Reacting to Nihilists

In San Francisco rioters have pulled down a statue of General and President Ulysses S. Grant who, working with and following Lincoln, did the most to root out slavery in the nation. These stupid nihilists are latter-day Red Guards, again erasing the “four olds.”

Reacting to this, and much more, Power Line’s John Hinderaker concludes:

Every four years it is said that the current election is the most important one in our lifetimes. This time, it is actually true. Not a single Democratic Party official, to my knowledge, has condemned the anti-American madness that is sweeping across the nation. Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi are fully on board with the extremist elements in their party–I am starting to wonder whether there is any Democratic Party apart from the extremist elements–and the Democrats’ presidential nominee is a senile nonentity who, in office, would be controlled by the radicals. It is absolutely essential to our country’s future that Donald Trump be re-elected.

Analysis: Children’s crusades are the worst. Especially when their elders, who should know better, sign on. Talk about “the madness of crowds.”
