&lt;/b&gt;

*Smirts* Nice try, but you know it&#039;s not going to work as well as I do. OM&#039;s reaction being challenged on the Christian Gospel, was pretty amusing to see. Why dontcha repeat that one for us.

You know, the one about how you think no power exists that can change human nature. It&#039;ll be more funny than the hiker line, which you over use past the date of heresy. An atheist can easily claim that, but didn&#039;t you mention something about being a Christian, OM.

&lt;b&gt;Where have we heard that before? Who is Hitler now?

&lt;/b&gt;

You believing in Leftist propaganda and paying attention to it is how you fell into the trap.

Stop falling for Leftist traps and maybe people will be able to talk about what the objective truth is. It&#039;s like you think the Matrix is under your control because you keep talking about the red pill but you&#039;ve never actually taken it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[@Ben - I&#039;ve seen plenty from the &quot;right&quot; that make equally bad lump assumptions about the &quot;left&quot;.
.

EVERY election has consequences for every single one of us.

BUT, so long as we have democratic processes, it is up to us to work to convincing enough of the population that our ideas are superior.
.

The downside of our democratic processes is to the extent the extreme left or the extreme right gain power and influence, then we all lose that much more of what we all are claiming here we want.

This is very much why the title of this article is salient &quot;Executive Power for Me, And Not for Thee&quot;, as it covers much more than the issue the article focused on.  Some see the only answer as using that elected power only for their own tribe&#039;s benefit.

With every subsequent round of elections we see a legal arms race of each side building more laws, centralizing more power.  At some point there needs to be a major deescalation.

From a recent post you made (forget where it is now) it sure doesn&#039;t look like you want to deescalate whatsoever.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thanks fot the links, Big Maq. I should search before speaking.

The left continues to show daily that it believes not only Trump, but all Trump supporters and, by association, Republicans are subhuman cancers that must be removed by any means.  Where have we heard that before? Who is Hitler now?  

Ive enjoyed Neo&#039;s writing but you all seem to think that this will pass and, in any case, will not really affect you. Good luck with that.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ben Jacobs:

I&#039;m puzzled by your reaction.  This blog is loaded with 11 years of criticism of the left, both in the posts and in the comments.  There are certain commenters here (I won&#039;t name them, but there&#039;s more than one) who are fairly obsessed with the dangers of the left.

And in fact, plenty of people here who voted only reluctantly for Trump did so &lt;i&gt;only&lt;/i&gt; because they felt they needed to stop the left&#039;s advance &lt;i&gt;now&lt;/i&gt;.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Whenever I post here, I have a second thought. 
Am I the only person on this thread outraged by the conduct of the left?  You all seem more outraged by little old me!  
What do you propose that Trump do, especially when dealing with determined Alinskyites?  
If Trump is coopted by establishment republicans, which we see happening hour by hour, where will the army of the dispossessed that put him in office go in 2020? It will not be to republicans.  Then you should worry. 
I hope for the best, but expect the worst. It&#039;s nice to be an optimist, but it must be coupled with action to bring about the desired result. The left is proving every day that merely voting is not enough. Nor is criticising me.  
Best.]]></description>

&quot;I was hoping after a Trump win all the doom talk would end ....:
That was my hope too and is why I am so angry (a) at the left for its unrelenting attacks and doom talk and (b) Trump and supporters for accepting it as their due.
There is nothing Trump can do before January 20. After that, however, he needs to stand up for the people who elected him. He won by challenging political correctness.  I may be wrong (frequently am), but I think that was key. It was for me.
My critics here seem more aligned with the establishment wing of the Republican party. Fine, but they have never had what it takes to win. 
No one mentioned the article 5 convention of the states. Pull out your pocket constitution. It&#039;s fascinating.
