"Smart sixteen" bump!

I see a speechwriting potential here. That "...maybe Gore was talking about Soros" fragment is good. If she's only 16, she ought to be given a good apprenticeship with, say, somebody like Peggy Noonan.

[Kaslin]

I refer to these type of liberals as left wingers

Bill Gates? I thought he was on our side.

[Mark in the Old South]

Mighty fine writing for a 16 year old kid. This one has a future.

[longtermmemmory]

Gates was probably one of those tortured kids who ran to the teacher for help.

Now he runs to the government to tattle.

"They elected John McCain and got a psychotic with an interminable identity crisis."

Well written article. "Psychotic" may be a little strong, but "interminable identity crisis" is a lovely phrase and RIGHT ON.

I am very impressed.

Indonesia was one country Soros ruined, had a Indonesian roommate at college at the time. In less than a month's time his countries currency lost something like 70% of it's value thanks to Soros and he was worried he could no longer afford to go to school in the States. We are talking millions of lives affected like that or worse.

What Soros does isn't capitalism. He doesn't make money, he only redistributes it, mostly to himself.

They don't make liberals like they used to be. And the liberals are all running down the cliff competing with themselves to see who can be the most wacko. We Republicans on the on the hand, try to show our own kooks the door when the occasion presents itself.

Anyone who can write on the topic, "The Difference Between Liberals and Democrats" as well as this is quite good. To be able to do so at 15 marks one as extremely promising.

Substantively, the issue is to accurately and without arrogance describe liberals. Liberals don't lead, they do not take risks, and they try to take credit for anything good and evade responsibility for anything bad. Liberals second-guess the people who do take risks in order to get things done. That's why liberals are such natural journalists and such poor presidents.

Liberals lord it over the little guy and kowtow to the rich, the powerful, and the violent. They will trample the symbol which the Christian considers sacred, and they will recoil in horror - actually, cower in fear - at the idea of applying the same standards to Muslims or Communists that they apply to Christians.

Thomas Sowell nails it: all liberal angst over antebellum slavery in the American South notwithstanding, nothing has ever limited slavery - or genocide - quite like modern Christians with breech loading rifles. Liberals are against Christians having rifles.

Got his head screwed on right and locked down..
Much smarter than most any republican pundit I know of..
On the level of Mark Steyn I think..

[vpintheak]

That is one smart 16 year old. The point is true, Rats today all wish themselves to be the potter and us the clay that they can mold into their image.
