The woman who coined the term Crony Capitalism comes out in support of the man who made Crony Capitalism into an art form.
Man a lot of squealing voices today in the media...
So instead we should vote for Bush or Kaisch?
Whatever else you think about this essay, the following is worth remembering:
“Ours is an age in which politics and entertainment are melted together without opposition or disfavor; a silly, self-indulgent, shallow age in which Kanye West thinks he can be the president of the United States and the president of the United States thinks he can be Kanye West.”
Maybe, despite so many “explanations” that don’t, Gov. Palin knows what she’s doing....
National Review pays double for insulting both Trump and Palin supporters.
Triple if the rationale is vacuous!
The Tea Party is merely a voting bloc with a shared mindset. It remains unchanged even if one of its more prominent members decided to cash out her chips and walk away from the effort.
“Alas, there is no grand principle on display here. There is nothing but opportunism and ego. For a long time now, Sarah Palin has been apt to say anything and everything to keep the cameras buzzing around her hive. This rotten endorsement completes the decline.”
Ouch
Charles CW Cooke
He has two middle names, so I guess we better listen to him
I just watched the The Big Short last night. My TEA is brewing hot right now. I recommend it to Trumpsters and Cruzers alike.
This article reads like it is right out of 1980. As if the country at this time can handle a debate about Hayek...
Cooke seems to miss the entire point of his own essay. Entertainment and politics have merged. Obama is regularly a guest on “reality” shows (a laugher because he lives in a fantasy world).
Despite this, we are fortunate to have a very popular candidate who actually talks about the serious issues we are facing: immigrations, Islamic invasion, and a dead economy. And it is a tremendous ASSET that he has a background as an entertainer. (Hmm, haven’t we seen that before?)
Donald trump LED on these issues. They are being debated because HE BROUGHT THEM UP and put them in prime time.
You’d think the woe-is-me, sky-has-fallen Cooke would get on board with this. Instead, for whatever reason, he chooses to write defeatist ‘essays’ that lecture his readers.
Thankfully, not all of us are ready to roll over and die like Cooke. Some of us would rather have a fighting chance to save the country. Right now, the only candidate who sees the election in those terms is Donald Trump. And, more importantly, he has the attention of the public, who sees is that way, too.
Cooke is symptomatic of National Review in general. Lost, adrift, flagging, unsteady, cowardly, and pompous without a requisite intellect to pull it off tastefully.
Sour grapes, lots of sour grapes in that whine. Oh and tears.
The DNC is comprised almost entirely of lawyers. If conservatives are more likely to come from different walks of life, I think that says something positive. JMHO.
Stopped reading where author calls Palin dumb.
Sarah Palin, brought to you by John McCain.
