Dear Liberals: Stop The ‘Enemies’ Thing By Christopher Chantrill for American Thinker
One helpful thing about our liberal friends is that they always signal to us who their enemies are.
January 6 rioters? They are “armed insurrectionists.” Parents opposed to Critical Race Theory in schools? They are “domestic terrorists” and the FBI will know the reason why. Climate change skeptics? They are “climate deniers,” as in “Holocaust deniers.” Opponents of DEI? They are “white oppressors” and “systemic racists.”
But when Vladimir Putin threatens the sanctity of the Ukraine, President Biden blathers on about a “minor incursion.” So, not really an enemy.

Now, all of a sudden, the usual suspects are accusing White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain of extremism.
For months, moderate Democrats in Congress have complained that Klain is overly deferential to their liberal colleagues, to the point where some members and Hill staff privately said he needed to be replaced.
They have? Well, bless my buttons. How come that our fearless “comfort the afflicted, afflict the comfortable” media didn’t tell us “months” ago? Moderate Democrats have been complaining “for months?” Now, all of a sudden, the Chuck ‘n Nancy tactics of burn-it-down is old news? Now, all of a sudden, the enemy is Ron Klain?
You think now, dear moderate Democrats, that treating Americans that don’t agree with you as enemies is not the best of all possible worlds? Gosh. Forgive me if I’ve been sitting in a political bomb shelter for the last year, but this is the first I’ve heard that you moderates ain’t happy with your leadership and its take-no-prisoners tactics.
And forgive me for saying that the time to make your voices heard in the councils of state was a year ago. Because now the die is cast, and probably after November 8, 2022 there won’t be too many moderate Democrats left in Congress. For a generation.
