Episode Details

Can Leftism get crazier?

I ask the question, but by now we all know the answer.

Of course it can.

Leftism always finds another floor beneath the basement.

My youngest son asked his mother and me about the Lindsay Clancy case.

He couldn’t believe that eleven jurors reportedly wanted to find Clancy not guilty—and that one man refused to go along.

One sane man.

One human roadblock between accountability and collective insanity.

My son was stunned.

My wife, being the legal beagle in our family, immediately explained the technical issue. The question wasn’t whether Clancy killed her children. She admitted strangling all three of them.

The question was whether postpartum psychosis made her incapable of understanding that what she did was wrong.

That may matter legally. But morally, three children are still dead.

My wife, my son and I eventually arrived at the same place: whether Lindsay Clancy belongs in prison or a psychiatric institution, she does not belong anywhere that pretends this didn’t happen.

You can call her mentally ill.

You can call her psychotic.

You can call her overmedicated.

But you cannot call Cora, Dawson and Callan back to life.

That’s what gets lost in this discussion.

The children have become supporting characters in the story of the woman who killed them.

Don Jr. tweeted that civilization won’t be saved by a collection of medicated crazy cat ladies and weak men who needed a group hug after a mother sent her husband out of the house and strangled their three children.

Civilization, he said, is saved by the one person who refuses to sign the permission slip.

Crude?

Sure.

But was he wrong?

Eleven people reportedly wanted consensus.

One man wanted accountability.

Everybody else apparently needed emotional closure. He needed the deaths of three children to mean something.

Kevin Jackson has been called, the "white-collar" Joe Rogan. Given their similar backgrounds in TV, comedy, and martial arts, it's easy to see why people enjoy Kevin's show so much.
