Patrick, even the most "impressive" resume matters naught at times.
In 2011, he received a degree in Classics with high honors from Harvard College, where he was managing editor of The Harvard Salient, competed on the sailing team, and served as chancellor of the Knights of Columbus council. In 2013, he was a Publius Fellow at the Claremont Institute. His work has been cited by, among others, Forbes, The Economist, The Week, and Real Clear Politics. He has appeared on Canada’s Sun News Network, Al Jazeera America, Mike Huckabee’s radio show, and other radio programs.
Does that explain his angle?
Gov Palin was great....this article is just another establishment story.
Pat must be the life of the party...the only guy in the room who didn’t get the joke
Another RINO libtard who takes himself way too seriously. It was a red meat punchline. To be taken literally only if you have an agenda.
Too Fing bad for the author of this article.
Ye she could be more diplomatic but let’s get something straight.
Islam is an inferior Third World religion there is no society on Earth it has benefited.
It is one of the most intolerant movements on Earth.
We are not going to survive by kissing their butts while they demolish Christian Churches and take people’s freedoms.
This whole concern with Islam is perverse. Damn straight the world would be better off if those lands are converted to Christianity.
So he’s a jejune prig? Why does NR specialize in this brand of editor? I guess I get it, by the clone theory of hiring, there’s a nest of them there and they just keep attracting more of the same.
Jeesh!
Thank God we have Ivy League elites to tell us what ordinary Americans think about things.
This article tells us more about National Review than it does about Sarah Palin.
Patrick, even the most "impressive" resume matters naught at times.
Water board Patrick Brennan.
Sarah Palin soldiers on as a diminished figure in the Republican Party
Shuuush listen can you hear.... i.e. Willaim Buckley turning in his grave..
National Review has be Sodomized..
Disgusting statement on Palin’s part. Clearly she has given up any idea of participation in serious conversation, having opted to toss chunks of red meat to yahoos. This isn’t statesmanship; it’s self-parody as performance art.
He's welcome to greet that remark with grim seriousness and outrage but he risks looking like a humorless dork in doing so. Point, Palin, IMHO.
The word “baptism” has long been used in a wide variety of contexts that have nothing to do with the Christian sacrament of baptism, and no one ever said that these usages were perverse or sacrilegious. For example, you might read about a soldier: “My baptism in combat occurred on just the third day of my tour, when we were ambushed by insurgents just outside of Fallujah.” Or in a football game you might hear: “Smith’s injury will bring in Jones, the redshirt Freshman quarterback who will have a baptism under fire here in the fourth quarter with the game on the line.”
It’s called “a joke.”
How far the mighty have fallen...
Islam makes barbarism look genteel. What’s this guys problem?
I’ll probably get flamed for this, but a lot of the National Review conservatives - and maybe some of the Palin critics on this thread - still defend the dropping of atomic bombs on civilians during WWII, and that in my view is far more un-Christian than Palin’s lame comment about baptism. (By the way, I already know the atomic-bomb-saved thousands-of-lives argument - and reject it - so don’t bother. I also figure that Palin would also defend the use of the atomic bomb, but that is not my point, either.)
