"Wow..." "Wow..."Giggled silly at the image of Tyrell shoveling spadeful after spadeful on the coffin....
When did he meet Al Franken?
Ben Stein is a great American who has probably gotten loads of grief for standing conservative among a near-total liberal Democrat social strata (not to mention the publishing and Hollywood environments). I wish those who feel free to label me a racist nativist knew how much I admire folks like Ben, Thomas Sowell and everyone else brave enough to speak up for truth rather than kowtow to the PC/plantation line their respective minority groups try to shove down their throats. They’re courage is truly inspiring while their intelligence proves that learning is the only real path to emancipation.
There was nothing better than Ben’s columns in the tabloid Spectator (was it a fortnightly?), when he wrote month after month about the joys of being a father to his son. Not tearjerker stuff, but simple, straight-ahead, and definitely feel good stuff that cut right through the cynicism of politics.
I might take a pass on the scandal of the month, but Ben kept me loyal for a very long time.
After giving money to Franken, I cannot believe he is serious about his positions. If he was serious, he would not be able to finance someone who would destroy everything he stands for!
I believe Stein to be a liar at this point.
“Ben give’s an amazing tribute to a friend. We should be so lucky. A friendship that continues after 34 years, bravo.”
That still doesn’t explain his support for Al Franken. I mean, Ben come on, WTF man...
