Trump’s Lack of Decorum and Dignity

Interesting even though it only scratches the surface. As I was saying…Biden’s only defense (ignorance is not a defense) is that he never heard of Alinsky or forgot if he did. He doesn’t have a clue that he is being used for the implementation of the tenets of the Alinsky playbook dedicated to Lucifer.

?In Rules for Radicals, Alinsky describes a radical as one who is “challenging, agitating discrediting. He stirs unrest, burns his bridges, you’re never going to go back anyway, and live to the end.”

?That is the enemy we are fighting, and Biden is their dupe, which is why we are inalterably set against him and the minions who are committed to perpetrating their revolution against the United States. For those of my friends who hate Trump I generally say two things:

?(1)?? I understand.

?(2)?? Are you aware that you are” burning your bridge” and if you continue “you’re never going back.” We are on the same side (of the bridge) and we don’t want to be stranded here with you. Let’s do this together. Make America, America again!!

?Marshall Kamena is a registered Democrat and was elected mayor of Livermore, CA.. He ran on the democratic ticket as he knew a Bay Area city would never vote for a Republican. He is a conservative .He wrote the following which provides ample substance for thought.

Trump’s 'Lack of Decorum, Dignity, and Statesmanship'

By Marshall? Kamena, Mayor of Livermore, CA.

My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent #NeverTrumpers) constantly ask me if I’m not bothered by Donald Trump’s lack of decorum. They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.”

Here’s my answer: We Right-thinking people have tried dignity There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency.

We tried statesmanship.

Could there be another human being on this earth who so desperately prized “collegiality” as John McCain?

We tried propriety – has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney?

And the results were always the same. This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality and propriety, the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob.

I don’t find anything “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper” about Barack Obama’s lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds because racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party.

I don’t see anything “dignified” in lying about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi and imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your tracks.

I don’t see anything “statesman-like” in weaponizing the IRS to be used to destroy your political opponents and any dissent.

Obama was in no way was he in the least bit “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper.”

The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the ‘60s. To them, it has been an all-out war where nothing is held sacred and nothing is seen as beyond the pale.. It has been a war they’ve fought with violence, the threat of violence, demagoguery and lies from day one – the violent take-over of the universities – 'till today.

The problem is that, through these years, the Left has been the only side fighting this war. While the Left has been taking a knife to anyone who stands in their way, the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality and propriety.

Donald Trump is America ’s first wartime president in the Culture War.

During wartime, things like “dignity” and “collegiality” simply aren’t the most essential qualities one looks for in their warriors. Ulysses Grant whose behavior in peacetime might well have seen him drummed out of the Army for conduct unbecoming.

Had Abraham Lincoln applied the peacetime rules of propriety and booted Grant, the Democrats might well still be holding their slaves today. Lincoln rightly recognized that, “I cannot spare this man. He fights.”

General George Patton was a vulgar-talking martinet. In peacetime, this might have seen him stripped of rank. But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied the normal rules of decorum then, Hitler and the Socialists would barely be five decades into their thousand-year Reich.

Trump is fighting. And what’s particularly appealing is that, like Patton standing over the battlefield as his tanks obliterated Rommel’s, he’s shouting, “You magnificent bastards, I read your book!”

That is just the icing on the cake, but it’s wonderful to see that not only is Trump fighting, he’s defeating the Left using their own tactics. That book is Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals – a book so essential to the Liberals’ war against America that it is and was the playbook for the entire Obama? administration and the subject of Hillary Clinton’s senior thesis.

It is a book of such pure evil. As the rest of us would dedicate our book to those we most love or those to whom we are most indebted, Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer.

Trump’s tweets are often rash and unconsidered and there are better, more articulate, and thoughtful ways to combat fake news— and they are so fake that they have literally (and deliberately) gotten every single significant story of the past 60 years not just wrong, but diametrically opposed to the truth: from the Tet Offensive to Benghazi, to what really happened on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri — Trump by assuming the mantle of accuracy has strikingly isolated CNN.. He made it personal.

He is a master at employing ridicule which?has been described as “the most powerful weapon of all.”... Most importantly, Trump’s tweets have put CNN in an untenable and unwinnable position. They need to respond, are responding and are flailing. This leaves them with only two choices. They can either “go high” (as Hillary would disingenuously declare of herself and the fake news would disingenuously report as the truth) and begin to honestly and accurately report the news or they can double-down on their usual tactics and hope to defeat Trump with twice their usual hysteria and demagoguery.

The problem for CNN (et al.) with the former is that, if they were to start honestly reporting the news, that would be the end of the Democratic Party they serve. It is nothing but the incessant use of fake news (read: propaganda) that keeps the Left alive.?

Imagine, for example, if CNN had honestly and accurately reported then-candidate Barack Obama’s close ties to foreign terrorists (Rashid Khalidi), domestic terrorists (William Ayers & Bernardine Dohrn), the mafia (Tony Rezko) or the true evils of his spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright’s church.

Imagine if they had honestly and accurately conveyed the evils of the Obama administration’s weaponizing of the IRS to be used against their political opponents or his running of guns to the Mexican cartels or the truth about the murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the Obama administration’s cover-up.

I have considered what Mayor Kamena has expressed. This is my response. Do I wish we lived in a time when our President could be “collegial” and “dignified” and “proper”? Of course I do.

Despite strident opinions to the contrary, (including the mayor’s) I refuse to concede that these are not those times Yes, this is war. And it’s a war that the Left has been fighting without opposition for the past 50 years. While Trump has been shabbily treated without remit, we should not excuse much of the verbal extremes he employs. As a matter of principle, it is disrespectful to the office and demeaning for the country; pragmatically, he alienates and polarizes 50% of the electorate, so even a victory will be pyrrhic and hollow.

Trump has been, vulgar, crude and excessively disparaging. I care, and I heartily disapprove. As I said I understand why he is reviled. I agree with the Mayor’s criticism of Biden and more, but I disagree that we can discard the dignity of the office of the Presidency. I condemn Trump’s use of invective and personal attacks. Due to the manipulation by the media and a two- tiered Justice system where the scales of Justice are maliciously tilted against him, I believe he deserves some latitude for his aggressive rebuttals. But a true leader conducts himself as Grant did at Appomattox and during Reconstruction. A true leader is fierce and dignified simultaneously. He rises about the fray, while remaining in hand-to-hand combat, and stoops to conquer.

When we recognize Biden as a clueless captive of the radical left, for whom Alinsky not the Constitution is a foundational document, we understand we must be implacably against him, and those who use him as a figurehead. We are left with Trump whose lack of dignity we must not condone. He appears incorrigible but from our nooks and crannies we must disapprove of his unworthy conduct as the means of correcting him, however little comfort that affords us. ?Between the two as candidates for the Presidency we have no choice other than to denounce Biden and prefer Trump.
