Welcome to the VDH ping list.

Go here for his articles posted on FR and here to his own website or here for his archive at NRO.

The goal justifies the means....

I've seen it somewhere -- like Lenin and Stalin come to mind...

[King Prout]

the man never fails to deliver.

I agree - and while they're whining that nobody told them .. GOD will be running the film showing how many times they were told the truth - but CHOSE not to believe it.

Everybody gets to choose.

VDH bump!

[prognostigaator]

bump it

[FierceDraka]

... if you listen to Dr. Dean and his class venom, it hardly seems comparable with how he lives or how he was brought up. John Kerry's super power boat, Teresa Kerry's numerous mansions, Arianna Huffington's gated estate, George Soros's jet, Ted Turner's ranches, Sean Penn's digs — all this and more, whether fairly or unfairly, suggest hypocrisy and insincerity...

I've often said that any liberal who doesn't give everything but what they need to survive to the less fortunate, is nothing but a lying hypocrite. Sounds like VDH and I are of the same mind on that subject.

Thanks for the ping. He just put the 'Rats in front of the firing squad. But, since the squad is made up, primarily of the MSM, even the bullets are dummies.

With the title of the thread, I thought that clinton's had killed someone else.

[righttackle44]

't's why he's called America's professor.

[TomServo]

Bump!

[randog]

A Democratic "minority" appointment to a cabinet post at education or housing is one thing; a Republican belief that the best candidates for secretary of state, national security advisor, and attorney general are incidentally minorities is quite another.

Ahem....Jocelyn Elders?

[juggernaut]

OUTSTANDING! VDH is OUTSTANDING!

I agree. He has a great article in this month's Commentary Mag.

[Bullish]

Problem is.... He reveals too much.

Hopefully, the dems won't wise up until it's too late to save their abysmal party.

[kAcknor]

In plain, simple words, VDH boils down all the argle-bargle about the Democrats'incredible shrinking relevance.

Let's hope they don't listen ...

With all due respect to the feeling of gratification for a political victory, I hope they DO listen. The United States is fighting itself in many ways.

"When we see Democrats speaking and living like normal folks -- expressing worry that the United States must return to basic education and values to ensure its shaky preeminence in a cutthroat world, talking of one multiracial society united by a rare exceptional culture of the West rather than a salad bowl of competing races and tribes, and apprising the world that we are principled abroad in our support of democratic nations and quite dangerous when attacked -- they will be competitive again."

Great words, and true. Looking past politics, it's what we need.

3,000,000 votes?

Hmmm, paraphrasing a bit; -- Those who score in the lowest quarter in logic, grammar & humor tests THINK they are way 'above average' in those categories..

No, but it explains the modern Democratic party. :-O

Cheers!

The only way this country will survive is if we exterminate liberalism. We cannot accommodate it or appease it. We cannot work with its disciples; they have no morals upon which to build a platform of mutual understanding. You can't negotiate cancer away.

So whatever contributes to the demise of liberalism -- in this case the utter hubris of its practicioners -- is one more stone in the road of redemption for America. It's nothing new to have to fight enemies within.

[mondonico]

2%?
