R.I.P., Judge Bork.

You will sadly always be the Poster Child for how the Left sets out to absolutely destroy good people through smear campaigns orchestrated by their fellow travelers in the mainstream media.

Perhaps if Judge Bork had been on the Supreme Court, we might not have Obamacare.

Rest in peace, Judge.

Well it might be a bit of a stretch to see the bright side, but if he would have won confirmation way back then, Obama might be filling his vacancy today....

The Left set a new low standard during Judge Bork's confirmation hearings.

A low they've since surpassed by a long shot, unfortunately.

After reading the article, trying not to think ill of the dead (i.e. Kennedy) but rather bless Bork for having to endure it. R.I.P.

Thanks to Ted Kennedy and his ilk, the country was denied a great jurist on the Supreme Court.

Bork was an intellectual giant, a brilliant legal mind. Of course, in Lib-landia, that’s not what they’re looking for. They want the best Hispanic female who is pro-abortion under any and all circumstances. Et cetera.

A great man, who did not deserve what the Democrats did to him.

You can trace the takeover of the Democrat Party by the Left to 1987. This is when the mask came off, and from 1988 to 1992, the major Dems went from pro-life to pro-abort.

In 1991, the Dems went full bore against Clarence Thomas and supported the liar Anita Hill. This was the spring after our tremendous military victory in the First Gulf War. The complicity of media with the Dems to destroy a conservative black man was unprecedented.

In 1992, the SOB traitor Bill Clinton was their standard bearer—what a gift he and his wife were to our country and our culture.The tactics of personal destruction and media complicity was perfected in those years. Like the Communist Party that had taken them over, the Dems never yielded in their protection of their members, no matter how outrageous the conduct. They politicized everything.

Now, with their perfected takeover of the vote counting process, they will be almost unstoppable.

But Bork was the event that introduced us to the new Democrat Party, and 25 years of hell as they proceeded with their single-minded mission to “fundamentally transform” America.

RIP Judge. While I had always instinctively leaned conservative, it was not until I read Judge Bork's Slouching Towards Gomorrah in my mid-twenties, that I started to put those gut feelings into a more seriously considered philosophy and became able to articulate why I believed what I believed.

I didn't agree with all his conclusions, but even in those cases, it was because of him that I forced myself to articulate why I disagreed.

When it came to opposing abortion, euthanasia and assisted suicide, there were few who could make or communicate a better case.

Slouching to Gomorrah was the first conservative book I read and gave me much to think about.

In a way, Robert Bork had the last laugh. Ted Kennedy went to his grave a rancid, lumbering, pathetic laughing stock.

He did? Then why do the lying communist propogandists in the media continue to refer to lying POS scumbag as the "lion of the Senate".
