Princeton Prof ‘Struck’ by People Questioning Obama’s Russia Sanctions
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/02/2017 9:56:49 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Whatever happened to those ‘Question Authority’ and ‘Dissent is the Highest Form of Patriotism’ bumper stickers that flourished on liberals’ cars during the dark days of George W.’s administration?

Now, in the waning days of a Dem presidency, a touching trust in the judgment of the president is in evidence on the left. On today’s Morning Joe, Prof. Eddie Glaude Jr., chair of Princeton’s African-American studies department, said he is “struck” that anyone would question President Obama’s judgment that sanctions against Russia are warranted. After all, argued Glaude, the president “has sworn to protect this country.”

Obama swore to protect the country, so how can we question his judgment?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Just wondering: Did Obama impose sanctions on China when they hacked the federal government’s personnel system, obtaining personal information on 4 million Americans? Why does the alleged hack of the DNC outweigh that?

No he did not. No sanctions, no public criticism.

The only announced reaction was to offer people who’s personal info had been hacked one year of free credit monitoring.

Yeah but it is okay for Muslims to lie to kafir's or non believers.

"No he did not. No sanctions, no public criticism."

But no one in the media will point that out, or even ask the question. And we are supposed to defer to their "professionalism"!

He must have missed Hillary’s long ago screech about how it wasn’t un-American or un-Patriotic to question politicians - it was out duty....maybe someone should play it for him....

To the Dems it is everything to maintain the charade. That hack exposed their true nature. That is why the messenger must be destroyed. If the messenger cannot be identified the left will make up the boogeyman. It deflects any attention being given the message. Quite telling that none of the info from the DNC hack has been refuted.

“...the president “has sworn to protect this country.””

Actually we don’t know that Obama was sworn-in. Remember how Roberts screwed up the swearing-in ceremony? (IMO it was intentional.) And then Obama had to be sworn-in in private.

All these cry-bullies, leftist lickspittles and intellectually inbred degenerates that’ve become so horribly prevalent in the education industry need to be driven out in a merciless manner if we ever want to have a country worth living in.

Yeah, and look where that got us. BTW, Chicago called and asked us to return their village idiot.

I’d love to see a “study” of how many of these “professors” at our “colleges and universities” still live in their parents’ basements.

Glad I wasn’t in the middle of eating or drinking something when I read this.

“has sworn to protect this country.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Which he has demonstrated by releasing terrorists from Gitmo, arming jihadists in the Middle East and protecting illegal aliens from the laws of the United States.

I was telling a friend the other day that I expect the Dissent is the Highest form of Patriotism to come back out of hiding by January 22.

Watch for them on your favorite Prius, Smartcar and Subaru. All Volvo’s must have an additional COEXIST sticker because Volvo drivers are all rich and can afford more stickers.

The left considers themselves the Final Authority (aka Final Solution, see how that works?)
Therefore, Question Authority is. not. allowed.
