    For President Trump, no good deed goes unpunished.

    Trump asked Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, an Obama holdover, to step down. In his place, the president promoted Deputy Surgeon General Sylvia Trent-Adams as acting surgeon general.

    Instead of applauding President Trump for elevating a black, female nurse to the post, leftists attacked Dr. Trent-Adams’ credentials, saying she’s “just a nurse.” Obviously, Trump’s promotion of a black woman doesn’t fit the liberal media narrative that he’s a “racist misogynist.”

    The disses started with liberal media outlets like ABC News, which tepidly announced in a snide tweet: “Dr. Vivek Murthy — an Obama appointee — resigns as Surgeon General, replaced by deputy Sylvia Trent-Adams, a nurse.”

    Actually, she’s a nurse with a Ph.D., so you can call her “Doctor.”

    Similarly, the New York Times — the so-called bastion of social justice activism — bleated in a snobby headline: “Nurse Replaces Surgeon General After Obama Appointee Resigns.”

    It’s not until the last paragraph that the New York Times mentions that Sylvia Trent-Adams has a Ph.D. and was a nurse officer in the Army who had served as deputy surgeon general.

    No one doubted Trent-Adams’ credentials (or lack of a medical degree) when she was deputy surgeon general under Obama. If she was qualified to be second in line to the Surgeon General’s post then, why is she suddenly unqualified now? Is it simply because Trump promoted her?

    Meanwhile, “tolerant, open-minded” liberals immediately trashed Trent-Adams as unqualified.

    In contrast, Trump supporters — whom mainstream media have repeatedly blasted as racist and sexist — applauded Trent-Adams’ promotion. Even if it’s temporary (which we don’t know yet), it’s still a milestone.

    Surgeon generals position is now a figure head at best. The position was that the best surgeon would set into place policies and practices of safe health in field of surgery. Now it is mouth piece for what ever the current
    Administration. Still here the railing of Reagans surgeon general and his dez ription of gris. Now deemed aids or HIV.
    A Dr of nursing is not something to scorn as unqualified . wish Dr Carson was in this position and a banker in charge of HUD but that would just make sense. This administration out side kelogg Matti's Kelly and vice President pence . does not make much sense. On the domestic agenda of health human devices epa and interior
    It actually makes no sense.
    Seriously I see cuts to science education alternative energy and other programs will drive Democrats to the polls come 2018. Who h according to the calander is about 700 days and a wake up away. He has lost an 1/8 of this time where r have all the cards.

    Agreeing with you that liberals are mostly intolerant, harsh in criticism, cooperativness, reasonableness, open mindedness, tolerance of opposing views. They thrive on being quirky and think they are doing society a service by leading us all to their agendas of "change and hope."

    The reason it is in quotes is because the article he cut and pasted from has it in quotes.

    Its sad to think that people including you actually feel this way, it is almost like you feel that the political way of thinking you believe is superior. Your smug, condescending replies in sweeping generalities is disgusting and immature.

    There is no such thing as a general "liberals" typecast you constantly blabber on about, just as there is none for "conservatives".

    Your mind is as or MORE closed to reality than the "liberals" you berate, and these kinds of replies makes you look quite childish and intolerant AND lacking the ability to analyze someone or something different than you.

    Its sad to think that people including you actually feel this way, it is almost like you feel that the political way of thinking you believe is superior. Your smug, condescending replies in sweeping generalities is disgusting and immature.

    There is no such thing as a general "liberals" typecast you constantly blabber on about, just as there is none for "conservatives".

    Your mind is as or MORE closed to reality than the "liberals" you berate, and these kinds of replies makes you look quite childish and intolerant AND lacking the ability to analyze someone or something different than you.
