Sobering Up Progressives
Someone once said that arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand. Listening to progressives reassure themselves (once again) that the election is in the bag -- due to their candidate's superior intelligence -- reminded me of that. But, as we know, after watching two stolen presidential elections in a row, politics is not quite that simple.
Progressives believe in fair play. Conservatives believe in winning by any means necessary. This report by the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU reminds us of what that entails.
In case progressives think that, this time, their heroes are going to fight tooth and nail to win, the video of Al Gore's chiding of the Congressional Black Caucus to abide by the fascist five Supreme Court decision of 12/12/2000 might help to sober them up.
