This is how I hope most people will act during the next four years, but judging from all the demonstrations and general mental unrest, I think it will take a while for the fact that the world hasn't ended to completely sink in.Mad Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190137186843630543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531929769862216250.post-70477162017914474072016-11-20T14:15:27.019-05:002016-11-20T14:15:27.019-05:00Thanks, CWMartin.

I'm really not trying to gloat about the victory so much as I'm pointing out the obvious - conservatives and Trump supporters have been putting up with commercial media bias and blatant falsehoods from the left for the entire campaign, and a lot of us are tired of it. Added to that is the Liberal Extremist's refusal to compromise on anything for the past 8 years while their fearless leader shoved it down our throats (but it was for our own good, and we know what's best for all of us), and now we'll see some protection of <i>all</i> our civil rights.<br /><br />Okay, I'm trying really hard not to gloat a little.Mad Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190137186843630543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531929769862216250.post-14179013714474035752016-11-14T09:46:36.734-05:002016-11-14T09:46:36.734-05:00I did not support Donald Trump for President. Howe...I did not support Donald Trump for President. However, Donald Trump has won the election via the Electoral College. That being said, I will support our President of the United States, Donald Trump. My support of the President is not blind loyalty; I do reserve the American right to disagree with President-Elect Trump, but will not abandon the principles upon which the Republic has been founded. The President is th President is the President! Come January 20, 2017, Donald Trump will be President. <br /><br />I shall take my leave now with a favorite quote of mine in closing:<br />"The name-calling needs to stop. The personal attacks and belittling of individuals based solely on different political perspective needs to stop. All Americans need to pull together. Divisiveness will not accomplish anything positive. It is time for what I call some real D.I.R.T., i.e. Democrats, Independents, (and) Republicans (working) Together. If we, the American people, set aside the distrust, if we set aside the hostility, if we set aside the verbal tirades, if we set aside the casting of stones, if we set aside pointing out blame, if we set aside pettiness, we just might be able to work together for the mutual benefit of all Americans." ~ Roland Louis HansenRoland Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14510269002146276854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531929769862216250.post-58632913164588050612016-11-09T20:28:39.215-05:002016-11-09T20:28:39.215-05:00Wow.

Plus, while I know in my heart we did a good thing last night, I'm not quite convinced it's gloatworthy.<br />CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.com
