Is everyone tired of the bickering?

Yeah, I'm tired of the bickering.

But mostly, I am tired of the lying, the mischaracterization, and the scare tactics used by the left.  I'm tired of the slanted "journalism" (and I use the term loosely).

And a bit off topic, it's not that I'm tired of the protesters; it is just that I am so saddened by their ignorance and lack of understanding of our political system.  I know many young people that give me hope for the future, but then I read about things like "cry rooms" and "toddler therapy" and I just get sad.

We need to weaken the Federal government so state's rights matter again. That was the concept of the U.S. in the first place.  United States not one big Oligarchy.  Still, people can vote with their feet. If you want to live in La La land, move to CA, OR, WA, MA, CT, RI, HI, MD, NY, VT, IL, MN, etc.  There are many ultra progressive states in which to choose.  But, stay in the metro areas, as if you wander out, you are fair game, even in the Progressive states. 

These are key points.
It wouldn't immediately divide the country, but neither would it rip it apart.  Allow States to tax or subsidize that which they feel is important.  Allow States to regulate businesses and our lives as much as their residents feel prudent.  States that choose wisely will grow and prosper and more people will move there.

We still need a Federal Government for inter-state policies and for national defense, but the function of the Federal Government should be more of an enabler for the various States and less of a controlling authority for them.  As for financing the Federal Government, rather than taxing all individuals the Federal Government should collect fees from each State, but the States should be responsible for the method they choose to raise those funds.

We would see some States go the Socialist route, and some States go the Capitalist route, but most would choose policies somewhere in between (ie, the Bell Curve).  Each system would be given teh chance to succeed or fail on it's merits and as a Citizen of this Union of States, I could choose to live and work under the system I prefer.

The saddest thing about the cupcake/snowflake generation is that they believe democracy means they get to have their voice heard and nobody else gets to have their voice heard unless it agrees with them.
Typical spoiled brats.

Posted this to my FB since I have friends and family who are reeling today...

I want to take a moment and share a thought with and for my friends and family who wake up today in a world that seems upside down and at odds with their beliefs, hopes and aspirations - this too shall pass. I fully expected to wake up exactly where you are, with real fear in my heart for the future of our nation and her people - I have been living this, each and every day, for more than a decade. My beliefs, values and philosophy have been under assault for roughly 12 years - simply because of the party or candidates I support I have, directly and indirectly, been called names I would have never expected, I have been accused of things that are unspeakable, and this is where we the people have to bridge the gap and reject the rhetoric of divisiveness.

I strongly believe that it is not only possible to disagree on policy and still be friends, it is needed. Rejection of a policy position is not rejection of the person who holds it. Disagreement about a belief is not a value judgment of the person who believes it. We must be able on all sides to separate this in order to escape the destructive effects of identity politics and be able to see the good in all Americans regardless of their positions.

I believe that the most important word in the name of our country is united. We are united as a people not because we hold the same exact beliefs or values and march in lock step, but because we are united in a system that provides the most opportunity ever provided, in a system that, when it is functioning, allows for disagreement and course corrections by recognizing the strength that flows from all of us, not any singular group.

I know from personal experience that today is painful but I hope that those who are wondering what this all means can reject the manufactured caricatures and seek to find common ground, since there is far more where we agree then we are being told by a partisan media.

Donald J. Trump was never going to be a 'good' candidate in any traditional mold, and what he has done, and his primary and lasting achievement IMO, regardless of what happens now, is that he has put the flame torch to the keep of the political-media establishment, and has if not permanently at least temporarily put the entire power structure on its' heels and I believe, as I have maintained throughout this election, that THAT is what is most desperately needed for all Americans.

Once the corrupt comedian, Comey is gone, and Loretta Lynch with him, maybe we can rebuild trust in our law enforcement apparatus. Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, James Comey, Valerie Jarrett and Huma Abedin have to be indicted. Hilary Clinton, Barack Obama and a score of others need to feel like the noose is tightening around them for their crimes.

Trump has promised to appoint justices in the Scalia mold.  That is our only hope.  This is a major hit to the anti American, PC, Progressive movement.

Ted Cruz should sail through a nomination for SCOTUS. The rest of the Senate can't wait to get rid of him.
