The Hypocrisy Of This Weekend’s Protests: Stunning, But Not Surprising

The farcical and hypocritical nature of the “women’s rights” protest was on display from the get-go, as they were focused on Trump alone, with no mention of another womanizer in attendance at Trump’s Inauguration, who just so happened to be a former President of the United States as well.  Notably, his womanizing was on full display, as he ogled Ivanka (or was it Melania?) Trump at the Inauguration:

Lest you all of a sudden forget the sexual depravity of Bill Clinton, the things he has done are at least as bad as what Trump has said, and at worst criminal acts in their own right.  Even worse, Hillary has condoned Bill’s behavior, and often slandered those who would dare speak out against it.  You should note, no such protests occurred 20 years ago, during Bill’s presidency and impeachment trial.  And, for the record, of all the things to impeach Bill Clinton for and attempt to remove him from office, his womanizing behavior is near the bottom of the list.  That is a problem for him and Hillary, not the rest of the country.

But did the protesters make any mention of Bill Clinton’s misconduct?  Of course not.  They were there for Trump, and made this protest about partisan politics instead of the “women’s rights” they were allegedly in support of.   But don’t worry, when it comes to personal behavior, its a one-way, partisan street from the protesters, and you get a pass if you’re from their party.

The protesters had no regard for law enforcement or criminal behavior, smashing windows and engaging with police on many occasions, far too many to list.  But the worst part was the fact that they were protesting the authorities themselves for saving someone having a heart attack, even when the “someone” turned out to one of their own protesters:

The protesters even made the ignorant comparison of women’s rights to gun rights, blissfully unaware of the truth that Gun Owners Across America so eloquently pointed out:

This poor lady….

– She wants you to wait 72 hours after you go out to buy a woman while you await a background investigation.

– She wants women to be banned from entering schools and college campuses.

– She wants women banned from polling places on Election Day.

– She wants you to pay a fee to the state before you carry a woman on your person.

– She wants some women banned simply because they look too scary.

– She wants women banned from all airports.

– She wants women to be locked up at all times when not in use.

I wholeheartedly disagree with her!!!

Speaking of guns and violence, celebrities got in on the protest, with Madonna laying down one of the most hate filled speeches of all, which included these particular lines:

And to our detractors that insist that this March will never add up to anything, fuck you. Fuck you.

Yes, I have thought an awful lot of blowing up the White House.

Can you imagine how people would have reacted if Ted Nugent said this at Obama’s inauguration in 2009?  Him and half of his audience would probably still be in federal custody right now.  But the protesters will tell you, “Oh c’mon, Madonna wasn’t being serious!”  Yep, sure, nothing to see here, move along, right?  But wouldn’t “equal rights” for women involve giving Madonna and the left the same treatment laid upon Clint Eastwood and the right?

Perhaps it is an adequate point though – the vast majority of the protesters probably can’t lift anything heavier than their cellphones, and if they were to try to stab Trump, they probably couldn’t push the knife into him hard enough to break his skin.  

So how is it that so many protesters were able to descend across so many cities across the US, in particular Washington DC?  As sources ranging from The NY Daily News to Infowars pointed out, they were bussed and/or flown in.  Would you really be surprised to find out that George Soros was picking up the tab, with three times the number of bus permits issued for the protest than Trump’s inauguration?

The protesters are of course going to draw upon their turnout in largely liberal cities as a sign of their “successful” protest.  But the truth is, the real turnout was already made by Trump supporters on election day.  To those who say that more turned out for the protest than the Inauguration: isn’t DC an over 90 percent liberal city that Trump repeatedly promised he would “drain the swamp” of during his campaign?  Is it really that much of an accomplishment to get (paid) protesters to show up on a Saturday as part of some big political stunt?

Here’s another truth: the majority of Americans (in particular the rural, middle class that by and large came out for Trump) do not have the time or money to rent a comfy AirBnB in DC, buy (or have someone else buy) plane tickets, all for the purpose of prancing around DC huffing and pouting about losing an election, while waving hypocritical and aggrandizing signs in an effort to fish for Facebook likes.

The entire protest was just a selfish, unproductive poutfest executed by the losing side of an election.  And, as RedStateWatcher pointed out, no one summed up the whole charade better than Jesse James:

As many (including myself) have pointed out, the policies of the Obama administration have led to a hollow, empty recovery that many (including myself) believe is perilously close to imploding, and this has left the next President with an awful hand of cards, whether it ended up being Hillary or Trump.

But the real protest was made long before Inauguration Day, when the voters came out on Election Day to elect Trump, in the “hope” that no matter how bad things have gotten or will get, maybe a DC outsider can bring about real change to our country’s broken political system.

Take note of where the protests occurred – in the urban centers that encapsulate the very small swaths of blue in a sea of red.  Trump supporters already came out and protested when it mattered.  If those against him could follow the message of Jesse James and spend their energy on helping others instead of a selfish, pouty grandstanding about losing the election, maybe they could actually effect some positive change in this country. 

I won’t be holding my breath waiting for it to happen.

I’ve tried to have a conversation with the uber liberals in my life.

When I ask what the march was about they tell me: Womens Rights.
When I ask what rights are they asking for, they just claim equal rights. When I ask why Pro Life women were not allowed to march, because, they have rights too, right? They shut the fuck up because I obviously don’t have a clue.

It’s a shit show of suddenly empowered pissed off women who truly believe this was a grassroots movement started by one woman on facebook and suddenly within two weeks permits are in place, transportation is in place, media is in place, why it’s almost as if it were magic.

Do they give a rats ass about anyone but themselves? What about the vets, what about the homeless, what about other women in other countries who suffer from genital mutilation, or slavery, or sold, or or or……………Trump said PUSSY. FuckingChrist as if Obama never said pussy, or tits, or cock, or let me fuck you up the Hershey highway.

Let’s set aside the ignored sexual misdeeds of Bill Clinton. How many of these self absorbed women have given even a moment’s thought to the hopeless plight of women in Libya and Syria now living under the brutal heel of ISIS lunatics thanks to the regime change foreign policy objectives of Hillary and Obama? For reasons no rational person can comprehend, crazed American feminist leftists absolutely worship those two war criminals. Is leftist women’s sense of entitlement to free stuff from government so strong that they no longer have a moral compass?

These progressive women all demand income redistribution. How about sex partner redistribution to ugly and homeless men that are not of their choosing. Wouldn’t that be virtuous too?

This guy has the proper diplomatic touch. I think it was Francis that said it wouldn’t be much of a fight. The wingnut guys are incapable if mounting a response.

The one at Liberty Memorial in KC was substantial. I was at the damn thing purely by accident: I was trying to get a fucking lunch.

Lunatics had every parking spot within several miles of the location blocked off, and nobody was paying for a damn thing. Trash strewn everywhere, “pussy” hats and signs everywhere. I got a fair share of dirty looks.

My wife turned to me and asked “There is so many, how did we ever win the election?”

We are spread far and wide, with responsibilities that don’t end when the clock strikes 5, and jobs that don’t allow for random flights of fancy. Our ethics and morality keep this place running, and its going to take a lot more than some foppish morons in pink hats to really stir the core of America.

We showed up when it counted. The rest of the time we endeavor to be left alone, and produce to the best of our ability.

Come on, Duane, its WOMYN’s rights. Get with the program…

These people are out of their damn minds. I’m just glad I live in one of those nice big red areas. I really don’t care what these people do in the large cities as long as they keep it there. I do know one thing, though – whatever these people hope to accomplish, they will end up achieving the opposite. Regular people are getting sick of this shit. All they are doing is reinforcing people’s belief that they made the right decision in November.

Another fun fact- these nutjobs will end up driving the entire democratic platform further left, a stance that has been widely repudiated. None of this is going to help them in 2018 when a shitload of dems are up for reelection. Apparently they think that the reason us dirt people didn’t get the message is that they didn’t scream it in our faces loud and often enough. I seem to remember a sun tzu line about never interrupting your enemy while he is making a mistake.

That’s a good map of where the liberals, illegal immigrants and blacks live. Keep out of those areas. And notice most of them are “on the fringe.” 🙂

And these protests were partly organized by a muslim woman, Linda Sarsour, who if she did this in one of those countries would be stoned to death for speaking in public. What hypocrisy.
These women have no idea what they are doing.

Eventually this crap will lead to blood in the streets. I am sure Soros will have invested in war making material by then. All the while the China man laughs with his under valued yuan
