They say they are concerned about the rights of undocumented people
but they didn’t say much when Obama acted as the Deporter-in-Chief. The
so-called Muslim registry of men from 25 countries under the auspices of
the NSEERS program lasted from 2002 to 2011. That is to say during two
years of the Obama administration. They may be concerned about climate
change and Trump’s promise to end America’s participation in the most
recent climate agreement. But that agreement allows for a rise in carbon
production and thus in world temperatures. They would have been smarter
to challenge the phony climate change process itself.
They say they are afraid that Trump will muzzle the press. His
shouting match with network executives should not be a cause for alarm.
Eventually they’ll start saying good things about him so he was foolish
to be so hostile. But he is no more hostile to the rights of the press
than Obama was. When he used the Espionage Act to punish leakers and
whistle blowers many of the now distraught progressives didn’t say much.
