THIS is THE most insulting, low, country-defeating, disgusting thing I’ve read in a VERY long time. (read it at your own risk…I personally find it a mortifying situation)
BY the way, pertaining to my linked article, how many five year olds do you know who ever heard one word that came out of any presidential candidate? No, they don’t….their parents and teachers tell them. It’s the parents and teachers who should have THEIR mouths washed out with soap and the teachers should be fired for carrying their repulsive liberal, non respectful ways into the classroom of small children.
By the way, I had an unwed mother/acquaintance tell me her 3 year old doesn’t call his preschool teacher Miss Jones, he calls her ELLIE, because she hasn’t earned his respect yet. I was so dumbfounded that I didn’t think until months later that I should have said “You’re sending your child to a teacher who doesn’t deserve RESPECT? And what would that respect look like for a 3 year old boy?”
We need to call it a day, America…we’re doomed. Even Trump can’t fix liberal shamefulness in our parents and teachers.
IF THAT WASN’T ENOUGH….Look who NEEDED TO LECTURE PENCE at a Broadway show….to the audience…laughing and cheering the insults.
When Obama was elected and went to a Broadway Show, did the cast ever say “Please, Mr. President-elect, before you leave the theater, we are a group of people interested in the health of America, please don’t run the debt up to $20 trillion dollars! And don’t apologize to the world for all the good America’s done for them, and don’t insult the media you don’t agree with and please support our veterans!”
I don’t think so, either.

Remember that bumper sticker with the Obama “Swoosh” logo that advised us “He Won! Get Over It!”?
Yeah, me too. And I was raised to address all adult females as “Ma’am” until directed by them to call them something else. In a polite and ordered society, it’s generally considered rude to use another person’s name in direct address unless he or she has given permission for it.
When I got some rank on my shoulder in the military, I developed the habit of using NO ONE’s given name if that person was junior to me and never with any officer with scrambled eggs on his hat.
In fact, I’ve always considered our unwritten policy of referring to female athletes by their given names but their male counterparts by their family names. Somehow just struck me as sexist to refer to “Martina” and “Chrissie” but call the guys “McEnroe” and “Becker.”
Wonder why it was o.k. to call HRC “Hillary” but DJT “Trump.” Prolly ’cause of some residual neanderthal notion that it’s natural to call girls by more common names but men must be given some measure of respect in direct address, right? I mean, after all . . . girls have to be protected because they’re weak and delicate while guys can take care of themselves. Yeah, that’s gotta be it.

This is the inmates running the asylum. Everyone is entitled to live their own lives however they want, and everyone’s dignity and humanity needs to be respected, but its gone too far. Hopefully the President Trump era will see most of this rolled back and get some sanity restored to our society.

Now FASHION DESIGNERS are called NOT to dress Melania Trump because “As one who celebrates and strives for diversity, individual freedom and respect for all lifestyles, I will not participate in dressing or associating in any way with the next First Lady. The rhetoric of racism, sexism, and xenophobia unleashed by her husband’s presidential campaign are incompatible with the shared values we live by.” she wrote. “I encourage my fellow designers to do the same.”]
Will they be able to hire a chef? A gardener? Is every trade going to say “NO?”
And WILL they wake up and understand Trump is NOT a racist, NOT a sexist, NOT a xenophobic (um…xenophobic? his WIVES have both been foreign…but don’t let FACTS get in your way)
This is getting SERIOUS< folks….disgusting, childish, stupid and VERY scary to me.

As for Hillary going by her given name, I understand she chose that because she doesn’t want to be called a “Clinton”. As someone so rightly said, it was the media guided by her evil hand that chose that.
Our entertainment industry has gotten out of hand. They’ve really gotten too big for their britches. I think it’s time to put “them out of the camp, that they defile not their camps” [Numbers 5:3]. Stop giving them money. Don’t look up to them. Don’t ask their opinions. Etc. Those people aren’t normal. They don’t represent or speak for us in any way, shape, or form.

I’ll be eager for Trump to start explaining better his plans so people realize who he might be deporting, who he might be vetting…etc. As it is, the way he spoke as a candidate was hyperbolic and turned so many against him …and they won’t bother to get the truth because it makes them SO HAPPY to hate him and warn others to hate him, too. Before the truth comes out. And reasons behind his moves. (which many will STILL not support, but…)

Hauntingly reminiscent of what some of us — many, in fact — endured when coming back from tours in ‘Nam in the 60s . . . another shameful episode of activist media steering public opinion to deceive, detract, and defeat unpopular policy.
I wasn’t ever personally assaulted or threatened by unwashed flower people in SanFran or L.A., but I did get close enough to them on occasion to hear their bleating ignorance and raging hypocrisy. HATED it when they demeaned and disparaged caskets coming back through Travis or Vandenberg.
Most of the individuals I spoke with on the issue were grossly unaware of the fact that we nearly had General Giap ready to quit until people like Fonda and Kerry began spewing their self-promoting agitprop around like samples at a Snake Oil clearance sale.
Kronkite was the worst, though, because unlike most of the others, his voice had the ring of authority and gravitas while spinning his own version of the thing to ramp up distaste and abhorrence for a war he disagreed with.
We were doing our jobs as we understood them, and damned fine jobs at that. We weren’t the policymakers, only the trained and loyal instruments of a government we believed in . . . at the time.

1951 . . . good time to be alive and growin up in America. My mother was about to remarry and I was on the cusp of understanding what all that fuss concerning “girls” was all about.
We actually LEARNED stuff in school and didn’t hafta worry ’bout being politically correct or cholesterol or guys on street corners pushin drugs.
A Coke cost a nickel, a Baby Ruth cost a nickel, and the cigarettes I bought at the store for my grandfather cost a dime a pack. Gas was around $.25 a gallon. And nobody that I knew had ever even HEARD of the Qur’an.
No TV in the house, so we all gathered in a semicircle around this wooden box in the living room and listened to The Shadow, Fibber McGee and Molly, Inner Sanctum, and The Lone Ranger while we ate homemade pie made with real sugar and real lard, cookies made with real sugar and real shortenin, and lemonade made with real lemons and real sugar, and corn popped in a pan on a gas range and drippin with melted butter.
I thought it was a good deal to mow some old lady’s yard on Saturday mornings for a quarter, then take that quarter down to the Lido theater for the matinee, see a double feature with Lash LaRue or Tom Mix or Roy Rogers or Johnny Mack Brown, have a coke and a box of popcorn, and still have a nickel left over. In winter, you could always get a couple dimes for shovelin sidewalks or a nickel for clearin snow off a man’s car for him while he had breakfast of skillet-fried ham & eggs.
