Self-Serving Hypocrisy and Hatred Do Not Serve America Well

There are so many things in the news that reflect the hypocrisy and hatred that run rampant among the Left.  They evidence a concern not for the good of the country, but for their own power.  Here are just a few.

• Sen. Nunes has been forced to step aside from his position as Chair of the House Intelligence Committee’s Russia investigation.  This because the Left has filed several accusations with the Office of Congressional Ethics.  This is essentially another political hit and it is just further evidence that the Democrats are more concerned with attacking anything Republican than in getting to the bottom of the leaks and the possible political spying by the Obama administration.   I really don’t think they want the truth, but only anything upon which to grasp in their unceasing attempts to undermine the Trump administration.

• Earth Day, a day on which people of many diverse views used to come together to celebrate and learn about our earth, is now morphing into the March for Science, a highly political event with the sole purpose of attacking those who do not agree wholeheartedly will each and every one of the movement's positions on global warming and its causes.

• Reports reveal that Elizabeth Warren’s female staffers earn about $20,000 less per year then her male staffers.  This from the progressive senator who claims to advocate for women’s rights. 

• Illegal immigration is down significantly since President Trump took office.  This piece of news is either ignored, or twisted somehow into a racist attack by the administration on minorities.  Actually, it just means that laws are being enforced and that when laws are enforced, fewer tend to attempt to break those laws.  Not really a bad thing. 

• Someone who leans very left recently commented on some of President Trump’s policies and actions that were actually quite positive from that leftist’s perspective: “Not bad at all, these surprisingly functional actions, very encouraging assuming they are true.”  Always a “but” from the Left:  “assuming they are true” as if it is an impossibility that could be so, displaying an extreme hesitancy to accept that Trump could do anything that is not evil or against which they cannot mount an attack.  If the Left would stop their constant attacks and instead objectively look at what the current administration is attempting to do, they might find that there are things with which they actually agree and can support; they might find that they could actually work with other Americans for the good of America.

• The figures vary, but it appears that there will be billions of dollars saved by the roll-back of many of the Obama era regulations.  Many of these regulations are duplicative and therefore unnecessary; others have not served the purposes for which they were enacted; others are examples of government overreach and involve things that are more properly left to state regulation.  There may also be some that arguably should remain.  But to simply blindly and in lock-step attack each and every roll-back reflects not a concern for the country, but only a hatred of the current administration and anything it might do.  It does not reflect a true interest in the good of the country.

This list could go on and on.  I have already, in previous posts, addressed the selfishness of the Democrats in regard to the Gorsuch nomination.  I have addressed the narrow-mindedness and intolerance of many of the identity-based and Democrat-driven groups and movements.  The bottom line is that today’s Democrats have absolutely no interest in working for the good of the country. Their actions reflect only a selfish interest in their own power and a reflexive hatred of all things Trump as well as a need for payback of some sort for the fact that they lost the election to this man who is not like them, but who understands the people they so desperately need to sustain their power. 

This is a sad situation.  It will not change on its own.  The hope for this country is what it always has been: not the politicians but the people.  If the people can stop believing everything they are told, if they can open their eyes, ask questions, look at things with objectivity, then they will demand more of those elected to serve them and this country.  When the people no longer tolerate the self-serving power-hungry politics currently on display 24/7 from the Democrats, then America will be OK.
