Wow! What a difference an election makes. An
entire class of the American population is shocked by the outcome of the recent
election of Donald J. Trump. They are
blaming every possible causation of that result with one exception, that of the
common sense of the people.
HEADLINE: Hubris seems to have cost the Democratic party this
election. In sticking to their indoctrinated
beliefs that they are the superior faction (in every way), they refused to look
at the facts.
Denial: refusal to satisfy a request or desire. 2. a (1) :
refusal to admit the truth or reality (as of a statement or charge) (2) : assertion that an allegation is false b:
refusal to acknowledge a person or a thing: disavowal.
Hu·bris: [ˈ(h)yo͞obrəs]: excessive pride or self-confidence.
antonyms: humility (in Greek tragedy) excessive pride toward or defiance of
the gods, leading to nemesis.
In their usual misinterpretation, of how correct they are in
their ingrained beliefs and judgments, they
completely misjudged how sick and tired most of us are of hearing how ignorant,
uninformed, racist, bigoted and just plain stupid we are for not accepting
their policies and ideology.
Most of us are just
sick and tired of being fed an intellectual diet of bovine excrement,
non-existent transparency, politically
correct language and policies. We are
tired of Senate leaders who refuse to act on legislation because of a President
who puts his political beliefs in front of our nation. The recognition of that discomfort, at a
national level, propelled Mr. Trump to one of the highest electoral victories
in the last few generations of voters.
It is, apparently, not enough that we have been
subjected to the name calling of the last nine months. In their pain and anguish, the democrats are
continuing the fight and spreading the hatred.
It is a precursor of the next round of division in our country. Instead of looking to the policies, that have
been rejected, the Democrats have blamed racism for the failures of their
ideological stance of the 1950’s and sixties.
Thanks to the race baiters their ideology is stuck on the misbelief “white folks” want people of color to remain
as second class citizens. That
misconception is another of the reason for the recent defeat of the Democratic
party. Just as their hubris neglected to
recognize that as a weakness during the election they continue to hold on to
that part of their narrative and belief.
As a conservative, I sincerely hope they continue their hubris. As an American I would much rather see the
complete evaporation of their judgemental, all knowing pride.
As a side note, I reiterate my oft-spoken belief, that
All is never a correct way to describe a group of individuals when at most it
should be some and in most cases a few.
The actual truth of
the people of our nation is that most of us respect the other person's
humanity, rights and freedoms, the rights of their individual beliefs. Most of our people will give a helping hand
to another human being regardless of any difference. Most of us do not wish harm on any other
person. Most of us do not judge another
by the color of their skin, their educational level, their economic level,
UNLESS those judgemental attitudes have been taught to them.
To trade one form of
prejudice for another doesn’t make you better or different but it can make you
a bigot of another color. Arbee
I might suggest that
in the best interests of our country that the Democrats do an honest appraisal
of what really happened, and adapt a position of humility in place of
hubris. That just might help heal the
effect of the policy of divide and conquer which is no longer effective. We, as a nation, do not have to accept the
socialistic world view of a borderless international governmentally controlled
species. There is a better path for us.
Love your neighbor,
Pray for our country, support our military, and stand up for law and order.
God Bless our nation
and it’s leaders.
