The Comey Firing Condundrum: Does Anyone Care about Liberal Hypocrisy?

If it wasn’t for double standards Democrats would have no standards at all.

In the wake of this week's firing of Fed Head James Comey, were any of us surprised that Liberal Democrats who had been screaming for his head on platter turned 180 degrees in milliseconds and are now bewailing him as the greatest martyr since Joan of Arc?

If you look up “Hypocrisy” in the dictionary, do you see a picture of Chuck Schumer? (Surrounded by Nancy Pelosi, Anderson Cooper, and Chris Mathews, all trying to squeeze in, too).

But then again - why should we be surprised? 

I mean really. Aren't you getting kinda tired of watching Republicans act like Charlie Brown - eternally hopeful of successfully kicking the political football when they hear Lucy (the Dems) say one thing, like, "James Comey cost Hillary the election. He needs to be fired!" And then when Repubs go along with it - Trump fires Comey. They scream “No! That’s not what we meant, he’s really wonderful!”

Now perhaps there may be some conservative or Republican that’s been locked in an underground bomb shelter for the past twenty years and is thus unaware that the DNC and their network media surrogates operate with open and shameless hypocrisy. If so, then they shouldn’t be allowed to operate heavy machinery or run with sharp objects.

But the real problem is that increasingly we have a political divide so wide that it is difficult to find any reasonable common ground upon which Republicans and Democrats can meet.

And even more worrisome is the growing evidence that conservatives (not always necessarily Republicans) will be unable find any rational common ground to share beliefs with liberal/progressives, who are sometimes Democrats but increasingly some self-styled form of socialist oligarchy.

And the main point that both conservatives and Republicans must remember going forward is that the one thing that unites both Democrats and their uneasy socialist/elitist alliance is a cynical certainty that with the network news establishment acting as card-carrying members of the DNC, they will never need to worry about being consistent, honest or even logical.

So using the Comey flap as just the latest example of Democrat/national news media hypocrisy, isn’t it time the Charlie Brown congressional Republicans stop being surprised when the Lucy Dems pull the football away? 

Just like it should be glaringly obvious to anyone with a modicum of common sense that there is nothing that Trump can do, short of resigning and appointing Hillary as president, it should be likewise apparent to Republicans that there is no compromise they can ever agree to with Democrats that will keep them from pulling away the football at the last moment. 

So then we should give Republicans the same advice you would give to the constantly flummoxed Charlie Brown:  Just pick up the damn ball and run with it!
