"Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many."
That's a compelling verse – call it a proverb – from the New Testament. It's a great admonition for all of us. It's one the left will pay for not knowing.
During the early days of the Clinton impeachment, then-"journalist" George Stephanopoulos gave an insider threat to the world, clearly from the Clintons. He said that if Republicans continued their attempts against them, the earth would be scorched. If they went down, everyone else would, too.
Here is the exchange, from 1998.
Sam Donaldson: "Are you suggesting for a moment that what they're beginning to say is that if you investigate this too much, we'll put all your dirty linen right on the table? Every member of the Senate? Every member of the press corps?"
George Stephanopoulos: "Absolutely. The president said he would never resign, and I think some around him are willing to take everybody down with him."
It is now safe to say the Democrats have followed that scorched earth promise, that they now fully embrace the Clinton bitterness and corruption. It's beyond anything we have witnessed.
Take a look around. This absurd quest to dehumanize Trump, to form narrative after narrative fabricated on lies to try to destroy him, to destroy his ability to govern, to make him into a criminal, comes from the bitter wells of the Clintons. After all, he ended Hillary's (and Bill's) dream of regaining the Clintons' glory. Make no mistake: the Clintons and their team are ravaging everything in a concerted effort to punish anything or anyone that took them down. Trump is the symbol, but anyone moderate, or right of center, is now the target.

Move along.
We’ve slept since then.
Maybe it’s time for Steffi to get out of “journalism”, move back to his native Astoria, Queens and sell gyros and souvlakis out of a food truck parked under the el on 31 St.
Little greek dwarf alert
Politics were always a little disgusting (remember the Willie Horton ad, the info first being used by Al Gore to try to destroy Michael Dukakis in the Dem primaries?). But the Clintons raised the Politics of Personal Destruction to steroidal heights. And the Dems are fine with such exponentially inflammatory rhetoric, I don’t know if we can ever get back to any political civility. Sickening.
I hope so, but I don't think so. If the press had allowed Clinton to be removed from office, it would've gone a long way to recovering civility.
