But, we were told it HAD to be a white male heterosexual Tea Party Bible-thumping gun owner with a pressure cooker!
Wolf Blitzer (CNN) would NEVER lie!
Chris Matthews (MSNBC) would NEVER lie!
Salon.com even PRAYED for it to be a white guy!
Stay drunk, Susan. But you don’t need me to tell you that...
It’s effective on the sheep. Thats all that matters. AS a former reporter/editor, I assure you, when its done well, people empathize with about anything you tell them.
The press is more powerful than many think. Because many DON’T think.
Sorry, didn’t mean to claim anything like intent on your part.
There are a great many similar quotations floating around attributed to one or another of the Founders. Many of them came up during the Cold War, when anti-communists were trying to get moral backing for their cause.
The giveaway in this one is that it just doesn’t fit the period when TJ and the others were alive. This was before the invention of the welfare state and governments didn’t “give” things to their people, they took them. None of the political issues of the early country had much of anything to do with “giving” people more welfare. There was no such thing as welfare.
So why would TJ say something against governments that promise a lot of stuff? There were no such governments.
This is amazing. For someone so clueless to actually tell us the clues she is missing...
(Or in her case, an act of mercy)
And by defending borders, I mean not only constructing a fence across our southern border, but also stopping the awarding of easy legal status to persons from countries that have proved to be our enemies. Like say, Chechnya...Saudi Arabia...Somalia...
That this article saw release tells me that the left has lost control of their creation...not that they ever had it. They thought to use islam to tear down the western structure. Now they UNEXPECTADLY!!!fear their dhimmitude is not enough to pacify the beast/
I’m shocked.
Interesting... I didn't know Tsarist Russia was a threat all those years ago. Learn something knew every day.
Yeah - Ivan The Terrible was pretty scary. BTT.
This seems to be true for many lefty writers ... they know the power points, but utilize them for evil and un-American ways.
Good one !
Lets ask her how much freedom she would be willing to give up if someone like....oh, I dunno... George Bush was in charge?
If that’s a whole ‘nother issue, Estrich, then you need to learn that no, its THE issue.
You read dead’s book, didntcha?
Most mainstream leftist writers studied propaganda in great depth. They know most of the tricks. honesty takes a backseat to agenda in all cases.
Many of the reporters I worked with were great at propaganda and did not even care about the truth. They went in to a story with an agenda and wrote said story according to the principles of ‘social justice.
And this was at an area paper/media group, not one of the majors. So you can imagine how things work at the highest levels.
All together ... “Hiii John”
Well, Susan, would you submit to having government officials search your home on occasion, just to ensure you're not harboring unsavory people, keeping offensive documents, downloading distasteful photos or eating unhealthy foods?
Are you OK with having a GPS placed on your vehicle to ensure you're driving "safely" and not exceeding the number of miles the local commissars are willing to allot to you on a daily basis? Does the idea of living in a "sustainable habitat" such as a small apartment in a highrise in which every activity -- inside your apartment and out -- is monitored via video camera?
I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who claim to be American, yet would oh-so-readily surrender their God-given freedom in exchange for some perceived increase in security. During the era of the Taliban, Afghanistan had no shortage of "security." Ditto for Pol Pot's Cambodia, Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Soviet Union. "Security" was never in short supply there... you were deemed to be property of the State.
I knew, before I got one sentence into the article, that since this was obviously a “Me! Me! Me!!” article, that subject would come up. And I owe it to our dear friend, dead.
“It was an act of mercy.”
“What did you say?”
“I have a new house in Jersey.”
From 1999 - "Hannity & Colmes II":
COULTER: Susan, your hypocrisy is absolutely breathtaking. Are you suggesting that we should ignore a video tape of the president raping the wife of the vice president in the oval office?
ESTRICH: I’m saying….this is a matter between the president, the first lady, and the vice president. I mean, if Al Gore can forgive him, why do you still want to punish him? I mean, he gave her ice! How much more contrition does he have to show?
COULTER: I hate to be blunt, Susan, but you make me absolutely sick to my stomach. How can you call yourself a feminist with a straight face?
ESTRICH: Well Ann, I am sincerely sorry if my ability to see beyond these right-wing distractions upsets your stomach. I find it so amusing that we feminists, who used to be attacked for hating men, are now attacked for loving one man unconditionally. I had breakfast this morning with Patricia Ireland and Gloria Steinhem, and we all agreed that if we were married to Al Gore, a fat lip and a broken collar bone would be a small price to pay for a little fun with Clinton. And Pat’s a lesbian for goodness sakes!
HANNITY: I can’t believe what I am hearing Susan. You called for Clarence Thomas to be kept off the Supreme Court because he allegedly used dirty words, now you have no problem with a president who rapes?
ESTRICH: Sean, first of all, let me state that I do not support rape. You know, I was a rape victim myself.
LEVIN: (muttering) That was an act of mercy.
ESTRICH: What did you say, Mark!?
LEVIN: I said, “I have a house in Jersey.”
ESTRICH: Oh. Sean, as I was saying, I don’t support rape. It’s just that we need to move on. Where is this going? The president, in response to this never ending barrage of trumped up charges, has already self-pardoned himself for all crimes, now and in the future. The American people unequivocally support that self-pardon...
