Liberal Forum

It took her sister's car getting stolen for her to be convert on the this:


Proving the old saw that a conservative is a liberal who’s been mugged, one of the New York Times’ marquee columnists has agreed — grudgingly, stubbornly, kicking and screaming — that President Trump is right: There’s too much crime in the nation’s capital.

 And, just possibly, Washington, DC, currently under Democratic control, could benefit from Trump calling in the National Guard and other feds to help restore law and order.

 “It’s ridiculous to drag F.B.I. agents from their desks to be cops on the beat. And the tableau of National Guard troops — even unarmed — raises the specter of martial law being normalized and weaponized,” Pulitzer Prize-winning DC-based scribe Maureen Dowd wrote over the weekend.
 Then La Dowd suddenly hit the brakes, skidded, and did a complete 180.“It is also true that many D.C. residents are secretly glad to see more uniforms. No matter what statistics say, they don’t feel safe.”

This about-face was brought on by her sister’s close encounter with slovenly car thieves. As Dowd tells it, she was having dinner with her sibling Peggy in the upscale Georgetown neighborhood recently when the metaphorical mugging zapped the liberal right out of her: Peg’s beloved Buick vanished from its parking spot by Maureen’s house.
