My outrage meter has exploded. For the past two years, no even before that, I have been repeatedly outraged by the machinations and lies of the left. During the Obama administration, no one could disagree with his policies without being labeled a racist, which of course immediately encompassed the entire Republican Party. From the moment that the Republicans in Congress began attempting to participate in the construction of the infamous Obamacare health plan only to be resolutely turned away by the President himself, I began to fear the direction in which he was taking the country. When Speaker Nancy Pelosi informed the members of the House that they would have to pass the healthcare bill first and then they could find out what was in it, I was both dumbfounded and outraged. What moron votes for something without knowing what they are voting for? Who buys a car that someone simply describes to them, “Oh, it has four doors, four tires, gets really good gas mileage. You’ll love it when you see it!” So let me see it first, then I’ll decide! But no, hundreds of supposedly intelligent individuals that we elected to office duly voted into law a bill that they hadn’t read and didn’t understand, thereby saddling this country with the expensive fiasco that Obamacare has proven to be.
I was outraged when it came to light that President Obama had deliberately lied to the country when he assured us that if we liked our insurance or our doctor we could keep them. He knew full well we could not, but without that lie, congressmen would have been flooded with angry complaints from their constituents and the bill would never have passed.
I was outraged when we found out that both Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama had known in real time that the attack on Bengahzi, Libya that killed our Ambassador and three other Americans was a terrorist attack and not simply a mob of protestors (Protestors don’t carry around grenade launchers in their back pockets!) who had gotten out of control while protesting an anti-Muslim film. Yet both had lied about it repeatedly to the American people. And got away with it.
I was outraged when instead of graciously accepting the election of the Republican Donald Trump, the Democratic Party immediately dubbed themselves “the Resistance” diminishing the sacrifice of the real Resistance who fought and died to help free their countries from Nazi barbarism during WWII. And I was further outraged when they put up television ads trying to convince members of the Electoral College to change their votes from what the people of their states wanted to Hillary Clinton. My outrage was mitigated when I was able to chuckle over the fact that of the few votes that actually were changed, more went to Trump than to Clinton!
I have been outraged over the continued slurs on the character of both the President of the United States and the Vice-President, and even more so on the attacks against their wives and against the President’s poor son who is only a child!
I am outraged that movie star after movie star has sworn at the President on television, that awards show like the Emmys have simply become a venue for coming up with the most awful things to say about the President and his family. I am outraged that Peter Fonda, a B actor at best, playing upon the name of his famous and actually talented father, said that the President’s young son should be locked in a cage with pedophiles. That comment should have earned him time in a WWII Japanese prisoner of war camp!
I have been outraged by the effrontery of the left in telling us that we can no longer enjoy “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer” because it is about bullying. The less than intelligent left miss the whole point that the “different” reindeer, Rudolph, is rewarded by Santa – good winning out in the end. But then, that message does not fit their agenda. And I will listen to “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” all year round if I want to, because it is NOT about sexual harassment and rape as the left suggests.
I am outraged that the immoral left, who have no belief in a Supreme Being and thus no moral compass other than their own stupidity, should constantly try to tell me how to live and shame and threaten anyone who does not give in to their demands.
I am outraged at those who have made public comments that are true and that need to be made, but who then back down and apologize for their comments in the face of the twitter storm of threats and reproach from the left. Grow a backbone!
I am outraged by the leaders of the Democratic Party who consistently lie to the American people and by the mainstream media who refuses to report on the good things that the President has accomplished for all of us but jump upon any derogatory rumor and publish it gleefully before even checking sources. They are no longer journalists but leaders of the so-called Resistance!
I was outraged that the left, most all Democrats in Congress, and a few Democratic friends and relatives all accepted that poor Brett Kavanaugh was a sexual predator, even though the supposed victim’s own witnesses said the attack had not happened. Then of course there was the piling on of other “victims,” all of whom proved to be either manipulated into their accusations or flat out liars. And I was outraged by the behavior of the supposed “adult” senators on the Judiciary Committee and the mobs of demented individuals who clawed and pounded on the doors to the Supreme Court Building on the day of Kavanaugh’s swearing in.
And I remain outraged that many of the Democrats who live around me, who are generally nice people, won’t admit that any of that was wrong or disturbing or inappropriate or shameful. They just ignore it and go on belonging to the Party that condones and encourages that behavior.
I have been outraged that members of congress and members of the White House Staff cannot eat quietly in a restaurant without being verbally attacked and run out by left-wing crowds. Does anyone notice that they do not fight back, that they simply leave in quiet dignity?
I am outraged that it is always the left whose demonstrators turn into mobs that destroy property and strew trash in their wake. The March for Life always picks up after themselves, but no one notices that because scarcely any media mentions the March for Life at all.
But I am most outraged, beyond outraged, that a group of well-behaved high school boys who had gone with their chaperones to the March for Life in Washington D.C. were attacked, first by a group of adults, the Black Hebrew Israelites, (a group listed even by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a terrorist group) began hurling slurs and obscenities at them, even calling the few blacks students among them “n***ers.” And then a native American activist forced his way, with a few followers, into the middle of their group as they waited for their bus, banging on a drum, and when he came face to face with a young man who smiled at him, he turned the entire encounter into an unprovoked racist attack on himself, despite the fact that his followers were shouting “Go back to Europe!” to the boys, none of whom did anything more inciting than chant some high school sports chants to drown out the obscenities from the black group.
And then the media immediately took the word of the activist, Nathan Phillips, as he accused the group of innocent boys of mocking him. The story went viral and even the Catholic diocese and the Covington High School administration immediately apologized for the boys and promised an investigation and punishment. Except, of course, that the boys were innocent of any wrong doing as videos taken even by some of the black agitators later showed. A few people apologized for jumping to conclusion, but not many. These poor young boys from Covington, these children even got death threats although they were doing absolutely nothing but mind their own business! Outrageous! Really, really beyond the pale!
It later came out as well, that “Vietnam veteran” Nathan Phillips had never been in Vietnam and had been released by the marines after a four-year stint in the U.S. “for disciplinary reasons.” He also has a history of “happening” upon people who are disrespecting native American culture. At one college, he just happened to be strolling down a street past a fraternity house that was having an “Indian” themed party. The young men, like the Covington High School boys, supposedly cast slurs upon his heritage and he called the police. When the police arrived, they found absolutely no trace of any “Indian” themed party. Hmmm.
So the “young white boys mistreat native American Vietnam veteran old enough to be their grandfather” story has imploded, but that hasn’t stopped the left. Oh, no! Some of the boys were wearing MAGA hats. And the left immediately jumped on that. “Make America Great Again” doesn’t mean let’s have a country where everyone gets along and where there are enough jobs for people and where the world, if they don’t like us, at least respect us again as you and I might have thought. No, according to the left, it is a white supremacist message. It means “Let’s get rid of everyone in this country who is not white!” Except, of course, that America has ALWAYS had people of color living here – blacks, Mexicans, Chinese and Japanese in California, and of course Native Americans. It took us awhile to convince everyone to treat them all equally (and a few people still need to be convinced), but America has never been a country of only people with white skins. And enough of us have intermarried now that “white” is a misnomer in most cases.
Elizabeth Warren, the famous senator “with native American heritage,” found out from DNA testing that she is 1/1024thnative American, about the same as most “white” Americans who also have some black heritage in them. Except for those like me, whose ancestors arrived in America only 4-5 generations ago and married among their own community (in this case of Scandinavians), most Americans can not be said to be only “white” despite the color of their skin. President Obama considered himself black because of the color of his skin and because it was politically expedient for him, yet his mother was a white American and his father a Kenyan whose ancestors had never been American slaves. His father returned to Kenya and he was raised by his white mother and his white grandparents. He was roughly 50% white and 50% black. But the black part was the money-maker with the Democratic Party! The only Americans who care about the color of someone’s skin is the left, and they only care because by trying to isolate minority groups and make them feel persecuted, they hope to win their votes by convincing them that they and they alone can protect them from the evil Republicans.
But despite what the left claims, MAGA is not a call for apartheid, but rather a call for greatness in our economy, our world standing, our image of ourselves. The left doesn’t like America or Americans. Everything to them is a crisis, a cause to be corrected through marches and angry tweets. One wonders why they stay here. Wouldn’t they be happier in Venezuela where they would have something real to complain about?
I am not a racist, a homophobe, a misogynist, a white supremacist. But with the attacks on those poor Christian boys, my outrage meter has exploded. I am going to buy a MAGA hat. And wear it!
