Hypocrisy? Double-Standardization?
Accusing a leftist of being a hypocrite is like accusing a meat-eating Texas cattle rancher of being a carnivore. The concerns of bourgeois morality find as little purchase with leftists as the concerns of vegetarians with meat-eaters. A curious 'disconnect' is therefore displayed by earnest Fox commentators who upbraid leftists for their hypocrisy and double…

Nancy Pelosi and the Divine Spark
Donald Trump famously referred to MS-13 gangsters as "animals." That's not the way I would put it inasmuch as it is an insult to animals who, unlike the gangbangers, are beneath good and evil. But Trump talks like a working stiff and we all know what he meant. Pelosi, however, took umbrage, protesting that the…

A Double Standard or an Alinskyite Tactic?
One mistake I have corrected in my own political thinking — thanks in part to Malcolm Pollack and 'Jacques' — is the tendency to confuse the double standard with a hard-Left Alinskyite tactic the name of which, if it has one, I don't know. Suppose you and I are politically opposed but agree on certain…

‘Liberal’ Immigration Hyper-Hypocrisy
You may remember Trump Labor Secretary nominee Anthony Puzder who came under fire for having employed an illegal immigrant as a housekeeper. But why should 'liberals' care given that they do not distinguish legal from illegal immigrants while standing for open borders and sanctuary jurisdictions in defiance of the rule of law? Suddenly, these destructive…

Trump, Adultery, Morality, and the Alinskyite Left
There is no wisdom on the Left and no common sense. Dennis Prager is a prominent purveyor of common sense. So if you don't know what it is you can learn it from him. Here is a sample: It should be clear that this whole preoccupation with Trump’s past sex life has nothing to do…

‘Liberals’ Lack Standards
And when they have them they tend to be double standards. Related articles Gasthaus Blut und Boden John D. Caputo's Truth Problem Is Reason a White Male Euro-Christian Construct?

Trump’s Comments: The Latest Left-Wing Hysteria
Dennis Prager: We are regularly forced to endure a new left-wing manufactured, media-supercharged hysteria. The latest is the tsunami of horror in reaction to Donald Trump's gross and juvenile comments made in private 11 years ago. The tsunami of condemnation of his remarks is quintessential left-wing hysteria. That more than a few Republicans and conservatives…

Why No Calls For Hillary to Withdraw?
Talk about a double standard! We've known all along that Trump is crude and Clintonian in his sexual appetite, although not as bad as Bill in terms of deeds; but the Wikileaks data dump brought something new and objectively far more important to our attention. It is another revelation of Hillary's greed, mendacity, secretiveness,…

Appeasement and a Double Standard
Just as we ought not tolerate intolerance, especially the murderous intolerance of radical Muslims, we ought not try to appease the intolerant. Appeasement is never the way to genuine peace. The New York Time's call for Benedict XVI to apologize for quoting the remarks of a Byzantine emperor is a particularly abject example of appeasement. This…

Islamic Terror and Collective Guilt
Spencer Case concludes: If white moderates deserve blame for their inaction against Jim Crow, then perhaps moderate Muslims today can be faulted for failing to combat a culture of jihad. I would add, however, that while Jim Crow has been eliminated, the same cannot be said for the culture of jihad. I should think that…

Fascists of the Left Against Free Speech
It is standard operating procedure for leftists to shout down their opponents, throw pies in their faces, and otherwise disrupt their events. Thuggery is a leftist trademark. But when there is the least bit of push-back, these contemptible cry bullies shout 'fascism'! The double standard once again. Free speech for me, but not for…

Rabid Dogs, Syrian Terrorists, and Ben Carson
Dr. Ben Carson, the pediatric neurosurgeon who is running for president, is now in trouble with the politically correct for referring to Syrian terrorists as rabid dogs. The comparison is perfectly apt, and only a fool or a liberal could take offense at it. A Syrian terrorist is not 'rabid' in that he is Syrian;…

Gasthaus Blut und Boden
Imagine a German restaurant so named. Blood and Soil. My astute readers needn't be reminded of the provenience of this phrase. "Best blood sausage in the East Valley!" Or MOM's Diner of Mesa. "Fine Aryan cuisine served up right by members of the militia of Montana." Would you be offended? I just made up those…

Flag Burning, Muhammad Mockery, and a Double Standard
If a coalition of what some leftists call knuckle-draggers (including rednecks, bigoted white working stiffs, those who "cling to their guns and Bibles," in the derisive words of Obama) were to slaughter flag burners, the leftists would howl in protest, pointing out (rightly) that flag burning counts as protected speech in these United States. They…
