We became a nation that persecutes and prosecutes political foes in the most public and propagandous way possible in order for one party to shout down the other. Wrongthink is officially a crime now.

Sure, they'll get you for some other infraction. Sort of like how Al Capone went down for tax evasion and not his other crimes. But make no mistake, if you don't follow the rules, you, too, are guilty of thoughtcrime.

Criticizing presidents and other politicians is what I do and what I should do. In the least biased way possible, holding our politicians accountable for their actions, be they personal bombast or political malfeasance, is the job of the media.

Anyone who has read my website for long knows that I'm no fan of former President Donald Trump. I don't like Biden either, nor Clinton, nor Obama, nor Bush One or Bush Two. I've been heartily disappointed in the actions of all these presidents, and I've never made a secret of it. In fact, I regularly compare our election choices to "Which disease would you rather have?" much to the dismay of certain readers. I've long thought we could do better when it comes to the person who holds the loftiest office in the United States.
