It never ceases to amaze me just how disconnected from reality some liberals are. They fight tooth and nail for something or on some point, win, then a few years later, when circumstances have changed, they fight for the exact opposite thing like their original victory never occurred. They insist they are the “party of science,” and demand anything decreed by people in lab coats be adhered to, then deny the most basic elements of biology. It’s beyond hypocrisy, it’s insanity.
After a pro-life bill was passed in Alabama, the left lost their collective mind. Beyond calling for “sex strikes” and other temper tantrums, many insisted federal law trumps state law. It does, or at least it did.
Thanks to liberal governors and mayors across the country, states and localities no longer have to adhere to, and actively flout, federal laws they disagree with. Illegal aliens are not only protected by these politicians, they’re catered to. In-state tuition, political appointments, voting in local elections, and a near absolute refusal alert immigration authorities when illegals are arrested. On this, there is no discussion about the supremacy of federal law, they simply pretend it does not exist.
Moreover, courts have insulated those jurisdictions from the consequences of their defiance, and journalists have elevated them to hero status. For all intents and purposes, they’ve won the argument that federal law can be disregarded if non-federal politicians so choose. If that is true for immigration, why isn’t it true for abortion?
Leftists insist “abortion is a Constitutional right,” yet states limit an unambiguous and literal right enumerated in the Bill of Rights – the Second Amendment – all the time, and continue to do so. So why can’t abortion be restricted?
There are federal drug laws that are explicit, whatever you think of them or how crazy some may seem. Rather than pushing to change them, states are pretending they don’t exist. That they’re openly defying federal law, and reaping massive tax revenue from it, is seen as “progressive,” not defiant.
In each of these cases there is no dissent from the left on how the federal government is supreme. The politicians responsible are cheered and held up as examples of bravery.
What they’re really doing is arguing for federalism – the idea that states are, or at least should be, free to decide their own fates. Depending on the issue, they have varying degrees of points.
Yet, when it comes to abortion, they are adamant that the opposite is the case – that federal law, or rather a Supreme Court decision, must apply everywhere. They’ve already won the argument, now they’re trying to lose it.
They’re trying to lose it while losing their minds.
“Men have to business passing laws, or even having even having opinions on the subject of abortion,” is the common refrain. Since women have abortions, men need to stay out of it, they insist. Yet the Supreme Court that decided Roe v. Wade was all male. More importantly, and more relevant to today’s political left, who is to say what is and isn’t male?
They’ve just spent that last couple of years insisting anyone, no matter the facts of biology, can be whatever gender they so choose, at any given moment. Not only that, but people can be both, neither, or some other made up option based on a whim. And, they continue, if everyone else doesn’t play along, immediately adjusting their attitude and the things they say (and how they say them through pronoun use, which includes made-up words), they can be destroyed
Liberals insist, in spite of unrefuted evidence collected throughout all of human existence, that a man can become pregnant. (Read this exchange for an example of this.) What was irrefutable truth is now turned on its head?
Well, if women can be men and men can be women, then everyone is free to have a say in anything related to gender. If gender is a “social construct” and biology doesn’t matter, then everything is fair game.
Liberals don’t get to use different sets of rules depending upon what fight they’re trying to win – either states are free to supersede federal law or they are not. The concepts on which they’re simultaneously asserting and denying where the power to make such decisions lies is irrelevant. Of course, rational arguments only work when dealing with rational people, and there are no rational people left in the Democratic Party.

Yes, that’s quite obvious at Yahoo.
I can’t imagine what it’s like at DU or Huff Po.
“Liberal” in that sense is illiberal. The only thing they would liberate us from is sense!
It’s a huge gaslighting plot... I say, orchestrated by God’s enemies in the spiritual realm.
Also, no baby, save for Jesus Christ, was conceived without participation of a male human. Didn’t Roe v. Wade originate in a lawsuit brought by the father, who didn’t want to lose his child to an abortion? It wasn’t even a matter of being deadbeat — I don’t remember hearing that this was even a factor, that the man couldn’t fully support the gestating woman. Fathers’ rights, that long forgotten thing, may be due for a resurgence along with this.
> I can’t imagine what it’s like at DU or Huff Po.
Go take a look at DU from time to time; I do to gauge the enemy’s mindset.
They’re beyond nuts. They are criminally insane and have the reasoning capabilities of a rabid dog.
All of this craziness was summed up by Orwell when he used the mathematical equation of ‘2+2=5’ to show the requirement to dispand with truth as a necessary requirement to completely control the masses. This is what Orwell’s inner party was all about.

Kaslin,
Thanks so much for putting up the great posts here on FR daily. I usually read most of them.
Many thanks to our pubic school teachers and administrators for, over the decades, pushing the acceptance of such warped thinking upon our impressionable children. They did a great job, no?
Pubic school teachers mentally abuse our children, folks. For decades now.
By being pro abortion women’s rights and what ever tag line is good for today they are really celebrating their irresponsibility as a adult. In the throws of passion with another human YOU HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP YOUR LEGS CLOSED OR PROTECT YOURSELF FROM PREGNANCY. By arrogantly defying this responsibility YOU have thrown the expense and funding to rid YOURSELF of a baby that is really part of YOU on the tax payer and demand we support it and help you kill your child. How dare you include us in on your despicable act and have to pay for it too
Met about 100 local tree farmers, the best of the best, some were even wearing MAGA hats. They work their asses off everyday on their land, restoring or harvesting or planting trees. With these kind of people on our side, we will win!
That’s why I say it’s spirit of antichrist. It’s world-wide.
Yes, the evil begins in the principalities.
Ephesians 6:12 King James Version
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Good article.
I’m sure. Most of the ones at Yahoo have the reasoning ability and maturity of a petulant 5-year-old.
As Gutfeld would mockingly say, “he doesn’t personally believe in slavery but...” people should have the right to make the choice of owning a slave.
How would liberals feel about that ‘choice’...
A person wood think so!
