I’m not the right person to challenge Trump and Hillary... (David French)
National Review ^ | June 5, 2016 | David French

Posted on 06/05/2016 6:01:54 PM PDT by PJ-Comix

Here is a sentence I never thought I’d type: After days of prayer, reflection, and serious study of the possibilities, I am not going to run as an independent candidate for president of the United States.

I gave it serious thought — as a pretty darn obscure lawyer, writer, and veteran — only because we live in historic times. Never before have both parties failed so spectacularly, producing two dishonest, deceitful candidates who should be disqualified from running for town council, much less leader of the free world.

"nations are built on virtue — and courage is indispensable. But there is also prudence"

A very typical leftist tactic/version of saying "A equals A, but also, there is B, so, A equals B." It's rhythm is nice, it sounds deep .... lovely elegant phrasing. Absolute, 100% bullsh*t.

But I can't really call it a tactic ... because they outwit themselves by their own tactics, and come to be the only ones faked out by themselves.

One thing I can say ... Nations are built more by rejecting the outright irrational, than on courage. Courage is only required when the mob is irrational.

French is mob. Or, A equals A.

I think that song was in a Tarantino film. Inglorious Bastards, Pulp Fiction, or maybe both. :)

I read "God And man At Yale" when I was a very young.

The book in one hand, the dictionary in the other...lol

“Democracy can itself be as tyrannical as a dictatorship, since it is the extent, not the source, of government power that impinges on freedom."

― William F. Buckley Jr. God and Man at Yale: The Superstitions of 'Academic Freedom'

“Never before have both parties failed so spectacularly, producing two dishonest, deceitful candidates who should be disqualified from running for town council, much less leader of the free world.”

And you, Mr. “Incredible Candidate,” are an idiot, a loser, and completely unable to ascertain the times call for someone with Trump’s approach.

Go cry in your crib. Maybe your mommy has some nice warm milk for you.

It is really amazing to see how clueless kristol and french and the rest of them are about reality.. No matter how educated people are they can not seem to improve on their common sense..

“and will never again be a credible conservative voice.”

National Review has already achieved that distinction. It’s just adding icing to that cake.

It couldn't be worse . . .

Even WFB's ghost would have caught that typo immediately.

>>>What a graceless opus Mr. French offered up...<<<

I’m shamed before the ghost of my hero...lol

I miss Buckley....

He wrote some great novels too..

I never missed Firing Line as a kid.

My folks would say “Why do you watch that silly show?”

Some of them are up on youtube.
