As repellent as the Senate's lechery is its totalitarianism. Why is a party among high-school kids — all of whose parents win the award for "Dereliction of Duty" — from 30 years ago any of the federal government's business? How did a student's fondness for beer become fodder for the FBI? The quality and quantity of a substance a dependent consumes concerns only him, his caretakers and the Almighty. That we not only allow but expect our rulers to supervise habits this intimate proves how devoted we are to our chains. The Feds' incredibly long arm, stretching back three decades and elevating rowdiness among teens to serious crime, should terrify all of us. Terrify us so much, in fact, that we rid ourselves of these lascivious leeches.
On the other hand, perhaps such despotism explains why the Kavanaugh Krap mesmerizes its millions. Because government barges into even the most remote and private aspects of our lives, we instinctively if erroneously figure "our" guys had best be the ones doing so. We understand that our success no longer depends on our own initiative, diligence, wisdom or courage: rather, politicians and bureaucrats circumscribe at the least and at worst directly determine our fates. If we want to open a business, we must check whether our product or service violates any of their numerous proscriptions. When we buy a new home, we must budget for the extra expenses our political masters order. Should we fly cross-country to a dying mother, we must first run a gauntlet of federal perverts (whose sexual assault of us, by the way, never troubles for even a moment the senatorial scum hyperventilating over one teen's pawing of another). No wonder the potential victims of an unconstitutionally activist Supreme Court watch the Kavanaugh Karavan with baited breath.
Meanwhile, the politically conservative among those victims often defend Judge K. Why? Like all predators that high up the federal food-chain, he's a Swamp Critter. He's fed from the public trough his entire professional life except for three years — and then he consorted with political cronies at a law firm that openly brags about supplying "a number of ... lawyers for senior government positions." Canny Kavanaugh is not only happy but thoroughly at home in D.C.'s muck, an insider's insider who will never, ever upset the state's apple-cart.
Yes, you may sometimes applaud his decisions, especially the one he rendered in Heller v. D.C. But notice that this opinion never questions the state's authority to regulate and restrict our weapons despite the 2nd Amendment's clear prohibition of exactly that (our right to "to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed"). All appointed officials tacitly agree that while they dicker over the specifics of Leviathan's stranglehold on us, they will never challenge the propriety or constitutionality of that stranglehold. It is precisely because Kavanaugh venerates the State that the executive branch has nominated him for the Supreme Court.
So if you're awash in compassion for Kavanaugh after the Senate's salacious savaging, don't be. Redirect your sympathies to us, the taxpayers off which he sponges, the villeins against whom he upholds politicians' Marxist whims. Also remember that brutal, hand-to-hand combat between Dimocrats and Rethuglicans perpetuates the lie that they are two opposing teams rather than one united for a single purpose: our subjugation. Their man Kavanaugh comprehended, fully anticipated, and has duly acted his role in this charade.
Tragically, the Kavanaugh Kon distracted us from far more important and disturbing developments. For example, Defense News lamented, "Pentagon budget win eclipsed by Kavanaugh assault allegations." But the Pentagon's "win" is our staggering loss: Congress "overwhelmingly passed a $674 billion defense appropriations measure" that squanders yet more of our money on warriors who already outgun "the next 10 countries combined."
And the surveillance state continued to metastasize while Kavanaugh diverted us: passengers on San Francisco's subways "were surprised this week to see armed officers in bulletproof vests with Department of Homeland Security insignia patrolling trains and platforms. The officers from the Transportation Security Administration were partnering with BART police to prevent acts of terrorism..." Right. And there are oh, so many such "acts."
Back at the brothel, Sen. Lindsey Graham (Light in his Loafers-SC) damned the Kavanagh Kontortion as "the most unethical sham since I've been in politics." Ha! The "most unethical sham" is politics itself. But even more astoundingly, Graham "hope[s] the American people see through this sham."
So do I.
