Peter Jennings assessment of the 1994 Republican landslide....

“Some thoughts on those angry voters. Ask parents of any two-year-old and they can tell you about those temper tantrums: the stomping feet, the rolling eyes, the screaming. It’s clear that the anger controls the child and not the other way around. It’s the job of the parent to teach the child to control the anger and channel it in a positive way. Imagine a nation full of uncontrolled two-year-old rage. The voters had a temper tantrum last week....Parenting and governing don’t have to be dirty words: the nation can’t be run by an angry two-year-old.”
— ABC World News Tonight anchor Peter Jennings in his daily ABC Radio commentary, November 14.

Yes, Peter is dead but this this arrogance is being resurrected today in almost identical fashion by today’s lefty media gurus. The characters change but history keeps repeating.

These lefty’s didn’t say a word about civil discourse when Condy Rice was assaulted by a scary Code Pink protester in a congressional hearing room several years ago.

Great quote!

It's amazing how scared the leftists are of those that love America and are trying to preserve the Constitutional Republic that it is and will always be.

And Jennings is/was a Canadian.

It's interesting how he mentions the democrats characteristics...like angry two-year-olds with temper tantrums, the stomping feet, the rolling eyes, the screaming and projects them onto the republicans.

I remember that quote. The arrogance of self-anointed elites knows no bounds.
