What do you expect from soneome that spends a lot of time on NPR.

Keillor is jusr another bitter, has-been scumbag.
I thought he retired tears ago?
(Parenthesis are mine)
I'm waiting to read "Garrison Keilor Keiled over".
Keillor would make a great party official.
A Communist Party official.
I don't know if anyone commented on what Vanity Fair columnist Michael Wolff said on the Ron Insana show last weekend, but suffice to say that Keillor speaks for him too. They think Red Staters are too dumb to trust with public policy, and they deserve condescension if only to relieve the psyches of the elites.
Does anyone actually listen to or read this fool any more?

Rtkba does not distinguish. Expense and utility rather limit the possession of ICBMs among individual citizens.
GGGGRRRRRR!!!!!!!
Note to all you socialist @$$holes. There is not, nor was there ever, ANY social compact. I never signed one, and refuse to ever sign one. This statement makes my blood boil, and I've heard so many "progressives" talk about the "social compact" that it almost provokes me to violence.
YOU PUT THAT CONTRACT ON US, THE UNWILLING, AIDED AND ABETTED BY 40 YEARS OF PROPAGANDA FROM A WILLING MEDIA.
It is what is called in business law and unconscionable contract, essentially enforced at the point of a gun, and thus null and void. /rant off
i can't stand npr, national propaganda radio.
the nasal tone of the correspondents and their european manners remind me of trader joe's ads.
one thing american universities have excelled at is linking high brow tastes in food, clothes, + autos with liberal biases.
as in, "We will tolerate Chirstians, but they should not be allowed to vote, and the Ten Commandments must be removed from sight, and "Merry Christmas" will not be allowed in public".
...magnanimity...
as in, "We will tell you how much to contribute to the United Way, which discriminates against God-believing boy scouts, or you will lose your job, because we know what is best for you."
...community spirit...
As in, "The Glorious Democratic Party knows what is best for your community, so you'd better stop making waves about how you see right and wrong and accept who we sanction as being acceptable, and we don't care if 52% of the nation wants nothing to do with our ideas, they are just bigoted, Christian morons whom we should rule for their own good, because Goddess-knows, they are small-minded idiots."
...the defense of the weak against the powerful...
As in, Democratic congress people and Party Members defended Bill Clinton, a rich, powerful white guy, while he groped and abused women, (a minority,) ignoring possible rape charges that would have gotten a Republican thrown in jail without a trial.
...love of learning...
As in, "All mention of God must be driven out of the public schools, but we will have all mention of Scientology, Wicca, homosexual student groups, and other Democratic-sanctioned ideas, while gutting history texts of any mentions of the superiority of Western Culture, the Pilgrims real motives in coming to America, the Founders almost universal belief in America as a shining example of God's love and beacon for the world."
...freedom of belief...
If you are gay, or lesbian, or liberal, or Democrat, or anti-war, or Aztec, or Socialist, or hate George Bush. If you believe in Christ, shut up. If you think that a sin is a sin, shut up. If you want mention of why we were founded, shut up. If you think that sometimes we must stand up and stop dictators, shut up. If you think that sometimes right and wrong are clearly defined and real men must stand up and say no to evil, shut up.
...art and poetry.
Funded not by having to debase itself by paying for itself (Ugh! How common!) but by financing from the public till. Funded not by a patron, or the Church so that it will have to be pleasing, or attractive, or useful. Funded by my tax dollars, without my consent, without my approval, designed solely to titillate the Left, and to entertain people who realize that hey, people from Red States are morons.
I stand for [blue state] city life, the very things that make America worth dying for. (p. 20)
Not my city, mister. You could once peddle New York to New York, and say another thing to those rubes in the Midwest, but we have the Internet, and radio, and TV out here now. We know the narrow-minded, anti-tolerance, elitist Demcratic party for what they are. It is a good thing FDR isn't alive...people lie you would kill him. There hasn't been a living, breathing Democrat like the one you idolize in your book for thirty years. And your Party is too zombied to know that they are dead.
Ann fired him after his recent hateful monologue. She was a long-time fan.
He states, "You see welfare parents with their children and sometimes you want to grab the parents and shake them, they are so clueless and foul-mouthed and cruel, but you can’t, so you hope that the social workers in Child Protection have enough funding to keep up with their caseload. (p. 186)"
Problem #1 with welfare is that children become something people create to bring in an income and not because they want to love and care for them. Welfare creates child abuse, it doesn't solve it!
This doesn't describe any liberal I know. Except the part about "city life", whatever he means by that (I seem to recall a TV show from the '60s that mentioned that in it's theme song, something about Green Acres). Look at any liberal politician or political operative today and you'll see the antithesis of kindness, tolerance, magnanimity, etc. What you do see is hatred, intolerance, and bitterness. I don't know what hole in the plenum Keillor has been living in, but it isn't anywhere around here.
One wonders the following things about Mr Keillor:
1) What's his net worth? 2)how much does he send,over and
above what he's *required* to send,to the US Treasury? (for
it *is* possible,and legal,to "donate" $ to the US Gov't)
and 3)is his level of chartiable giving more in line
with the typical denizen of Massachusetts (MA being the
stingiest state in the nation) or more in line with
Mississippi (the most "generous" state)?
