10 Examples of the Left’s Blatant Hypocrisy

“Anti-racists” have an all but monopoly on racism.

Hypocrisy of the Left? Let me count the ways. Well, at least some of them, since there are more than you can shake a stick at.

In their view, the minimum wage sets a floor under wages; the higher it is, the better off are the poverty-stricken, the unskilled, and demographic groups and youth who usually get the short end of the stick. (The truth of the matter is that this law is more akin to a hurdle or high jump bar: the higher it is, the more difficult it is to obtai...
