Obvious Truth #32

It seems the entire elitist world is elbowing each other, the meek and the infirmed out of the way in order to be credited with the last word on anything and everything ... even things they know nothing about. -- Anon.

Liberal Privilege

Who can continually invent virtue signals yet call for the death of their opponents, drone on about impeaching them, continually misquote them, cook up cockamamie conspiracy theories about them, tag them with every "ists" there is, stage demonstrations outside their homes without consequences, steal and reveal their financial records, use the power of the government to try to distroy them, decide which laws need to be obeyed, suppress free speech when they feel like it, fulminate violent protests in order to depress dissent, tax and regulate their opponents into submission, encourage illegal voting to stay in power, concoct "legal" ways to launder money, reward bad behavior by voting blocs, paper over sexual crimes by their supporters, broom egregious crimes within their tribe, lie with impunity, openly disparage their country, abet foreign enemies, revel in their own self-importance ... and feel they are forever "entitled?"

Why it's Liberals ... that's who! (You knew it all along')

Split Personality

Peggy Noonan has chiseled another Op-Ed diamond in the Wall Street Journal. It is about the gulf that has arisen between the lofty ideals exhibited by those espousing virtually unlimited Middle-East immigration (Merkel, Obummer, Hellary, Kerry, etc.) and those who actually end up paying the price for those elites' charity -- the middle and lower-class communities who are required to foot the societal adjustments and monetary bills  ... two different and distinct groups ... and never the twain shall meet ... see:  WSJ Op-Ed.

But what struck me about this well-sharpened Occam's Razor was that Ms. Noonan did not see the disconnect between this spot-on observation and why Donald Trump is resonating with so many Americans. Yes, the same Donald Trump for whom her pen pal, Maureen Dowd, fashioned a new excretory organ just a few short days ago in one of her lesser Op-Ed zircons ... see: With Both Barrels.

Does Maureen Dowd's left brain not talk to Peggy Noonan's right brain? Can she not realize that plenty of middle-Americans see in Trump someone who will push back against these globalists, these trade-at-any-cost-ers, these government-knows-best-ers, these open-border-ites, these bleeding-heart progressives? It would have been nice if Ms. Noonan  suddenly had an epiphany contrasting these two opinion editorials ... but she seems too diplomatic to reference Dowd's Trump scatological reforming.

Or maybe her previous Trump hit piece was just because Dowd was off her meds?
