For the last few weeks, I have been reading the left wing liberal letters that have been written to The Chronicle about our President Donald Trump. I have tried to stay out of this argument because there are no winners, and the real losers are the American people. After the Oct. 17 edition, I can no longer stand the hypocrisy. The left wants to blame President Trump regardless of which side of the issue he is on.
They blame the president for the situation in Syria. His choice was to go to war against a NATO ally, or remove American troops from harm’s way. The president was elected to protect America and its troops, not Syria. They blame the president for using the term “lynching,” but yet there is ample video evidence that Joe Biden and a half a dozen other Democrats used that same term during the attempted Clinton impeachment, no one complained. As a side note, the connotation of this word came about because southern Democrats were hanging innocent African Americans, as well as white Republications who were trying to help them. The hypocritical liberals also want to impeach President Trump because of his phone call with Ukrainian’s president in which he supposedly threatened to withhold aid if Ukraine did not investigate Hunter Biden. Yet the left completely ignores the video tape where Joe Biden stated with great pride and joy that he told the then Ukrainian president that if they did not fire the prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden, then he would withhold a $1 billion loan.
Finally we get to the State of Israel. The president is criticized because doing more than any president since Harry Truman is not enough. We are told that we all love Israel. However, loving Israel is not enough. Israel is an insurance policy to protect Jews all over the world. If there had been an Israel in 1939, maybe my grandparents, my aunts, my uncles, as well as tens of thousands of other Jews may have not been murdered by the Nazis. We need to support any president who helps strengthen the State of Israel. The liberal left has no problem calling President Trump a Nazi, and his administration the Gestapo. It is obvious to me that these people have no understanding who or what the Nazis were.
My cousin Rabbi Dr. Bernhard Rosenberg is being heavily criticized by people who do not know him or anything about him. Rabbi Rosenberg grew up here in Kansas City. Both of his parents were survivors of Auschwitz Birkenau, and I would venture a guess that he has done more good in the world than all of the left wing hypocrites who wish to defame him.
