Talk about a double standard!  <\/span><\/p>\n

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, and lust for power.  We get a whiff of her doctrine of 'two truths' one for the insiders, the other for public consumption.  There is her assault on national sovereignty with her call for a borderless world.  This supercilious stealth ideologue who has enriched herself in government 'service' absolutely must be stopped, and there is only one man who can do it.  Jeb! never was up to the job.<\/span><\/p>\n

What's worse, a P-grabber or a gun grabber?  The former operates on occasion and in private in the 'noble' tradition of Jack Kennedy, Ted Kennedy,  and Bill Clinton.   The latter would violate sacred American rights for all and forever.  Don't believe Hillary's lies about supporting the Second Amendment.  She lies whenever it is useful for advancing herself and her destructive agenda.  In that order.<\/span><\/p>\n

And then there is the utter hypocrisy of liberals who, having presided over when not promoting the injection of  moral toxins into our culture, moralize about Trump's admittedly disgusting and puerile locker-room talk.  Heather MacDonald gets it right in Trumped-Up Outrage<\/a>.  As does Margot Anderson who points out<\/a> that Dems have no problem with the objectification of females if they are small enough.  Rebecca Tetti offers<\/a> this important insight:<\/span><\/p>\n

These people who celebrate porn and abortion and make heroic figures out of small-souled, sex-deluded creatures such as Bill Maher and Lena Dunham and Sandra Fluke and lionize sick predator men like the Kennedys and Bill Clinton are not merely being hypocrites or playing politics when they denounce Trump. They are deliberately engaging in The Lie: the corruption of meaning itself. They aren\u2019t outraged because they\u2019re decent. They\u2019re using our decency as a pawn in their quest for political power.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The insight is that the Left uses our decency, which they don't believe in, against us, mendaciously feigning moral outrage at what doesn't outrage them at all.  (Cf. Saul Alinsky's RULE 4: \u201cMake the enemy live up to its own book of rules.\u201d)<\/span><\/p>\n

And then there are the milquetoast pseudo-conservatives who have withdrawn their support from Trump out of fear of losing their position, power, perquisites, and pelf.  That other  'P-word,' to use Megyn Kelly's demure expression, seems rightly applicable to them. The motivations of Senator McCain and the boys are transparent enough.  <\/span><\/p>\n

But enough of this.  For now.<\/span><\/p>\n
