They are at it again, the Con Inc. crowd that never met a conservative they didn’t dislike. The latest specimen of this lame species is some total rando who The Bulwark – of course – decided to highlight. He was a GOP consultant-class flunky and you don’t know his name – I don’t know his name, either – who has decided to announce to a waiting world that he is leaving the Republican Party because … wait for it … of the Dobbs decision. Yeah, the guy is mad because, under Donald Trump, the Republican Party achieved its goal of about half a century of overturning Roe v. Wade. Leave it to these invertebrate losers to take a tough moral stand against winning.

The loser marquee used to feature bigger names. Once, Jonah Goldberg mattered. He wrote some books that did not suck. Once, people read David French. He was mediocre, but some people liked his brand of generic Republipap with a side of the tedious moralizing of John Lithgow in Footloose. And there was once a time when Bill Kristol – whose characterization of my conservative action novels as “appalling” is such a great advertisement that I use it as a blurb – edited what was then considered a conservative magazine, The Weekly Standard. But it’s gone now, the cruise ship conservatives’ Love Boat having sunk beneath the waves of new media without so much as some bobbing flotsam or jetsam to mark its passage into oblivion.

These goobers left us, and good riddance. It was so easy for them to depart from what they had allegedly believed and what they had, in their own feminine way, tried to fight for, that it’s reasonable to assume they never actually believed in anything. Five seconds don’t go by without one of these geebos tweeting about Muh Principles, but, as a rule of thumb, if you can turn on a dime, it was never much of a principle to begin with.

Now,........
