Liberal opinions and ‘facts’

2 min read

Here are more outrageous opinions that liberals accept as fact.

* Opinion 1: Trump is a racist who hates all immigrants. Not true. Trump has made it plain that he welcomes legal immigration, with immigrants being properly vetted. He opposes illegals crossing our southern border unchecked.

Liberals apparently can't understand the difference between legal and illegal immigration because they always blur the lines between the two.

* Opinion 2: Trump is a warmonger who wants to build up our military to go to war. Untrue. Trump clearly believes in peace through strength, with a military so strong no other nation will dare attack us.

* Opinion 3: The current good economy under Trump is due to Obama's economic policies finally taking effect. The good economy now is because Trump removed burdensome regulations that Obama imposed on businesses, stifling our economy, and due to the Trump tax cuts.

* Opinion 4: Trump is the most unpopular president ever. False. According to the latest Rasmussen Poll, Trump currently enjoys a 51 percent approval rating. At this stage of his presidency, Obama only had a 46 percent approval rating. Other polls reflect similar results.

This is with the Destroy-Trump media attacking him daily. Imagine Trump's approval rating if he received fair, unbiased coverage from the same news media that always praised Obama.

* Opinion 5: Trump is a liar. Every word out of his mouth is a lie. Not so. Liberals don't like the fact that Trump is keeping his campaign promises. It's refreshing to have a president who keeps his promises.

Remember our previous president's whoppers, like, if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor, or Iran has disposed of all its chemical weapons, etc.?

If lies were music, Obama would be Beethoven.

On another subject, using factual numbers, the FBI-DOJ statistics, not Klarevas figures, the 1994-2004 assault weapons ban was a total failure. Shootings did not decline during the ban or rise when the ban expired. Yet liberals stubbornly insist another assault weapons ban is the best solution.

Liberals know that fortunately a new ban is unlikely unless Democrats regain control of Congress and Trump, the NRA stooge, who is in lockstep with most Americans is no longer president. A good reason why we must elect Republicans this fall and re-elect Trump in 2020.
