I know. I know. As a veteran political activist, I am suppose to be
extremely upset with Donald Trump, out there saying what some on both
sides of the political aisle consider to be outrageous things.
But, folks, I cannot help myself. It is thrilling to watch someone in
the arena of ideas not playing the game according to the dictates of
the Left. For far too long, our anti-America enemies on the Left have
been allowed to set the rules of engagement. The Left dictates what
truths we can say out loud, what words we are permitted to use and what
is racist or mean.
Please note. I am neither supporting nor opposing Trump’s comments. I
am celebrating Trump’s refreshing unprecedented fearlessness in dealing
with the iron-fist, out-of-control bullying tactics of the Left/MSM.
I guess it goes back to my childhood living on the mean-streets of
Baltimore projects. I detested bullies. They were cowards and mean
opportunists. My cousin Jimmy, who loved to fight, taught me the power
of a strong military. I was small as a child. When bullies took my lunch
money, cousin Jimmy ended the problem. Nothing serious happened, but
the bullies knew not to “mess” with Jimmy’s cousin, Peanut (my
nickname).
I view the mainstream media and their Leftists partners as the
ultimate bullies, whipping Americans into submission, silencing our
right to free speech. It sticks in my craw that daring to state an
opinion other than the Left’s combined consensus on an issue means your
derriere is grass.
It also distresses me that whenever a conservative/Republican says
something that the Left chooses to distort and become hysterical about,
folks on our side run to microphones to say, “What so-and-so should have
said or really meant to say is…” Why surrender to the Left’s
distort-and-become-hysterical tactic?
Why kowtow to the Left/MSM, especially when we know they are wrongly
interpreting conservatives’ comments on purpose; publishing distortions,
exaggerations and lies about what a particular conservative/Republican
said?
The Left/MSM allows Democrats to make off-the-cuff outrageous
inflammatory statements insulting millions of Americans. Waters – “The
tea party can go straight to hell!” Grayson — “Republicans want you to
die quickly.” Schultz – “Republicans want to see you dead.” Carson –
“The tea party wants blacks hanging on a tree.” Obama about middle
America – “Clinging to their Bibles and guns.” Indicting millions,
President Carter said an “overwhelming portion” of the opposition to
Obama is because “he is a black man.”
Remember the Democrats’ outrageous lying ad showing a Republican pushing an old lady in a wheelchair over a cliff?
Then, there was the absurd shameful irresponsible Democrat ad warning
blacks that if they do not vote, they will need to send their kids to
school wearing bulletproof vests to protect them from being shot by
white police.
Has the MSM demanded that these Democrats apologize/walk back any of their false statements or hate generating ads? No.
Meanwhile, a conservative/Republican has to market test every word
that comes out of their mouths, less they suffer the Left’s
hysteria/wrath and shoulda-coulda-woulda from fellow
conservatives/Republicans. Folks, with the MSM deck so stacked against
us, standing up to the Left is extremely challenging. I just wish our
side was more forgiving and supportive of our fighters.
Name me one occasion in which a conservative/Republican walking back a
statement caused the Left/MSM to forgive him or her. Never. To the
Left, an apology is blood in the water, causing a media feeding frenzy
to devour a conservative or Republican. Every time one sheepishly
apologizes, it is another notch on the Left’s gun barrel; letting the
world know they are in charge.
This is what makes Trump’s defiance so remarkable and exhilarating.
Thus far Trump has not fallen for the Left’s tactic and become
terrorized into walking back his comments. As a matter of fact, Trump
routinely doubles down on his original statements. Sorry, folks, but I
love it. There’s a new sheriff in town. His name is Donald Trump.
Another trick of the Left/MSM is to claim that their hysterical
reactions reflect the feelings of a majority of the American people.
However, Trump’s addressing illegal immigration shot him to the top of
the polls.
Some say Trump is muddying the waters for “serious GOP candidates.” I
am not going to argue either way regarding that point. I will say that
it is about time someone stood up to these vipers (Leftist media).
A recent incident bears witness to how far PC and Leftist bullying
has gotten out of hand; infecting the Democratic party base. Democrat
presidential candidate Martin O’Malley was speaking at a Democrat
Netroots conference. He was interrupted by protesters screaming about
“black lives matter”. The protesters demanded that O’Malley repeat their
mantra. Allowing the protesters to hijack the meeting, O’Malley said
black lives matter. But when O’Malley added white lives and all lives
matter, the audience exploded in outrage, erupting with boos and curse
words.
Now, here is the kicker folks, Democrat presidential candidate Martin
O’Malley actually apologized for saying white lives and all lives
matter. (

Am I grateful for what Donald Trump has done? You betcha!
