The Left’s Russia Hysteria Is Undermining American Democracy
16th December 2016
RESIST!
That one word has become the favorite slogan of leftists following Donald Trump’s electoral victory, and it has only increased in usage since The Washington Post’s Friday report on CIA claims the Russian hacked emails to help the current president-elect win.
Odd that, during the years when Communism was the Flavor of the Month and the Soviet Union actually represented an existential threat to America, nobody on the American Left thought The Russian Threat was anything more than a fantasy — yet now, when Russia may be an enemy state but certainly isn’t trying to take over America any more, it’s a Big Deal. I wish they would make up their minds.
Of course, the only thing the ‘Russian hack’ did was allow us to peer into the fetid swamp that was the Hillary campaign; that affected the election to the extent that it allowed people to peer behind the curtain at the sausage being made, and for that, if the ‘Russians’ had anything to do with it, they deserve our thanks. But, of course, when it’s the Democrat ox being gored, it’s more important to punish the whistleblower than to fix the problem thus revealed. Edward Snowden, take note.
