It's All Gone: The Democrats' Dead Ideals
PJ Media ^ | 10/03/18 | ROGER KIMBALL

Posted on 10/04/2018 9:55:22 AM PDT by JonnyFive

As the spurious case against Brett Kavanaugh disintegrates, splinters, and re-forms into a cacophony of whiny, irrelevant expostulations, it is instructive to step back and survey the field upon which this battle took place.

The ground is littered with dead and wounded ideals: civility, dead; basic decency, dead; the presumption of innocence, gravely wounded, ditto for the idea of due process. And this disgusting carnage is all on you, O ancient one, Dianne Feinstein, and your self-important, preposterous colleagues. You were desperate to keep Brett Kavanaugh off the Supreme Court so you abandoned any semblance of decency and respect. You travestied the processes of the United States Senate for the sake of a cynical grab at power. I’d say that you should be ashamed of yourselves, but, like the thugs that you are, you have no shame. You believe the acquisition of power is a magical antidote to shame. You are wrong about that, and one can only hope that you will one day reap some portion of the obloquy you have sowed.

The only ideal is abortion.

Pelosi recently said something like it is the only absolute (can someone pin this down).

Where is the ACLU on all of this? They would defend the due process of a murderer, but keep silence in this case?

The ‘afflicted girls’ Christine Blasey Ford and Julie Swetnick tricks didn’t work.

The ACLU is not silent. It’s worse than that:

From an old Bob Wills tune...modified...

“Ther’l be smoke on the water, in the Land of the Free,
When the American Republic overcomes the enemy.
Ther’l be smoke on the mountain where the heathen Dems rage,
And the sun that is shining will go down on that day!”

From the article:

The real crime of Captain Dreyfus was that he was Jewish. The crime of Brett Kavanaugh is that he is Donald Trump’s nominee....

An excellent read. Thank you for posting it.

“All animals are equal but some are more equal than others”. A murderer or thief can, in the eyes of the ACLU, claim oppression as the reason for their crime. Judge Kavanaugh, however, got his position because of white, cis-male, hetero- privilege. In this he is guilty.
