Liberal Arrows

According to Nancy Pelosi (and Elizabeth Warren?), America’s  liberals have a lot of arrows in their quivers to threaten who, for many years, have been spineless Republicans. Here are some of them so far identified (I’m sure there are many more arrows):

=> Make states out of Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia =  four more Democrat Senators

=> Accuse Republicans of being racists, homophobes or sexists ... often all three

=> Fulminate violent rioting and mayhem in the streets

=> Eliminate the filibuster rule in the Senate

=> Call Trump & Company white supremacist, Nazis, etc.

=> Impeach the President, the Attorney General, etc.

=> Obliterate the electoral college

=> Pull down statues, rename locales and cover our cities with graffiti both unsanctioned and sanctioned

=> Physically threaten conservatives with bodily harm

=> Stop enforcing the law in many of our major cities and defund the police


That is, this was the case until Donald Trump reminded us that we all have backbones.


STAND UP FOR AMERICA!

Sticks and Stones

White supremacists, xenophobes, Islamophobes, anti-Semites, sexists, Nazis, KKKers, racists, even Putin's cock holster -- these are some of the brickbats that the left loves to throw around "like candy" to keep conservatives off balance. And, all too frequently, they work to stifle many voices of those who actually fit none of these slurs. That old saying that "sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me" may work in the playground ... but not on the political stage. These "names" have been effective at silencing the right.

Whose fault is it that these epithets do take hold? Obviously, if they didn't work, they wouldn't be in wide use.Well, not the accused ... since very few actually meet these descriptors. But Trump did get this game going with his often-clever nicknames for his opponents, both Republican and Democrat. Now, in retaliation, the left and the media have found a few unfortunate molehills (like those few dopes in Charlottesville) that they can now turn into these Everest smears ... the starting list given above.

Moreover, of late, the left has apparently  decided that slanders are not sufficiently vindictive, So its ANTIFA, Black Lives Matter and other Trump-resistance sects have resorted to those old reliables ... sticks and stones.

ANTIFA

A -- Aggresive Assinine Anarchists

N -- Notoriously Noxious Nazis

T -- Timorous Teutonic Terrorists

I -- Inane Insipid Idiots

F -- Fatuous Fascist Fruitcakes

A -- Absolutely Anemic Assholes

Horse Feathers

Much of the American media and the Clinton crime family are working overtime to try to tie Steve Bannon and, by implication his boss, Donald Trump, to the so-called "alt-right" movement. We were introduced to this term this past summer by Hellary Clinton when she contemptuously spat it out. If you, like me, want to understand what this new pejorative means, try reading the USA Today Article.

After perusing this USA Today explanation, I can find little if any tangible ties between Bannon or Trump and the alt-right movement ... or even find any substance to the movement itself. And, I have been reading Breitbart News for years and I don't recall ever seeing any Nazi or white nationalist propaganda there. So, try as they might, please view the alt-left's attempt to so smear Bannon and Trump to be horse feathers.

On Slurs

Listening to National Public Radio today, I realized that there are a set of hate words that are bad and then, there are those that are worse. On a radio program here in Bosto, our Attorney General, Maura Healey, went through the litany of Hellary Clinton's favorite slurs on her opponents -- sexists, racists, homophobes, xenophobes, Islamophobes ... in the same order as those she included in her proverbial "basket of deplorables." These were the often epithets used to try to slime the winning side in the recent presidential election.

Apparently, since these words were ineffective at the polls, the über left is having a mega-meltdown ... and now have reached into their grab bag of slights to up the ante. Now Trump's selections for his administration were then labeled by Healey as white supremacists and alt-rights. Other media poobahs have called them KKKers, anti-Semites, Nazis and hateful bigots. AG Healey then said on this program that she had set up an 800 hot-line for people to call to rat out those who were exhibiting Hellary's suppose deplorable traits.

Surprise, surprise! Before lunch was over, this hot-line had been maxed out with calls from listeners who mostly pointed out that Healey herself was the biggest offender with her on-air labeling of  Trump voters with these newer slurs.

Now AG Healey's face must be as red as her politics ...

Sticks and Stones

Last night at an Everly Brothers-like  concert here in deep-blue Massachusetts I happened to mention to the woman in front of me that I was planning to vote for Trump. Over the next intermission minutes, as the news "whispered" down the aisle, one patron after the other turned to view with derision at this political aberration -- me. This spawned the idea for this blog post ... all the epithets that we Trump supporters have been called by various luminaries over the last few weeks. Here are just some of the things that we intended Trump voters have been smeared with. Sticks and stones:

Basket of deplorables
Inhuman humans
KKK
Rednecks
Trumpets
White nationalists
Facists
Nazis
Scum of the Earth
Non-college graduates
Fact-free racists
Sexists
Homophobes
Xenophobes
Islamophobes
Irredeemables
Un-Americans
Poorly informed voters
Bigoted thugs
Trumpkins
Fearful, resentful voters

Enough? If you want a more complete compendium  of who we are or what we represent see: The Gateway Pundit. And Donald Trump is called hateful and a divider!

Afterward: These ersatz Everly Brothers had nowhere near the harmonizing talent of Phil and Don.

Triggers

A "trigger" is a newspeak term denoting a statement or symbol meant as a call to action:
