Oh, give me a break. Trump may have bragged about groping a woman,
but you people on the loony left couldn't care less that Bill Clinton
was credibly accused of violently raping at least seven women, and is
a man who gropes, flashes, uses, abuses and rapes every woman in his
life, but that's OK with you, because a Democratic rapist is a GOOD
rapist.
Bill Clinton did far worse than what would now be tolerated. The generational cycle has gone from the relatively-libertarian (at least on lifestyles) Culture Wars to a Crisis Era. I consider it a good thing. I think that young, aspiring, talented people will be wise to marry as early as possible instead of sowing any wild oats. Monogamy is a good thing -- as this 'leftist' states.
Quote:Or that Hillary Clinton spent much of her career bashing and
victimizing her husband's abuse and rape victims, because to a person
on the loony left, any woman who accuses a Democrat of rape is herself
a worthless piece of trash.
She "stood by her man", as was then expected -- and pragmatic. That may have imploded on her in 2016, and upon America. We cast off one rogue to get a far more dangerous rogue -- someone with the emotional maturity of kids who say "double-dog-dare you". Just look at his tweets for the juvenile style of writing, with inappropriate capitalization.
Quote:While we're on the subject, the loony left loves Socialists, even
though Socialists massacred hundreds of millions of people in the last
century, while Nazis massacred tens of millions. But that's OK,
because to the loony left, Socialist violence is GOOD violence.
Social democrats, who have an excellent record on human rights, due process, and political clarity -- or totalitarian Marxist-Leninists? Murder has no political excuse, and the body count discredits Marxism-Leninism, which as badly lacks any good record on civil liberties, political process, or intellectual integrity. Besides, even Hitler wasn't much of a killer until 1938, and he had roughly seven years in which to kill those that he did kill.
All that kept the Ku Klux Klan from murdering on the scale of Nazis, let alone Commies, is that it never got power. (I'm contemplating a novel in which the Klan rules America... but Germany remains Democratic and Japan goes somewhat Democratic. A hint: Chicago becomes the infamously-divided city. Another hint: Japanese propaganda makes much of Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain
which well fits a nocturnal, violent, primitive, and barbarous cause.
Science fiction, category alternative history.
Quote:And let's add James Hoffa inciting violence against Tea Partiers,
Antifa inciting violence against free speech, and BLM inciting
violence against policemen. That violence is also GOOD violence
according to the loony left.
There are loose ends everywhere.
Quote:The right is far more moral than the left because the right is held to
a higher standard. When a person on the right gropes a woman that's a
high crime and misdemeanor. When a person on the left gropes a woman,
that's just fun. Actually, the left is held to no standard at all.
I've often thought that if Obama picked up a gun and shot Michelle,
then the NY Times would blame it on Republicans because of gun
control. Actually, the left have no standards, no morals and no
ethics whatsoever - just like the Iranian clerics.
Donald Trump is no liberal. You can be satisfied that if someone rich in melanin and having gang tattoos who grabs some pretty white girl by her crotch would (unless she consented) get a long prison term. That is sexual assault, and possibly even rape if there is even the slightest penetration. I would vote guilty on such facts. Hypocritical? Racist? I think the circumstances would explain enough.
I gave up on Al Franken once I heard of the multiple (to euphemize) indiscretions. Harvey "Swinestein" was a big donor to liberal causes. Good riddance. John Conyers? Get lost!
The idea that Obama might shoot someone is a bigger fantasy than "Bigfoot", "Sasquatch", or the Loch Ness Monster. He is not a violent person.
Allegedly, Saddam Hussein was a leftist -- but once he gassed the Kurds I made the comment that I wish that he would end up in the clutches of the KGB. Iranian ruling clergy? Fascists.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
