Carr: Nation fails its moral exam
The emperor has no clothes.
Wh**ever happens Tuesday, and I’m not that optimistic, at least Donald Trump’s campaign has exposed the utter moral and ethical bankruptcy of the American establishment from top to bottom.
They’re frauds — the Democrats, their media coatholders, the Paul Ryan Republicans, Wall Street, all of them. And they are so, so unhappy — they don’t just h**e the “deplorables,” the “irredeemables” and the “bitter clingers.” They despise one another. They h**e themselves.
From WikiLeaks, we know the disdain they have for “medieval” Catholics and “needy Latinos.”
We’ve long understood the Clintons’ breathtaking contempt for “the help” — Secret Service agents, the military, basically anyone in uniform. Now we’re discovering the Clintons’ supposed acolytes feel the same way about their masters. They say no man is a hero to his valet, and to the Clintons, we are all valets.
Doug Band writes a withering email to Podesta saying Chelsea is “not smart.”
Podesta replies: “You’re perfecting your sk**ls for understatement.”
Neera Tunden exhorts Podesta to stay on Hillary’s case and “eventually (she) will sound like a human.”
I doubt it, Neera.
As Dave Chappelle, the comedian, told an audience in New York Friday night, “She’s not right and we all know it.”
She and all the people who surround her.
They’re these inside-the-Beltway, trust-funded supercilious snots from third-tier Ivy League wannabe schools who, as Victor Davis Hanson put it, “sound quite clever without being especially bright, attuned to social justice without character. Their religion is not so much progressivism as appearing cool and hip and ‘right’ on the issues ... . Well-connected and mediocre ... . They write and sound off about the buffoon Trump and preen in sanctimonious moral outrage ... .”
Even if Hillary staggers across the finish line Tuesday, does anyone really think she can put the genie back in the bottle? Half the country is checking out, has checked out already. Nobody reads the Hillary-worshipping newspapers anymore, or watches their crappy TV networks. They have not a shred of moral authority.
I’m not worried so much right now about the Second Amendment — Robby Mook and George Stephanopoulos and the rest of the pajama boys won’t be kicking down anyone’s doors anytime soon, although higher taxes on ammo are certainly on the agenda. Via executive order, of course. Why go the constitutional route when Hillary’s new and improved Supreme Court will rubber-stamp everything?
Banana Republic — it’s not just an overpriced clothing store in the mall anymore. We’re living in one, have been for eight years now.
If Hillary wins, it’s going to be a long winter for the Little Sisters of the Poor and independent filmmakers and anyone else who relies on the protections of the First Amendment. As for the rest of us, these next few years are going to be a lot like they were for dejected Roman citizens in the fifth century A.D.
The Empire’s over, the barbarian hordes have breached the gates, but if you can just get a flat-bottomed boat and flee to those swamps around Venice, maybe you can fortify the Grand Canal and hold out against the Goths a little while longer.
As has become abundantly clear, the Clintons don’t believe they are bound by any laws that inconvenience them in the slightest. After all, she’s on record in Brazil as saying that her dream is “open borders.” Which are, of course, against the law. But like Obama, Hillary wants to import a replacement population, one as amoral and shiftless as she and her followers. People who, you might say, don’t need no stinkin’ badges.
If you believe that we are a nation of laws, not men, if you want the laws enforced, especially “without fear or favor” as they used to say — then Hillary and her supporters denounce you as a, uh, r****t, or something.
John Adams once wrote of the new republic: “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
Are we still a moral and religious people? Sadly, I think we all know the answer to that question — even before the polls open Tuesday.

Loc: Not sure
You have to wonder, how in the hell did we get to this point? I think we know the answer but the real question is can we ever go back and I'm afraid that answer is no. Our country is now leaning so far to the left that very soon it's going to fall over from within. Now the liberals have all the people that have been living from hand outs from our government and thousands have been added under the Obama administration where they want them. These people have been so programed into thinking that they are owed something from our government. Soon they will outnumber the stubborn that have refused to get on the wagon for the free ride and if they ever do who will be to pull a full wagon? Why is it that when it comes time for our two party system to select someone to run for office we almost always pick, no wait a minute we don't select but the party leaders do thanks to BIG money, and that goes for both party's. NASA we have a problem regardless of which party wins on Tuesday.

The nation is failing its moral exam based on your narrow definition of what is acceptable and "moral." Why do not you just admit you are threatened that you see the last nail in the coffin for your white male dominated society being struck? That Women are more influential in this e******n that Men? That Minorites, who really aren't any more, decide the e******n while you don't.
Feel threatened Punk, do you?

Punk? What are you Dirty Harry? Related to dirt? Dumb as a box of rocks? All 3?
Look I feel for you. You are busy lapping up wh**ever the liberal political machine is ladling out because either you just don't know any better or you're just plain "stoopid". Turn off the Clinton News Network (CNN) and NBC (Nobody But Clinton) and CBS (Clinton BS) and there just might be some hope for you.

Benjamin Franklin, when asked by A Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, “A republic, if you can keep it.”
Our nation is failing its moral exam through the politics of division and discord. Your answer if fully illustrative of my point.

This guy is so on! Washington needs to be purged of the career and family dynasty politicians, that is the only way to weed out the massive corruption there. We need our Laws changed so that Political Officeholders face mandatory long hard prison terms for acts of corruption and/or other fraud related acts.
