Lifeofmind #122:

The prehistoric origins of the Left are not doubt as you say, but the present day Left is not internally consistent. Rather, as I have said here before, it is a trendy designer bag that they use to carry around their latest fad beliefs. Those beliefs are derived from the latest Talking Points issued by the elites combined with whatever is convenient or expedient at the time. If certain of the elites have interests in oil pipelines in Iraq, then that becomes our priority rather than getting out ASAP. If the head of NOW says that a new prenatal care program threatens abortion rights by making abortions less necessary, then feminists find themselves against prenatal care.

Tcobb: Glad you liked that comment. Obviously it is not wholly original!

“If the GOP ever gets back into power (a big if), they cannot make that mistake again.”

One of the disturbing aspects of our current situation is what it will take to not only fix it but to prevent even a near term reoccurrence. And that is not a pretty sight. I will admit that the thought of Pelosi and Reid hanging from lampposts around the Mall in DC sounds attractive at times but I think it would be a national tragedy if it came to that. But one may have to balance tragedies against each other.
