The Guy In Pants Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 A couple in here need to go ahead and book their flights out of here and go somewhere where their moronic utopia is already in practice. If they hurry; they may be able to hit the bread lines before the rest of their new starving neighbors. They don’t deserve anything they have nor do they deserve what they take for granted. The only message I can put together for people who believe what they do is a heartfelt ***** off. The great thing is that they may feel they are in the majority but they’re not and most competent, normal people (regardless of some stupid physical trait people choose to group them as besides living breathing human beings) really do see them for the bull#### they spread.

SydneyBillsFan Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Having just watched the speech, I can honestly say that the president continues to blow me away. His dedication in the pursuit of a better America is unyielding. His ability to provide an uplift to the spirits of those who, despite their love of their great nation, may have had their beliefs shaken recently is second to none. His speeches ooze motivation, patriotism and precision. And his resolve is clearly unbreakable. Today was further proof - if any was required - that one genuine Donald Trump is worth more than a thousand fake Colin Kaepernicks.

We live on a ridge and can usually see about 10 shows. There were only two however the private displays were impressive this year. John Adams in a letter to his wife Abigail: The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.

B-Man Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 A Night at Mt. Rushmore by Clarice Feldman Original Article Friday’s celebration at Mount Rushmore reminded me of Mussorgsky’s “Night on Bald Mountain” where after a wild witches’ sabbath, church bells ring, the sun comes out and the witches vanish. For weeks now we’ve watched the Antifa-BLM-just plain thugs and looters’ witches’ sabbath -- rampaging through our streets, defacing and destroying treasured memorials, looting, shooting, beating innocents and murdering them. Not a single Democrat leader has condemned these things, choosing instead to pretend these are peaceful protests against police brutality. Every four years they gin up some incident to create the impression that this is a racist society that requires radical reformation and conservatives are to blame more at the link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 At Mt. Rushmore, Trump Scoops the Democrats New York Sun, by Editorial Original Article With a rousing Independence Day speech at Mount Rushmore, President Trump certainly laid down the principles on which he will now go to the hustings. His choice of a setting put him before the famed monument to four presidents — each of which is a target of the movement that has been seeking to besmirch or destroy statues of our national leaders. Mr. Trump left no doubt in respect of which side he is on. Had the President left any such doubt, the morning papers cleared them up. The Times led with a long geschrei about how Mr. Trump had sent a “discordant” message. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushmore speech was the moment that Donald Trump won reelection. Really good read! Quote “We believe in equal opportunity, equal justice, and equal treatment for citizens of every race, background, religion, and creed. Every child, of every color—born and unborn—is made in the holy image of God.” Again, can you imagine any Democrat saying that—any of it? It has often been pointed out that black lives do not matter to the Black Lives Matter movement, which is really just a gigantic machine for hoovering up money from left-wing donors and despoiling the institutions and emblems of our civilization. It is a sad irony indeed that Black Lives Matter is explicitly dedicated to the destruction of the nuclear family—it’s part of their mission statement—since the ruination of the black family, actively abetted by the Democrats’ welfare policies, is largely responsible for the continuing plight of black Americans. The gospel of the radicals assailing our society today is a gospel of self-abasement. The president preaches a different message: “We stand tall, we stand proud—and we only kneel to Almighty God.” 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 JULY 5, 2020 — JOHN HINDERAKER FROM THE LAND OF THE FREE There is a big recreational lake a few miles from my home town, where I spent summers growing up. We had dinner at a nice restaurant (excellent meats) there Friday night. There, and most places, we saw flags. The flag-to-mask ratio was huge: My home town has a surprisingly good zoo. Unfortunately, my pictures didn’t do it justice. This is a jaguar: We visited my 98-year-old father, the main purpose of our trip, and then shopped for fireworks at what must be the country’s biggest fireworks emporium: You push a shopping cart up and down the aisles and select from a vast array of explosives. For a few hundred dollars, you can put on a display roughly equivalent to what a town would do. And many people do. As it turned out, with several of us shopping separately, we wound up with more fireworks than we had time to detonate, and had to save some for next year. Almost everything we bought would be illegal in Minnesota. (As a clerk at the drive-through window of a liquor store in South Dakota once put it, everything is illegal in Minnesota.) Then it was back to the lake, where one of my brothers lives, for a pontoon boat ride, dinner and fireworks. My granddaughter with a sparkler: Fireworks are hard to photograph, but this is a fountain that shot colored sparks eight feet or so in the air: Neighbors on both sides shot off lots of fireworks, and we had, among other things, a 24-shot reloadable mortar. All around the lake, you could see fireworks exploding in the sky. Again, impossible to photograph, but here is an attempt: A lot of people are leaving blue states, both to escape from their oppressive conformity and to seek better job and investment opportunities. I f you are in that category, South Dakota is an option you should consider. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I hesitate to identify a highlight. Do take in the whole thing. It is a blast of truth that is particularly needed this year. As to the hysterical responses by the Left/Media. We can infer several things: 1) Trump was effective. 2) “Dark” means he spoke about things the Left would prefer that voters not focus on. 3) The Left thinks it will lose the culture war. . 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is entirely untrue. It is invented from whole cloth. You can read the speech here and see for yourself.

B-Man Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 LONGTIME TRUMP CRITIC QUIN HILLYER: Trump’s Rushmore speech was monumentally splendid. Despite so much media drivel about President Trump giving a “dystopian” or “dark and divisive” or out-and-out racist speech at Mount Rushmore, his Friday speech, as written, was the single finest of Trump’s presidency. It featured realistic, entirely justified pushback against civilization’s despoilers. And it married that with an appropriate, much-needed celebration of the essential goodness of the United States and its history, along with plenty of unifying thoughts and proposals. . . . First, let’s be clear on who is waging the “culture war” for which the media blames Trump. Trump did indeed blast the “cancel culture” that is “driving people from their jobs, shaming dissenters, and demanding total submission from anyone who disagrees” so that “in our schools, our newsrooms, even our corporate boardrooms, there is a new far-left fascism that demands absolute allegiance. If you do not speak its language, perform its rituals, recite its mantras, and follow its commandments, then you will be censored, banished, blacklisted, persecuted, and punished.” Trump here is just speaking the truth. There has long been an established, deeply admirable civic culture in this nation; it is the radical left who now wages war against it. All over the country, people are being fired for the mere utterance of inconvenient or unwanted thoughts, even anodyne thoughts. People are being physically (and dangerously) hounded from public forums. And it is an utter assault on the rule of law itself to deface or destroy public art, as opposed to removing it through legitimate representative processes. To defend the civic culture against such assaults is not an affront, but a duty. Moreover, as Trump said, it is a duty rooted not in suppression but in a commitment to continued expression of the values and virtues that have “rescued billions from poverty, disease, violence, and hunger, and that lifted humanity to new heights of achievement, discovery, and progress.” Since when is a rejection of such destruction, married to concrete achievements and aspirational themes, somehow “dystopian?” Only an establishment media and corporate culture that are morally twisted, themselves committed to the destruction, could somehow treat a defense of decency as if it were an affront. Well, to them it is, because they’re on the other side. Related: Byron York: Distorting Trump’s Words. “That much news coverage is biased against President Trump goes without saying. But every now and then there comes an episode of bias so egregious that it deserves attention. The coverage of the President’s July 3 speech at Mount Rushmore is one of those episodes.” Think of the press as a psychological warfare operation against normal Americans and you won’t go far wrong. The full text of Trump’s speech is here. Read it and make up your own mind. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
