Shorter Liberals: Militarizing the Border is Bad When Trump Does It and Good When Biden Does It
BY ERIK LOOMIS / ON JUNE 10, 2024 / AT 8:21 AM / IN GENERAL999 VIEWS

I hate hacks. I hate them with the heat of a 1,000 suns. Unfortunately, as the comment thread on immigration demonstrated the other day, there are a lot of people who comment here who are fine with anything so long as Joe Biden does it, even if they criticized the very same thing when Donald Trump does it.

Well, Nic Kristof is nothing if not a hack and his defense of Biden’s actions is pure, 100% hackwork.

Many of us liberals now find ourselves in an awkward spot on immigration.

For years we have denounced draconian steps by Republicans to bar desperate migrants. But President Biden has now introduced his own tough steps to reduce asylum seekers, not so different from President Donald Trump’s approach.

The new measures may be overturned by the courts, but in the meantime many on the left are whacking Biden. Senator Alex Padilla, a California Democrat, twisted the knife by suggesting that Biden was borrowing from Trump’s playbook: “By reviving Trump’s asylum ban, President Biden has undermined American values.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It's the same with taller ones!

Limousine Liberalism is built upon hypocrisy.  They like to think that they are principled, but they are not.  Like every other covetus revolutionary theory, "the ends justify the means" and "by means necessary" are their true values.

Dems will temporarily embrace "compromise" and "bi-partisanship" to stay in power.  Once power has been secured, they will go back to their old ways of screwing Americans.

Trump took border policy too far when he separated children from their parents.
"Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it’s entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." - Alan Simpson, Frontline Video Interview
