My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent #NeverTrumpers) constantly ask me if I\u2019m not bothered by Donald Trump\u2019s lack of decorum.  They ask if I don\u2019t think his tweets are \u201cbeneath the dignity of the office.\u201d  Here\u2019s my answer:<\/span><\/p>\n

We Right-thinking people have tried dignity.  There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency.  We tried statesmanship.  Could there be another human being on this earth who so desperately prized \u201ccollegiality\u201d as John McCain?  We tried propriety \u2013 has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney?  And the results were always the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality and propriety, the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t find anything \u201cdignified,\u201d \u201ccollegial\u201d or \u201cproper\u201d about Barack Obama\u2019s lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds because racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party.  I don\u2019t see anything \u201cdignified\u201d in lying about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi and imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your tracks.  I don\u2019t see anything \u201cstatesman-like\u201d in weaponizing the IRS to be used to destroy your political opponents and any dissent.  Yes, Obama was \u201carticulate\u201d and \u201cpolished\u201d but in no way was he in the least bit \u201cdignified,\u201d \u201ccollegial\u201d or \u201cproper.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Read it all<\/a>.  The main point is that it is a war and in a war in which the enemy employs Alinkyite tactics we must do the same.  The USA as she was founded to be is teetering on the brink of destruction. We are at a crucial juncture in our history and Trump, as bad as he is, is all we have.  <\/span> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
