oops she bought a hat 5 sizes toooooo small now she has to wear it every day
If I wanted I could sit with a pen, paper and calculator and list the liberties and income this man has cost me directly. My loses are not insignificant.
But they could have returned him in 2012 and did not. One time I might forgive but twice?
And I don’t think Noonan has ever made a proper mea culpa for her stupidity in endorsing Mr First Rate Temperament.
“But the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel. And they said, ‘No! But there shall be a king over us, that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.’” (I Samuel 8:19-20 ESV)
Nonsense. If one is able to write and re-write history, and teach it in classrooms, and broadcast it on mass media, and make movies that support it, turn the hook around and put it right through the throat of the side that was wronged in the first place.
“Kids a hundred years hence are going to learn that this generation screwed up.”
Well, don’t look at me. I never voted for him. 57.5% of voting age population even bothered to vote and 50.9% voted for him. So, only 29% of those who could vote, voted for him. They screwed up. (42.5% didn’t vote: they screwed up too.)
It’s pretty obvious why his parents abandoned him. They didn’t want him around either.
I watched Obama speak the other night. I thought, “Oh! He’s giving us ‘The Old Smooth Act!’” I’ve seen that act dozens of times by people of every color and from both sexes. Some people do The Old Smooth Act when they are in trouble and are trying to explain the trouble away so they can go and do what they want instead of doing their job. I have to admit, Obama put on one of the best performances of The Old Smooth Act that I have ever seen.
My response to Obama’s act is the same I had for everyone who tried to pull The Old Smooth Act on me.
“Save that bulls**t for someone else and get back to work or I’ll replace you with someone who will work.”
Very good read. Enjoyed the parallels to Coleridge
There is no “buyer's remorse”. None.
Just the other day there was an article saying that all the Wall Street big money was lining up behind Hillary. You know, the guys who are shoveling $75,000 to Chelsea for a 45 minute speech.
Some may have shaken off their blinders, but the vast majority of other “elites” remain completely incapable of discernment and reason. I believe they are divinely blinded. They have willingly exchanged the truth for a lie and now are being given over to the their “rewards”. They are, and will continue to, reap what they have sown, and the average American is merely collateral damage.
The elite have all they need, and more. Tom Steyer, Warren Buffett, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Bill gates Sr., AlGore, et., al., all have their billions so they don't care about anything or anyone other than protecting what they got - with complete disregard of the collateral damage to America.
The “journalists” who are now admitting they were wrong, not just wrong but stupidly so, no doubt expect that Americans will continue reading their stuff and giving them the credence they assume they still have. Like the others, she squandered all the goodwill with conservatives, and her credibility, by first attacking Sarah Palin then supporting Obama. Clearly she voted with the air in her head coupled with her withered lady parts.
Noonan feared the loss of her status among the “Brie & Chardonnay” crowd of the Beltway elites more than the compromising of her Reagan era credibility/principles. She backed a stone Marxist! Good Lord Peggy...what were you thinking? Now...Atonement.
Good article. I’d pass it along to my Obama-voting co-workers, but they would probably read one line and go back to looking at cat pictures.
What ever happen to Chris Buckley? I haven’t heard of him since his glowing support for Dumbo in 2008.
Peggy Noonan is a well-spoken moron. I give no quarter to anyone who voted for this puke in 2008, save for the extremely low IQ people and the senile.
It’s just another example of how so many of these so-called high class intelectual pundits are nothing more than a bunch of idiots. For example how about that writer named Brooks who declared Obama to be presidential because of the crease in his pants or schmuck Chris Mathews getting a thrill up his leg.
born off the continent? Was Noonan saying what I think she was saying?
