CONFIRMED: Study Says Liberals Are Far Less Tolerant Of Other People’s Opinions

CONFIRMED: Study Says Liberals Are Far Less Tolerant Of Other People’s Opinions – American Lookout:
"A new study confirms what ,any conservatives already know.
That liberals are more likely to be intolerant of the views of others.
Any right leaning person with liberal friends of Facebook has probably had experiences which reinforce this.
A new study has confirmed what we all knew but what leftists are loathe to admit – liberals are far more intolerant of other people’s opinions.
A survey by PRRI found that, “Political liberals are far more likely than conservatives to say they removed someone from their social media circle due to what they shared online.”
Nearly a quarter (24%) of Democrats say they blocked, unfriended or unfollowed someone after the presidential election, compared to just 9% of Republicans and 9% of Independents who were triggered to do the same.
Almost three in ten (30%) of Democratic women removed someone from their social network because of their political opinion.
While liberals preach tolerance and diversity until they’re blue in the face, this study once again proves that leftists are completely intolerant when it comes to diversity of opinion.
Conservatives may think liberals have bad ideas but liberals tend to believe conservatives are evil.
That’s part of what makes liberals so intolerant.
They believe they’re morally superior."

Trey Gowdy Kicks Obama Out The Door With Brutal Message About His Presidency, You’ll Love It – Conservative 101

Trey Gowdy Kicks Obama Out The Door With Brutal Message About His Presidency, You’ll Love It – Conservative 101:

"Gowdy recently stood up with a national advocacy group for veterans and brutally criticized lame-duck President Obama for his sickening neglect of the VA healthcare system and for the way Obama’s government retaliated against whistleblowers both within the Internal Revenue Service and the VA.

Said Gowdy, standing shoulder to shoulder with Concerned Veterans for America, “I don’t like bullies. Government against whistleblowers is an unequal fight. Free speech is the ability to speak truth to power without consequences.”"

What One Woman Learned Serving On A Jury With Rex Tillerson

What One Woman Learned Serving On A Jury With Rex Tillerson | The Daily Caller:
"The tall, enigmatic fellow with shocks of white hair and an oil man’s swagger seemed that natural choice for jury foreman, but he told his fellow jurors he wasn’t interested in the spotlight.

He spent lunch breaks thumbing through the newspaper and trading pleasantries with other jurors, while a strapping man with an ear piece looked on. It was several coy answers and many Google searches before anyone learned he was Rex Tillerson, CEO of ExxonMobil, now President-elect Donald Trump’s choice to serve as secretary of State.

Emily Roden, a small business owner in Denton, Texas, served on a jury in Denton County with Tillerson nine years ago, and recounted the experience for The Dallas Morning News.

The case concerned a young girl who accused her mother’s boyfriend of sexual assault. Roden describes the girl as “scared and deeply wounded,” who relied on a local nonprofit for emotional support and legal aid throughout the ordeal. 
Though a comfortable majority of the jurors were convinced of the defendant’s guilt by the time the jury began deliberating, the defense had sown the seeds of reasonable doubt among a few holdouts. A hung jury was well within the realm of possibility. That, Roden writes, is when Tillerson made his appeal. She says:

That’s when Tillerson began to speak. Humbly, delicately and without an ounce of condescension toward those who disagreed, he began walking us all through the details of the case. I even recall being moved by his thorough explanation about the nature of doubt and the standards set forth by our justice system.

With great patience, this man who strikes multibillion-dollar deals with foreign heads of state brought our scrappy jury together — to bring a sexual predator to justice and to deliver justice for a scared and deeply wounded little girl.

After the guilty verdict was delivered, Tillerson, at Roden’s urging, made a “generous donation” to the nonprofit that counseled the victim through her recovery process and the trial..."

A good man.

Politico: Clinton Team Was In Contact With Electors Seeking To Block Trump - Matt Vespa:

"First, the Russians didn’t cost Hillary Clinton the election, and a majority of voters don’t believe that hacking tilted the election towards Trump. That shortfall rests with one woman: Hillary Rodham Clinton. If she weren’t such a moron with her email arrangement, like not setting it up in the first place because the State Department would have never signed off on it, then the FBI and Director James Comey wouldn’t have been such a focal point this cycle."

US abandons Israel as UN votes against Israeli settlements, and Trump responds – TheBlaze

US abandons Israel as UN votes against Israeli settlements, and Trump responds – TheBlaze:

"The blame for this is being put on President Barack Obama and his administration, who has been highly critical of Israel in the past. Various heads of organization heads have weighed in on the decision, not just pointing their fingers at Obama, but adding some incredibly harsh words as well."

And they still repayed him with hate and lies-----George W. Bush Never Left Washington Until December 26th For One Incredible Reason

George W. Bush Never Left Washington Until December 26th For One Incredible Reason – American Military News:

"While President Obama has been at his favorite vacation spot in Hawaii for days now, it not always was this way.

In fact, for the 8 years of George W. Bush’s presidency, he never left the D.C. area until the day after Christmas. One year a reporter, the Washington Times’ Joseph Curl, was curious why the President simply stayed at nearby Camp David instead of spending Christmas at his beloved Crawford ranch and asked a White House staffer.

“So all of us can be with our families on Christmas.”

This shook Curl who wasn’t used to this treatment. Additionally, President Bush sent a separate plane to pick up the press corps the day after Christmas so that they could bring their families if they so chose.

This perk no longer exists, meaning if any member of the press or staff wanted to go with family, it would cost over $1000 instead of around $100.

If the press remembers President Bush for nothing else, they will for the tremendous generosity he showed them.

It was in that week each year for the eight years I covered him as a reporter that he gave me a spectacular gift — and he knew it."

Why conservatives could be the biggest winners of the Left’s post-election freak-out

Why conservatives could be the biggest winners of the Left’s post-election freak-out
"...Continuing the trend of the Obama years, Democrats were repudiated at every level at the ballot box. 
Most stingingly, the Left lost the presidency to a figure who offended its sensibilities perhaps more than any other, on the basis of style and rhetoric, in Donald Trump.
Predictably, the Left is apoplectic, reacting emotionally rather than rationally over a defeat that stunned it.
While going through various stages of grieving, what is perhaps most heartening is the fact that the Left has apparently learned nothing. 
In so doing, it risks severely marginalizing itself.
In short, by continuing to call plays from the same playbook, the Left risks doing to itself what Jimmy Carter did against Ronald Reagan in 1980: Turning itself into the “There you go again” party in its myopia.
Whether or not Americans broadly internalized such realities, they did reject what the Left was selling.
...In so doing, the Left apparently overplayed its hand.
As with casting its political foes as racists for decades, it devalued the labels it ascribed.
It showed its inherent biases and double standards.
It protested too much.
...In its words and actions, the Left has shown that it has learned nothing:

• Casting Trump as Hitler while engaging in sickening hagiography for Castro; 
• claiming that the election was lost because of the Russians or fake news stories (rather than as a reaction in part to the false narratives of “real news” sources consisting of sneering progressive elites, or the world the Left has constructed in which there are no truths); and 
• showing an unwillingness to change direction in terms of policy but rather to push further left underscore its sore loserdom, hysteria, and delusion.

...Let us hope that the Left keeps it up.
