By James Lewis, AMERICAN THINKER
For Americans who favor Donald Trump, their choice can be summarized in two words: Trump Fights. We haven’t seen a fighting Republican since Newt Gingrich and the Contract with America. But we’ve seen plenty of abject surrenders covered by abject lies. The GOP establishment has enough cozy compromises running that they are shocked to see a fighting Republican.
Actress Stacey Dash understands the Trump style because she grew up with it. Her blog post is cited by Breitbart, and it’s worth reading. According to Stacey Dash “Donald Trump is not violent, he’s street.”
“There’s a lot of talk about Donald Trump being violent, condoning it, or at least inciting it. But this is a total misread of our next President. …he’s not violent, he’s just “street.” He was born in Queens. …growing up there in New York made me see the world in a certain way.
Actions have consequences.
Rude people are not tolerated.
If you attack me, I’ll come back at you twice at hard.”
Ms. Dash has a book coming out, called “There Goes My Social Life: From Clueless to Conservative.” I’m going to read it. Stacey has a future in conservative politics. No wonder our Upper Manhattan pundits are climbing the walls.
Everyday conservatives feel betrayed by enemies, foreign and domestic. They have seen Obama plant a legacy of contempt for the Republic, beginning with his Surrender Tour, all the way to last week’s Diktat against US oil exploration in the Atlantic. With “leaders” like Obama and Hillary you don’t need enemies. They fill that role already. Trouble is, we also have deadly enemies Obama and Hillary will not name.
Obama’s deep bow to the previous Saudi King went very badly for the Kingdom, since Obama ended up handing nuclear power and 150 billion bucks to the thousand-year fanatical enemies of Arabia, the mullahs. Iran is only 50 miles away from Arabia, and they constantly threaten the Saudis with extermination. The US Navy used to be a reliable protector, but we have now essentially handed the Gulf to Iran. The Saudis now see their own Armageddon approaching fast. They are not happy with Obama.
The trouble with Obama is that you can’t even trust his symbolic surrenders. He may just shaft you anyway.
Trump supporters suspect that Obama’s mind is boiling with rage against this country. But it’s not just Obama: It is every socialist Democrat, including Bernie Sanders and Liz Fauxcahontas Warren. It always seems strange that so many Lefties sincerely hate this country. But I keep meeting them. It shows the power of indoctrination and self-delusion. We are no longer a country of free and open debate. Mass media turn human beings into cult robots.
For decades all the public aggression has come from the Left, and the Trumpistas can see Trump fighting back. No other candidate has done that.
And no, they don’t care that Trump sounds over the top much of the time. They are angry enough to feel the same. Which does not mean, as the pussies of the media keep screaming, and Trump is a Nazi. Nazis killed people. Trump talks tough. There is a big, big difference.
Shamefully, the conservative punditry has made no real effort to understand Trump supporters. National Review has even resorted to smears and panic-mongering. Breitbart just fell apart, for reasons that are not clear, but political fights likely played a role. Both NR and Breitbart are harming themselves at a time when they are most needed.
The conservative base feels disgust, not just for Chamber of Commerce Republicans, but also with National Review pundits. NR has overreacted against Trump. It’s not that they disagree with his proposals. Conservative critics are now calling his proposals more-or-less right, just not right enough.
You can’t win for losing.
Obama and the Left follow the Alinsky war manual: Make the enemy stick with his own rules. It worked against Romney, who acted like a gentleman in gangsterland. As if Marquess of Queensberry rules ever worked against the Obamas of this world. Now Trump is turning Alinsky tactics against the Left, and they are screaming holy hell.
Oddly enough, NR conservatives are trying to force losers’ rules on Donald Trump. This is not very smart, to say the least.
But if you think Trump is an out-of-control maniac you haven’t been to Queens lately.
After Obama’s self-proclaimed surrender strategy in 2008, Russia expanded quickly into the Arctic and the Ukraine, China grabbed vast energy-rich regions of the South China Sea, and Iran is still trying to lock the Shi’ite Crescent around Israel, Arabia and the Sunni nations.
Some peace-maker, right?
As usual, Obama is helping our enemies. When Putin invaded Georgia, Ukraine, the Crimea and Syria, one after the other, our least qualified president in history did exactly nothing. Under Hillary and Obama, NATO committed unprovoked aggression against Libya, which posed no threat to anyone, leading to tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths that are still increasing today. ISIS is now said to be embedded in Libya. The only remaining question is whether the Libyan invasion was folly or criminal villainy. Like most of Obama’s actions it was (and is) a fiasco.
Trump supporters have a profound quarrel with the Left, and after decades of GOP defeatism and surrender they’ve had it with the establishment. To them Trump’s militant rhetoric is balm for the soul. It’s what they have been wanting to hear all along.
Contrary to media hysterics, his supporters don’t think Trump was wrong to throw out trained agitators who infiltrated his rally in Chicago. It was the radical ruckusmakers and their media allies who tried to block his right to speak. It is worth watching the YouTube video. You might be surprised.
Trump supporters tend to understand American power and prosperity: They are the kinds of people who built it. The outright destruction of our precious coal industry at the behest of delusional upper class enviros has troubled these people, whose jobs may depend on those historic engines of democracy, coal, steel, oil, gas, manufacturing, technology, agriculture, business. The fragile world of media and Hollywood would not exist without this bedrock.
Domestically, Obama has shown endless contempt for public order, making Trump supporters feel personally endangered. Which is true, if they live in Baltimore or Ferguson or the Bronx, but not in Beverly Hills or Upper Manhattan. Obama’s actions are not just racist, but also classist. He is an Arrugula Liberal.
During Obama’s two terms race relations have been stupidly damaged, to loud cheers from the Big Media. The Organs of Propaganda always believe themselves first.
Obama is driven by a gut need to avenge long-ago sins like slavery, a fact that shows how deeply he is entangled in fantasy. Obama’s crowd knows nothing about the real history of human slavery, but like Jerry Wright, they are still steeped in rage against perfectly innocent white folks who were born a hundred years after slavery was abolished in the United States and in British Colonies — but not in Africa, Arabia, South America and Russia. The “civil rights” movement, which is no longer civil or about rights, consistently wipes those inconvenient facts from memory. Rage against America always takes over, which is why Leftist African-Americans fell for Stalin just like Leftist American Whites. It’s not the sin that seems to matter; it’s the scapegoat of the hour.
Obama and the Rad-Left have now brought legalized racism and gross gender bias back to our universities and colleges, and soon, into ObamaCare ,which provides for race and gender selection for medical schools.
The Left always claims to love peace, but they always stir up trouble. This fact is not new, and can easily be found in Karl Marx’s prescription for “Revolutionary Terror.” Every conservative — no, every American — should know about it, just as they know about Mein Kampf. “In1848, Karl Marx wrote:
“… there is only one means to shorten, simplify and concentrate the murderous death throes of the old society and the bloody birth pangs of the new, only one means – revolutionary terrorism.”
No wonder Obama doesn’t think Jihad aggression is a big deal. Marx was also a raving racist, but that part is ok by the Obama Left.
We keep expecting intellectual consistency from the Left, and never get it. The Left does not train intellectual honesty. It is a war doctrine, like Jihad. That is why they are allied with each other. They have the same enemy, and that would be the civilized world.

Obama Claims to have taught Constitutional Law, but Here’s What He Really did at the University of Chicago
http://freedomoutpost.com/obama-claims-to-have-taught-constitutional-law-but-heres-what-he-really-did-at-the-university-of-chicago/
During a townhall meeting on guns, which I wrote about here, Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Sobarkah said, “I believe in the Second Amendment. It is there, written on the paper. It guarantees a right to bear arms. No matter how many times people try to twist my words around — I taught constitutional law, I know a little bit about this — I get it.” However, one writer has sought to clarify that Obama was not actually a professor, which means he never taught constitutional law.
Karin McQuillan writes at American Thinker:
Obama was never a professor; he was a lecturer. He did not have the qualifications to be a professor. Obama never published a single law paper. He was hired by the University of Chicago when they learned he had been given a book contract on race and law directly after graduating from Harvard. There was no book – just the contract, which he later reneged on. This is not the normal level of accomplishment for a University of Chicago professor or even lecturer.
Well, I suppose Obama’s deception and outright lies are par for the course. So, no one is surprised by them. In fact, many have questioned his mental stability as a result of his chronic lying. The irony is that he has used the mental health issue to go after people’s guns, especially our veterans.
So, if he didn’t actually teach constitutional law as he claims, then what did he do?
McQuillan continues:
Obama did not specialize in the Constitution. Obama cared about and taught only one subject: race. One course was about race in the Constitution. It is on this flimsy basis that he attempts to pawn himself off as a constitutional scholar.
As the New York Times explains, Obama the lecturer taught three subjects only: “race, rights and gender.”
His most traditional course was in the due process and equal protection areas of constitutional law. His voting rights class traced the evolution of election law, from the disenfranchisement of blacks to contemporary debates over districting and campaign finance. …His most original course, a historical and political seminar as much as a legal one, was on racism and law…
Well, that certainly explains what he has promoted, doesn’t it? Each and every one of those things that he lectured on was nothing more than the very things he has used to divide our country in order for his criminal administration to take advantage of the people and oppress them.
lsatenstein Said:
Wrong. Obama weas hired as a lecturer only. Never was a professor.
Obama was forced to resign the Bar and couldn’t practice law.

Regarding James Lewis
The kingdom has the reputation for the most hangings and the most executions, stonings, etc. The nuclear facilities were more than one mile below ground, safe from an atom bomb.
But Iran recognized that the nuclear program was too expensive, and that they could try to achieve what they want by non-nuclear means (proxy=Hezbollah or even Hamas). Iran already controls Lebanon.
Russia has told Iran in no uncertain terms — stay out of Syria. Russia is defending Asad, and does not care about Iran’s political desires.
If you want to know about dangers, research Pakistan for their number of nuclear bombs and now portable nuclear bombs that can be placed at a city’s perimeter. The world nuclear danger is Pakistan, not Iran.

In case nobody is looking there is a revolution going on in American politics. Trump has made 3 simple campaign promises: He will build a wall on the southern border along Mexico and bring back jobs (good paying manufacturing jobs)…. Both are doable and stop the exist of corporate America to foreign countries. This too can be accomplished using the power of the executive. Trump unlike the other stupid Republican candidates understood where and how to identify the anger and discomfort of the Republican electorate and many non Republicans and to simplify the message to basically slogans and sound bytes. He has spent a min of his own money and savvy enough to use the media and social media to his advantage….. I love it I love a smart guy sticking it to the sitting and established political crooks and vested interests who are responsible for Americas dire situation at home and abroad. He speaks of 21 trillion in debt loss of Industry and manufacturing middle class depreciation and the artificial low employment numbers etc…. He will not hold back against Hitlery either…. In short I agree with Bernard he can be as crooked as the next as long as he is my crook. I predict organized labor will support him in the end Trumka is waiting for the right moment. Oh the mafia will will back him thru the unions. 😀
What can I tell you?
The best of us demonstrate valor in the face of mortal danger.
And the rest of us exhibit hysteria when confronted with abject lunacy.

Re #27
Exactly. How many angels can dance on the head of a pin is no longer a factor.
@ babushka:
LOL, thats a nice long story but you havent yet explained why you think it is logical for me NOT to vote for front runner Trump because the GOP non trump voters will not vote for Trump in the general election… thus defacto… as you point out…. electing Hillary. You appear to keep running away from that fact of your warped logic: “dont vote for Trump or non Trump voters wont vote for the GOP”
Still waiting for an explanation of your warped logic… the solution…. tell your voters that after Trump wins they should vote for Trump if they dont want hillary. Wahh wahhh, if you dont vote for my guy I will go home and take my ball… waaaaaah
You are too insightful for me. I can’t keep up with your intellect. I try (Lord knows I try) but your sophisticated reasoning is far beyond my meager ability to comprehend.
You should give up on me and instead award your insights to others on the site. Laura is very bright – maybe she can appreciate your advanced logical analysis. Ted is also smart, and Keli-A once came tantalizingly close to writing something that was almost rational.
oldjerry…bert…hey, I almost forgot myclosepersonalfriend, mar55. And then there is honeybee! All these fine people are more worthy of your attention.
The only reason I have dealt with you is that I worship you as a God. But I must reluctantly confront bitter reality – our relationship is asymmetrical. I am endowed with your wisdom, and in return you are afflicted by my deluded ravings. Such inequality cannot be sustained.
And there is yet another consideration that might seem relatively trivial but is nonetheless important to me: if I explain the electoral situation to you one more time and you still fail to understand my head will explode.

bernard ross Said:
gosh, looks like you never debunked my argument… you just called it incredulous and hoped it would go away…. like you hope with Trump. Your GOP voter are the GOP voters YOU referred to who will not vote for Trump in the general election if he wins the nomination. The assertion still stands, your argument is ridiculous… asking us not to vote for the front runner because your GOP voters are threatening not to vote for their own party.
Try to deal with the issues and facts rather than always running away and hiding behind red herrings, tangents and ad hominems.
babushka Said:
LOL, for a guy you allege is driving the GOP voters away he appears to be the front runner. come on, you are losing it, time to focus on the facts even if you have no convincing argument to try and get voters to abandon Trump because your GOP voters threaten to not vote for their own party. If they do that then they will be electing hillary just like you and I said. The problem is your GOP voters, not those voting for Trump.
When you write something serious, I will take you seriously. But when write nonsense like this…
…it strains credulity, as mar55 is wont to say.
Psst. Trump is running for the GOP nomination. They are not my GOP voters. They are supposed to be his GOP voters, but he is driving them away by appealing to people like you who prefer making a statement (the gist of which appears to be “Getting a lobotomy is not just an event – it’s a way of life!”) to winning the general election.
babushka Said:
ok, nothing relevant in your first paragraph, just your recent usual ad hominem demonstrating your intellectual bankruptcy in rebutting factual arguments
babushka Said:
again, nothing factually relevant in the second paragraph either. i suppose you are trying to infer that if you talk about morals and principles rather than actually live them, then you must be a moral and principled individual. Perhaps your concept is correct, but still irrelevant to my post and to Trumps and GOP platform issues.
babushka Said:
Yep, 3 strikes and out… as your 3rd paragraph also had nothing relevant. I reprint them here because perhaps you can point out the relevance….. or perhaps you have been reduced to an irrelevant clown devoid of factual arguments? Apparently the sewer analogy was too deep for you to comprehend.
In order to spare yourself future embarrassment, just provide me with your password so that I can author your comments. Imagine the pride you will experience when people believe that you have belatedly forsaken hallucinogenic narcotics.
But to offer a unifying note, you are absolutely right on one point: Who needs morals and principles? I mean, morals and principles are – like, you know – so obsolete, dude.
By the way, bernie, sack up and do your own plumbing. If an old broad like me can open the clean-out and ram the snake down to the street, you can take off the lace panties and pretend that you still have some testosterone flowing through that flabby physique.
I smell that guillotine sharpening up again.
babushka Said:
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I am more interested in the specific platforms of the candidates than the vague generic philosophies and moral precepts you mentioned….
here they are:
ban muslims, profile muslims in the USA for terrorism, kill TPP, tariff imported products which cause our loss of jobs and high welfare and unemployment costs which resulted, kill HB1 visa abuse, deport illegal immigrants, end PC BS,…… looks like the GOP is not for my issues.
when I hire the plumber to unblock the shite from my sewer I am disinterested in his philosophical and religious principle, nor whether he is deceitful and corrupt, or is in the grip of moral entropy. Can he do the job and how much will it cost me are my interests. There is no doubt in my mind that the rest of the GOP candidates and the dems are unwilling to do the job that I want doing.
babushka Said:
so then, why would you GOP voters again elect clinton?
Your logic is weird, your argument is not to vote trump because your GOP voters will then make the GOP candidate lose the general election. Thats a problem that only those illogical weirdos can correct.
babushka Said:
perhaps they should talk to their counselor about that…. they were very comfortable with the inexperienced community activist named husseing after 911….. go figure.
when I hire the plumber to unblock the sewer I dont care about feeling comfortable with him…. but then I am not looking for a lunch date from him.
babushka Said:
Cant speak for the logic of GOP base voters if they are intent on electing Hillary over a GOP candidate. There is no accounting for their logic….. why do you write this to us rather than to those strange GOP voters who would vote for hillary. I am only voting GOP because Trump satisfies my specific issues and the other GOP do not. Apparently the GOP is against Trumps platforms of banning muslim immigration, deporting illegal immigrants, abusing the HB1 visa, and shipping more jobs to communist china via the TPP. Your GOP stand for everything wrong and on top of that they spent the last few years collaborating with Obama in order to get their TPP.
I suggest you talk some sense into your fellow GOPniks
babushka Said:
no, not according to your assertions:
babushka Said:
According to you it looks like its your GOP voters who will elect Hillary over a GOP candidate. Perhaps you should be writing to them at whatever website they visit. How odd.
People do not vote for someone who makes them feel uncomfortable. A plurality of Republicans can provide the nomination to Trump, but if there are massive defections among the GOP base he will lose in a landslide. You really should care, because Hillary Clinton’s role models are Saul Alinsky and Yasser Arafat.
I should have added the following for emphasis:
1. If you’re concerned about morality, then consider the arrogance and corruption of one Hillary Clinton by way of comparison. And this is someone who, based on her track record, can accomplish nothing; at least nothing worthwhile.
2. What is “worthwhile” these days. What is “worthwhile,” in fact what is the only worthwhile endeavour these days (and this is true for both the US and Canada) is to re-industrialize the entire country. I use the term “re-industrialize” loosely. What is of the greatest urgency is to get people back into paying jobs. This is especially true of the younger crowd, particularly those who have been duped into receiving a “university education” only to find that they have been saddled with enormous debt and there are few jobs available.
Without getting more deeply into this, I will restate the fact that while Trumps opponents in both the media and the various blogs, are presumably quite comfortable with their lot in life, there are countless folks who are struggling; untrained in any usable skills, somewhat older, surrounded by deadbeat family and friends…
There have to be ways of getting them out of government handouts and into enjoying (yes, enjoying) their own productivity, their skills. Government should keep out of directly getting involved in this, because they simply are clueless. Rather, create an environment where this can be allowed to happen with relative effortlessness.
Then there are problems with companies such as Apple who use 430000 American workers, versus 700000 offshore workers… And please don’t tell me that this is based on the “free market system”. It isn’t.
@ babushka:
The choices we all have at any time is to choose the least imperfect – or “brazen charlatan” for whatever purpose is at hand. Just in case you hadn’t noticed, corruption is rampant, and with a few notable exceptions, it has always been that way.
“Preeners” have always been superficial in their outlook. I don’t care if Trump smokes and drinks with abandon (I’m not saying he does) or if he curses endlessly. If he gets done what has to be done he’s ok by me.
I don’t care if people are “uncomfortable” with Trump, or with my own outlook for that matter. Just don’t try to foist the “moral superiority flag” in front of my face.
@ babushka:
I concur with you. My thoughts are in line with your comment.
Thank you
Trump would lose Utah in a general election. A Republican losing Utah is like a cannibal losing Papua New Guinea, but somehow he would do it. Unless something miraculous happens (a miracle on the order of Woody Allen’s son Moses parting the Red Sea) Trump would also lose the other forty-nine states. The Trump zombies are going to elect Hillary Clinton president.
And we know what is happening to the dear departed who last elected a Clinton to the presidency:

@ archie:
I didn’t say there was any problem with Trump.
@ keelie:
Trump is a good man with an obviously independent mind. What’s the ding dong problem?!
@ lsatenstein:
I don’t see the signs of a “man of very high IQ” in Obama. I see good oratory skills (albeit with a screen in front of him), as well as leadership on the basis of “I’m always right” (or should it be, “I may not be right but I am the President.”). Not much else. And certainly nothing substantial, let alone earth-shattering, in terms of actual output.
@ lsatenstein:
Then there is no danger in writing them off as having no value whatsoever to the US. Let them take their businesses elsewhere.
Meanwhile the young of this country should be trained by artisans (for example) to be expert artisans capable of working independently; that is, outside of the corporate world. They should in fact form a modern version of a “guild” that would offer facilities such as marketing and advertising for the members of that guild. Members would generally work on a local basis.
There is of course, a lot more to this, and a great deal of work to be done to compete with equivalent products produced by corporations. But corporations have substantial weak points, and these can be used by the “guilds” to their advantage…

America has become a nation where adherence to philosophical and religious principles is derided as “preening”, whereas mindlessly embracing corruption and deceit is celebrated as “saving the country”. This moral entropy reinforces the urgency for Israel to eliminate its dependence upon the United States, where both political parties now insist that being a brazen charlatan is prerequisite for obtaining the presidency.
so what happened to that GOP opposition?
Although he went to privileged schools he grew up in New York and operates like a typical New Yorker. Its all talk with an agenda to demonize Trump, the same tactics that the BDS folks use on Israel and the Jews…. Jews should recognize the tactic as it is daily used to libel Israel with the hope of inciting the murder of Jews.
I prefer that if someone tries to interfere with my freedom of speech and movement, interfering with my enjoyment of speeches.. I would prefer that they are beaten bloody as an example of how such folks should be treated. The only way to mitigate such folks violence is to treat them violently… basically they are terrorists who have not graduated to the bigger stuff.
Understanding is not their goal…. protecting their donor GOP establishment puppeteers is their goal. They must destroy Trump if they are to retain their continued influence and Power. The multi national US corps are heavily invested in the top secret TPP… it is not coincidence that Obama voted with the GOP on TPP when many dems were against it. It is obvious that Obama got a free ride from the GOP congress in return for the TPP. The TPP and its predecessors is the greatest factor in the poverty of the US. The corp establishment buys both parties.
Trumps biggest problem right now is from the GOP establishment and their donors, not the left. They are the ones who started all the hitler comparisons, etc to paint Trump falsely. They see themselves losing their influence at the feeding trough and their massive profits from China
Agree with Keelie. The article is a good analysis of the issues.
This author has a jaundiced approach to the Democrats. First of all, lets get two things straight.
Donald Trump is very street smart, very manipulative and a fighter. I have to admire him for his approach to the Presidency.
The GOP on the otherhand, are the corporations. Corporations say, “We create the jobs and the economy”. That was true in Reagon times when there was no Internet, when there was no cheap manufacturing abroad, and where Ireland became the bank. Today, your domestic manufacturing is very reduced. Car manufacturing is done outside of the USA because the costs are low, and the quality high. The need for big big profits has driven the manufacturing and engineering jobs off-shore.
Today, every SuperPac Corp will, if they can, hire a H1-B employee at $10 to 15 less per hour than a domestic employee. This has taken place with engineers, scientists, computer system (cloud computing) and more. It is job-displacement.
Those are my two points.
Back to Democrats. Bernie Sanders sees the jobs disappearing from America. He wants to stop “free trade” and upgrade it to “fair trade”. On a per-capita basis, India, China, Malaysia and Europ graduate more engineers and PHD’s than does the USA. He knows that if the USA is to compete with India, China, and Europe the USA needs free to very low cost university education.
There are 450 countries that provide free medicare, (single payer systems). Mexico, Canada Europe and even Israel offer that to their citizens.
That single payer system results in a proportional income a tax, but it also means that the insurance companies can take a bit of a hit, but can recover with offering upgraded services such as motorized wheel chairs, 24hr second and third level service, etc.
Most other countries offer Prescription plans (about 400+ countries, including Canada, Mexico, Israel, etc.). So what is Bernie proposing to Americans that is wrong?
Lets look at the past 4 year and the US military. Of the 300,000 soldiers that were in the middle east, how many returned with ptsd, missing limbs, or returned in body bags? Were these soldiers defending America or were they there to defend America’s oil suppliers. America is self sufficient in oil, so… Obama did what is normal, keep the soldiers for the defense of the USA. Let the Arab countries fight it out amongst themselves. America still has the missiles, anti-missiles, and all the delivery systems needed for its defense of itself and its allies. The next war will not be fought with infantry.
And lets look at the Republicans spiteful approach to Obama. A president who was a University Professor, a man of very high I/Q, a true above average leader. Stimied by a Republican party that wants corporate America to stay wealthy, a party who wants to deliver to their funders. What happened to “Government of the people, by the people for the people”?
All I saw was spite. Do whatever you could to disgrace the democrats, including lying.
God help America if neither Donald or Hillory do not win the Presidency.
Great article!!! Now if only people would stop preening themselves to show the world how “above all this bad stuff” they are, they would actually be able to handle what’s really going on… and participate wholeheartedly in it to save their country, if nothing else.
