November 10 headline from cnn.com:
Protesters target Trump buildings in massive street rallies
“In response to Trump's victory, a shocking win fueled by the rural roar of a dismayed white America, tens of thousands in at least 25 US cities -- including New York and Nashville, Chicago and Cleveland, San Francisco and Seattle -- shouted anti-Trump slogans, started fires, and held candlelight vigils to mourn the result.”
Apparently, tolerance is reserved for reactions that fuel the Progressive agenda.
Many people are in shock today. According to fivethirtyeight.com, nearly six million Americans voted, and all but a handful endorsed someone wholly unqualified to serve as our President. We’re not shocked that Donald Trump has been chosen to sit in the Oval Office. We’re shocked that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were allowed on the ballot at all.
Poet Joe Tarzana, at tarzanajoe.com offers an ode to the election results:
Clinton Agonistes:
I wish I had the lyric wit
Of Ogden Nash or Byron
To write the words of wisdom
That this moment is requirin’
But though I can’t approximate
What’s Nashian or Byrony
I can still to call attention
To the most exquisite irony
A selfish predilection
For opacity and secrecy
Coupled with a staff
That was selected for obsequesy
By trying to conceal herself
Behind a server’s shield
Her questionable judgment
Was, to the world, revealed
The pundits minimized the case
And claimed they were disgusted
But voters, on election day
Pronounced she couldn’t be trusted
A tragedy for some to write
For essayists, a gift
A subject less for Shakespeare
But rather more for Swift
A time of sound and fury
For who loses and who wins
But our revels have not ended
For it’s now the play begins.
(Bonus Poem–I know the way for Donald Trump
to make Barack his pal;
Give him, as a parting gift,
free tee-times at Doral)
May I suggest another poem title? Trumpeting Buffooneries.
There is a remnant of American patriots who are stunned that a woman whose life history includes political corruption, condemning victims of her husband’s sexual assaults, failures as Secretary of State, ignoring the pleas of those who died in Benghazi, violating federal statutes regarding national security, and proudly defending partial birth abortion could be a viable nominee for President, given that her elitist character has been defined as cruel, vindictive and heartless.
We’re appalled that “the party of values” would put its stamp of approval on a man who brags about how he has abused business partners, tax laws, and women. A fully grown man caught peeking at his wife’s ballot on election day. A rude, crude, aging egotist whose distasteful character was trumped only by his demagoguery. A President-elect who vilified illegal aliens after trading in two former wives to marry one who violated the rule of law by working in the U.S. as a lesbian porn model.
We're aghast because: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” John Adams, from BrainyQuote.
Only fools believe that an amoral or immoral President will fulfill the oath of office to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.”
Republicans can claim the win for 2016, but the nation will suffer unimaginable losses for years to come because voters have decided that morality is irrelevant to government. And it would have been the same with a Democratic win.
“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8
