But don’t forget, what we’re dealing with, on the big scale of things, is not liberals vs conservatives.
Its deep state vs regular people.
The purpose of the Democrat Party is to elect thieves to public office so that they have access to the public treasuries in order to loot them.
Actually it did reveal sources and methods. The source was a paid political hack and the method was fabrication of a completely fictional story. The thing it damaged wasn't national security but rather Democratic party security and career security of the FBI supervisors who used it to get a FISA warrant.
"Conservative" versus "liberal" always has been a simplistic interpretation of what many used to call a "battle of ideas"!
Yes, there has been a "battle," but on one side were marshaled a vast army of self-described liberal/progressives, not all of them identifying as Democrats, but all devoting their energies and lives to an ideology which required conformity to a set of ideas which are antithetical to the very underlying premises of America's founding and the framing of its limited-government Constitution for a free society.
Stubborn dedication to that Progressive ideology, which overlooked national sovereignty in favor of "globalism," and favored--no, demanded--enlargement of government power rather than the strictly-limited government power enshrined in the Constitution that has dominated American politics for too long.
The battle has now been engaged by a giant and non-conformist figure, writ large on the world stage, who has challenged and threatened the tyrannical demands of Progressivism--demands for tyrannical conformity of thought, expression, along with submission of individual rights, and submission to government elites.
I do hope when Bill Kristol googles his name today, he comes across this article. ;)
You can’t lose what you never had!
