George Rebane
The ground shaking shock of 8 November 2016 is not going away; it is getting stronger if anything. And as Team Trump unveils more of its projected policies and planned programs, America’s socialists along with their well-placed elites are getting more and more scared. Why? Because with each described initiative it looks like Trump will be able to pull off much of what he promised, what his constituents expect, and what even more Americans will see as the real change they have been waiting for since 2008. If this comes to pass, Democrats and the Alt-Left know their narrative will be exposed along with all the other socialist narratives since Das Kapital.
But this time it will be different because today the word gets out much more quickly and more powerfully (social media, pictures, videos, graphics, podcasts, …), so that even the intellectually challenged and attention span deficient will get the message that central plans based on other people’s money don’t work well, and that Leviathan must be tamed.
So even before President-elect Trump gets inaugurated we are flooded with news and reports of the Left attempting to organize like they have never organized before. Their various factions are pulling out all the stops in their desperation to avoid becoming irrelevant for a generation or two. The industry and energy in this enterprise is something to behold and the strongest testament that restoring liberty, enterprise, freer markets, lower taxes, fewer regulations, and the Constitution is most likely the best medicine for the ills which ail us all. And allowing that to be put to the test is the biggest no-no of all.
It will be interesting to watch the so-called ‘non-partisan’ NGOs come out of the woodwork and declare their true colors, kinda like in the old days when on the high seas the pirates approached a merchantman under the flag of a legitimate nation and then suddenly hoisted the Jolly Roger when escape was impossible. A particularly nasty piece being planned is the ‘Women’s March on Washington’ to be held along with other leftwing demonstrations on Inauguration Day. These protests against our peaceful traditions of legitimately transferring power from one administration to the next, instead of being celebrated, are coordinated by the Democrats and will be held in cities across America. The one in Washington DC is projected to draw over 200,000 women alone. Our local leftwingers will bus to Sacramento to make their voices heard. Wasn’t it not too long ago that any civil gathering of the Tea Party and other conservative groups was vilified as a coming together of people loutish, ignorant, and definitely un-American?
As we have seen, when those of the Right gather somewhere, they leave the place cleaner than when they found it. That does not comport with leftwing demonstrations which also demonstrate their values and mores by illegal disruptions, destruction of property, violence, and leaving their fields of filth behind as calling cards. So we will have an opportunity to see if they have really taken enough pages out of rightwing playbooks for civil political opposition. So far their organizers, both in and out of government, promise to diminish, denigrate, deny, and disrupt everything from the Trump White House and the Republican Congress.
In the end, we are promised that what we will not see repeated is that the party out of power will advance their own well-defined legislative proposals for consideration and for all to see like the Republicans did since they lost Congress in 2006 and the presidency in 2008. Instead the Democrats are threatening four years of civil disorder to further separate us. It was ever thus when socialists get pissed.
plus one on this post. It's bad enough on Daily Kos, but also a lot of 'middle of the road' web sites and other left wing news outlets. Now I seem to recall a certain lefty that posts here claiming Trump was a big liar. And he wouldn't do what he said he'd do.
I think he had polls to prove that as well.
What is not being talked about by anyone yet is that Trump is installing a lot of women and many aren't even white. Horrors.
But the left and the Dems are free to go up against Trump and do their darn'st. I remember that when the Rs said they would resist Obama they were haters and racists. Now the shoe is on the other foot.
Of course the left will be against Trump. I would expect that and it's their right.
But when will they apologise for their name-calling and abuse of the folks that opposed the Obama regime?
And when will they admit they are doing the same exact thing they castigated others for? Obviously never.
The left is as self-aware as a rock.
Trump inherits a complete mess - both internally and internationally as China and Russia are now on the move as they have been emboldened by 8 years of Obama's gutting of America's projected military power and his surrender-first policies.
And he'll have the Dems stabbing him in the back at every turn.

Amazing isn't it?

Agreed. I think the term "pissed" is just being nice. I think they are well beyond that now. "O" still has time to get us into WWIII, and is well on his way. He won't fire a shot at a Muslim, but is more than happy to empty the magazine at a Russian.

One of George Rebane's best posts. Couple Dr. Rebane's post with his Alt-Left link provided, I can't add anything but what has been written above.
Except......Being liberal means never having to say you're sorry. Being Alt-Left means never having to say you're wrong. They are too blinded by hate and uncontrolled rage to realize they all work for the Neo-Libcons now.
They can only function when they drink the kool-aide designed specifically to bring things to the Boiling Point, be it OWS, BLM, or amassing 1,200 batallion strong special forces in 3 nations along Russia's border.
"Liberals saw the Obama presidency as a chance to kill off conservativism and they used the tactics honed by brown shirts of the 1930s -- including violence, vandalism and intimidation. They and their media allies then treat every such incident as the reincarnation of Gandhi."
Anybody notice Obama's eyes lately? They look like he came back from vacation demon possessed....like the Devil has taken over him. Looks like a typical Alt-Lefter to me. Be that as it may, he ain't laughing now.

Dream on. They have lost all touch with reality.
"We are Democrats. We will not oppose things just to oppose them". Lol.

Yeah it's gonna be lots of fun George especially when you have a wild card like Trump running the show. I'll continue being a persistent voice on this blog with my daily look at the daily happenings.
Trump is a dream come true for an antagonist like me. His weirdness is endlessly creative and unpredictable. You guys are gonna have to keep on your game to come up with verbals to keep up with him.
Let the games begin.

Paul Emery 330. Honestly, we think about you the same way you think about Trump.

Thanks for the admission of guilt Paul. Being an antagonist isn't a badge of honor.
It makes you a TROLL.

"Our Socialists Are Pissed"
Again, one of Dr. Rebane's best posts.
I submit to the reader further supporting evidence (as if it was needed) to support the topic:
Exhibit A : @ 04 January 2017 at 03:30 PM
Nice contribution to discussing and contributing to the topic at hand. Nuff said.

Again Paul I think it's fairly obvious that you wouldn't be nearly so belligerent if Hillary had won. Sorry.....maybe next time the dems elect someone more palatable to the electorate.

from Paul: "Trump is a dream come true for an antagonist like me. His weirdness is endlessly creative and unpredictable."
You mean a hater like you. We get it. No matter what Trump does, you will chime in with why it's wrong.
We notice that nowhere can you say he's all the bad things they said about him when he was running. I could have sworn that Trump would start WWIII but now they're saying that he will 'link arms' with Putin.
Paul will be the yapping little toy poodle for the next 4 years endlessly running in circles barking about Trump no matter what. Go for it, Paul.
I'm going to wait and see what Trump actually does before I condemn him. Right now it looks like he's pretty much doing what we expected.

: Thank Goodness for the Constitution to save us from the Alt-Left shoving their authoritian agenda down our throats and stripping us of our rights. Looks like they will have to wait before marching Dr. Rebane to the gallows. Or was that blind folding him and putting him up against the wall? Dodged a bullet, but carpet bombing coming our way. Thank God for the wisdom of the Constitution:
"So even before President-elect Trump gets inaugurated we are flooded with news and reports of the Left attempting to organize like they have never organized before. Their various factions are pulling out all the stops in their desperation to avoid becoming irrelevant for a generation or two. The industry and energy in this enterprise is something to behold and the strongest testament that restoring liberty, enterprise, freer markets, lower taxes, fewer regulations, and the Constitution is most likely the best medicine for the ills which ail us all. And allowing that to be put to the test is the biggest no-no of all."------Dr. Rebane.

PaulE 330pm - Your plan to join the battle of ideas and events during the coming year is most welcome news to those of us who trade ripostes here, and also to those who only read and silently weigh the merits of our respective arguments. As always, we welcome more of your ideological brethren whose metaphorical spines are up to the give and take. I am told that hiding in certain echo chambers on the web irreversibly (or was it irredeemably?) dulls the mind after an appropriate interval :-)

Dr. Rebane I enjoy the discussions on your blog. Why? Because I enjoy interesting people and their opinions. Also, most of those who contribute here don't use filthy, insulting, ignorant language revealing ignorance like on so many blogs. I just want to begin the new year thanking you for your wonderful contribution...and sincerely wish you the best new year ever.

BonnieM 627pm - Thank you for the kind words, and Jo Ann and I wish you the same as we look forward to your contributions on these pages.

Walt 716pm - Now that's real chutzpah for a man who has done most to weaken our military and build up our enemies since Jimmie Carter's military made Brezhnev think seriously about rolling his tanks through the Fulda Gap before the USSR actually went into its death spiral (the handwriting was already on the wall).
Posted by: George Rebane | 04 January 2017 at 10:02 PM
Well, Obama started off with the Nobel Peace Prize and ends with the Distinguished Public Service Medal. Guess that means he trashed our peace machine and then he trashed our public service.
Speaking of the pissed off socialists and the reincarnation of Gandhi, did anybody see what happened New Year's Eve? Shucks, 1,000 refugees gathered around the oldest church in Germany and started yelling Allahu Akbar (God is great!) then burned the church.
By mentioning the above, that must make me an Islamophic hater. That talk really really pisses off our Socialists. With the damage done, I do wish our government would stay our of my religion they way they stay out of the approved good religion of "traumatized refugees". In fact, I wish the government would quit telling me my religion needs to change. Not up with the times, I reckon.
Boy, I am really going to feel the heat now for saying that. Mr. Trump, please help us Deplorables!
