Several people have told me I should turn down my heat in defense of Brett Kavanaugh. Y'all, I'm sorry, but I have little patience for a group of people willing to destroy an innocent man so they can keep killing kids. And that's exactly what this is about.— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) September 19, 2018
In a strange way, I'm grateful to Conservatives like Mr. Erickson for the clarity of their fanaticism. Thanks to their unstinting efforts over the course of many decades, I no longer feel constrained to see them as anything but enemy combatants in our very Cold Civil War. Their opinions are irrelevant to me. Their joys and sorrows are irrelevant. The tenets of their creepy, cultish perversion of Christianity is irrelevant.
They are not adult humans to be reasoned with so we can stop wasting our time pretending otherwise.
They are simply obstacles to be overcome.

Yeah, its a holy war, but its also just a war of aggression, for the sake of obtaining every kind of power. Nothing holy about that.
Funny how people often focus on the guy who hits back. The altright declared war on the rest of us in this last election, but somehow we are supposed to stay moderate.
No.
Not just no, Hell no!
A wonderful example of where America has lurched off to: the man who was unhappy because (paraphrased) 'They say that the Civil War was about ending slavery. The South was about so much more than slavery.' When asked to name 3 things the South was about (aside from slavery) he started to shit himself, and when the request was adjusted to just two things the South was about he began to stink. They got nothing, these people--nothing. They've been yammered to for years by volcanic cinder blocks on Hate Radio/Tantrum TV, but when they stroll two feet from their towels on the sand they can't find the ocean. No more discussion required.
Erick Erickson and peter Penis, Hew Hewitt all have something in common.
As EE states, " Y'all, I'm sorry, but I have little patience for a group of people willing to destroy an innocent man so they can keep killing kids. "
* "Y'all", Erick must know how Trump feels about people that talk with marbles in their mouths?
* His patience for his group to destroy the lives of very good women.
* Never having the patience to even find out the prevailing facts, evidence before pretending to act like a Kavanaugh and spitting out a judgement ruling before hearing the case.
* There are good people on BOTH SIDES when it comes to NAZIS and those who believe in freedom. But there is only one side when it comes to a accusation of sexual assault.
Just want to say, Erick is not going to gain following with the crowd that wears the T-Shirts with the print,
"I'd rather be a communist than a Democrat".
Most of all,
Erick needs to save a little bit of his impatience for long time big dollar donor/ republican campaign finance committee chairman Elliot Broidy.
Who found being wealthy and a republican can be so boring that he needed a mistress to go with his religious faith. When his mistress got pregnant. Paying for her to have an abortion wasn't a sin because he had plenty of money and he after all, is a republican JUST like Erick.
Besides, Reoublican Broidy only paid for the abortion. Not like he had one himself. His mistress chose to abort with Broidy's money. And that makes it different for the people as Erick Erickson, Broidy, Trump, Or Kavanaugh.
I end with a question to Erick put forth to Kavanaugh by Sen. Harris. "What restrictions have been placed on a man's body medically?
Should a man have to get a permission slip from his wife or mistress to fill a Viagra prescription? To obtain a Vesectomy?
I guess Erick got in line, down on his knees to give oral praise to Trump as he walks by. Erick was dating Ted Cruz during the election if I recall.
Uh, Erick? Women are human beings.
Just thought I should say that to you, not that I think you could understand it, but just so it has been said.

In regards to the modern GOP (paraphrasing a certain time traveller named Kyle):
They can't be bargained with, they can't be reasoned with...they don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely must be stopped starting this November because if not, they will kill us all.
And I don't want to hear jack-shit from the Privileged Purity Pals. Fuck all of you. Even as Trump and company continue to give democracy the business while bending it over the fence, you all still pull your petty bullshit about how you're not supporting Democrats unless they drop to their knees in front of the Vermont Saint. Christ, you all think this is still a goddamned game?!
And what they have in mind for us is orderly disposal.
Every word of that is so on point to the struggle before us that I want to quote it verbatim at every opportunity. As always DG thank you for putting my amorphous ideas into concrete prose.
