Senator Diane Feinstein detects that Barrett is one within whom the dogmas (of the Catholic Church) live loudly. Or at least loudly enough for the senator to detect. Perhaps it is the number of kids. Or her good looks, as conservatives apparently are better looking after all.

And this is “of concern” the senator says.

Barrett’s commitment to ‘our secular faith’ and to an unconditionally shared fate within the context of an ever changing moral hive-mind sensibility, is apparently suspect.

Well, the Marrannos apparently had no better option or alternative than to live as fellows and political associates with those who despised them for what they were.

Americans do have alternatives. And cost benefit – or survival – calculations eventually do come into play. The cost of one’s perpetually suffering the projection and offloading of liberal neuroses, and personality deficits, and organic dysfunctions, onto you and everyone else through the agency of the state (“this is how we take care of each other”) does, to put it plainly, exceed the benefits delivered by any political association with them.

Nature itself will bring about a reckoning, if not man himself. The progressive conceit is that they are good enough at manipulating reality, and know enough about it, so that no matter what happens they will always stay one or two steps head of cause and effect.

History shows that that is not a good bet.

What’s going on in the Ctrl Left vs Alt Right won’t be found from Trum, the news, or the media. The more people here talk about them, the more distracted they are.

People were the same way in 2007, 2012, which is why they didn’t believe my warnings. Which was fine, since I told them that the Left would stop on their face enough times to convince me, I didn’t have to lift a finger. And guess who Anti Fa just stomped.

Numbers wise they were less than traditional factions, but propaganda wise they were worth far more than the campaign contributions of various pacs put together.

And it was the propaganda that Democrat “working class” needed to push them into leaving the Democrat party, for one Presidential election at least. This averted the HRC scheme of voter fraud, which was focused on Democrat cities, ignoring the Democrat hinterlands.
The Antifa bunch is a much greater threat to the country than the alt-right has ever been. The Antifa’s want to gather power to themselves in order to rule over others.

Those like me already were talking about the AntiFa before the AntiFa.

People didn’t listen back then, nor are you going to listen now. What else is new.

Irv: I consider it foolish to ignore the outliers of a group.

For instance, the outliers of National Review conservatives aren’t the same as Trump outliers.

If David Duke says he agrees with any of Trump’s policies then the policies must be racist (argumentum ad populem also known as the genetic fallacy.) I learned about that in a freshman logic class almost 60 years ago. I suspect that most of the media know it too but disregard it in the case of conservatives.

The media then compounds their error by using a reverse but similar logic to support liberals. They often say that the liberals actions con’t be judged bad because there are some outliers that aren’t bad.

AesopFan: That’s a nice theory which is tougher in practice and falls apart entirely when it comes to Trump and his more fervent supporters.

It felt pretty much the same to me when one old friend dumped me because I supported George W. Bush and another old friend dumped me because I didn’t like Trump.

DNW: If I may ask, to what extent is it social war if I disagree with you? “

Well, I can try and explain at least.

You can disagree with me to any extent at all and it will never be social war, as long as it costs me nothing and troubles me not at all in terms of real world obligations, and involuntary transfers of productive effort. LOL

Actually, this isn’t too far off the mark (see Irv’s comment following this one).
The “conservative” position allows for disagreement without personal rancor; the “liberal” position demands war.

(I should have made my usual caveat above with my reply to Irv: today’s Left is in no way to be considered liberal in the classical sense. They are authoritarian socialists — proto if not complete fascists.)
