“It was Ronald Reagan who popularized the notion that the conservative movement rested on a fusionist “three-legged stool.” In theory, the three legs were free market economics, national defense and social conservatism. In practice, free market economics meant low taxes and pro-business policies. National defense meant anticommunism and, briefly, the war on terror. Social conservatism covered a lot of territory but the enduring core was opposition to Roe and abortion.”

An over-simplification froma simple mind.
Go away, Goldberg.

Liberals want to argue that the Constitution, which specifically mentions guns, does not guarantee your right to own a firearm, yet at the same time, they want to argue that the Constitution, which does not even contain the word “abortion” affords a Constitutional right to murder your child.

You can’t reason with these people. They’re not even just ignorant. They’re actually purposely evil. Purposely deceptive. Purposely destructive. Purposely twisting the rule of law to fit their satanic world view.

It shows how fake National Review is that he once led it. He was just playing a conservative. He put out a book called “Liberal Fascism.”

“ Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, hailed the court’s decision. “But,” he added, “we must not only continue to take steps to protect the unborn, we must also do more to support mothers and their babies.” He promised to “soon introduce a bill to ensure we do everything we can to give every child the opportunity to fully access the promise of America.”

I’m guessing Rubio wants to fund some new program by the same federal government bankrupted by similar socialist programs.

Jonah Goldberg, one more reason I fled from the conservative movement like my hair was on fire.

Jonah,

What does it profit if a man gains the whole world and loses his soul?

You prefer “winning” politically over stopping the bloodshed and carnage of abortion? Ripping the limbs off of the unborn?

Indeed, you and your ilk have lost your souls.

point being, these people don’t have any respect for our Constitution or our Founders, or this nation. The Constitution is just a thing to be manipulated and used to institute their insane worldview.

This is why teaching a correct view of History and childhood curriculums are so important!

Odd logic.

But if we need to make a new third leg (the three leg rule being artificial, but okay), we suggest people are individuals, not races.

Buried in all that excessive wording was a valid point - Republicans/conservatives were basically united in opposing Roe. They will be less united in terms of what should replace it at the state level.

Anybody hear G W MORON come out of the woodwork to praise the overturn of Roe v. Wade? Or does he only come out to bash Trump? “He hurt Jeb’s feelings!”

Not quite, but, Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said

his philosophy is similar to that of Chief Justice John Roberts in terms of change. Roberts voted to uphold the Mississippi law that bans abortion at 15 weeks being considered in the Dobbs case but did not go as far as his conservative colleagues in voting to overturn Roe. “When you’ve got a precedent and society relies on it for a long period of time, there’s certain expectations that arise,” Gonzales said. “So, you know, it’s a jolt to our system.” He said there are sometimes reasons to overturn precedent if it is “simply unworkable” and unaccepted by society. He said the court seems to overturn precedent about once per year, so precedent is “very, very important,” which is the “jarring” part of the ruling.

Have these doomcriers with their ominous messages ever been right? About anything?

Goldberg wrote Liberal Fascism. Now he is one. TDS is a debilitating condition.

He also stole a title “Suicide of the West” which was used by James Burnham in the early 1960’s. Burnham’s essay is awesome, I heartily recommend it.
