Is The Left Playing With Fire Again?
“To those who lived through that era that tore us apart in the ’60s and ’70s, it is starting to look like “deja vu all over again.”
And as Adlai Stevenson, Bobby Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey did then, Democrats today like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi are pandering to the hell-raisers, hoping to ride their energy to victory.
Democrats would do well to recall what happened the last time they rode the tiger of social revolution.”
“…the intolerant left seems to have melded more broadly and tightly with the Democratic Party of today than half a century ago.”
“But other than despising Trump and his “deplorables,” what great cause unites the left today? Even Democrats confess to not knowing Hillary Clinton’s presidential agenda.”
From those days long ago, there returns to mind the couplet from James Baldwin’s famous book, from which he took his title:
“God gave Noah the rainbow sign/ No more water, the fire next time.”
