Did golf save the United States?

comicallyincorrect

American Thinker  . . . "A couple of months before Donald Trump shellacked Hillary Clinton in the election, President Obama took some time away from his busy golf schedule to continue his global apology tour, in Laos, where he twice implied that Americans are lazy.  Interesting words coming from a president who has played more than three hundred games of golf during the course of his seven-year presidency.  Yes, I say seven years, because, during the nearly eight years since he took the oath of office, he has spent close to one entire year of his presidency whacking a little white ball around.

"In a sane world, the employer (American citizens) would clearly have terminated an employee (Obama) for such a lax attitude toward work.  But a gimmie is surely in order for this particular putz, as his golfing escapades may have actually turned out to be a good thing for the vast majority of Americans." . . .

As California confronts Trump, rural Republicans hunker down

Politico  "Frost settled on cattle ranches and pine groves in this conservative outpost of California, amid a more political chill over the state’s emergence as a national counterweight to Donald Trump.

"While the state’s dwindling number of conservatives had celebrated an unexpected victory in Trump’s election last month, they are now facing a harsh reality in which a backlash threatens to push their state further to the left. And it’s already underway — with super-majorities in both houses of the Legislature, Democrats this week began mustering a vigorous resistance to the president-elect, introducing measures to protect undocumented immigrants and promising similar movement on health care and the environment.

" 'They’re empowered now, and they’re mad,” said Mark Baird, who fixed an American flag to his barn on his ranch outside Fort Jones one recent morning. “It’s over. This is Stalinist Russia.”

"Following the election, Baird, a leader of a longstanding and improbable effort by several Northern California counties to secede from California, warned fellow property owners about water-related environmental policies he feared “are going to heat up” in the Spring. Meanwhile, Baird was preparing to sue the state over its dearth of lawmakers representing rural, sparsely populated counties." . . .

It Turns Out Donald Trump Isn’t The Racist Sexist Homophobe Liberals Say He Is

Downtrend  "Hillary Clinton and the liberal media painted a false portrait of Donald Trump during the election as a racist misogynist homophobe. None of that is based on facts or even anecdotal evidence, but the fragile liberal population has taken it as gospel. It’s so bad that liberals have crisis councilors to deal with Trump’s election and are committing acts of violence to denounce him. If they could take their heads out of their asses for a brief moment however, they might notice he is not quite the monster they believe him to be.

"First, and this is an important fact that the media chooses to ignore, is that Donald Trump is the only president in the history of America to enter office supporting gay marriage. Obama didn’t support it until after he took office and VP Joe Biden accidentally outed him. Bill Clinton never supported same-sex marriage his entire two terms." . . .
