I'm not sure Sen.
John Cornyn was helping with that lengthy presentation attempting
to establish the many similarities between Samuel Alito and Sandra
Day O'Connor.
It doesn't matter.
Liberals are being routed. They can change the lineup, the manager,
the coach, but the losing streak never ends. By and large, Republicans
aren't even bothering to send in their A team anymore. Alito can
start wearing his iPod to the hearings. By the end of the hearings,
he'll be addressing the senators as "dude."
For fun, we ought
to replace all the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee
with "American Idol" contestants (assuming they wouldn't
object to serving on a committee that includes a degenerate like
Teddy Kennedy). Democrats would still not be able to persuade
a single normal American that Sam Alito is "out of the mainstream."
With all their hysteria
about Valerie Plame, I had nearly forgotten what the Democratic
Party stands for. It's good to be reminded that the sole item
on the Democrats' agenda is abortion.
According
to Dianne Feinstein, Roe v. Wade is critically important
because "women all over America have come to depend on it."
At its most majestic, this precious right that women "have
come to depend on" is the right to have sex with men they
don't want to have children with.
There's a stirring
principle! Leave aside the part of this precious constitutional
right that involves (1) not allowing Americans to vote on the
matter, and (2) suctioning brains out of half-born babies. The
right to have sex with men you don't want to have children with
is not exactly "Give me liberty, or give me death."
In the history of
the nation, there has never been a political party so ridiculous
as today's Democrats. It's as if all the brain-damaged people
in America got together and formed a voting bloc.
The Federalists drafted
the greatest political philosophy ever written by man and created
the first constitutional republic. The anti-Federalists -- or
"pre-Democrats, as I call them -- were formed to oppose the
Constitution, which, to a great extent, remains their position
today.
Andrew Jackson, the
father of the Democratic Party, may have had some unpalatable
goals, but at least they were big ideas. Wipe out the Indians,
kill off the national bank and institute a spoils system. Love
him or hate him, he never said, "I'll be announcing my platform
sometime early next year." The Whigs were formed in opposition
to everything Jackson stood for.
The Republican Party
emerged from the Whigs when the Whigs waffled on slavery. (They
were "pro-choice" on slavery.) The Republican Party
was founded expressly as the anti-slavery party, which to a great
extent remains their position today.
Having won that one,
today's Republican Party stands for life, limited government and
national defense. And today's Democratic Party stands for ...
the right of women to have unprotected sex with men they don't
especially like. We're the Blacks-Aren't-Property/Don't-Kill-Babies
party. They're the Hook-Up party.
Leave aside any moral
questions about baby-killing -- a term I have come to understand
the baby-killing party dislikes. Smoking is fun too, but even
I wouldn't support a political party whose sole raison d'etre
was to eliminate non-smoking sections across the nation. That's
not exactly the Magna Carta.
This week's conventional
wisdom is that the Democrats weren't even trying to nail Alito
at the confirmation hearings. Au contraire! The Democrats were
tigers! They proved exactly what they set out to prove.
In fact,
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-Hillary's state, was so deft in his questioning,
he even has me convinced that Alito is going to vote to overrule
Roe v. Wade. (And just when I thought I couldn't be more
enthusiastic about the nomination!)
I'll go out on a limb
and bet that, after the Democrats' expert cross-examination, Judge
Alito has lost the support of every single member of NARAL.
The problem for the
Democrats is: NARAL members aren't like most people. "Give
me liberty or give me the right to have unprotected sex with men
I don't want to have a child with" just isn't that attractive
a principle in the light of day.
