OPINION:
There is a type of political cannibalism going on in the Democratic Party: The “progressive” wing is starting to destroy the stalwarts of that political persuasion, people such as Joe Biden.
Moral superiority has blossomed in the progressive camp to the extent that we get up in the morning asking ourselves not if, but what, we will have to apologize for today. We have transitioned from sexual assault and harassment — real crimes — to making “invasion” of someone’s space an offense that disqualifies us for political service. Soon politicians will be taken to task for reckless eyeballing.
Politically speaking, I am not a fan of Joe Biden, but he seems like a nice man. I am tempted to feel a little sorry for him and the way he’s being hung out to dry by the “new” left — until I remember that he and others in his party have created this political monster that is now eating his lunch. Remember, political correctness can never be satisfied. The more they have, the more they have to have. The newer in the species must consume the older to advance the agenda.
Mr. Biden, to survive, speak up. To the lie of the moral superiority of progressivism, “Say it ain’t so Joe, say it ain’t so.”
