Even by the low standards to which we hold David Stockman, this is asinine. Ping to Today show list.

Everything is “code word” these days. Criticize any liberal idea and it’s “code word” for racism. Really?

Maybe we should mark everything the Dems say as code word for Marxism.

Kinda funny how David Stockman has risen in my mind lately.

Amid all the fighting about Bain Capital, I did some digging on the company that bought my last job out from under me. It was Collins and Aikman who in turn declared bankruptcy in 07 with David Stockman at the helm.

It's pretty obvious, to me, that our military is used by the globalist elites as muscle and whoever is in the Whitehouse marches to their orders. There is no way a Barack Obama would be as hawkish as he is, unless someone else was calling the shots.

My point, until we get a president who can stand up to these powers -- we will have aggressive foreign policy and our boys will go off and fight murky missions on our dime for interests not entirely our own.

Why is it that so many Reagan affiliates turn out to be liberals?

Sometimes it sounds like “David Stockman” is just a code word for “Stockholm Syndrome-addled dupe”...

American exceptionalism refers to the theory that the United States is qualitatively different from other countries. In this view, America’s exceptionalism stems from its emergence from a revolution, becoming “the first new nation,”[1] and developing a uniquely American ideology, based on liberty, egalitarianism, individualism, populism and laissez-faire.

This observation can be traced to Alexis de Tocqueville, the first writer to describe the United States as “exceptional” in 1831 and 1840.[2] Historian Gordon Wood has argued, “Our beliefs in liberty, equality, constitutionalism, and the well-being of ordinary people came out of the Revolutionary era. So too did our idea that we Americans are a special people with a special destiny to lead the world toward liberty and democracy.”[3]

Hey, Haiti is exceptional too. So is Mongolia. There are all sorts of ways of being exceptional.

The exceptionalism I want in the USA is a country that abides by its Constitution, that exceptional charter created by an exceptional generation to establish principles of limited government grounded in virtue and liberty.

I’ve about had it with “code” and “dog whistles” and other mind-reading terminology that is only applied to Republicans.
