The Anti-Trumpers Plan to “Shut Down the Economy on January 20” –They Are
Painfully Naïve & Stupid”
Progressives and the usual flock of
socialists plan to use the inauguration day to create civil unrest by setting a
tone of mass opposition [even though most cannot articulate a solid answer as
to why they dislike Trump] by skipping work in order to protest and to refuse to
buy anything on that day. [I’m not sure
if that includes fuel or a fast food meal on their way to the protest rally or
a beer after a hard day of protesting]…
In addition to a general
strike, many mindless groups are calling for a nationwide day of protest. Actions are planned in most major cities
[ironically, nothing is planned to protest all of the killings taking place by
gang members in Chicago] and the ANSWER Coalition, an activist group with
chapters across the nation, or organizing buses to take its zealots to
Washington DC.
Other protests include the
Women’s March on Washington but they don’t seem certain why they’re marching.
Despite Trump’s promise to
assist unions to regain US jobs and to create a better US child care system and
tax system some groups still plan to oppose Trump’s agenda – this makes
absolutely no sense and I question mandate of such under-educated voters with
misplaced priorities. Has our school
system been that successful in its effort to ‘dummy them down?”
Ironically…
While many Democrats are calling for a
shift back to the left and a rejection of the Clinton establishment, a recent poll from Gallop suggests that the population
is moving further away from the party's liberal wing. Indeed, Gallop found that more Americans
consider themselves conservative than liberal. Yet, the real story is the loss from the middle of the
spectrum.
Trump has never held
office, has never fed at the public teat, he’s actually created jobs, which is
more than you can say for politicians like Hillary and Obama. Yet, these miscreants are prejudging him,
often based on outdated, TV show materials.
Obama, for instance, never held a real job, had no international or
military experience and yet everyone trusted him and he ultimately turned out
to be incompetent.
President Obama has
resorted to regulatory end-runs to cement his legacy. As of April 2016, Obama
had already signed 392 new regulations, surpassing George W. Bush's 358 and
Bill Clinton's 361 (both of which were disgraceful in their own right). At that
time, there were 47 more sitting on his desk waiting to be signed. Obama will
be the first president to enact more than 400 regulations while in office. His
massive regulatory push has essentially declared war on the private sector.
Over 82,000 pages of new recommendations were made last year (a new record). If
they had all been put into force, business would likely be impossible to
conduct in America. Still, Obama's bureaucrats have cost business $197
billion and added 127 million hours of paperwork for private industry.
To put that in
perspective for families, Obama's regulatory agenda cost Americans $784 million
every day the federal government operated in 2015. Most of these costs were due
to new environmental (e.g., global warming, air quality, coal ash) and health rules.
The think tank American Action Forum (AAF) compiled economic data on all the
regulations federal agencies proposed and finalized last year. They found that
Obama's agenda cost every voter $838 for the year. Those are direct costs. That
number doesn't include opportunity costs, the costs of regulations already on
the books, or the compounding of wealth not realized because of previous costs
of regulation – which is the biggest loss of all. As Einstein is said to have
stated, "Compound interest is the most powerful force in the
universe." Think of the losses your grandchildren will suffer because
of Obama's destructiveness.
If you include
regulations already on the books, the direct cost for complying with federal
regulations amounts to nearly $15,000 per year for the average US household. And this number doesn't include taxes,
lost wages, and other costs from decades of regulation
I look at other areas
where Obama has screwed up [not just his health care fiasco which I warned him
about from the get-go]…his latest censorship effort:
Government censorship of anything it classifies as disinformation: This year’s National
Defense Authorization Act, which allocates $619 billion for war and military
spending, not only allows the military to indefinitely detain American citizens
by placing them beyond the reach of the Constitution, but it also directs the
State Department to establish
a national anti-propaganda center to “counter disinformation and
propaganda.” Translation: the government plans to crack down on anyone
attempting to exercise their First Amendment rights by exposing government
wrongdoing, while persisting in peddling its own brand of fake news.
Famed
trend researcher Gerald Celente of TrendsResearch.com, predicts the economy is
not going to rebound thanks to the global situation that created an environment
for financial peril. Trump is a better
choice than Hillary as he’s inheriting a mess of epic proportions from
President Obama [sound familiar?]
The
ultimate question becomes…Where were
these protestors during the past eight years of Obama’s presidency?
Given that main stream
media has pretty much become ineffective [they can’t even produce meaningful
documentaries] all a national strike
will accomplish will be something akin to Hollywood gossip and drool. If people are serious about becoming a force
for good, I would remind them it starts in their own neighborhood. Parents need to get involved with their
children and their schools [stop letting videogames and smart phones be the
parent, get them to read and explore, visit the library and the museum, go in
family field trips, discuss life, have them get involved with 4H or the Boy
Scouts and Girls Scouts, Junior Achievement, volunteering, Etc.. These activities will have a larger,
more meaningful impact in the long run than holding up a sign in the street.
Yours for a pleasant & productive

They'll never learn will they? I'm still waiting for all those Hollywood hypocrites like Rosie O'Donnel to leave the country [we're better off without her].
Everyone has the right to protest but from what I've seen this year, most Dems have little knowledge or tolerance which is why they lost the election.
How many liberals does it take to change a light bulb? Answer? Zero...it has to go to committee.
Excellent piece by the way!
Liberal policies have nearly destroyed this country with their over regulation and their intolerance [in the name of tolerance of course]. They remind me communists.
