Michael Anton (aka Publius Decius Mus) very, very rarely underwhelms.\u00a0 This is no exception.\u00a0 He lays out the strategy of the left and the uselessness of the NeverTrump Right.<\/p>\n
None of the indictment is novel or complicated.\u00a0 The bottom line is the Left has abandoned any recourse to objectivity, due process or even sanity.\u00a0 All’s fair in love and war and everything is war for the Left.\u00a0 Character assassination, perjury, intimidation, harassment of wives and children and any amount of media manipulation are not only acceptable but mandatory.\u00a0 The #metoo playbook requires the accused to curl up in the fetal position and allow every kick from the sisterhood to land squarely.\u00a0 And it requires every good Republican loser to join the accused on the floor for his well earned kicks.\u00a0 And right on cue Flake curls up and presents his “head” for kicking.<\/p>\n
But, surprise, surprise, neither Kavanaugh, Trump or even McConnell played dead.\u00a0 They decided to fight back instead and they even won.<\/p>\n
Anton says that the bright spot in this nightmare is that the orgy of dishonesty against one of their own (Kavanaugh is a Beltway insider) is bound to wake up many of the establishment Republicans from their stupor.\u00a0 He thinks this tawdry exercise is providing an example to the spineless Republican leadership of what it’s like to stand up to a leftist lynch mob and win.\u00a0 Maybe next time a psychotic leftist harpy accuses a man of some crime of passion that no one in his right mind would want to commit on her the Republicans will wise up and laugh her out of the Capitol Building.\u00a0 Maybe, but I wouldn’t bet on it, the worthless worms.<\/p>\n
