In other words, Steven King has a new collection of short stories coming out in the first half of January, so he has to ‘till the soil’ just a little bit now.

Jon Carry said almost the exact same thing.

He has come up with some interesting ideas for stories but I suspect he may be mentally deranged to a degree at least.

Old hippies like King don’t die.
They just smell that way.

Too late, the liberal punk should stick to writing stories.

I live in Maine, and I’m still waiting for Stephen King to apologize for donating money to “gun control” groups here in The Pine Tree State shortly after Sandy Hook.

People in Maine love their firearms. A military supply store heavily advertised on the radio for their day after Christmas one day sale. AR-15s for “less than $599.” All other firearms fifty dollars above cost.

King is a moonbat’s moonbat.

Shorter translation of King’s statement:

“I accidentally said what I really think.”

Steven King was just honest in how most liberals feel about the military.
Lately, liberals know that it is not fashionable to knock the average serviceman, so they pretend to like them. However, that does change how they truly feel about them.

...”The author lamented, “No. That was just a case of misspeaking and also having one of those brain cramps that you realize that you’re no longer living in the world that you grew up in...If I could take one remark back, that would be the one.”....

Stephen should be commended for admitting he was wrong. My hope is that he has now lived long enough to begin to “see the lion and hear the owl,” regarding the times we live in and the familiar strains we are hearing from the past about where we are recklessly heading. Our military and our police keep us free. If and when they are corrupted by the outrageous attempts at political correctness, which is simply a communist takeover plan, we will be finished as a free nation. I see lots of hatred in our leaders against those who do not want revolution in America..I pray God will touch their hearts and heal them so that we, meaning all races, can some together, not to steal from one another, but to teach one another how to live to ensure freedom and opportunity for all. And, to allow recognition for those who sacrifice to put in the time and effort, our military being an example, to become educated in the skills society needs to survive. We do not need more talkers in our leadership..We need people with real skills to do the work required to keep our nation going. The return of our freedoms as outlined in our Constitution and the return of common sense would be the most positive thing which could happen. It would also be great if authors, such as Stephen King, would write about those who have such virtues. Glamorize them a bit, rather than to always royalize the Hollywood rich and famous who have had their part in the downfall of America. Pop culture could use a few common folks, Stephen, and writing a griping story about some military heroes is just the place to start.

I never knew he said this before now, and since he has apologized, I’ll ignore it.

If we don’t accept apologies, people will stop making them.

I'll give him a pass - he was talking to kids on the importance of getting an education and chose an inapt example (but many who don't get the education do in fact end up in the Army and in some overseas hellhole - right along with those who did well in school and enlisted out of patriotism (or for the cheap route to higher degrees for later in their careers).

I spent 24 years in uniform (AF) and 15 more years working with those in uniform - it's no secret that over the years, many ended up in the military because they didn't prepare for civilian careers.

King should be sorry for not having the original thought...stealing from JohnF’nKerry.

While King can spin a good yarn, his writing style and language use are about that of a seventh grader.
