CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 24, 2020
THE DEMOCRAT VIRTUAL CONVENTION IS OVER AND TONIGHT REPUBLICANS GET THEIR TURN. IT’S BOUND TO BE A STARK CONTRAST FROM LAST WEEK’S DAILY DOSE OF GLOOM AND DOOM BY ONE DEMOCRAT AFTER ANOTHER. I DIDN’T RECOGNIZE THE COUNTRY I LIVE IN.
ABOUT JOE BIDEN’S SOMEWHAT OPTIMISTIC ACCEPTANCE SPEECH LAST THURSDAY NIGHT, A WALL STREET JOURNAL EDITORIAL SAID THIS: “…THERE (IS) CAUSE TO DOUBT THIS HAPPILY-EVER-AFTER TRUMP SCENARIO – AND THE REASONS INCLUDE THE MAN AND THE TIMES. REGARDING THE MAN, MR. BIDEN HAS NEVER BEEN A POLITICIAN OF STRONG POLITICAL CONVICTIONS. HE’S A PROFESSIONAL PARTISAN DEMOCRAT, WHOSE BELIEFS HAVE SHIFTED AS THEY PARTY’S HAVE.
TAKE ONE ISSUE, ABORTION. FOR YEARS HE OPPOSED FEDERAL FUNDING OF BABY KILLING. NOW HE SUPPORTS IT THAT’S PRETTY FUNDAMENTAL AND HIS POSITION IS OPPOSITE THAT OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, WHICH HE CLAIMS TO BE AT THE CENTER OF HIS LIFE.
DON’T BE FOOLED BY ALL THE TALK ABOUT UNITY. DEMOCRATS DON’T MEAN IT, OTHERWISE THEY WOULD COMPROMISE WITH REPUBLICANS WHOSE FAR MORE INTERESTING CONVENTION BEGINS THIS EVENING. I’M CAL THOMAS.
