If it weren't for double standards, libs would have no standards at all. Well, the reality is a little worse actually. It's more like the implementation of Herbert Marcuse's Repressive Tolerance. Step back and look at the bigger picture, the US is in the early/mid stages of a Maoist revolution. It may or may not succeed at this stage, a bit like Germany in 1918-1919 although this time the war is predominantly a psychological war.
