To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; (Snip)Through eight years, I accepted the rules of the game. Obama was president. He won fair and square because the Republicans serially put up two milquetoast opponents who were incapable of offering a vision

Nailed it! This is the must-read of them all. I am so sick of the GOP mouthpieces constantly telling us that they're about to do something to bring these leftist criminal cretins to account, and again nothing happens.
There are presently two systems of justice in the U.S. If you are a criminal on the left, you skate. If you're on the right, however, you get destroyed for mere utterances.

Great piece, thought-provoking and I agree 100% with the author. Three years into Trump's presidency and absolutely no arrest, no hanging, no lethal injections, no guillotine, and no public flogging of Doorknob Hussein's minions. Where's Charles Bronson(Death Wish), Bernie Goetz, Jack Ruby or Rambo?!

Absolutely correct, especially when he points out that they continue to do these things and grow more bold because they are NEVER held accountable. They have done terrible things and pay NO price. There is no justice.

Fischer made an observation of Obama that I had made and never expressed to anyone because I felt it was just to petty when there were hundreds of reasons to "hate" Obama. Obama would run down the stairs from the jet without holding onto the railing because it made him look cool. Every time I saw that I hoped for him to fall on his face. This is a great review of reasons to hate.

Sorry to start the day with an understatement, but "WOW". That has to be one of the most intelligent and articulate arguments I have seen in a long time. Dov Fishcher's words are so very close to my belief and experience of how I handled the Obama decade and how I feel about the horrible way this President has been treated. Thank you so much. Everyone should read this article. I will also predict that if Rush Limbaugh is on the air today, it will be a centerpiece of his opening monologue.

I'm right there with him and have been for a long time.
And I'm way past the point where I can say "I don't wish anything bad to happen to anyone."
I do. Big time. Extra-judicially.

Poster #10 stole my thunder: WOW!
An equally blistering corollary could be written for the GOP establishment, for sending their favorite milquetoast candidates into the ring with a vicious, dirty beast. Some of us saw through the sheep's clothing (it was after all terribly misfitted) but we were powerless - at least in the second term - against the swamp and the politicized protectorates, including the DOJ/FBI/CIA/IRS.
A profound thanks to Rabbi Fischer for speaking for our hearts.

Well said. Accurate depiction of the worst of Washington however, Dov's statement concerning Donald Trump's failure to drain the swamp is a bit unfair. Look how many years it took to form that quagmire of misfits, ogres, vipers and pigs. You don't clean that up like Hercules cleaned the Augean Stables. This President is handicapped by his duty to play by the rules whereas the slime in the swamp does what it pleases when it pleases. I too hate Barack Obama and have done so since 2008. His particular brand of leadership is nothing but vile, unlimited slander of others because he has no other abilities.

Dov puts it out there. The deep state protecting itself as it always does. The question of why those on Obie's team have not been indicted and imprisoned should be brought to all Americans in November. Sadly, the swamp hasn't been drained yet. Closing down operations at the various federal departments and re-staffing department leadership is more needed now than ever.

Any reasonable clear thinking American will read this and agree that there are, indeed, two systems of justice in this country. The most unconscionable acts have been committed by craven political hacks and we have seen zero individuals held accountable. It is almost impossible to express my frustration and disappointment in the legal system, our political class and of course, the media. Good men, fine patriots have been destroyed by the most evil lawless nest of vipers posing as a political party and, so far, not a single individual has been held accountable. I appreciate the complexity of a prosecution of this magnitude but to sit and watch the arrogance of these conspirators both in politics and the media is extremely painful. For four years there has been a cabal dedicated to the most unthinkable of crimes in a Representative Republic. The highest ranking members of the political class along with their lackeys in the media have been engaged in a conspiracy to interfere in an election for President and then when that failed moved onto an attempt to unseat a duly elected President and they are still at it.
Americans are ticked and this overblown pandemic has set their teeth on edge. Government has overreached to the point that we are on the verge of rebellion because we see how we are being manipulated by a government that could actually plan a coup d'etat and seemingly get away with it. Many Americans are disgusted with what they are experiencing. Justice is a fragile thing and we are witnessing it being corrupted by the very men and women who have sworn an oath to defend and protect it. The media is, for the most part, worthless because they are so biased and untrustworthy. What frightens most people is that we fear that our system is failing on so many fronts. Justice is questionable and government officials are acting like tyrants. The democrat party has dispatched the most vitriolic disrespectful strategic attacks on this President I have ever witnessed. Now we are learning that they are guilty of the crime that dare not speak its name and still we are in a holding pattern years later. I am far from a legal scholar but we all have heard that justice delayed is justice denied. While the democrats and the media have had a field day accusing this President of crimes he did not commit, actually championing an impeachment that failed, and still offering nothing but attack after attack, Justice was promised but never delivered for years. I can’t speak for anyone else but I am disgusted. While I do see some progress, I am so disappointed that years have passed and the President has had to fight this battle with very few fellow warriors by his side. Democrats attack day in and day out knowing he was innocent. Shame on the Republicans who were no where to be found when support would have meant so much. The American people want justice period regardless of the status or position that the conspirators hold. Vengeance we will leave to God, but the Republic will not survive without justice and it cannot come quickly enough.

Great article ...but...there's ONE thing the article does not mention...that really bugs me -
I HATE listening to morons - who have never accomplished 1/1000 the of what Donald Trump has accomplished - dare to call him "stupid"...??!!
I usually call them out - Ask them to tell me something/ anything they have accomplished that is impressive ...??....and ...What has he done that has negatively impacted YOUR life ..??.... you know the responses of course - nothing.
Their mindless hatred makes me HATE them. But then I remind myself - Millions of average, otherwise decent, Germans learned to really hate Jews in the the 1930's ...Why??...because of the relentless garbage fed to them by the dishonest media working in conjunction with one political party.
The U.S. media should be ashamed of itself...but we ALL know...libs have no shame

Anyone has turned their attention to American politics with an open mind in the last 30 years will have, at some point, reached the conclusion that you cannot simply abide and peaceably coexist with Democrats. They are an invasive species in the body politic that will destroy America, if they have not already done so.
My personal epiphany came when I read reports of Republicans being chased from restaurants. Hopefully, the Flynn matter will do the same for others.
Never forgive. Never forget.

Amen. I think part of the problem is that conservatives are conservative. They stop short of the evil actions that the left routinely perform. It is against all of their principles but it also offends their personal sensibilities. One simply does not do such things because they are evil and wrong and ungentlemanly, plus (for example) it would be shameful to be exposed as a complete and utter liar like their paragon, Obama. And so, the left and their media allies continue to lie and to perpetrate evil and they do it without shame because the ends which they believe to be noble justify any actions whatsoever--any actions whatsoever--no matter how ignoble. Dov Fischer has encapsulated the feelings of many, but he has not offered us a plan of action. Is our only recourse to stoop as low as our adversaries? Certainly the stakes are high--the survival of our country--but how low do we have to go to preserve it? Or is there another course--the relentless legal opposition to all that they stand for and all that they do. This is why they hate Trump and this is why they hate Richard Grenell. These men have the stones to do the right thing--to seek justice though the heavens might fall. We need to seek candidates with endless courage--real warriors--because we are at war and the democrats are relentless and without scruple or any hint of a moral compass. We need Pattons, not Rinos, and we need a lot of them. McConnell's endless dedication to appoint a conservative, originalist judiciary is a prime example of what we need. Those who would destroy our country must be crushed. Legally.

Wonderful piece..... I would argue that Hussein did not win "fair and square", though. The fix was in for him from Day One.
I still feel that justice will come for these criminals. I choose to stay positive about that. They are panicked right now because they know that something bad is coming their way. At some point Nancy will be dining on ice cream churned in the local Gitmo Dairy.

Excellent article. Best I’ve read in a long time. Don’t just read it. Print it. Save it. Share it with others. Highlight the passages that mean the most to you. Send copies to your elected officials, if you think that would help. Please do not let the Rabbi’s insightful words become “yesterday’s news.”
Even though Hate is a strong word, it is sometimes necessary to clearly identify that which we truly detest. We hate Evil. We hate the evil that has permeated our media, infiltrated our justice system, and tainted the very essence of our beloved country.

Wow: a brilliant summation of what is so frustrating to many Americans.
An addendum to his comments about republicans who posture on exacting justice: Tucker had Trey Gowdy on last night and asked why the repubs in Congress failed to put the kibosh on the lies and sedition of the dems like Schiff, et al. Gowdy’s disappointing answer was exactly what we have grown to expect from this swamp called Washington. It is indeed a time to hate.

Fantastic reading. During the reign of terror of the stair stepping squirrel pawed Obama light in the loafers I was like rabbi Fischer I accepted the loss to democrats but didn't view jug ears as my president. I sat silent and hoped he would make it to the end of his reign and leave. If any harm had come to the Kenyan king I don't think I could have survived every mountain, highway, building, park or outhouse with his name on it. Yes the Rabbi is right it's a time to hate.

We must ok forward and stop voter fraud by ballot harvesting. Place all our chips in support of President Trump, our only American hope. Looking back, should have never accepted Baraque, Holder, Susan Rice, and others as reparations for the color of their skin. Democrats only brought more racial hatred.

I pretty much agree with everything the good Rabbi says and most of these posts.
I differ only in not having the complete feeling of helplessness.
I never expected the Dems to support Trump in any way ... just like I didn't support Obummer. However, the big difference is that I never thought they'd throw Trump down a staircase with his hands tied behind his back and then throw banana peels and oil under his feet when he tried to get back up! I, too was willing to wait out The One. They will next try to assassinate Trump. There's nothing left.
The Dems have declared war on Trump and his voters ... half the country ... and I truly understand my threat and my enemy. I take them at their words that they hate me and their actions that they want me to die.
But I will fight back and never ... I said "NEVER!" ... vote Democrat again. For any position. From POTUS down to mouse trap setter and stray dog catcher I will now vote straight Republican. Forever. And I don't care if I never heard of the candidate or if he/she is a broken down drunk and petty criminal. You're not a Dem ... and that's good enough. For now. I will also donate as much money as I can afford to Republican candidates locally and nationally.
I am not helpless nor unwilling to fight. And when I'm out of ammo, I'll use my rifle as a baseball bat! But I won't surrender!

Agree 100% with Fischer. I also agree with the poster who observed that Fischer offers no plan of action--unfortunately. I am SO weary of hearing Lindsey Graham, Trey Goudy, and others of the same ilk speak fire and brimstone against the evil left, but doing nothing about it. I see a couple of obstacles to obtaining justice:
1. The DOJ is filled to overflowing with leftist attorneys. Sessions was clearly no match for them. Barr is worlds better, and I hope and pray that the Durham investigation produces numerous indictments against the perps behind the Russian collusion hoax. Comey of all people needs to sit behind bars for five to ten years at least. But if the DOJ is filled with leftist lawyers, honest brokers like Devin Nunez can make all the criminal referrals in the world, and the DOJ won't follow up. Barr must do SOMETHING to end this leftist obstruction within the DOJ.
2. One reason little is accomplished in prosecuting evil criminals of the swamp is that, by law, jurisdiction for crimes committed in Washington D.C. rests in the federal district courts of Washington. Good luck finding a neutral jury willing to convict leftist political criminals in that nest of vipers. Barr and the entire legislative branch need to find some way to permit these crimes to be prosecuted outside of Washington. For starters, it would also help if Trump could move more of the swampy bureaucracy out of Washington. The entire Department of Agriculture should be moved to the Midwest. The entire Department of the Interior should be moved to the Mountain West. Department of Energy should be moved to Texas-Oklahoma. EPA should likewise be moved to a neutral or conservative state.

The author is right on.
A line has been crossed. The criminals have crashed the world economy. If they cannot have it, nobody can have it. I don't hate. Hatred is blind. The criminals hate. They are blindly lashing out hurting everyone around them, and they don't care who they hurt. I view this as a home invasion perpetrated by armed criminals. It is high time people realize what they are facing. Now is a time to protect yourself. Don't count on anyone else to protect you. Our government is showing its true colors taking away our rights. The government and their media lackeys created a panic to control people. Our government tells us what we can do and when we can do it. All in the name of 'public safety'. Nobody in government questioned it. These jerks tell us to stay at home, and tell us we cannot work, but they still want our money. Things don't work that way, and they know it. These jerks want to be in power, and they will destroy everything around them to maintain power. They are destroyers, but also want to be King. They would be Kings over peasants living in a garbage dump. They are ok with this as long as they have all the power and wealth. The democrats are all in on this. So are many Republicans. The Republicans are doing what they do best. Following someone else's lead. My biggest concern is that they flipped Trump. I truly hope not, but he jumped on board the CV bandwagon. It would hardly be a surprise considering everything that has been thrown at him.

An excellent article as always, by Rabbi Fischer. But, I have to take some issue with him. These liars and perjurious Democrats don't just skate justice, they are further rewarded financially, career wise and reputation wise. I believe Anita Hill lied at the Clarence Thomas hearings. For her perjury, she became a millionaire with her books and speaking gigs. The same is happening to Ballsy Ford. Both are considered heroines of the woman's movement. Ted Kennedy tried to destroy not only Judge Bork but also Clarence Thomas. His disgusting sexual assaults were numerous and known to all. Bordering on treason, Kennedy made secret overtures to the Soviets in order to try to derail Ronald Reagans election. And we all know about Chappaquiddick. For his actions he was known as "The Lion of the Senate" where he served from 1962 until his death in 2009.
I could go on with many more examples. The US system of justice has become so warped, primarily because of a corrupt and yes, treasonous media, that crimes and immoral actions by Democrats when taken against Republicans or everyday Americans catapult the agressors to stardom. We can only pray that the new media and social media can some how breakthrough the barrier that is this corrupt and still overly influential corrupt main steam media.

Great article. It sums up Obama’s presidency, but I must say I never voted for him or accepted him as president and thought his second term questionable. I thought he should have been impeached, but we all know why that never happened. Now that he is no longer president we can look back and reflect on the consequences of those 8 long years. President Trump deserves to be called POTUS and Melanie First Lady. They are working hard for the American people, regardless of political affiliation. The President still has much to do to clean up this country. MAGA 2020

This is one of the best articles I´ve read in a very long time. This is a time to hate, as loathesome as that sounds. In general we conservatives are not haters, but eventually there comes a time when we have no other choice.
Our nation´s very survival depends on us hating what is being done to our wonderful America, and on hating those who are doing the Devil´s work. I hate corruption as much as I hate corrupt people. None of this "hate the sin, love the sinner" business. I hate corrupt liars and schemers!
