The name-calling and identity politics that passes for
truth and reason in the Democrat Party is not only directed at competitors
outside the Party. Recently a Hillary supporter called Bernie Sanders a sexist
because he would not drop out of the race for the Democrat candidacy for
president. So much for traditional campaigning in an effort to persuade the
public that your candidate is the better one and that his/her ideas are the
best ideas. Now the Democrat establishment candidate (Hillary) is calling the
Democrat anti-establishment candidate (Bernie) the same names that they typically
reserved for Republicans.
Using the edgy logic that Democrats are known for,
couldn’t Hillary be called an age-ist for wanting the 74 year old Sanders out
of the race, and why isn’t she called anti-Jewish for denying the Jewish Sanders
the historic event of being the first Jewish presidential candidate?
I guess liberals think historical precedent is of
value only when they choose to relate politics to race and sex, but not when
religion or age are the topics. Actually, when considered historically, the 40
years that the Israelites wandered aimlessly in the wilderness is a larger
point to consider than the race or sex of otherwise wealthy, comfortable people
like Obama or Hillary. Our Bernie overcame the trials of his forebears and is
still active in the game. Maybe he should be the Democrat standard-bearer and
not the spoiled, political opportunist, Hillary, who is being investigated by
the FBI for multiple legal issues.
