THE ABYSS OF LIBERAL IGNORANCE
Powerline ^ | 12 Aug 2019 | Steven Hayward

Posted on 08/12/2019 5:14:42 PM PDT by Rummyfan

It is hard to judge the race between the presumptuousness and the abysmal ignorance of liberals. Back in the 1950s, for example, Arthur Schlesinger once included among leading conservative thinkers McGeorge Bundy, Wayne Morse, and Jacob Javits. Seriously?! (I can add my own vignette to these “Scenes from Inside the Liberal Bubble,” in the form of the UC Berkeley administrator who said to me once, “It would be great if you could help bring some conservative speakers to campus. Like Olympia Snowe!”)

But Harvard’s Laurence Tribe takes the cake with this Tweet:

I have been meaning for a long time to point out that if racism is the core value of conservatives, they would be massively in favor of abortion, and for having the federal government pay for it instead of backing the Hyde Amendment, which bans federal funding for abortion. We’d be for Planned Parenthood clinics on every corner in big cities, instead of trying to shut off their “indirect” federal funding.

Is Tribe really ignorant of the fact that the majority of abortions are procured by minorities? (Stephen Green runs through the numbers here, reminding us along the way that actual white supremacists such as Richard Spencer do support abortion explicitly because of its racial effects. Who knew that Spencer and Tribe think alike!)

Lawrence Tribe is either a brazen liar or an imbecile.

95% of the people who abhor abortion do because they despise the thought of murdering another human being, the brutal slaughter of the most innocent, undeserving souls on earth.

They deplore the unabashed affront to God’s will and loath the total disregard of human dignity and worth. They, unlike Tribe, have a conscience that tells them that the practice of abortion is perverse and abominable, both a mortal sin and a crime.

Only the twisted, depraved progressive liberal psyche could possibly envisage a human being using this rational to oppose abortion.

Oh, and one additional “inconvenient” fact for Tribe to ponder.....Far more minority (primarily black) babies are aborted every year than are white.

The moron’s inane comments don’t even make sense on their plane.
