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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
As I recall, pbrower has condemned violent Communist regimes on numerous occasions in these forums.
The problem is, anytime anyone advocates any kind of government regulation of business and finance, or measures to help workers or the poor, the raving right screams "Commie!"
Oh really? Has he condemned Bernie Sanders?
I voted for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 primaries.
I was tempted to vote for Kasich out of a dread of Demagogue Don until I recognized the futility of doing so.
Demagogues, Left or Right, are similarly objectionable. All that I could see in Trump was an ominous quality of his style of governing. I regret to say that this President achieves my fears and nothing else.
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.
