Like a Roaring Lion

It is not actually all that pleasing to see the tactical nihilism of the Left collapsing back toward the absolute nihilism that has always used ideologues suborned by greed, lust, and the will to power as its catspaw:

Over at Slate, Amanda Marcotte thinks it’s absolutely hilarious that Satanists are challenging abortion restrictions on religious liberty grounds, seeking to expand abortion access. She argues this somehow makes conservative use of religious liberty laws “a little more complicated.” […] I suspect this effort — if it ever gets to court – would stumble on the state’s acknowledged interest in protecting what the Supreme Court has called the “potential life” of even non-viable unborn children. Yet even if the Satanists win, there would be something . . . incredibly appropriate about the pro-abortion Left wrapping its arms around Satan in the quest to preserve abortion on demand.

Not pleasing, but hardly surprising.  When a faction cheers the willful destruction of the innocent, you can guess what spirit animates their assemblies.

But this is not a winning choice.

And were this world all devils o’er,
and watching to devour us,
we lay it not to heart so sore;
they cannot overpower us.
And let the prince of ill
look grim as e’er he will,
he harms us not a whit;
for why? his doom is writ;
a word shall quickly slay him.
