Spiliakos’s Devastating “Point 2”

Don’t let Pete’s title fool you below. He has this “point 2” innocuously presented as some “thoughts” on “other things,” which turns out to be one of the most devastating indictments of contemporary liberalism you’ll ever read. It absolutely destroys the idea that there is anything pro-choice about a right to have one’s abortions or contraceptives paid for, and reveals the hypocrisy behind the current whining on campaign finance: “Progressives are against well funded media power – unless it is the New York Times .”

Seriously, “point 2” deserves to become as famous as “footnote 4” of the U.S. v. Carolene Products Company case.
