How easy it is for the left to tell those it doesn't like on the right to be ashamed of themselves, the subtext being that the target should exit the scene.

Ms. Campbell sees warning signs. Losing our grip in a shame-free world, CT Post, Jan. 16, p. A9. “Our moral maps” are off. According to her, the signs are flashing about our “country's purported slow side into fascism.”

Her foretoken is Trump, and the defiance he shows in the face of 91 criminal charges, obviously all brought by disinterested, good and good-hearted public servants whose own houses are in meticulous order.

She seems to forget that fascism rises quite naturally from the left, often ushered in as ‘necessary’ and/or ‘compassionate’ actions that must be taken for the good of all in a time of national crisis, or just to address past wrongs.

Where is the shame for shutting down the country over the Wuhan Virus, the throttling of free speech on social media and college campuses, the twisting of truth, the butchering of our youth, the assault on family and religion, for the ascendance of corrosive ideologies, for the criminal activities of a drug-addled son, most likely abetted by his now president father, for the outbreak of war in the face of a weak octogenarian president, for the tolerance of calls of genocide by the same people who would cancel us for using the wrong word? The hypocrisy of Gary Hart is quaint in comparison.

Ms. Campell laments that “fair and balanced” is but a memory when it comes to Fox. I would suggest it is not even an aspiration of the “mainstream” press. It certainly has not been in this century, and some would argue for much of the last.
