Mercy, such a screed as must have the masters of seeth veritably seething in their MSNBC fake oyster bars. I especially liked “their snowflake specialness.”
And that's just it...there will never be a perfect world. Because humans are highly imperfect and incapable of perfection. But that won't stop the deranged liberals from seeking the unobtainable. They seek a reason for their existence. They'll never find it. But their unending rage at the failure of their fellow citizens to create the impossible i.e. heaven on earth keeps them going.
Greenfield ROCKS!
An extra-good one this week!
“Strip down MSNBC to its skivvies and you find an angry NPR.”
Just perfect. Nails it.
Excellent! One of the best explanations of the current “liberal mindset” I have read in a while! Well done!
In the mind of every lib lives the grandiose notion that they’re morally, ethically, socially etc etc etc etc etc superior. That is, they’re your better and deserve to micro-mange your life w/o consent. I think the anger is all about not being recognized as the bastion of superior they perceive themselves to be. They don’t want to actually say it (although it’ll slip out from time to time) but want you to quickly come to the reality you’re a worm in need of their special Michael Angelo God’s touch from heaven to put you right. It galls them when you won’t or don’t grovel at their feet.
Yep, the angry NPR description was perfect. The oyster bar thing was good, but only good the first, maybe the first two times....
One of the best writers I’ve ever read.
Day after day Daniel Greefield writes columns of such quality that it’s hard to believe they’re written daily and not weekly.
He really should be more well known than he is.
I suppose he’s simply not interested in marketing himself the way someone like Ann Coulter does.
The quality of his writing is astounding.
And no matter how astounding I find today’s column I know he’ll do it AGAIN tomorrow.
> It’s not the kind of yelling that unemployed men do when they get a call from the bank telling them that there will be no loan modification. It’s the prissy raised voices you hear at Starbucks when the Chris Hayes lookalike is shocked to be told that the java isn’t locally sourced and that if he doesn’t like that he can take his MacBook Air and finish his Great Unamerican Novel in some other coffee shop with free Wi-Fi.
Great writing skills...made me chuckle...lol
The great fallacy of the left is that government can be better than persons. They fail to acknowledge the corruptive influence of power and especially government power. “WE” are not government. “WE” are individuals striving (or not) to live our lives with as little control by others as possible.
^ wasn’t meant sarcastically. Meant that was a great line...
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent
The imagery evokes a sense of mindless wandering in pursuit of shallow meaning and pleasure, leading toward an unwelcome end.
Regardless, the article itself is perfectly evocative of the barely-concealed rage against life that boils behind the eyes of so many at MSNBC.
Just so. It is the reason why "progressivism" inevitably ends in totalitarianism. Like cancer, addiction, and other progressive fatal diseases it has no stop mechanism.
Anger, annoyance, fury and mindless rage are the universally recognized and emblematic features OF Liberalism.
Don’t believe it?
Just try to have a ‘conversation’ with a Liberal!
“Mister, it is easy to be full of rage. It is not easy to go to work and build something.” Eric Hoffer
Greenfield is too soft on them.
Oh, I get the Oyster Bar reference. My only quibble, and it’s very very minor, is that I got it the first five times it was used.....but yes, it is indeed spot on.
I have yet to find a piece by “The Sultan” that is not a work of art. This guy can *write*!!
It’s not just the ability to paint a picture with words, but the message is always spot on as well.
That was delicious.
