The Hippocratic Oath is historically taken by physicians setting standards of performance. It was designed to hold doctors to a high ethical standard. Lately, it appears that a high percentage of Democrat leaders and their fawning supporters in the MSM have instead taken the “Hypocritical Oath.”
Following is the standard definition of hypocrite:
“The term “hypocrite” refers to a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion or someone who claims to have particular moral beliefs but behaves in a way that contradicts those beliefs. Essentially, a hypocrite is someone who preaches one thing but practices another.”
Democrats routinely express outrage at Republicans for allegedly doing things they have done. The most classic example is regarding political lawfare. The Biden Administration and local prosecutors were fully engaged in investigating Trump in an attempt to convict him of something. The result was a serious of show trials that often-required Trump’s personal attendance during his campaign for President. He was “convicted” of violating campaign finance laws by allegedly authorizing a payment to silence Stormy Daniels. This case was so flimsy even the federal prosecutors refused to file. So, Leticia James, who ran on a campaign to investigate Trump and convict him of something, chose to charge Trump for a state crime based on a federal statute, the feds were unwilling or unable to prosecute. Then he was tried for mortgage fraud for allegedly overstating his real estate assets. The bank involved had no complaints and no one lost any money. But facts are irrelevant to an out-of-control prosecutors and a jury hand picked out of a region where 80% of the people voted for Biden.
Democrats routinely call Trump a convicted felon. Both cases will almost certainly be dismissed by a higher court. But that was never the goal. The sole goal was to allow Democrats to refer to Trump as a convicted felon. Something they continue to do to this very day.
Now new Prosecutors are pursuing Democrats who committed real crimes for which there is tangible evidence. In response, Democrats who rejoiced at lawfare against Trump, are horrified that it would be used to prosecute obviously guilty people. No one is above the law, unless, of course, one is a Democrat politician.
There are numerous other examples, but it would get boring to list them all. Another recent example is Democrats hyperventilating over Trump deporting an MS13 gang member here illegally, while ignoring the inconvenient fact that both Clinton and Obama deported large numbers of people with no hint of “due process.” Again, the standard is if a Democrat politician does this, it is fine, but if Trump does it, a crime against humanity.
The bottom line is that whenever a Democrat accuses Trump of doing something, one should consider investigating similar actions taken by Democrats. Do not be surprised to learn that, once again, Democrats have elevated hypocrisy to whole new level. I call it the “Hypocritical oath,” since so many of them have sworn allegiance to this. Of course, the members of the MSM who swore allegiance to the same oath are extremely unlikely to notice.
