Can’t deny Left’s own intolerance

I just love to read Sid Schwab’s columns, to see what new windmill he is charging in his eternal battle to wipe common sense off the face of the earth and replace it with “Democrat/progressive/liberalism.”

His raging at Trump in the past two columns are wonderful examples of this, and I enjoyed his screeds since he helps me to know that whomever he demonizes is the person for whom we should all vote.

And by the way, suppressing, denying, interrupting, shouting down, rioting, blocking traffic, setting fires, throwing rocks and bottles at the police, and acting like children is mainstream liberalism. Democrats/progressives/liberals really believe that anyone who disagrees with them should not have First Amendment rights. Hopefully, Schwab read Nickolas Kristof’s May 8 column in the New York Times, which documents that this is true. It is labeled “A Confession of Liberal Intolerance.”

It is going to be so satisfying when we all address Donald Trump as “President Trump.”
