Try thinking like a liberal you might be enlightened The San Luis Obispo Tribune In his letter of June 29, Ed Bogusch wonders what it would be like to be a liberal. Contrary to his assumption, liberals are hardly spongers. The vast majority of them are highly educated and include scientists, academics, lawyers, educators ...

Anti-Trump passion will tempt liberals to make excuses for radical craziness, just as many mainstream Republicans have tolerated Trumps lies, insults and attacks.

The Trumpist right, with its conspiracy theories, racist demagoguery and blatant lies, should embarrass honest conservatives and responsible Republicans. There also is a loony left, which though less pervasive and powerful, needs to be condemned by liberals.

Its theories excuse efforts to suppress speech by conservatives, especially on college campuses. Its attacks on Trump go well beyond acceptable criticism think of comedian Kathy Griffins video with a severed Trump head. Its activists, who include some elected officials, call for impeachment of the president before taking the trouble to build a constitutionally persuasive case.

Consider Tim Canova, a law professor at Nova University in Florida, who is waging a Democratic Party primary battle against Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz. He has suggested that a young Democratic staffer may have been murdered last year because the staffer, not Russian hackers, leaked the damaging information from the partys national committee that sabotaged Hillary Clintons presidential campaign. Hes downplayed the conclusion of U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia meddled in the presidential election, and questions whether he is being hacked by political opponents.

Canova was embraced last year by Sen. Bernie Sanders out of resentment against Wasserman Schultz who, as Democratic chair in 2016, sought to tilt the party machinery in favor of Clinton. Canova ran a strong race, raising tons of money, but lost. Sanders seems to be staying away from the current challenge.

In the Atlantic last week, McKay Coppins reported on leftist conspiracy theorists like the Palmer Report, a blog that focuses on Russia. It reported in April that Representative Jason Chaffetz of Utah was resigning because of Russian blackmail. The whole story was nonsense.

Sites like this, Coppins wrote, embrace a world where it is acceptable to allege that hundreds of American politicians, journalists and government official are actually secret Russian agents.

Someone check Sen. Joseph McCarthys gravesite.

The far left is divided on Russia and its thuggish leader Vladimir Putin. Many progressives are harshly critical, driven by their hostility to Trump and eager to believe that there are Trump ties to Putin.

But there is another element too. At the Moscow feast in December 2015, where Trumps foreign policy adviser Michael Flynn sat next to Putin, another Western politician at the head table was Jill Stein, the two-time Green Party presidential candidate. (She said she didnt even say hello to the Russian leader.)

Canovas most offensive gambit has been recycling a baseless right-wing conspiracy theory that a young Democratic staffer, Seth Rich, was murdered last year because he leaked the party emails in the presidential election. This was a charge leveled by Alex Jones, the conspiracy-minded talk-radio host, and picked up by former House Speaker and present Trump confidant Newt Gingrich. The police found that Rich was murdered after a botched robbery attempt. Fox News retracted its own twisted story on the Rich killing.

Not Canova. Asked by the Florida Sun Sentinel and Miami Herald whether Richs murder may have been related to the leaks, Canova replied: I have no idea. I wondered what the DNC under Wasserman Schultz was capable of, but I dont know.

Calls to the number listed on his campaign website and messages to the designated email site went unanswered.

If this were a unique case, it would be enough to criticize Canova and move on. But anti-Trump passion will tempt liberals to make excuses for radical craziness, just as many mainstream Republicans have tolerated Trumps lies, insults and attacks. To keep the high ground, liberals should resist the urge to whip up hostility and should condemn hatemongers of the left.

Let me throw down this marker: The West is superior to the rest of the world in every significant way, we should aggressively back our allies over our enemies, and the guiding principle of our foreign policy should always be Americas interests. No apologies. No equivocation. No doubt.

What are your questions?

Well, if you're a normal American, you won't have any questions - these truths are self-evident. But if you're a progressive, you're gonna have a little sissy snit fit like so many libs did in the wake of the Presidents triumphant Warsaw speech. Theres one thing that always sets them off - uttering the truth/heresy that not only is Western civilization the best and most advanced culture in the history of humanity, but the United States of America is its greatest manifestation.

The immigrants and refugees get it. Which way are they always headed? North, to the comparative paradise of the Western world, or south, to the hellscape of the Third World? That's a gimme. They are never headed south, and everyone knows it. Yet the left still insists that we stop believing our lying eyes and start believing the liberal Fifth Column of multicultural liars infesting Americas alleged elite.

Except our eyes arent lying, and now we have a President who wont lie either. It makes them nuts.

Can you imagine Felonia von Pantsuit uttering the glorious words our Commander-In-Chief spoke to our steadfast, loyal Polish brothers-in-arms? No, she would have continued Obamas despicable sellout of these sturdy heroes, leaving them to the mercy of her reset buddy Vlad.

I served with the Poles overseas. To get those hardcore boys cheering, you gotta bring your A game. They cheered Trump. And naturally the libs lost their collective mind.

Glorious.

So, while Trump was reciting manifest truths like the fact that Western civilization is the height of human achievement and worth fighting and dying for, the liberals were their own usual enemy-hugging selves - lying and distracting. How dare Americas President stick up for America!

One of CNNs femboys was squeeing like a tween about somebody not shaking Trumps hand, and if channeling the worlds least hot mean girl wasnt enough, he even botched the story - there was no handshake diss. On the upside, this massive humiliation was the least embarrassing thing that has happened to CNN during the last two weeks.

Back home, everyone's favorite Islamic radical apologist and Democrat idol Linda Sansour was flapping her lie hole again, this time declaring that #TheResistance was part and parcel of jihad. Thats sort of true, since jihad and liberalism share in common the fact that they are both practiced by cowardly buffoons who hate normal Americans. One murders its victims itself, while the other outsources to the media the programming of half-wit Maddow fans to try - ineptly - to do their murdering for them.

This Sansour idiot symbolizes much of why liberalism is a total failure, rejected by all who are decent and normal. Leftists, especially liberal feminists, drool over her hatred of normal women who don't buy into her evil ideology. She is the perfect heroine for a progressive movement that is based solely on self-loathing and a desire to destroy the very culture that allowed its practitioners to be such frivolous clowns in the first place.

Its their daddy issues playing out on a cultural scale. These liberal scumbags arent worthy of respect, and because they dont get any from us normals, they want revenge - or at least to be noticed by the patriarchy that rejects them. Its like some spoiled rich girl who tries to get attention by promising to act out when ignored.

Ill show you, Daddy! Im going to go to college, shave my head, get a big tattoo, and experiment in unsexy lesbianism!

Except here, progressives are playing out their weird psychodrama on a national scale. Liberals especially love Sansour because they think that by sucking up to her they can stick it to the man while avoiding any accountability she can spit the contempt they feel but can't publicly express without completely destroying what little credibility they have left with the normals.

But the problem for what the President accurately labels the haters is that the mainstream media has failed in its gatekeeper gambit and cant suppress the truth any longer. That clip of Jihadi Jane is all over social media, and in 2018 and 2020 we will see plenty of her in ads attacking the liberal candidates who sucked up to her. And they'll be other dirtbag pinko celebrities in those ads, like that cop-killing Puerto Rican terrorist the Democrats in New York were sniffing around. Liberals always get supersensitive when conservatives point out their treachery and lack of patriotism. They dont get mad because the charges are false; they get furious because the charges are true and that they're being exposed.

That's why they hated Donald Trumps stirring defense of Western civilization and of the United States. They hate America, and what it stands for. Just ask them. They'll often drop their weasel words and hedging to tell you so explicitly, assuming they think no one normal is listening. Their hero Barack Obama said as much in so many words between his fits of babbling apologies to scummy foreigners. He wanted to fundamentally transform the United States of America into something else, most likely some commie dystopia that would make Venezuela shudder and declare war on its own people, which means normal patriots like us. Normals instinctively understand that no one wants to fundamentally transform something he loves.

Perhaps thats Trumps greatest sin in the eyes of the left. He actually loves the United States, and acts like it.

Arrested Protester: Liberals 'Are Going To Get Better Aim' - CNS News - CNSNews.com

Justice Neil Gorsuch's first months at the Supreme Court have rattled left-leaning legal experts enough that they have begun questioning the wisdom of blocking Judge Robert Bork's high court nomination 30 years ago.

After Justice Lewis Powell retired in June 1987, President Ronald Reagan tapped Bork from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals one month later to serve as Powell's replacement. Under heavy pressure from liberal groups and Democratic senators, Bork's nomination failed in the Senate.

Three decades later, Senate Republicans refused to hold a hearing or vote on former President Barack Obama's selection to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia, Judge Merrick Garland. The move paid off, as the November 2016 electoral victories made it possible for President Trump to fill the vacant seat with Gorsuch.

At a review of the Supreme Court's most recent term, New York University Law School's Thane Rosenbaum asked his panelists, who Rosenbaum characterized as leaning left, if Democrats ought to regret the Bork battle.

CNN legal analyst Joan Biskupic said she did not believe Democrats would regret denying Bork and deflected her answer to how Republicans have proceeded in recent Supreme Court fights.

NYU Law School professor Kenji Yoshino provided a much more forceful statement of support for rejecting Bork.

"I want to say progressives might regret [blocking Bork], but progressives would be wrong in regretting that," Yoshino said. "Because if you actually trace what happened because Bork went down, then [Judge] Douglas Ginsburg went down, then we got Justice Kennedy.

"We have the luxury as progressives of fighting over Kennedy's vote in all of these cases until now, until he's replaced, in a way that we would not have had the luxury of fighting over Bork's vote with regard to things like same-sex marriage or any number of other issues, abortion, what have you, affirmative action."

But by no means were the liberals onstage happy with the first few months of Gorsuch's jurisprudence or interaction with his colleagues.

"It is remarkable the number of times that this new justice has chosen to write technically unnecessary opinions and then in those opinions sometimes to say things that are remarkable," said Trevor Morrison, an NYU Law professor.

Morrison spoke about how he thought the boldness in Gorsuch's writing would carry more weight after he had more experience on the high court.

Biskupic noted that she also found Gorsuch's tenure at the Supreme Court surprising in some ways.

"I have never in my more than 25 years covering the court seen a justice come on this forcefully in a way that rattles his colleagues," Biskupic said. "If Neil Gorsuch continues to vote and write the way he has just in these short months, he might even be to the right of Antonin Scalia in a couple [of] things so that would obviously tip the balance over that way. And also he's giving kind of camaraderie to two justices who had seemed a little bit marginalized, Justices Alito and Thomas, and he's fortifying them and that's, I think, important, in terms of the balance of power on the court."

Dan Abrams, an MSNBC legal affairs analyst, noted that Gorsuch is doing what he was appointed to do and that the newest justice clearly had the confidence of his convictions. Abrams also said it appeared likely that Trump would be sending reinforcements to the high court before the next presidential election.

"Bottom line, most people think that there'll be, I think if you look at the numbers, that by 2020 President Trump will likely have had two more Supreme Court picks, and two picks that will fundamentally change the court this won't be a Scalia for Gorsuch," Abrams said. "That's pure guesswork, but if you were a gambling person, that's what you would bet. That's the odds-on bet, is that he'll get certainly one, and very likely two."
