❝❝Yeah, the Obama White House ordered wiretaps at Trump Tower. Obama denied direct knowledge, which makes him incredibly incompetent or a liar.

To me, the interesting thing is that most of the mainstream media is willing to ignore things like this so long as it's a Democrat doing it to a Republican. Nothing about the rule of law, nothing about abuse of power. No. It's all about how the Republicans are naturally evil and the Democrats are naturally good. And even when Democrats are caught doing something Terribly Bad, it's because they wanted to prevent Greater Harm. Or They Didn't Mean It. You can trust them. Really.

If the mainstream media spent one tenth the time and effort going after Democrats that they do going after Republicans, the country would be a better place. It's not that all Republicans are bad, it's that the media WILLINGLY overlooks the actions and words of Democrats because they are on the correct side.

So we've moved from it didn't happen to it kinda-sorta-did-happen-but-it-was-justified-under-the-circumstances.

What I brought up is that it happened (established), and that Democrats and the media are willing to overlook it as long as it is a Democrat doing it to a Republican. I don't trust politicos. I don't care who did what. I certainly don't care who is "worse" because both parties are out to screw the average citizen as much as they can get away with.

What annoys me is that Democrats don't get trashed for their behavior while the mere whiff of a rumor of Republican impropriety gets screaming headlines and wall to wall talking heads. Truthfully, that is my major issue with you. You make excuses for the excesses and abuses of Democrats while flinging everything you can against Republicans.

As far as I am concerned, you have no business going after Republicans until you at least acknowledge that Democrats aren't perfect and are just as good at messing things up.

But no one takes libertarians seriously. Especially when we speak the truth.❞❞
