Way back when, Democrats such as George McGovern opposed wars of choice. And Democrats such as Frank Church exposed the CIA. It later led to an executive order - by President Ronald Reagan, of all people - that banned political assassinations.

A Democratic Congress held impeachment hearings against U.S. President Richard Nixon - partly because he tapped the phones of a few hundred Americans and, in so doing, violated their privacy rights. Back then, millions of liberals marched against the Vietnam War without blinking. It didn't matter a bit that the president at the time was a Democrat.

But look what's going on now.

As I write, we have a so-called liberal president in the White House. Yet he and his Democratic congressional allies aren't fighting the good fight. They're committing the worst crimes of anyone.
