The inauguration of the 45th POTUS Donald J. Trump - Part 2

Yesterday, after he was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States, President Donald Trump gave what I thought was a pretty positive, upbeat and inspiring inaugural address. (The text of which is in my "Inauguration... Part 1" entry just previous to this one.

Some of his points at the beginning were, I thought similar in ways to that of then newly sworn in POTUS Ronald Reagan who in that 1981 inaugural address made the claim that in many cases "Government isn't the solution to problems. Rather, government is the problem."

Of course, such dramatic returns to the principles of government as set out by the founding fathers in 1776 and 1789 as Trump campaigned on, won the presidency with and spoke about yesterday morning in his inaugural address is bound to get all the liberal dingbats flying round the belfry in a state of raving hysteria.

Besides a few dozen nitwits chucking rocks in the streets and torching a few cars in Washington, D.C., the gang of usual media suspects were quick to open their mouths on the air and demonstrate just how seriously demented and paranoid they really are in their ever-so-skewed worldview.

I give you one Chris Matthews as a for instance. Matthews behaved like a raving lunatic as he demonstrates daily in his program on MSNBC (one of the loonier of the Looney Tunes media outlets go) re Trump's inaugural remarks, Matthews claimed that "Trump's 'America' first' tone was "racial" and "had a Hitlerian [as in Adolf Hitler of Nazi Germany] background to it."*

Really, Chris? Seriously? The Lib Left's brains are so twisted and their knowledge of history so flushed into the sewage of their hate they see any kind of patriotism from our President [and Commander-in-Chief of the US military] as being likened to that of Nazis and the Holocaust? What a dingbat who must've flunked every single history class he ever sat in!

Oh, if only Matthews was the only hysterical dingbat.... But, he's not. Oh, no; that raving nutjob commentator Rachel Maddow (more like Rabid Mad Dog) claimed Trump's "America first" emphasis to be "militant"**, with "dark, antiSemitic overtones,** because, she says, "There was an America First Committee that formed intis country [America], some of the richest businessmen [a usual liberal mantra; when desperate for villain figure to fit your hysterical ranting, haul out the 'rich' and 'big business'] in the country who were part of it, they were formed to keep us out of World War Two. They were infiltrated by the Nazis, many of them were anti-Semitic, part of why they weren't alarmed by Hitler's rise in Germany," she raved.**

O...M...G...! Mad Dog Rachel proves she's not only a lousy history student but apparnetly a permanent resident of The Twilight Zone.Of course if these liberal buffoons didn't have double standards they'd have no standards whatsoever!

Case in point;when a Republican prez seems to be heading us into war, these libs all want to claim we should just "give peace a chance" and lecture us that "war is never the solution to the problem" and so on.

Now this Maddow whackjob is claiming a group of American isolationists in the 1930s were doing so only so Hitler could have better opportunity to kill more Jews? Besides being just downright hysterical, she forgets that the Holocaust was one helluva big secret until Allied forces got deep enough into Germany to find and liberate the Nazi concentration camps. Maddow forgets that the civilian German populaces of towns right next door to some of these camps didn't even know what went on in them until the War was over.

What a whackjob idiot. But, if only she and matthews were the only 2.... But, alas; ABC's Terry Moran had to jump on the labotomy bandwagon stupidly claiming Trump's speech "...carries with it ovetones from the 1930s when an [waaaaait for it...] anti-Semitic movement [was] saying, 'We don't want to get involved in Europe's war. It's the Jews' fault in Germany.'"** THAT ONE HAS TO TAKE THE IDIOT PRIZE!

Again, another history moron shoots off his mouth to remove all doubt about 1) how stupid he is on world history, 2) just how hysterical and raving mad his rhetoric truly is and 3) that he will stoop as low as he needs to - lower than the slugs in a damp root cellar and lower than the sludge of stale fecal matter found in the bottom of a septic tank - in order to advance the agenda of running down what real leadership and patriotism is - in this case Donald Trump's positive, upbeat and inspiring inaugural address.

Firstly, from 1914-1918, the world had fought what it naively believed was truly 'The War To End All Wars' (WW1). In those 4 years of worldwide conflict, 38 million people were killed or injured. Those who did survie after suffered from "shell shock" and other mental afflictions in addition to their physical wounds.

Americans living in the throes of the Great Depression of the 1930s were either veterans of that War or had male friends, relatives or acquaintances who were. In other words, the memories of the horrors of that War were still very fresh in their minds in the 1930s. Hence, 1930s  America as a whole was isolationist in sentiment to avoid sending its sons off to the carnage of another World War.

But, whenever a Republican president starts rattling its war sabers about oppression in Europe (say the Balkaans) or IndoChina (say Vietnam) or the Middle East (as in Gulf War 1 and 2), for examples, the libs are the first ones to start hollering about how "America should not be the world's policemen." Yet Trump's 'America first' tone reminds these same deranged liberal nutcases of Natism, anti-Semitism and other "dark" and "militant" evils instead of a financial and economic policy that is perhaps really only isolationist in tone and spirit.

That is how twisted, raving and hateful the liberal Left in this country have descended in their cultural decay.

Yet when Trump says "When you open your heart to true patriotism, there is no room for prejudice," he's being Nazi-like and anti-Semitic? Did I miss something there?

When he said "We willfollow 2 simple rules; Buy American and Hire American" and "We will seek friendship and good will with the nations of the world - but we will do so with the understanding that is the right of all nations to put their own interests first" [emphasis added] he's being "dark," "militant," "anti-Semitic" and "Hitlerian?" Are these liberal clowns even critiquing the same inaugural address the rest of us watched on national TV? Are they really that skewed and off-the-bubble out of their heads as to have heard what they're alleging in Trump's words? Or are they just amoral enough to be willing to lie so boldly as to knowingly claim that such lunacy was actually spoken when they know full well it was not?

Sadly, I'm afraid the answer to both questions is Yes, they really are.

And that is more "Hitlerian" and "Goebbelsian" than anything Trump has or hasn't said to date.

The inauguration of the 45th POTUS Donald J. Trump - Part 1



















The full text of the 45th President of the United States Donald J. Trump's inaugural speech January 20, 2017:
Chief Justice Roberts, President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, fellow Americans, and people of the world: thank you.

We, the citizens of America, are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country and to restore its promise for all of our people.

Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for years to come.
We will face challenges. We will confront hardships. But we will get the job done.

Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power, and we are grateful to President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for their gracious aid throughout this transition. They have been magnificent.

Today’s ceremony, however, has very special meaning. Because today we are not merely transferring power from one Administration to another, or from one party to another – but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American People.

For too long, a small group in our nation’s Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.

Washington flourished – but the people did not share in its wealth.
Politicians prospered – but the jobs left, and the factories closed.
The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country
.
Their victories have not been your victories; their triumphs have not been your triumphs; and while they celebrated in our nation’s Capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.

That all changes – starting right here, and right now, because this moment is your moment: it belongs to you.

It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America. 
This is your day. This is your celebration.

And this, the United States of America, is your country.

What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people.
January 20th 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again. 

The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.
Everyone is listening to you now.

You came by the tens of millions to become part of a historic movement the likes of which the world has never seen before.

At the center of this movement is a crucial conviction: that a nation exists to serve its citizens.

Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for themselves. These are the just and reasonable demands of a righteous public.

But for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists: Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system, flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of knowledge; and the crime and gangs and drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.
This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.

We are one nation – and their pain is our pain.  Their dreams are our dreams; and their success will be our success.  We share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny.

The oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans.

For many decades, we’ve enriched foreign industry at the expense of American industry;
Subsidized the armies of other countries while allowing for the very sad depletion of our military;

We've defended other nation’s borders while refusing to defend our own;

And spent trillions of dollars overseas while America's infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay.

We’ve made other countries rich while the wealth, strength, and confidence of our country has disappeared over the horizon.

One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores, with not even a thought about the millions upon millions of American workers left behind.
The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed across the entire world.

But that is the past. And now we are looking only to the future.

We assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city, in every foreign capital, and in every hall of power.

From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land.
From this moment on, it’s going to be America First.
Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families.

We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs.  Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength.

I will fight for you with every breath in my body – and I will never, ever let you down.
America will start winning again, winning like never before.

We will bring back our jobs. We will bring back our borders.  We will bring back our wealth.  And we will bring back our dreams.

We will build new roads, and highways, and bridges, and airports, and tunnels, and railways all across our wonderful nation.

We will get our people off of welfare and back to work – rebuilding our country with American hands and American labor.

We will follow two simple rules: Buy American and Hire American.

We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world – but we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first.

We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example for everyone to follow.

We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones – and unite the civilized world against Radical Islamic Terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the Earth.

At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America, and through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other.
When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice.

The Bible tells us, “how good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity.”

We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity.

When America is united, America is totally unstoppable.

There should be no fear – we are protected, and we will always be protected.
We will be protected by the great men and women of our military and law enforcement and, most importantly, we are protected by God.

Finally, we must think big and dream even bigger.

In America, we understand that a nation is only living as long as it is striving.
We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action – constantly complaining but never doing anything about it.

The time for empty talk is over.
Now arrives the hour of action.
Do not let anyone tell you it cannot be done.  No challenge can match the heart and fight and spirit of America.

We will not fail. Our country will thrive and prosper again.

We stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow.

A new national pride will stir our souls, lift our sights, and heal our divisions.
It is time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget: that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots, we all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all salute the same great American Flag.

And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the same night sky, they fill their heart with the same dreams, and they are infused with the breath of life by the same almighty Creator.

So to all Americans, in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, and from ocean to ocean, hear these words:

You will never be ignored again.

Your voice, your hopes, and your dreams, will define our American destiny. And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way.

Together, We Will Make America Strong Again.
We Will Make America Wealthy Again.
We Will Make America Proud Again.
We Will Make America Safe Again.


And, Yes, Together, We Will Make America Great Again. Thank you, God Bless You, And God Bless America.
