President Barack Obama Briefly Worried That His Unaccountable, Murderous Power Might Fall Into Republican Hands<\/a><\/p>\n

The immense and insufferable hubris of the Left is nowhere more clearly on display than when it regards itself as naturally anointed, by its assumed superiority of brains and morals, to have the obvious right of deciding the life and death of innocents.\u00a0 It has done this for 40 years with unborn babies.\u00a0 Why should anybody be surprised that it takes exactly the samea approach to innocents abroad.\u00a0 The problem, for the Left, is not raw, unaccountable power to commit cold-blooded murder on the unquestioned will of a king.\u00a0 It is merely with the prospect that the King might be a conservative who does not wield the power to cull the herd in ways suitable to the Left.<\/p>\n

This sort of insufferable arrogance is everywhere on the Left<\/a>\u00a0and is only made all the more insufferable (in addition to all the, you know, murder and mayhem it licenses) by the fact that Lefties are often rather stupid while they worship, but do not use, their intellects. Mike Flynn, for instance, takes apart that silly bit of self-congratulation <\/a>from our Murdeous Superiors.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
