world’s oldest political party, whose name proclaims it a partisan of democracy, comes out in force as a saboteur of that same system.

Nor is all this simply a fit of Democratic absent-mindedness. Instead, it is the culmination of a long developing shift in Democratic Party politics, a shift symbolized by the current favorite to become its next leader. Keith Ellison is a Muslim radical who spent his formative adult years as a vocal supporter of the anti-American, anti-Semitic racist Louis Farrakhan. Ellison reflects the power of the Bernie Sanders radicals in the Democratic Party who according to recent Gallup polls now represent its majority, even though they lost a rigged primary election which would have made him the party’s presidential nominee.

The face of this new Democratic Party was revealed during a seminal moment in the second Clinton-Trump presidential debate. It came when Trump turned to the cameras and said, “Hillary has tremendous hatred in her heart.” He was referring to her now notorious statement that half of Trump’s supporters belonged in a “basket of deplorables,” which was followed by her iteration of those she had in mind: “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.”

What made this moment pivotal was that the slurs were not an idiosyncratic tic of the Democratic standard-bearer and leader of the party’s “moderate” wing. They were the logical expression of the identity politics that had become the party’s creed. If every political issue and conflict is reduced to a conflict of races, genders and ethnic origins this inevitably leads to the demonization of the opposition as racist, sexist … deplorable. It is this mentality that has swallowed the Democratic Party and caused it to view politics not as an art of compromise but as a war against the indecent and the irredeemable. There can be no more succinct summary of what the Democrats’ rejection of the traditional presidential honeymoon is about.

It is time that democrats get the message of how much they are really hated.

Up until now we have allowed the rats to wallow in the myth that they are a permanent majority and we have one party rule.

They got more votes than you did dunce. They just didn't get them in the right places. Still, almost 3 million more of them came out to vote than you guys.

That is not what I said and your translation is worthless. Almost a lie.
