Move On

MoveOn.org is known for its far-left advocacy of progressive politics.

This is how MoveOn describes itself on its website.

Whether it’s supporting a candidate, passing legislation, or changing our culture, MoveOn members are committed to an inclusive and progressive future. We envision a world marked by equality, sustainability, justice, and love. And we mobilize together to achieve it.

It is probably not surprising that MoveOn also has this graphic prominently displayed on its web home page.

It wants Congress to begin impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump immediately for his abuse of power and violation of public trust.

I guess they don't love President Donald Trump. Would they love Mike Pence any more?

What I find ironic in all of this is that MoveOn was created in 1998 following the release of the report of Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr on President Bill Clinton's activities in The White House.

The founders of what became MoveOn.org launched a petition drive initially called "Censure and Move On" in which it asked people to demand that "Congress must Immediately Censure President Clinton and Move On to pressing issues facing the country."

Why were MoveOn founders Joan Blades and Wes Boyd motivated to start the petition drive and the organization?

They were concerned about "the partisan warfare in Washington" following revelations of the affair that President Clinton had with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.

Let's recap all of this.

MoveOn.org wanted the country to move on after the Starr report because of partisan warfare in Washington and the pressing issues facing the country.

However, MoveOn.org now does not want to move on when Donald Trump is President despite the pressing issues facing the country today.

And MoveOn.org was founded because of concerns about "partisan warfare" in Washington?

It is impossible to make this stuff up.

The Mueller report found no collusion with Russia by any person in America regarding the 2016 election. Mueller could also not make any credible case for obstruction of justice by President Trump who was then cleared of any charges by the Department of Justice. Consider further that you might also be be a little upset at a 2-year investigation into collusion with Russia when you did nothing of the sort.

My suggestion to MoveOn.org is simple---Move On. There are pressing issues facing the country.

MoveOn.org recognized that at one time.

Why not now?

It must have something to do with "partisan warfare in Washington". MoveOn.org  was very concerned about it in 1998. However, they are now responsible for contributing to it in 2019.

Move On!
