Reader says The world’s biggest stable is filled to the rim with horse dung and someone, presumably not you, needs to do something about it

Faith in Government

the Left’s perspective seems warped by cognitive dissonance. Trump’s task is herculean. The world’s biggest stable is filled to the rim with horse dung and someone, presumably not you, needs to do something about it. Emotions are important but at some point they need to be put to the side in favor of effective action. Your mileage may vary, but you might want to cut Trump a little slack and not try to drag him down to your level. Detraction is a sin we should all work to avoid, particularly when it is directed toward political leaders like Trump who are so clearly working in good faith toward the improvement and betterment of our nation.

Just look what Trump accomplished, against all odds? Why? Because people are desperate for some common sense which we can’t get from the today”s politicians. Securing our borders; better vetting for refugees and people from terror grown countries; a focus of jobs; deregulating finance/EPA and repairing our infrastructure are all good, common sense things our country is in desperate need of. Where was the outrage when Obama made policy changes that affect Cubans? Is the left anti-Cuban? The left look like idiots fighting and protesting to make it easier for terrorists and illegals to come to our country. So stupid. Why aren’t the majority Muslim countries taken in all these refugees but only majority Christian countries are, tell me why?

New York Times: Charles Blow Takedown letter to editor

The New York Times

 As I watched last week as protesters took to the streets in big cities, what struck me was the vast and growing divide between America’s rural and urban populations and their politics and sensibilities. One look at county maps of this year’s election results and you see what looks like a handful of blueberries sprinkled on an endless spread of red sauce (between the blue coasts). And yet, it is likely that the final result will be that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, although Donald Trump won the electoral vote and therefore the election. Part of the reason for this is that, as a census report noted last year: “U.S. cities are home to 62.7 percent of the U.S. population but comprise just 3.5 percent of land area.”

Letter comment selection

Quote “Charles, there is this little thing called social media, you should check it out sometime. It’s allowed the average person to communicate directly with one another and share THEIR ideas without the pompous, narrow viewed opinions of some Liberal elite.

For decades you and yours were able to get away with controlling the narrative by virtue of having the only relevant soapboxes in town. Fast forward to today and you see a completely different landscape for information sharing, one in which ideas are exchanged at the speed of light free of media controlled bias.

Trump won the election because when people compared the dialogue that they were having with one another to your Liberal prism, they realized that they were no longer being represented.

Trump for ALL his flaws recognized and exploited this to great effect.”
