Think Progress illustrates Antonin Scalia's triumph over logic.
in his dissent for Lawrence v. Texas, Scalia said
The Texas statute undeniably seeks to further the belief of its citizens that certain forms of sexual behavior are “immoral and unacceptable,” ....
[skip to a quote from another context]
... Scalia said it was “preposterous” to categorize gay people as “politically unpopular”

New York Times Crashed-and-Burned Watch (Adam Nagourney/Peter Baker Edition) *
Shut it down. Shut it down now.
Shorter Adam Nagourney and Peter Baker:
We lied about George W. Bush for eight years--pretended he was a competent president running a rational administration when we were dining out on stories of his and his administration's fecklessness all across Washington--and now that we have a competent president running a rational administration, we're going to lie in the other direction for the next eight years.

Supposed liberals have become as thugs in bullying an mention of the President that is not worshipful, "literally" as Joe Biden would write.
ReplyDeleteThe more supposed liberals write as thugs unless a properly worshipful stance is taken about the President, the more inclined I am to question every position of the President and the more I question the more I find fault with. Beyond the Bush-like military stances of the President there are the wild claims about saving on health care spending by moving to digital record keeping along with failing to even consider a single-payer health insurance plan.
ReplyDeleteQuick, tell the pretend liberal thugs.
