Okay, so the election didn’t go their way. Is that any reason to be in the streets, burning American flags and chanting “Not Our President”? What is this, a third world country?
Academia is up in arms and offering the traumatized students among other things therapy dogs, crayons and coloring books, free passes out to exams and crying rooms. Apparently safe spaces were not enough.
Now seriously folks just stop the BS.
Twice Obama was elected but did the opposition go to the streets, need to be coddled or otherwise protected. Seems that the left is not constrained by anything that passes for adult behavior or good manners.
Am I to understand that the left gets offended every time they are not agreed with or something or other goes a different way. Am I also to understand that when things go against them it is America’s fault and warrants the burning of the flag, rioting and other acts of civil (not so much) disobedience.
The founders of this country have put a system in place that has survived for over two hundred years. It is this very system that gives the 50 states the voice by way of the Electoral College. Without this system of electing a President smaller states would be ignored and left out of the process. It was an act of genius and something we should treasure. Every four years the rumblings are that it is outdated and should be somehow modified or replaced. That would be folly and potentially disastrous.
The transfer of power is a hallmark of what America is. The President, the President-elect and Mrs. Clinton all came out yesterday and called for a healing and moving forward as a united people. All politics were placed aside and they spoke as leaders. They do not see eye to eye by any stretch of the imagination but understand that the ability to disagree and still lead is built into our governing documents. Anything less would immediately put the United States into the same category of a backward third world country.
The snowflakes in the streets are a product of academic and parental failure. On the part of academia history (without revisionism) is barely taught. For years students, have not learned about the history of our country, the struggles, the gains, the wars, the progress, the leadership that is the United States. Without perspective, without understanding of where we have been there can be no foundation for where we will go in the future. Today’s parents, many of whom are from the hippie generation, have proved to be weak in terms of teaching respect, self-reliance, humility and basic good manners. The peace and love generation virtually invented protesting and anarchy and are passing it along. Time outs, participation trophies, allowing the challenge of legitimate authority by parents creates a child that is lacking in formation and centered solely on their own wants and wishes.
Support for bad behavior begets more bad behavior. Look no further than the Occupy Wall Street or the Black Live Matter agenda’s. Once acknowledged and not challenged this things fester and return over and over again with more strength.
Persons that hold legitimate positions of authority must denounce the unrest of the weakest part of our population.
