If you were not born on the moon, you know the rest of the headline. I need not repeat it.
From The Washington Post, E.J. Dionne, Jr. has a nice opinion piece about some of the opinions he has received over the last year: What Readers Taught Me.
Good piece. I only have one thing to say about a particular part at the end.
Ah, yes, the president and his people have a lot of enemies out there, but his friends are just as exercised. A reader from San Diego offered a view that was repeated in many forms: “Most liberals and some Democrats hate this president and will do anything to bring him down, including siding with terrorists against the president.”
And here is where I start worrying about our national mood. I don’t mind being assailed myself — even by a theologically minded reader who called me a “badly catechized Catholic.” (Blame me, not the nuns and priests who taught me!) But when big chunks of the country begin to view their political adversaries as something close to traitors, we have arrived at a very dangerous time. For this badly catechized Catholic, it’s a reason to pray hard for something better next year.
When democrats and the moonbats on the left can get away with all of the lies, untruths and traitorous behavior without even being questioned by the MSM - when the media gives more credit to the enemies propaganda and continually releases classified information in an effort to bring down an administration - we have indeed arrived at a very dangerous time.
