"and angels dancing" ------ LOL... Which angels would they be?
The same ones which inspired to courage and accomplishment the heroes and heroines of our culture, our nation and our civilzation. From George Washington et al who did what they did in the service of Truth, to the guys who ran into the burning towers who were standing by their oath. Without Angels, my friend, it isn't long befor a human being becomes just another self-serving, mealy-mouthed lying sack of shit. Or a Democrat.
Well, Peggy was right about that. Bork was dazzling. His Tempting of America, written afterwards, was equally so.
Which angels? Don't know. But, watching C-SPAN reruns of his confirmation hearings, I saw them--again.
But, intellectual grasp isn't all that it is cracked up to be, even when the grasping mind is in the head of a conservative.
And, it is downright dangerous when it is in a liberal's head.
I remember watching a joint press conference held by outgoing President Bush and incoming President Clinton. Bush stumbled through the Q&A. Then, it was Bill's turn and you could see the angels dance as he displayed a remarkably genuine grasp for domestic and foreign issues. Not bad for a third rate Arkansas Governor. The camera panned to Bush. There he stood with this incredible look on his face, awestruck by the clear and easy brilliance Clinton had just shown--on the fly.
The problem with dancing angels in your head is sometimes you can't control where they dance or why. Better to look to the music they're dancing to . . .who's playing the tune?
