Deplorable for the Ages- the Opposition and its Response to Trump’s Inauguration

Deplorable for the Ages- the Opposition and its Response to Trump’s Inauguration

Well, this much is certain.

The Democrats including President Obama, himself, their collusive allies in the mainstream media, Obama’s appointees to the nation’s intelligence communities, and even Republicans who worked against his candidacy from its start, have done everything they could do, to cast aspersions on Donald Trump’s presidency and besmirch him the office he has quite fairly and legitimately earned, in a election landslide of electoral votes. They have blamed, in the weeks which have followed Trump’s election, FBI Director James Comey, the Russians, the electoral college system itself, and even (get this) the media, to explain how it was, that he won and how they lost an election they assumed was in the bag. They have set upon Trump’s cabinet designees, grilling them on Donald Trump’s statements and positions to allege internal division and incompetence, and have even sunk to slandering Jeff Sessoms, specifically, accusing him of racism- all for the sole purpose of trashing the nation’s forty-fifth president in the week(s) before he takes office.

Some have even accused the president-elect of being a de facto agent of the Russian Federation, under the direct threat of blackmail on the part of Vladimir Putin. Most recently, Representative John Lewis (D-GA) has accused Trump of being illegitimate to the presidency itself, blaming his election and Hillary Clinton’s “destroyed candidacy” on the Russian involvement. As of this writing, twenty-six of his fellow Democrats in the Congress have thus far indicated that they will boycott the inauguration in protest to his presidency.

If all of this sounds eerily familiar- it should. This same tactic of seeking to deny Trump’s existential and legitimate claim to the nation’s highest office is not unlike the Palestinian (btw, generally supported by Democrats) tactic of denying Israel’s existential right to exist.

In essence, to deny Trump the respect of the office of the presidency, itself, is to violate the spirit and the dictates of the Constitution, itself. Not that it would matter to those who place their party above the nation. Interestingly enough, Rep. Lewis has also boycotted both of George W. Bush’s inaugurations, and has accused every past Republican nominee of varying degrees of racism, essentially selling out his civil rights bona fides in such acts of sheer partisanship. Conveniently, it also gives Rep. Lewis and his fellow Democrats an excuse to be entirely uncooperative to work with President Trump going forward, which is exactly what they were instructed to do by President Barack Obama, in his farewell speech to a crowd of supporters in Chicago, when he admonished them to offer no help to Republicans on healthcare, and other issues.

It is no stretch to imagine that if Republicans had greeted Obama’s election in such a way, back in 2008 (and 2012) by boycotting his inauguration(s), they would have been pilloried with accusations of racism and would have likely been censured for doing so.

For his own part, President Obama has attempted to put the “schneid” on Trump, using his last few weeks to join the world in condemning Israel- a first for the U.S. (abstaining on the recent UN resolution), suddenly placing sanctions on the Russian Federation more than a year after he learned of their hacking on the Democratic National Committee, and freeing an ever growing number of Guantanamo detainees to countries which have no intention of keeping them off the battlefield.

Obama’s and, for that matter, Hillary Clinton’s acolytes in the Democrat Party- a party which has lost over one thousand seats in the state houses, governorships and Congress, combined, since Obama took office in 2009- now deign to lower themselves even more, in their petulant postulations and pathetic protests to the presidency of his successor.

So incensed that one Donald J. Trump had the temerity and guile, to upset their intent to have Hillary crowned, that most in the mainstream media and in the entertainment industry have collectively placed an evil eye of scorn and damnation on the man before he even takes office. For its own part, the mainstream media has given voice to trash news, following the release of classified documents to BuzzFeed- documents so fallacious that they should never have been given credence in the first place by the CIA, whose director, John Brennan has assailed Trump in a manner most unbefitting his office.

Worse, all of the aforementioned have demonstrated unquestionable contempt for the citizens of this nation, both those who voted for and against its forty-fifth president, by demonstrating ill will and wretched disregard for the president who was elected by the people, themselves.

Mark that history will record that all of this will have ushered in the beginning of the end to the Democrat Party, itself, and specifically for what it has become, in these last years. In their deplorable behavior, they have thus de-legitimized themselves to the consequences of their own demagoguery. Good riddance to them all.

There’s a new day ahead, America. Take heart.
