This is the world we live in. A democrat says something nice about a person and has to apologize.
I just noticed that Meadows was full of contrition for saying that Obama should go back home to Kenya.
A democrat can say the vilest things ever heard about Trump and he is quoted and highlighted in the news as a truth teller.
A Republican like Meadows can dare to raise his eyes and quote Michelle Obama about Obama’s “home country” and immediately disowns his statement.
Republicans are so pathetic. That is because Republicans are gutless.
Even Jim Jordan will delineate corruption and sedition in the DOJ and conclude it is “troubling” or “wrong” or some other mild-mannered word, but never thunder what it really is.
The New Deal, Dean Acheson wrote approvingly in a book called A Democrat Looks At His Party, conceived of the federal government as the whole people organized to do what had to be done. A year later, Mr. (Arthur) Larson wrote A Republican Looks At His Party, and made much the same claim in his book for modern Republicans. The underlying philosophy of the New Republicanism, said Mr. Larson, is that if a job has to be done to meet the needs of the people, and no one else can do it, then it is the proper function of the federal government.So if Republicans in the Eisenhower administration were thinking exactly like communistic FDR Democrats (Acheson was investigated for his ties to the USSR), how much more so today?
Here we have, by prominent spokesmen of both political parties, an unqualified repudiation of the principle of limited government. There is no reference by either of them to the Constitution, or any attempt to define the legitimate functions of government. The government can do whatever needs to be done; note, too, the implicit but necessary assumption that it is the government itself that determines what needs to be done. We must not, I think, underrate the importance of these statements. They reflect the view of a majority of the leaders of one of our parties, and of a strong minority among the leaders of the other, and they propound the first principle of totalitarianism: that the State is competent to do all things and is limited in what it actually does only by the will of those who control the State.

Democrats are LAW-LESS because Republicans are BALL-LESS!
No blowback when Democrats praise and shed tears for Communist despots.
Part of the problem is leadership does not want to address the issues, so the rank and file really cannot do anything.
