I don't want to talk about abortion; I want to talk about insurrection [View all]

It seems to me that the "draft opinion" is just the right shouting "squirrel" to watch progressives react like they'd react, with outrage.

Outrage is not the Democratic Party theme, Progress which is inevitable and can't be rolled back is what we should be working towards.

It seems like we cede ground to the minority when we argue on their turf.

Human rights are hugely important, but I recognize when I'm being trolled and rolled.

These people just like to watch the world burn to keep the enormously rich and powerful over us all. We're not these people.

We are people who see a problem and try to solve it, even if it takes centuries.

I am of the Star Trek generation, which sees the world's current problems as insignificant compared to taking a futuristic view.

I leave this mini rant with a song:
