The Progressive Abyss

The Progressive has made a world with the 'politics of personal destruction' as Bill Clinton* once said. Conservatives aren't just wrong. Conservatives  are evil. Conservatives are the church elders in Footloose. Conservatives must be stopped by any means necessary.

Now in power, Conservatives have absolutely no incentive to be nice.

The Progressive is freaking out over the retirement of Justice Kennedy, a moderate soon to be replaced by a conservative justice. The Progressive's  hopes lie with an 85 year old lady who can't stay awake through the State of the Union. The Progressive knows he will soon face a 6-3 Conservative majority on the bench.

The Progressive stairs into the abyss and wonders if maybe he shouldn't have:

-vested so much intellectual prestige and effort in the Supreme Court
-killed the Judge Bork nomination
-tried to lynch Judge Thomas
-blamed the Oklahoma City Bombing on Republicans
-stuck by Bill Clinton even after he lied to the nation 
-contested the 2000 election
-blamed W for 9/11
-stonewalled all those Bush judicial nominations
-politicized Abu Graib
-tried to lose the Iraq War
-pushed Obamacare through via pure parliamentary muscle
-used the pen and phone for DACA
-bypassed the senate for the Iran Deal
-forced that Christian to bake the cake
-forced a bunch of nuns to provide birth control and pay for abortions
-abolished the judicial filibuster for lower court appointments
-blamed the NRA for gun massacres
-justified harassment and violence against conservatives

The Progressive stares into the abyss and he sees himself staring right back.

  1. I am not sure about what you are basing this statement upon. I remember the Hobby Lobby case, and only bits and pieces of this one.

    forced a bunch of nuns to provide birth control and pay for abortions

    Will check on it in a moment.

    Will
