The Inauguration War

The Left prepares its counter-attack on American democracy.

According to Gallup, the average presidential honeymoon lasts seven months. This is a window when the losing party declares a partisan peace, allows the incoming president to pick his cabinet and launch the agenda his victory mandates. Presidential honeymoons are not only a venerable American tradition they are one of democracy’s pillars. For generations they have been ceremonial supports for the peaceful transition of power, and the peaceful resolution of partisan conflicts.

Not this election year. There will be no honeymoon. This year even before Trump arrives in the Oval Office, the opposition cry has been Resist! Block! Reject! It is not just anti-American radicals like Michael Moore, who has indeed called for “100 days of resistance” to the Trump presidency, but by the leadership of the Democratic Party which has vowed to fight Trump’s appointments, has attacked the election result as an expression of popular racism, attempted to discredit the Electoral College by falsely calling it a legacy of slavery, and even accused Trump of being a Russian agent, a pawn in the chess game of its dictator Vladimir Putin. It is a sad day for America when the world’s oldest political party, whose name proclaims it a partisan of democracy, comes out in force as a saboteur of that same system.

Nor is all this simply a fit of Democratic absent-mindedness. Instead, it is the culmination of a long developing shift in Democratic Party politics, a shift symbolized by the current favorite to become its next leader. Keith Ellison is a Muslim radical who spent his formative adult years as a vocal supporter of the anti-American, anti-Semitic racist Louis Farrakhan. Ellison reflects the power of the Bernie Sanders radicals in the Democratic Party who according to recent Gallup polls now represent its majority, even though they lost a rigged primary election which would have made him the party’s presidential nominee.

The face of this new Democratic Party was revealed during a seminal moment in the second Clinton-Trump presidential debate.

I'm ready to go to war on with the Left. I am sick and tired or them messing with Democracy with the "It's my way or the Highway" attitude.

The Democrats have poisoned democracy using Alinsky's rules.

Let's hope sanity is restored.

Funny how Trump was called "Ant-American" for just hinting he might not accept a defeat in the election, and now the retarded Liberals are showing us how Anti-American they really are!

Oh please. Get over yourselves. Republican Opposition to everything Obama did started on day one of his administration and never let up.

@11:48 Republican opposition probably did start on day one but I can tell you what didn't start...protests, crying and whining about our new President. What we did do is try our best to deal with it unlike you liberals. You have practically fallen apart because you didn't get your way. Spoiled little brats...all of you.

3:02. you have either a very short or very selective memory. Protests started almost immediately after Obama was elected and culminated in hundreds of Tea Party protests throughout 2009 and 2010. As to crying and whining, look back on some old Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh episodes from that period. In fact, go back and look at some of the old SBY News posts from those days. You never tried your best to deal with anything.

4:18 you do know that protesting and rioting are two different things right ?? Tea party protests were mainly peaceful but the rioting by the snowflakes and thugs was uncalled for. In the last 40 years I have been voting I have never seen the amount if crying and whining and tantrums being thrown by the left. Your comparing things said on a small blog site to what the left has been screaming about on every major news organization since the day Trump was elected. That's a stretch don't ya think ? As a republican I believe we have tried for the last 8 years to do our best. But when your president is a race baiting, money spending liar it's kind of hard. How do you explain to your children that you would have rather had a criminal that is married to a rapist in the White House over someone who isn't politically correct in your mind?? Wow just wow ...why don't you take a good long hard look in the mirror and get over yourself. You lost deal with it 😏
