Where Are the Decent Liberals?

Ken Blackwell | Posted: Jul 05, 2017 12:01 AM

President Donald Trump’s critics fixate on his tweets and then wonder why he spends so much time responding to their attacks. But why do they devote so much attention to his tweets in the first place? Maybe they realize that many Americans are happy to finally have a president who fights back.

The Left complains about how badly Republicans treated President Bill Clinton. But he disgraced himself in the Oval Office. And as America’s top elected official, he committed the crime of perjury.

Democrats also whine that conservatives said terrible things about President Barack Obama. But just look at his record.

He nationalized health care – a sixth of the economy – and in the process, undermined the greatest medical care system in the world. He sent America into retreat overseas, with disastrous consequences. He used the IRS to harass his critics. He held no one accountable for the murder of Americans in Benghazi. He increased the national debt by $9 trillion. What good was there to say about him?

Finally, the Left is indignant about the horrible treatment—the usual litany of “isms”—shown to Hillary Clinton. Yet her scandals run the gamut from Whitewater and sketchy cattle trades to Benghazi and hidden emails. The shameless type of self-dealing evident with the Clinton Foundation first surfaced with the firing of the White House travel staff when her husband became president. Yet, who but conservatives were willing to point out her misconduct?

Again, dead on.  The rest of this is here:

Ordinary decent people seldom make the 6 O'Clock "News" or major "news"papers' front pages. So whether few or many, their voices are all but silenced.

Given Blackwell's starting point for his article - Clinton's indolence and disgrace, and Obama's arrogant and malicious ineptitude - his article title should have been "Where Are the Honest & Decent Liberals?" Because acknowledging the awfulness that was Clinton and Obama is something many Libs & Progs find difficult to hear and acknowledge.

"Decent Democrats" have become as rare or rarer than "moderate Muslims". 

[Old n Grumpy]

Decent democrats became independents or conservatives.

There are only two who come to mind, Rep. Kucinich and Alan Dershowitz.  Oh, and Harlan Hill, but he heads the Democrats for Trump.  LMAO

Decent liberals are in the middle of the road, flattened into silence by the Prog Bus.
