• Ernst Janning: Judge Haywood… the reason I asked you to come: Those people, those millions of people… I never knew it would come to that. You must believe it, You must believe it!
• Judge Dan Haywood: Herr Janning, it “came to that” the first time you sentenced a man to death you knew to be innocent.

Judgement at Nuremburg 1961

11 years ago I was credentialed press at the Mitt Romney “victory” party in Boston. After the result became clear I was interviewed by French Radio concerning the result. One of the things I said in the interview is that we were no longer a single American culture but now two separate cultures living in the same country.

Nothing better illustrates this than What we’ve seen from the left in the last 10 days.

Consider: In the last 10 days we have had.

• Presidents of elite ivy colleges state that it’s a question of “context” if calling for the extermination of Jews on campus is against school policy.
• The Mayor of a major city hold and defend holding a segregated Christmas party
• Harvard having a Jewish group remove the menorah each night for fear it would be vandalized and the university’s reputation take a hit (what they can’t afford security)
• Students at various college campus in fear for their lives at their own schools
• Complete media silence on Americans being held hostage by terrorists
• A congressional staffer filming gay porn in the US capital
• An ivy league college tolerating plagiarism by their president (but not their students)
• Disruption of Christmas tree lightings all over the nation
• Large numbers of US students, and faculty publicly defending people currently holding Americans hostage.

There was a time not long ago when none of this would be tolerated by society. They would have been considered violations of common decency and such actions would have led to swift and immediate consequences.

But the truth is and has been for a decade that we no longer have a common decency. We have utility and Marxism and tribalism which means that all of these must be excused because those people practicing these things are on the left and for the left/media/educational/entertainment complex the cause is above all.

And for those who claim the same on the right, remind me which party expelled George Santos even through it shrunk their majority to a microscopic level.

I’m sure there are democrats who see the actions of Senator Carden’s staff member and never thought it would come to that.

Frankly it came to that when the party defended Bill Clinton getting blow jobs from interns and when they Democrat house didn’t expel Gary Studds, the first openly gay member of congress, for banging underage boys at the capital.

Cue Spencer Tracy and Burt Lancaster:

Eventually the left will discover that Kurt Schlichter warned them years ago: ”Liberals May Regret Their New Rules“
