He was a good American who taught very good lessons for sure.

The only part of his legacy I find distasteful is that he gave into the lust and went to the government cheese trough instead of working to convince private funders that his program was worth it.

I agree, but I’m not sure if the opposite is true either. It’s the point of making this thread.

quote:

 
We Right-thinking people have tried dignity.  There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency.  We tried statesmanship.  Could there be another human being on this earth who so desperately prized “collegiality” as John McCain?  We tried propriety – has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney?  And the results were always the same.

This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality and propriety, the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob.

I don’t find anything “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper” about Barack Obama’s lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds because racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party.  I don’t see anything “dignified” in lying about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi and imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your tracks.  I don’t see anything “statesman-like” in weaponizing the IRS to be used to destroy your political opponents and any dissent.  Yes, Obama was “articulate” and “polished” but in no way was he in the least bit “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper.”

The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the ‘60s.   To them, it has been an all-out war where nothing is held sacred and nothing is seen as beyond the pale.  It has been a war they’ve fought with violence, the threat of violence, demagoguery and lies from day one – the violent take-over of the universities – till today.

The problem is that, through these years, the Left has been the only side fighting this war.  While the Left has been taking a knife to anyone who stands in their way, the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality and propriety.

With Donald Trump, this all has come to an end.  Donald Trump is America’s first wartime president in the Culture War.

During wartime, things like “dignity” and “collegiality” simply aren’t the most essential qualities one looks for in their warriors.  Ulysses Grant was a drunk whose behavior in peacetime might well have seen him drummed out of the Army for conduct unbecoming.  Had Abraham Lincoln applied the peacetime rules of propriety and booted Grant, the Democrats might well still be holding their slaves today.   Lincoln rightly recognized that, “I cannot spare this man.  He fights.”

General George Patton was a vulgar-talking, son-of-a-bitch.  In peacetime, this might have seen him stripped of rank.  But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied the normal rules of decorum, then Hitler and the Socialists would barely be five decades into their thousand-year Reich. 

Trump is fighting.  And what’s particularly delicious is that, like Patton standing over the battlefield as his tanks obliterated Rommel’s, he’s shouting, “You magnificent bastards, I read your book!”  That is just the icing on the cake, but it’s wonderful to see that not only is Trump fighting, he’s defeating the Left using their own tactics.

That book is Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals – a book so essential to the Liberals’ war against America that it is and was the playbook for the entire Obama administration and the subject of Hillary Clinton’s senior thesis.   It is a book of such pure evil, that, just as the rest of us would dedicate our book to those we most love or those to whom we are most indebted, Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer.

Trump’s tweets may seem rash and unconsidered but, in reality, he is doing exactly what Alinsky suggested his followers do. 

First, instead of going after “the fake media” – and they are so fake that they have literally gotten every single significant story of the past 60 years not just wrong, but diametrically opposed to the truth, from the Tet Offensive to Benghazi, to what really happened on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri – Trump isolated CNN.  He made it personal.  Then, just as Alinsky suggests, he employs ridicule which Alinsky described as “the most powerful weapon of all.”

So, say anything you want about this president – I get it, he can be vulgar, he can be crude, he can be undignified at times.  I don’t care.  I can’t spare this man.  He fights

We didn’t start this my brother, and we aren’t promoting antifa, BLM, and glorifying the murder of law enforcement officers, are calling for the empeachmemt of sitting president simply because it wasn’t our candidate, or rioting in the street for complete open boarders. Do I need to go on!!! Because I could

Why are you being such a fricking a-hole on this board tonight? Going after everybody.

I NEVER said anything about the contents of that speech, which I have seen before and warmed by it.

I simply am uncomfortable with seeking government-procured funding for your projects rather than the willing money of private persons.

It would be ridiculous if Chicken went to congress and demanded funds to maintain tigerdroppings. It is cronyism and favoritism and is something I simply cannot support as a traditional conservative.

BTW, I would have gladly given lots of money to his show.

Because you said going after public funding was distasteful when it is one of the most inspiring congressional speeches ever televised. That was a great gain to society that he won that.

And if you want to cry, here’s where Mr Rogers was inducted into the TV Hall of Fame where he’s presented it by an unexpected person: LINK

We will agree to disagree on the funding part.

We agree the man was a very good influence on America.

I, as a traditional conservative. simply am very uncomfortable with people using force of govt to support their priorities. I favor voluntary transactions and civil institutions consisting of private, cooperative, kind people helping others for causes they WILLINGLY deem worthy of funds.

If that makes me crass and cruel, so be it. I do find it ridiculous that you are calling me immoral for disagreeing with you on this issue.

It doesn’t make you bad or cruel, I think it’s probably the single worst example to go after. It’s prime to make people rake you over the coals for it since it worked out so well and how inspirational it is.

Ah yes. The good old days when republicans used to shite on cop cars, open fire on democrst lawmakers, break beer bottles over the heads of liberal protesters, and call for the public harassment of their “Nazi” children.

I remember them well.

Way to live up to Fred Rogers legacy. I’m sure he would give you a thunderous applause for doing vicious insults simply for me saying that mindless insults are appalling. Way to lose the debate just on concept.

That was cool. A peripheral / off-topic thing I liked on there was his using “he” as a gender neutral pronoun. Took me back to a place in time when America wasn’t so PC.
