Classic Countermoonbattery From Gerard Baker

Hats off to Gerard Baker for his eloquent countermoonbattery:

The unhinged reaction from the left to Kyle Rittenhouse’s acquittal last week is easily dismissed as a glimpse into the rancid minds and rabid hearts of the ideological brigands of modern progressivism.

Glimpses of the festering pustules that serve moonbats as souls are jarring enough. Still more disturbing are the implications for our system of government, considering that these people are in charge.

In the minds of the ranting radicals of the Squad or MSNBC, dimly repeated by the president, these so-called rights—presumption of innocence, due process, trial by jury, proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, etc., are not the bedrock legal protections against overweening authority the Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence has deemed them to be. In the minds of the regnant left when they find the defendant unsympathetic, they are inconveniences, fetishized excrescences of judicial process that obstruct and subvert the larger and more important objective of social justice. In this increasingly popular account on the left, they are the armor with which the capitalist white supremacists protect their hegemony. As such they can be dismissed.

Behind their senile tool Biden — “the consummate moral weakling” — the radicalized Democratic Party constitutes the most serious threat American freedom has ever faced.

And so people like House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler, the Democratic congressman, his own intellectual vacuity helpfully filled in by Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe, can demand that Mr. Rittenhouse face further prosecution under spurious civil-rights precepts designed to undo the principle of double jeopardy.

It took many centuries to develop the liberties that made American greatness possible. If we allow human garbage like Biden and Nadler to destroy them, it may take centuries before they are restored — if they ever are.

On a tip from Varla.
