@JonahNRO Quote Of The Day

Posted on | June 9, 2017 | 1 Comment

by Smitty

I’ll link it properly when it’s live on National Review:

Whataboutism is fine if you want to point out double standards. But the trick is to hold onto your standards while you do it. It is otherworldly to celebrate how Donald Trump doesn’t play by the rules while at the same denouncing anyone who doesn’t play by the rules in response. As I’ve written before, when the president of the United States ignores “democratic norms,” it is naïve to expect that everyone else will abide by them. And it is grotesquely hypocritical to defend Trump’s disdain for the rules while demonizing others for far lesser transgressions.

I paraphrased this radically as a haiku:


Trump’s overarching sin is that his “lies” lay bare the frivolousness of our politics:


We seem sick enough on all sides to go cold turkey on fowl leadership; but Trump doesn’t seem the leader to take us further than a soundbite.

(further apologies to Zevon.)

I tinkled with the server
The way I always do
How was I to know
It was with the Russians, too?

I was gambling in Benghazi,
I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns & Comey
Jim, get me out of this, hiyah!

An innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck
between Iraq & a hard place
And I’m down on my luck
Yes, I’m down on my luck
Well, I’m down on my luck

I’m hiding in Honduras
I’m desperate, man
Send lawyers, guns & Zelaya
The Wiener’s hit the fan

Send lawyers, guns & Maddow
Send lawyers, guns & Pelley
Send lawyers, guns & Tapper, hiyah!
Send lawyers, guns & Blitzer, ow

Anti-American Democrats: What the NSA Leaker Has Revealed About the Left

Posted on | June 6, 2017 | Comments Off on Anti-American Democrats: What the NSA Leaker Has Revealed About the Left

If you love America, never doubt that Democrats hate you. During the past half-century, dating back at least to the 1968 election, Democrats have become the anti-American party, fanatically devoted to the destruction of capitalism, Christianity and the Constitution. This historic shift has made Democrats, in effect, opponents of patriotism. “They always blame America first,” as Jeanne Kirkpatrick famously said.

This is what we learn from the NSA leaker:

The 25-year-old woman who stole “Top Secret” documents from the National Security Agency and leaked them to The Intercept appears to be a supporter of Bernie Sanders and other progressive icons, such as Bill Maher and Michael Moore.
Reality Leigh Winner’s apparent social media footprint also shows that she is a supporter of other liberal causes, including the Women’s March and the Islamic Society of North America, the Muslim civil rights group.
She also recently referred to President Trump as a “piece of shit” because of his position on the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) protests.
Winner was indicted in federal court on Monday after she allegedly stole classified documents from her employer, Pluribus International, a defense contractor that does work for the NSA from its offices in Augusta, Ga. . . .
On Feb. 14, a day after Winner took her Top Secret job at Pluribus, Winner posted a photo outside of the Atlanta offices of Georgia Sen. David Perdue.
Winner wrote that she had a 30-minute private meeting with the Republican lawmaker.
She said they discussed “my concerns regarding climate change and what the state of Georgia is doing to reduce dependency on fossil fuels.”
“Meanwhile, my plea that our senators not be afraid to directly state when our president or his cabinet tell outright lies was well heard. I was able to draw the parallel between the 2011 interview of President Bashar al Assad claiming utter ignorance of the human rights violations> his citizens were protesting to Trump’s statement last week that the White House hadn’t received any calls about the DAPL, nor were there any protests before last week. They got the message,” she wrote.
Winner was heavily critical of Trump just after he took office. She used the hashtag “NeverMyPresident” and “Resist” in a Facebook post about his position on DAPL.

You see that she is an across-the-board “progressive” and, as such, is an enemy of everything America is about. She is opposed to American petroleum production — because “climate change” — and is a feminist, but yet is pro-Muslim, despite the pervasive misogyny of Islamic culture.

This kind of reflexive, unthinking, knee-jerk leftism is full of contradictions. It reflects a profound alienation from the mainstream of American life. They lash out at Republicans as symbolic scapegoats who represent, in the leftist mind, everything they hate about our country.
