Time To Grow Up

As a father of three, you can bet that I know a temper tantrum when I see one. Trust me, I know all about the "Hold-your-breath-till-you-get-your-way", or the "Kick-and-scream-that-it's-not-fair". Let's not forget my personal favorite: the ever popular, "Blame-others-to-get-ourself-out-of-trouble", mixed with a side of "Shout-over-others-so-they-can't-speak-or-tell-their-side".

Yes, I've seen them all, more than once.

Which is why, I can safely tell you that the mainstream media, and the Regressive Left (not to mention, a few Conservatives), are in full-on hissy-fit mode over Donald Trump.

I mean, come on... It's been eight months, since the man was fairly elected President. The sky hasn't fallen, we haven't nuked anyone off the planet, and the global temperatures haven't risen. Somehow, we're all still here, and (despite baseless claims to the contrary) the numbers show our economy is improving rapidly.

Look, I get it. He wasn't my first choice either. But, let's get real here...

He hasn't done nearly as bad as most predicted, and has accomplished far more than they give him credit for.

As for all the other "scandals" (mainly, the collusion with Russia during the elections), it's been nearly a year of nonstop "investigations", and still no real evidence. As a matter of fact, all the signs point to his opponents actually violating the law (stealing classified information, and illegally unmasking classified names) to get "proof". Yet, they're still empty handed.

You want to oppose his policies? Fine, disagree with them. Just stop making up crap to pin on him, especially when your side is guilty of the same things, or worse. (I'm talking about you, Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren.) Stop throwing a tantrum like a spoiled two year old in a candy store ( all you "safe space", Regressive college cry babies). And, quit putting your political views ahead of the safety and well being of the nation (Senators John McCain and Chuck Schumer, and the anti-deportation/"Muslim ban" crowd).

We're facing some really tough times ahead, and none were actually caused by Trump. In fact, most are messes left by the previous administration, or even the one before that. The only way we're going to get through them, is to roll up our collective sleeves, swallow a lot of pride, and work together for real solutions.

You don't like what Trump offers? Fine. Listen to his proposals,  then civilly present a realistic idea of your own. Debate (equally and fairly) both sides without all the biased, juvenile nonsense. May the best idea win. That is the only way we're all going to get through these issues.
