    What If Conservatives Behaved Like San Francisco Liberals? Bernie Goldberg

    I wonder if our liberal friends have picked up on the irony that some of their trendiest progressive values, especially now that Donald Trump has been elected president, have a pedigree they’d rather not acknowledge – a pedigree that goes back to the bad old days of slavery and segregation.

    Let’s start with their efforts to secede from the union. Yes, there are efforts, meager as they may be, to secede from the union. There was a short-lived ballot proposal in Oregon called the “Oregon Secession Act” which was drawn up as a response to President-elect Trump. As one proponent explained it, “Oregon values are no longer the values held by the rest of the United States.”

    Then there’s The People’s Republic of California, where liberals opposed to Donald Trump have taken to Twitter to register their unhappiness, using supposedly witty hashtags like #Calexit and #Calleavefornia – and where a venture capitalist says he’ll fund “a legitimate campaign for California to become its own nation.”

    If there was Twitter in 1861, the confederates might have used it too to express their discontent over the North not sharing their Southern values: #GoDixie!

    Ah, but there’s a big difference, our progressive friends would tell us. We’re good people who have values and ideals that simply don’t fit in with those of less enlightened folks in the rest of America...

    ...Proponents of sanctuary cities – and even backers of the loony notion of modern day secession – are free, of course, to make their case. [B]But opponents ought to remind our progressive friends that they’re not the only ones who have been certain in their convictions when it comes to matters of right and wrong.

    Every day I hear some liberal somewhere expressing fear over the soon-to-be Trump presidency. Who knows what he’ll do, they say. What if he decides that he only wants to follow the laws he happens to support?

    What if, to pick just one example, he decides that “unfair” federal environmental laws are bad for business and just plain ignores them? You can’t pick and choose which laws you’ll obey, they would scream. You can’t decide which laws are “fair” and which are “unfair.” What kind of country would we have then?

    Bingo, my progressive fellow Americans.
