Post-Debate Thought

Comment I made yesterday during the second 2016 Presidential debate:

You know what I'm sick and tired of?

All sorts of "news" and entertainment media acting so offended and and horrified about braggadocio-male Trump when those same media people entities have been debasing American culture and the traditional American ethos for at least three decades!


And for the record...Donald Trump did apologize — at least twice.

    1. Not "strife" so much as the deadly cocktail of SEX mixed with equal parts OPPROBRIUM and DENIGRATION.

      People like nothing better than a good excuse to POINT their FINGERS at a designated TARGET –– and that's a FACT. Our benighted species loves to find good excuses to despise and condemn others.

      The ever-present LUST to CONDEMN and PUNISH under the guise of RIGHTEOUSNESS is the single most objectionable aspect of the Human Condition. I would even go so far as to say that IT –– not the love of filthy lucre –– is the TRUE Root of All Evil.

  4. For the likes of Anderson Cooper to grill Trump about his "violence toward women" crapola is pure comedy. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't "Mr." Cooper engage in deviant erotica with other men? And he's worried about Trump and women? I'm quite certain he doesn't talk about pussy, but you can bet your bottom last nickel that he comments on the derrieres of men.

    1. I really don't care about Trumps 2005 conversation, but sexual harassment or assault is measured and definable. Notions of sexual "deviancy", where consensual, is defined only by personal bias or morality, no?

    2. It's rare when WHAT we SAY –– or even DO –– really matters. It is the WAY we say it, and the WHY we do it that should interest and concern us most.

      Dull literalistic, legalistic, one-dimensional, non-interpretations of phenomena are KILLING us. They do much to defeat originality, stifle creativity, and constipate the flow of critical thinking. They do this by defining "worthiness" as a mere matter of obeying rules codified by others for the supposed "good of all."

      And yes, I suppose that does make me an advocate of "nuanced" thinking. A charge to which I proudly plead guilty.

      REALITY is never SIMPLE.

    5. YOU have to put aside the personalities...it's hard enough to look at Hillary and hear that voice, the bug eyes every time she goes into her rote memorization mode....I have to get past HER and think of her leftwing agenda, even more left than we'd thought until the speech texts were finally released (and oh, yes, I KNOW, when it's the Left that's done something, the media says it's not verified...hilarious. Let Trump do anything, and it's all over the news, verified or not)...So, if I have to look past her, and I have to look past Trump, which also isn't easy, I am adult enough to see what she wants for America, what he wants for America, realize both can probably do little of it, and vote the platform anyway. Read this again, it will help.

      A vulgar George Bush? Ridiculous. George Bush never even criticized Obama all these years, and that's showing class beyond what most of us know.

      By the way, there are many books and articles by secret service and other agencies which expose horrid things about HIllary...swearing, not allowing officers uniforms at the WH, throwing things,..you name it. But, that doesn't get much air time......the Leftwing media doesn't believe it, so it isn't true?
      But let anybody say "Trump called me UGLY" and it's CERTAINLY VERIFIABLE, EVEN IF IT ISN'T :-)

      leftists need to realize what a mess they've made of America; a Third World country thrives only with a one-sided media fanning flames of one side or the other....that's democracy?

    6. What bothered you most about the speeches?

      We KNEW she's a free trader and supported TPP so that's hardly a surprise. Since TPP is an abomination and she is going to be our next president you should hope the Berniebots are successful pushing her left.

      I imagine you are concerned that Breitbart reported she's for open borders but we on the left who get objective reporting know she was only referring to the free flow of kapital, not labor.

      So I'm curious if you can be specific about any new revelations.

      As I said to silverfiddle, Trump wants to back us into extreme nationalism and mercantilism. Why do you support that?

  5. "Debasing" American culture is a little nebulous.

    It might refer to gay rights, abortion, or lowest common denominator pop culture.

    In the case of pop culture the culprit is concentrated ownership and the chase for profit than anything else.
    There are pockets of solid content available but they have to be sought out. The worst happened when "news" became a profit center dedicated to pandering and never offending corporate sponsors.
    The same with music and film. Shallow youth oriented content has drowned out more substantial fare.

    But if anyone suggests we should try to subsidize the arts through arts councils and the like he would immediately be shouted down.

      The CHURCH and the ARISTOCRACY did COMMISSION most of the great work that was done, of course, but the artists were paid PEANUTS even by the standards of the time.

      There is a peculiar JOY in exercising creative talent that a mere cataloguer of the achievements made by OTHERS who regards "Art" as an academic subject, could never understand.

      Upon a thorn.


      ~ Dorothy Parker (1893-1967)

      Parker was so much more than most imagined her to be. The public never really knew her at all. IF you read all of poems and short stories, as I have, you would be amazed at the depths of sweetness, sadness, wistfulness and compassion she had –– traits kept masked most f the time by a facade of scathing, brittle wit.

  6. Trump was brilliant. Expecting grief about the sex talk tape, he held a predebate press conference with several of Bill Clinton's victims, then had them sit in the audience during the debate. Hillary offered no rebuttal to Trump's mention of her attempts to intimidate and marginalize those victims. With his back to the wall and nothing to lose, he came out swinging. And won!

      Does anyone in the enemedia ever bother to go to the "Fact Checkers," (ROFLMAO!) to find evidence that could SUPPORT her assertions?

      I'm sure SME of her claims could be verified, BUT the question no one is asking is this:

      Gotta have something on the lighter side in all this.

      In all seriousness, however, last night I noticed Mrs. Trump's blouse and thought, "I've never seen her wear a blouse like that that one."

      And today I find out that the blouse was sporting a "pussy bow." HAHAHAHA!

    2. Oh you women notice stuff like that. I just thought she looked beautiful and glamorous, but eminently respectable as she usually does. Mr. Trump's whole FAMILY is a great credit to him. Even The Witch had to admit that.

      The Left will seize on ANYTHING and try to USE it to make their enemies look bad. If Mr. Trump had SNEEZED while Her Heinous was mouthing off, the enemedia would have said they KNEW he did it deliberately just to be RUDE to Her.

    3. FT,
      Of course she looked beautiful! And the Trump family is a credit to Donald Trump. I didn't say otherwise.

      I simply noted that Mrs. Trump's blouse wasn't her "usual"-- at least in my own observation.

      BTW, HRC's clothing wasn't her usual either. Probably a message there (a Commander-in-Chief connotation? Definitely power dressing instead of a sack-like tunic) -- although I haven't read anything about any such message.

    1. From the link that SF left:

      President Obama has singled out Beyoncé for praise, and the singer is a big Hillary Clinton supporter, to not a word of protest from Clinton regarding her status as a role model for young girls. Bill Clinton met with Beyoncé and her husband, rapper Jay Z, in September. If Bill or Hillary thinks the lyrics of Jay Z’s “Big Pimpin‘” “horrific,” in Hillary’s words, they are not letting on...

      Go to the link to read the words of the so-called song.

      And that song isn't offensive? Clearly, it is! Much more so that Donald Trump's locker-room talk.

  17. _ ANTHEM of PRAISE to a SECULAR SAINT _

    
Hillary Rodham Clinton is more saintly than Joan of Arc and Mother Teresa combined. She has devoted her entire adult life fulfilling her childhood dreams of serving the needs of those less fortunate, especially WOMEN, CHILDREN, and those AFFLICTED with DREAD DISEASES. 

She has sacrificed every opportunity with her fancy Ivy League law degree to capitalize on her fine education. Instead of joining a prestigious Eastern Elite Law Firm and making millions of dollars helping fat cats grow fatter by screwing the little people, and grinding their heels into the necks of the poor, this gallant lady has instead played the role of a modern missionary reaching deep into the ghettos, the factories and the farms pouring unstintingly from her bottomless Wellspring of Compassion to aid low level workers in their desperate struggle against Institutionalized Oppression by their heartless, cruel, greedy, selfish, insensitive, creepy Capitalist employers. 

Instead of being persecuted by the mean-spirited Reactionary Racist Right Wing with trumped up stories that claim malfeasance on her part, this noble, selfless, endearing woman should be IDOLIZED, REVERED, LIONIZED and yes ––– CANONIZED. 

If anyone has ever deserved to be called a SAINT, surely it must be that vision of loveliness, that tower of ivory, that paragon of virtue, that mystical rose, that overwhelming fount of wisdom, warmth, compassion, sweetness and boundless generosity, surely it must be the Next President of the United States of America, HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON.

Now get down indoor knees, bow your head, Sing Hosanna, Give three Cheers, and shout VIVAT! VIVAT! VAGINA!!!

  21. Here's another nugget from Hillary bagman John "compost" Podesta's leaked e-mail:

    WikiLeaks: Podesta and Left-Wing Activist Plot ‘Catholic Spring’

    “There needs to be a Catholic Spring, in which Catholics themselves demand the end of a middle ages dictatorship and the beginning of a little democracy and respect for gender equality in the Catholic Church,” Sandy Newman, president and founder of the progressive nonprofit Voices for Progress, writes to Podesta in an email titled “opening for a Catholic Spring? just musing.”

    In response, Podesta assures Newman to rest easy for he and his progressive pals have already created organizations explicitly designed to infiltrate the Catholic Church with progressive ideology, though he cautions that the time may not be right for full revolution — just yet.


    Here's the damning quote straight from Compost's wicked fingers:

    “We created Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good to organize for a moment like this. But I think it lacks the leadership to do so now. Likewise Catholics United. Like most Spring movements, I think this one will have to be bottom up,” Podesta writes.

    These globalist leftwing rats and cockroaches have infested, perverted, and corrupted every human institution.

    Soros is funding chaos all over the globe.

    Has anyone considered that Wikileaks may be true socialists in the mold of George Orwell, and they have spotted the Soros-funded globalists as leftists in disguise? This will zoom over the heads of the America's indoctrinated, thought-free latte leftists.

    In conclusion, none of this will matter.

      Or, votes over principle.

      One of my laws of history:

    4. TC,
      I get where you're coming from.

      We all get where you're coming from.

      There is no longer any persuasion.

      The devolution of our republic is nearly fully accomplished.
