The hypocrisy of the progressives and liberals is nothing new.  I’ve been a witness to it most of my life.  I remember the first time I saw a democrat break a promise from a former campaign, tell obvious lies in his then current campaign, and then see people who should know better vote for the man.  Today however I heard three separate things during the day that struck me as funny.
First, with the recent shooting of the reports, the typical knee-jerk reaction of the left is to call for gun control.  More screenings, less guns, less bullets, more drugs for the mentally ill.  I’ve yet to hear a single logical explanation how any law would have prevented this.  This man apparently had no convictions that would have kept him from getting a gun.  He apparently had not been in a hospital and had any health reason to ban him from getting a gun.  There was no history to keep him from purchasing a firearm.  So ban all guns you say?  The man committed murder and suicide, a law banning guns wouldn’t stop him.  He would buy it from a black market.  It may have made things a little harder for him maybe, but the end result would be the same, save for the fact that any law abiding citizen would be left completely defenseless without access to a gun.
Second, a judge declared today that the 4th amendment to the constitution doesn’t matter.  The government can break the laws of the land if it wants and spy on all we the people if it so wants to, and the government really, really wants to.  The people who brought a lawsuit against the NSA for their bulk collection of data were found to have no legal standing because they couldn’t prove that their personal records were in all the other records that the NSA has.  So basically, the NSA is allowed to spy on the people it’s supposed to protect, keep all their information, and we aren’t allowed to object cause we can’t plop the evidence down on that judges desk.  All of this to supposedly protect us from terrorists and radicals.  They’ve been doing a bang up job of that haven’t they.  If you didn’t get the sarcasm, read the previous paragraph again.
Third, I heard Clinton commenting on something Trump said this past week.  Whether we should do any of this or not is not the issue, just on the statements that were made.  So what were these statements?  Trump said that we should deport all of the people that are in this county illegally.  That’s right, he proposed that we follow our own laws.  While I am no Trump fan, the idea of following the law doesn’t seem too foreign to me.  Excuse the pun.  So what was Clinton’s response you ask?   Thanks for asking.  Clinton said that it would be impossible to round up so many people and deport them.  That we can’t send them home.  People are breaking the laws.  They have to be dishonest, cheat, and steal just to remain in the country, yet our government is incapable of finding them and deporting them.  Let that sink in.
Really let that sink in.  The very same people who say they cannot find, much less deport several million people who have committed crimes and are in the process of committing more crimes by being in the county are the same people who tell you that they can protect you from someone who may sometime in the future commit a crime if you’ll just let them take away all your weapons and let them spy on everything you do.  Maybe hypocrisy isn’t the correct word for this sort of behavior.  What is the correct word for someone who lies, threatens, kills, and steals from you for their own gain and power?  Fuhrer perhaps?
