Why Liberals Should NEVER Be In Charge

Keep on whining and crying and throwing those temper tantrums liberals…

No really, keep it up, please.

All of your actions since the election results were anounced, all of the public statements from leftist politicians like this one by NYC Mayor DeBlasio , the deafening silence from Obama NOT telling the rioting anti-Trump morons to stop, the adults holding cry fests on college campuses, the schools allowing students to skip classes and tests because they are upset about the results, the “need” for comfort pets and people wearing safety pins, the safe spaces and safe circles, the utterly infantile public meltdowns, keep it up.

Keep spreading the blatant lies on social media in an attempt to convince the public that there are millions protesting, such as this tweet that has been shared nearly 3,000 times and liked by more than 2,900 idiots who are too stupid to realize that the video is from Venezuela, where the citizens are protesting against the very system of government that Hillary represents, and that the very people sharing this were voting for.

Keep on protesting and blocking streets.  Keep preventing first responders from doing their jobs.  Keep causing the deaths of innocent people, like this man, the father of a four (4) year old daughter, who died because of you infantile morons throwing a hissy fit in the streets.

Keep screaming about how horribly evil the Electoral College is, and how it needs to be eliminated, even though you were perfectly fine with it on November 8th, right up until about 11:30pm Pacific.  Like it or not, the electoral college serves a purpose, and that statement is coming from a man whose presidential vote has NEVER IN HIS LIFE counted, because I am a conservative living in one of the bluest of blue states, California.  The electoral college has been around as long as the country has, it is in the Constitution, it is not going anywhere, and it has bitten both parties in the butt before.  If you don’t like it (right now because it worked against you) or don’t understand it, I urge you to take five minutes and educate yourself by watching the following video.

To all you liberals having a full on mental meltdown, while I freely admit I am enjoying watching you, I will also tell you that I really do feel your pain.  You see, I voted for the other guy in both 2008 and 2012.  I know what it feels like to lose a presidential election.  Hell, closer to home, on a much more personal basis, I have suffered far worse than just losing presidential elections.  I’m a cop in California where election after election, the liberal voters of this state keep voting for laws that make my job of protecting them harder, and quite literally put them at much higher risk of being a victim of violent crimes.  Despite all of the warnings from subject matter experts back in 2014 telling the voters that Prop 47 was bad, the liberal voters passed it.  Despite the resulting double digit increases in crime during the following 2 years, those same voters once again ignored all of the law enforcement professionals who were begging them to vote against Proposition 57, and once again, you liberals passed it.  Yet another law that will release violent felons from prison while putting yourselves, the people who voted it into law, at greater risk while simultaneously making my job, and the job of all California law enforcement officers harder still.

You see, I really do understand being upset about the outcome of an election, probably far more so than you do.  The difference is, I and all the other conservatives out there dusted ourselves off and carried on.  We may have not been supportive of the other candidate, but we did not drop on the floor and cry, for weeks on end.

The behavior you are exhibiting now, for the last week, and likely for weeks to come, just adds more and more evidence that my statement below is absolutely true.  People who cannot appropriately deal with adversity have absolutely no business running a country!

I mean really, when an ultra-liberal leaning show such as Saturday Night Live makes fun of you, you know something is wrong.  But hey, by all means, keep stomping your feet and screaming…

 

My Wasted Vote

la-me-pol-california-ballot-measures-2016-20151108
I just spent the better part of an hour reading the voter guide on the few propositions I was not already educated on. I carefully blackened all the corresponding ovals on my absentee ballot, so that my selections would not accidentally be subject to a “calibration error” and be cast the opposite of how I voted, especially in the presidential race. I sealed the envelope, signed it, and as I laid the envelope on the outgoing mail pile, I resigned myself to having just completely wasted all that time and energy.
 
Who was I kidding? I have no doubt that this year, just like the last 4 elections that I can recall (possibly more), every proposition I voted on will go the exact opposite of how I voted, and other than some of my local political representatives, every other race will likely go to the other candidate.
 
Being a pro-gun, pro-law and order, anti-drug conservative living in California is seriously like living behind enemy lines. I feel like someone living in East Berlin during the cold war. I know what I want, I can see it just over the state line, but I am trapped here where my opinion counts for dick. My job is to protect the public, the same public who every single year votes for laws which not only make that job harder, but the public who also votes for laws, or politicians who push laws, that make it more difficult for that very same public to protect themselves.
 
I feel like the last sane Roman sitting on a hill watching Rome burn in the distance. I absolutely hate this feeling.
