ROGER SIMON ON HATE IN THE TIME OF TANTRUMS:
If you wander through Facebook—you probably shouldn’t—you will find endless fiftyish women whinging until they expire with the vapors about how their daughters are terrified to go out because Donald Trump was caught bragging about grabbing a woman’s you-know-what. These same women said nary a word when Bill Clinton didn’t brag at all, but stuck an actual cigar in the pudendum of the twenty-two-year old Monica Lewinsky as they stood in a corridor outside the oval office. Nor did these same women so much as utter a peep when Hillary Clinton ludicrously declared her husband’s repulsively macho behavior with a young White House intern to be a result of the “Great Right-Wing Conspiracy.” Well, I suppose if Uri Geller can bend spoons…
And speaking of ludicrous, according to the Daily Mail, New Balance shoe owners are lighting them afire after the company “expressed support” for Donald Trump. Why don’t these great progressives donate the sneaks to the needy? (As always with the DM, do not miss the comments.)
So this is a time to keep cool. The reverberations from that shock of stocks—Donald Trump’s winning the presidency—are probably going to be with us for awhile and may get a lot worse, even turn more violent than they already have been (minor incidents, unless you’re a dog).
Read the whole thing.
