      Is there a liberal policy position where you hear the phrase, "Today is not the time to talk about X"?

          Closest thing I could think of is when a bad abortion doctor like Kermit Gosnell gets caught.

          I am still sometimes sympathetic to anti-abortion arguments when stuff like that comes up.

            Except anti abortion laws get talked about and passed all the farking time. What was the last noteworthy gun control law? The Brady bill?

              And most anti abortion laws get struck down in the courts.

                Yep. All for life until they're born, but if they grow up to commit a crime, fry their ***. Or if they get caught in the crossfire of a madman, there's nothing we can do to prevent that.

                  I got about ten paragraphs in when the pure stench of this dreck overwhelmed me. It's as if somebody warmed over a think piece from NR written in 1975. All of this is the CW of the people who thought Ronald Reagan was transformative. Evidently, they still exist, and they have learned, literally, nothing in 40+ years.

                  Check out his other "contributions." He's just another one of the Useful Idiots of the Weekly Standard set, dutifully regurgitating righty talking points to try to give conservatives an intellectual fig leaf to cover their empty ideology. He is the antithesis of this thread.

                  At least Buckley was bright.

                    Still sounds like we're able to talk about it, unlike gun control.

                      This is the literal thread. We can, legally, talk about gun control.

                        Literally, I have never heard anyone say, "now is not the time to talk about abortion laws."

                            Or a Muslim Ban. Or a respect the flag/anthem orgy. Or a build the wall barbecue. Those things never stop.

                                Kuwait. Listening to the radio in 1991, I heard "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood every day.
