When Obama was president, nearly every day I was dismayed at something he’d done….whether it was executive orders on Friday nights (hilarious that the Left tried to slam Trump for that two weeks ago when Obama did it so often even they finally noted it!), or how he started his legacy of racial animosity with the Professor Henry Gates thing, or when he accepted the Nobel Prize instead of saying “For ME? What did I DO?” or the hideous Fast and Furious nightmare, or the IRS’ treatment of Conservatives…Lois Lerner, etc etc…….or how about when Michelle wore clothing that (to be kind) didn’t look the best on her and the media called her “an amazing fashion ICON”? We could all go on and on and ON and on…….Eight years of of our saying “WHAT?” Even NOW, Obama is misrepresenting the DACA thing quite badly….and the media’s right there fomenting hatred instead of at least trying to tell the truth!
MANY Conservatives, young and old, were upset the last eight years with Obama’s actions…but we put up with it. I’m not saying we didn’t criticize! We did! But did Conservative young people destroy property over Obama’s election? Did news stations cry because Obama was elected? Did Conservatives say he was INSANE? Again, we could all go ON and on and ON……..
Answer: NO. Conservatives were tough on Obama, but not violent. Not as hate filled. Not attacking his mental health, etc. Frankly, I could slam Obama pretty good on my site, but I don’t have it in me to begin to be as hateful as leftwingers on our blogs are now, or as hateful as cable news is toward Trump, etc.
SO, what IS it about Conservatives versus Leftwingers? Remember when Tony Snow died and the HuffPost crashed from the huge amount of revelry on its site from Dems who apparently had despised him? In comparison, when Ted Kennedy died, I searched Conservative sites and found very few negative comments, mostly, it was “I didn’t agree with the guy, but I wish his family the best.” When Cheney had heart problems, the Left blogged things like “Man, he didn’t die AGAIN! Damn!” And, again…we could go on and on……….
What’s the difference? What makes Conservative love the Constitution and Leftwingers are so bent on changing it? What about the appearance of young leftwingers and young rightwingers at political conventions? OBVIOUSLY, I GENERALIZE…I’ve met some pretty ‘funky’ Conservative kids in LA, believe it or not. And I know there are very decent Democrat young people…but IN GENERAL, there’s a big and almost scary difference.
I honestly and seriously thought a lot about this post because I don’t like to over generalize, but after years of blogging and reading leftwing blogs, and seeing leftwing reactions on the blogs and in the streets (especially the recent and intense hatred toward all things American, Constitutional and Conservative), do you agree with me? Or do you believe Conservatives act as hate-filled as Leftwingers? Even NOW, Obama is misrepresenting the DACA thing quite badly….the media’s right there fomenting hatred instead of at least trying to tell the truth!
AND IF YOU AGREE WITH ME, WHY DO YOU THINK THIS IS?

I see a direct correlation between the attitudes of Democrats in Congress vis-à-vis DACA and the Fourteenth Amendment.
A review: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
The problem is that none of the authors of this amendment, or any legislature in the United States at the time, envisioned “anchor babies.” An analogy: if I perpetrate fraud against the estate of a deceased person by submitting to probate court a fraudulent will, which entitled me to that person’s entire estate, am I legally entitled to that estate? Of course not … and so a person who comes to the United States illegally for the purpose of depositing their spawn within our borders is similarly not entitled to citizenship or any of the benefits thereof. In my mind, this is not difficult to understand.
What is happening here is that Nancy McCain and Chuckles Schumer are doing no more than pandering for votes for the Democratic Party. It is out of the playbook of LBJ, who envisioned blacks voting Democratic for the next 200 years owing to passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (just prior to LBJ’s election the following November) and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which enabled people to vote even if they didn’t know who was running for the presidency.

“Every politician swears up and down that he wants a “secure border.” But then these same politicians go absolutely berserk when Trump says he wants to build a wall.
They say we’ll get enforcement right after the amnesty. That’s obviously absurd. When the tub is overflowing, water pouring out of the faucet, across the carpets, down the stairs, up the dining room walls, we don’t debate whether we’re going to dry clean the curtains or throw them out. We don’t argue about whether to use a mop or towels. FIRST: Turn off the water.
As long as both political parties stoutly refuse to build the wall, we know they are not serious about ever stopping illegal immigration. (Luckily, the Constitution gives the commander in chief full authority to protect our borders, with or without congressional approval.)
We know what happened after the Reagan amnesty. We know politicians and the media are lying to us. Why, some of the politicians who lied to us then are lying to us today, for example, Chuck Schumer.
No matter how innocent and lamblike a “Dreamer” they produce to tear at our heartstrings, it won’t work anymore. Decades of their perfidy has made sympathy impossible.
It’s as if, night after night, Paul Ryan knocked on our door and asked us to take in one helpless orphan and, night after night, we crack open our door, only to be set upon by 30 armed felons with tire chains and brass knuckles.
At a certain point, Ryan might actually produce a sad orphan. Who knows? It’s theoretically possible. But we could not be faulted for not opening the door.
Politicians and the press are themselves responsible for thoroughly killing any human sympathy Americans may have had for illegal immigrants — even the “Dreamers” (whom Ivanka adores, but would die before sending her kids to a school jam-packed with them).
The only question is: Will anyone in Washington ever listen?”
