As I watch the liberal elites in Hollywood, academia, politics and the press lose their collective minds, an old adage comes to mind. "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
I look at the left trying to quell the popular uprising around Donald Trump and it makes me think of the French Revolution, with our "elite betters" playing the part of Marie Antoinette. "Let them eat cake" they have told those they wish to lord it over. Paying no attention to the concerns of the masses. The only things that matter to them are their desires for the way they want things to be and what will move their visions forward. If us unwashed heathens don't realize that their betters will decide what's best for us, well then we can just "eat cake".
They never saw the storm clouds on the horizon because they had become so comfortable in their little enclaves of power on the east and west coasts that they never bothered to look out the window. Why would they? They were in power and had been for as long as their goldfish memories could recall.
They had wielded their power over the masses, unabated, for so long, they had come to believe their own bullshit. Anyone failing to toe their line was clearly some sort of radical deviant. How could anyone possibly question anthropomorphic global warming? Even though they had jiggered the data at every turn and it was clear that those pushing it the hardest were amassing huge fortunes from forcing others to comply, all the while suppressing commerce. Since they were in control, what could the peons do?
With the liberals living in their echo chambers, they didn't recognize the thunder of the approaching storm for what it was. They continued to believe their own press releases.
While Hillary and Cain struggled to draw flies to their rallies, Trump and Pence played to packed houses. Yet the tame press tried to tell the country that it was just racists, sexists, homophobes, islamophobes, etc, etc at their rallies. Even though many were the same folks who voted for Obama, twice.
Well, thanks to the new media, the truth of what was happening got out. And despite the old power elites aligning against them, Trump and Pence were swept into power as those who were not being represented or even heard by the elites stood up and said, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!" (Thank you Network)
So on November 8th, the media, the elitists, academic leftists and the far left politicians got to play the role of the out of touch French Aristocracy while middle America played the role of the ignored and put upon French people. They figuratively beheaded the beast by sending Hillary to the showers, hopefully for good. And with any luck we've seen the end of the Clintons in American public life.
To those who are crying and moaning about how could the country have not seen how the elites have all the answers if we would just follow them, let me turn their own arrogant words back on them. Elections have consequences and your ways have been rejected.
Or so it would seem to an old farm boy.

Anti Trump Protesters Need Geography Class
Here I am watching a protest march against President Elect Donald Trump. The protesters are chanting "Hey hey, ho ho, Donald Trump has got to go". And across the front line leading the march are folks holding flags.
The two flags I was able to identify were Mexico and the now defunct USSR. (There was a 3rd flag I could not identify.)
My first thought was, these folks could really use a geography class! I mean REALLY!
What kind of a mental defect marches in one country behind the flag of another country chanting that the new duly elected leader of the country they are in has got to go?
Clearly THEY are confused. Why else would they be marching behind the banner of a country they were not in?
That being said, I do understand they are making a statement that they are not pleased with the outcome of the election. But do they honestly believe that they would be better off in Mexico or the old USSR?
I would love to have seen them try that crap in Khrushchev's or Stalin's USSR. They'd have been in a frozen gulag before the echoes of their chants died.
Or if they were to go to Mexico right now and try marching through the streets behind American flag chanting that the Mexican leader had to go and burning Mexican flags, I feel certain they would quickly be introduced to the joys of the Mexican penal system.
But no, here in America, these special little snowflakes are given a day off from their college classes to overcome their trauma. They are treated as if they actually were making some sort of worthwhile social statement. This as they vandalized property and disrupted commerce. All the while the leftist media gives them all the attention these little metrosexuals long for but have never done anything to merit.
And why does this male bovine feces take place? Because we have allowed the nation's college campuses to become festering cesspools of anti American thought. They push collectivist/globalist ideas to young skulls of mush and encourage them to be disruptive forces in society so they might have yet another swing at the piñata. Since their collectivist dreams failed in the USSR, Cuba, China, North Korea, Venezuela (need I go on?) they believe they should be given another chance. They believe those places just didn't do it right so they want to try it again here. With the university types in charge this time, since they are so much smarter than the filthy masses outside the ivy walls.
But that's a topic for another rant on another day.

Jill, Gary, Donald Or Hillary, Who Will Lead America?
Well, here we are, one day before the official day set aside for choosing the next POTUS.
What a cluster fuck!
We are presented with 4 options in most states. Jill Stein of the Green Party (whose true candidate should have been Bernie Sanders) is the statistically least likely to win. She is an avowed socialist/communist as are most members of the Green Party, as this has been the go to location for the admittedly far far left since the downfall of the USSR.
Next we have Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party. Understand, this is my natural home Party and that I am a registered Libertarian, but as nice a guy as Gary is, he's a flake. This should have been the LPs year to make a move up the ladder and challenge the big 2 and turn this country into a viable 3 Party system or maybe even replace one of the big 2. But alas and a lack, it was not to be. The LP chose Gary to be their standard barer and he proved to be woefully lacking in foreign policy and his stance on national sovereignty is disgraceful to a red blooded American. By nominating Gary I'm afraid the LP has doomed themselves to be, as the British might say, back benchers for the foreseeable future and I find that a shame when the 2 major parties put forth such flawed candidates. This is clearly an opportunity missed by the LP.
Then there is Donald Trump of the Republican Party. Donald is a loud mouthed, narcissistic billionaire with no background in politics. Much like H Ross Perot was back when he ran in '92. (Which by the way is the sole reason we have the whole foul legacy of the Clintons. Without Perot, GHW Bush would have easily defeated Clinton and they would have remained an Arkansas problem and not a national disgrace.) Donald has been the all powerful leader of an international corporation and a TV personality for decades. While he has only the passing knowledge of government that one gains from having to grease the wheels of government in order to do business, he doesn't have the relationships in government that those who have been there their entire adult lives.
So how in the hell did he become a major parties nominee?
Well, it's the establishment Republicans own fault that he is there. They were given the opportunity to fulfill the promises they made to the electorate when they were given the House and later the Senate and told to stop the country from falling off the cliff into socialism. But they failed to do so even though they had promised they would. Instead, once they got to DC they continued the cozy relationships between legislators and lobbyists and metaphorically said "screw you" to those who sent them there to do a job.
So this time round the work a day Republicans gave the establishment the one finger salute and chose a man who espoused a supportive position and at least had no history of turning on them. (When in fact he had no history at all.) Figuring he couldn't be any worse than the snakes who had betrayed them so many times before and he just MIGHT do what he said, and wouldn't that be a novel experience!
Then there is Hillary Rodham clinton the Democratic Party candidate. (Yes I meant to have the c in Clinton be lower case. Some of you may remember that she went by Hillary Rodham until Bill ran for president and it quickly became clear the US population didn't take to her feminist stance and she started using Clinton purely for political purposes.)
This woman is clearly the most corrupt person to run for POTUS in my lifetime and quite possibly ever. She has exposed US secrets through willfully setting up an email server contrary to directives and government regulations. She has sold the rights to something like 20% of US uranium to Russia after receiving financial benefits through the "Clinton Foundation". She was responsible for the overthrowing of the Libyan government so she would have something to point to as a foreign policy action (word is Obama was not really in favor of this action but went along to try and bolster her resume for the future White House run) then failed to provide adequate protection for our personnel serving in the lawless state left behind leading to the deaths of Ambassador Stevens and three others. She then fabricated and disseminated the hoax about the video being the cause of the attack and followed that up by lying to the relatives of those who died. She and her husband sold access to the presidency while Bill was POTUS by renting out the Lincoln bedroom and then continued their pay to play antics through the Clinton Foundation in the years since Bill left office. Their "charitable" foundation has been run as a slush fund for their personal use with less than 10% of funds taken in actually going to charitable giving. And to top it all off, she, in cahoots with the DNC, rigged the Democratic primary and was still barely able to beat self proclaimed socialist Bernie Sanders.
So there are our 4 choices.
The first 2 are not truly viable candidates. The next 2, well, as a friend of mine said, with them you are playing Russian roulette. The difference is Hillary is a semi automatic, you know you're getting a bullet to the head, Donald is a revolver, there is an honest chance the cylinder will come up empty.
Chose wisely grasshopper.
Or so it seems to an old farm boy.
