Forgotten Americans Spoke

Intro to ‘Forgotten Americans Spoke’

This part-essay and part op-ed piece is quite thought provoking. Justin Smith writes about how Americans rose up and voted for Trump largely repudiating the Obama legacy and the continued Crony-Leftism of Crooked Hillary.

Justin praises the electoral system and the wisdom of the Founding Fathers to make that a part of their American experiment. And that made me think of the hysterical Leftist in the tank Clintonistas going ballistic breaking the public order with vandalism and violence. There is a Left Wing push to those responsible for the Electoral College to reject the Constitutional path to POSTUS and revote according to the national popular vote which as of this writing has Crooked Hillary up by a mere .2% over President-Elect Trump.

For those that didn’t pay attention in school, one of the reasons for the Electoral College is to balance political power between populous States and less populous States. If you look at a Hillary vs. Trump map as affecting the Constitutional Electoral College, YOU will notice Trump’s victory is a virtual landslide in terms of the Electoral College.

The below map was for 11/14/16 with Trump at 290 and Crooked Hillary at 228 as of 1:05 PM ET with Michigan nearly to be able to be declared for Trump (add 16 Electoral votes to Trump column):

Forgotten Americans Spoke

OR -- Leftist Heads Spin

Donald J. Trump will be sworn in as the 45th President of the United States on January 20th, 2017, in large part because he so easily and defiantly laughed in the face of the D.C. establishment types, who thought he was a joke, and he turned the old political order on its head. Trump rejected soul-draining and mind-numbing identity politics and double standards in the law, that centered on whether one was a Republican or Democrat. He addressed the real issues of the day from immigration and "refugee" policies to Obamacare and national security, and he bluntly outlined how our world is filled with enemies, adversaries and competitors as well as friends. He opened a pathway for Americans to forcefully oppose the long-entrenched D.C. establishment, and the hyphen-free Americans took it, as they chose to make America work for all Americans, not just those in power.

Certainly, it is a positive act for any candidate to be magnanimous in victory, as Trump is showing. But he shouldn't fall for the Leftist Progressive Democrats' overanxious con -- the "poison chalice" -- of reaching across the aisle for "compromise". The Democrats didn't even know the meaning of the word in 2009 when Obama and his Democrat majority rammed Obamacare down our throats.

Trump needs to stay true to his agenda and to those Americans who put their faith in him. He needs to strike hard, while the stars are aligned and the iron is hot, to accomplish much in his first year. Any delay only gives his political enemies and the Leftist media time to gain control of the valves needed to "drain the swamp" in D.C., so Trump must not be overly concerned with those Leftists who are upset that he won, even if their heads are spinning on their shoulders and their tears are making the oceans rise.

And conservative Americans must also drive home the lessons of the benefits of a conservative free-market capitalist system, guided under the Founders' Original Intent in the U.S. Constitution, over Marxist socialism. We must continue to illustrate how capitalism expands liberties, while socialism limits and destroys those same liberties.

On November 8th, Obama and most of Americas thought Hillary Clinton was poised early on to win, which prompted Obama to say that (regardless of who wins) "the sun will come up in the morning." And as the sun rose the next day, a shocked Obama found himself expressing "hope" that Trump would be invested in unity, respect for American institutions and the nation's way of life and the rule of law; all of this coming from Obama, a man and a U.S. President who had no respect for any of those things.

Let's not forget too quickly that over the last eight years, Obama and his criminal cohorts, radical progressives/communists, used the Executive Branch to unleash the IRS dogs on conservative Americans and conservative political groups. He worked to destroy the coal industry that supported thousands of families, all on an ideological whim based on false science, and he attempted to intimidate conservatives away from exercising their constitutional rights for fear that armed federal agents might arrest them.

Let's not forget how normal Americans have been depicted as racial "cowards" by Clinton associate Eric Holder, former U.S. Attorney General, after being attacked as "xenophobes" and "nativists" by progressives and RINO immigration expansionists. Don't easily forgive the incessant accusations of "Islamophobia" by Hillary and the progressives in the wake of numerous islamofascist attacks on America. Hold on a bit longer to that anger resulting from baseless accusations of "homophobia" over our protest of homosexual marriage, and continue to mourn those police officers ambushed by murderous thugs seeking racial vengeance --- all of this coming from Democrat Progressive policies and propaganda.

Hillary Clinton, in a conciliatory tone stated during her concession speech, "We owe him an open mind and as chance to succeed." She was probably quite fearful that Trump would follow through on his promise to prosecute her, however, this is most unlikely to happen given Trump's statement in his victory speech that "we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country." This in itself is a troubling start to Trump's presidency, although he did tell '60 Minutes' on Nov. 13th that he wants "to think about it." He also is now back-pedaling on immigration.

An unreasonable fear has also gripped the Leftists and anarchists who either purposefully, or from ignorance, misinterpret Trump's proposals as "racist". They have protested and rioted in several major U.S. cities like Los Angeles, Portland, New York and Miami, since November 9th, shouting "not my president".

The Washington Post reported that issues of national security, rule of law and scope of government and rejecting Obama's liberal agenda propelled Trump to victory, rather than any racist considerations. They assert that "on average, the counties that voted for Obama twice and then flipped to support Trump were 81% white".

Isn't this ironic? Now that the shoe is on the other foot, all of a sudden the Leftist Progressives, who wanted Obama to ignore the Constitution and take full advantage of "the pen", are showing a great and renewed interest in that old tired concept of "checks and balances."

And in the meantime, Americans who love God, Family and America are rejecting the corruption in our government. We reject the elites who hold us in contempt. We reject any government official, any leader and any unconstitutional "law" attempting to silence us and make us bow, kneel and obey the arbitrary whims of an out-of-control State.

Pray for America. Pray for Donald Trump and Mike Pence as they face this massive responsibility of healing and unifying America the best they can, and help them keep America safe and Free.

"Ours was not a campaign, but rather an incredible and great movement, made up of millions of hard-working men and women who love their country and want a better, brighter future for themselves and for their families ... a movement comprised of Americans from all races, religions, backgrounds and beliefs, who want and expect our government to serve the people, and serve the people it will. ... Every single American will have the opportunity to realize his or her fullest potential. The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer." -- Donald Trump's presidential victory speech
