The angry voter rises

Americans are ticked off!

That is the perception of politicians and pundits alike.

Polls are grim. The natives are restless.

I don’t think there is any question that anger is palpable.

People are turning to Donald Trump for answers to problems others have fumbled.

By comparison, Hillary is politically frumpy.

Things have gone too far. The slope is increasingly slippery due to the current administration’s fixation on matters philosophical and ideological rather than personal and practical.

But those are generalizations. What exactly is it that is making Americans so cranky?

Well, 10 people would likely provide 10 different lists. I only know what has my britches in a bunch.

Here’s the lean inventory.

I am angry at the whole Leftist presentation.

If I hear “social justice” or “diversity” one more time, I am going to say a bad word. One would think Syria was heaven compared to America.

I have sat through my last Academy Awards show. It isn’t about accomplishments in film anymore. It is nothing but a boring free forum for liberal propaganda.

I am upset over a president who promised to bring everyone together, but instead promoted divisiveness and rancor for political purposes.

Along that same familiar line, we have Hillary Clinton whispering to audiences about conspiratorial Republican governors plotting to keep voters from the polls come November. Somehow requiring photo identification to vote hints of racism, ageism, and sexism.

But that’s how the Left rolls.

Everyone’s a victim of conniving right wingers, a vaguely concealed reference to white men, the Left’s primary scourge.

I am hacked at the liberals’ insistence that the Constitution is open to whatever interpretation they choose, but everyone should know the Constitution was deliberately designed for constancy.

Justice Scalia had it right. Hence, the Left’s disdain for him and why Obama scorned his funeral.

I am angry about the expanding secularism in this nation orchestrated by the Left. This narrowing of religion is a deliberate attack on faith and the First Amendment.

The phony argument that declarations of faith or of laws grounded in traditional origins is somehow offensive to non-believers is absurd and is in itself intolerant. Separation of church and state has become a secularist weapon.

I’m angry about this administration’s determination to make this country as mediocre as its socialist models. We have seen a rollback in American influence and are experiencing the tremor it has sent through the rest of the world.

I’m angry about the border and the lies that have accompanied this grossly irresponsible situation.

Isn’t it clear by now the Left wants an open border to rejuvenate a flagging base? Indeed, the Left is willing to cause social upheaval, a massive waste of resources, and an influx of illegal drugs and gangs to save itself.

Only Dr. Ben Carson has spoken against political correctness. I am angry he was marginalized by the media for doing so. Did you not notice the good doctor being overlooked in the debates?

I’m angry that the Left and Big Media believe only a liberal black man should have a voice. Call it political bigotry if you want. That’s what it is.

So much for tolerance relentlessly touted.

I’m hacked at the enormous compilation of debt and this government’s indifference to it. Only those spending other people’s money can be so reckless.

As a result, a debt crisis looms. Is it being constructed deliberately by the anti-capitalist Left infatuated by a new social design?

As a solution to profligate spending, taxpayers are sitting ducks. Financially secure Americans are the Left’s resource for higher taxes.

Get ready hard workers, business people, and entrepreneurs!

I’m burned at Bernie for telling young people he will provide free tuition for public colleges.

What are the numbers, Bernie?

Bernie doesn’t say, but the notion appeals to young voters looking for a painless fix. College debt is a manufactured issue designed to attract young voters.

I know when I borrow money, I have to pay it back. Isn’t that what adults do, and how is that not fair and reasonable?

I’m ripped that so many think all is well as long as someone else pays.

Finally, Obama’s Defense Department has approved American women for combat. Just know if you are conservative, it is far more likely your daughter will have that experience than a liberal‘s.

Lefties don’t do that kind of thing.

That imbalance should make you angry.

It does me.
