On a TV show from a nation which seems far removed, the opening monologue ended with the words “Truth, Justice and the American way”. We celebrated and believed this to our very souls.

Today  criminals of every sort are not being held accountable for their actions but held in esteem as their transgressions are either glossed over or even rubbed in our faces. Sometimes these crimes almost seem to be resume enhancers for further positions of power and influence. One thing in common with a majority of these un-indicted criminals seems to be a party affiliation. If you are a democrat you almost need to get caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy. Just like democrat Edwin Edwards proclaimed as the only way he could lose his reelection. (BTW he won) Today there are doubts this would exclude you from being a democrat or a media darling.

Democrat immunity may be compared to favorably or unfavorably to diplomatic immunity. Diplomatic immunity is the international law that ensures diplomats are exempt from lawsuits or prosecution under the host countries laws. Democrat immunity seems to ensure prosecution from any laws depending on your usefulness and relevance to the party.

Some of the more blatant examples and their usefulness to the party are listed below in no particular order.

Al Sharpton: Mr. Sharpton has had 4.5 million in tax liens in addition to not paying federal taxes for his employees of his action network. But Sharpton walks free and pontificates about others not paying their fair share of taxes on NBC. Sharpton is useful to the party to help stir up racial tensions as part of their latest but not original, divide and rule party platform.

Hillary Clinton: Hand over an envelope of cash to a Secretary of State and future presidential candidate you would be thrown in jail quicker than you can say “Whitewater”. But if you marked the envelope Clinton Foundation it would all be perfectly legal. Now in all fairness, none of the Clintons take a salary for all their hard work but did spend 50 million flying around the world on first class trips to visit the oppressed. Now Bill and Hillary are still power players in the democrat party and there still may be some embarrassing FBI files lying around in Chappaqua.

Bill Ayers: While the FBI warns the country about patriotic Americans being domestic terrorists the founder of The Weather Underground an admitted terrorist group that bombed the US capital, the Pentagon, and a police station is in his own words “Guilty as sin, free as a bird”. He is Obama’s mentor and possible autobiography writer.

Ed Buck: Ed is an anomaly since he is being prosecuted for his crimes. It was only after the second dead male prostitute was found in his home that his democrat immunity was revoked. Only then because dead men tell no tales but their families do, sometimes to the press. There are half a million reasons Buck had immunity, because that’s how much he donated to the party.

Andrew Cuomo: While being pummeled by some in the press for sending an untold number of older New York residents to their deaths and his “hands on” mentoring to all his female staff. But nary a word from his Democrat colleague’s. Can’t really be sure why he gets a pass from even other future presidential rivals unless in true mob style the 59 billion missing from his tenue at HUD had some strings attached.

Weinstein & Epstein: It seems with both these guys “everyone” knew but no one stopped them. It took years for their malfeasance to become public and finally catch up to them. Both were big donors and active in the party. One would guess both lost their influence and immunity in light of the bad press which couldn’t be swept under the rug any further.

Hunter Biden: So many crimes to pick from it’s hard to narrow down. One small one is acquiring a pistol license in the people’s republic of California. It’s not impossible to legally defend oneself there but it is tough. Must reside in the state, must be morally upright, undergo mandatory training, and must not be a drug addict. In spite of Hunter’s short comings he acquired a pistol permit in the state and passed a federal back ground check. Hunter’s girlfriend threw the licensed gun away in the trash since he didn’t pass her background check. The only consequence of the entire episode was the scramble to hide the story till after the election.

This is just a small sample of democrat immunity in action. If you pay any attention you will see examples of crimes most citizens would pay dearly for being excused in exchange for allegiance to the party. This does not include the perks and advantages that can be heaped on for just behaving badly in order to advance the party goals. Things like professorships, unrecoverable book advances, or self-serving awards for bravery or “forward” thinking. See how many Antifa or BLM members are held accountable for burning down our cities to advance the democrat presidential platform. How many network news readers have lost their jobs over hyperbole or outright lies about Trump.

Don’t be mistaken in thinking it only happens in the democrat party, it also seems to happen for both parties, just it seems the democrats have it down to a science and get away with the most egregious examples.  Possible we have been naive and there never was Truth Justice and the America way it’s just something we were sold like the latest version of soap powder. Could it be as Thrasymachus, a student of Socrates stated, “I proclaim that justice is nothing but the interest of the stronger”, or as Karl Marx put it “Might makes right”.

If this is so we have drifted even further from the teachings of Socrates, and the principals our founding fathers gifted to us when constructing this great nation, the “Natural law”. Natural law (Latin: ius naturale, lex naturalis) is a moral theory which asserts that rights exist apart from the state. They are “inherent by virtue,” bestowed by a transcendent power, and cannot be justifiably abrogated. Natural law rests on the idea that objective truth exists and humans can ascertain it.
