Then it is good that his honesty is so rare.

Communism NEVER works, Chrissy. It was BORN corrupted.

Is this the Onion? I think that Chris is trying to tell us that Brat gave him a thrill up his leg!

Agreed. It’s almost like the old days.

I look forward to the day when some retired truck driver with a high school education becomes the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. I’ll bet this country would run like a well-oiled machine in that scenario.

Every six months or so Matthews make a statement that is incongruent with Obama worship.

It will not stand and he will not stand with it.

This is what he does.

The thing people didn't like, it wasn't the philosophy of communism they didn't like, it was the complete corruption of it,

Yeah they just wanted communism to work right. LOL

Matthews has small islands of sanity, probably when he is sober. Remember Rush once had him as a sub host for his program. Once during the '96 campaign Matthews observed that "Bob Dole is ten times the man Bill Clinton will ever be." Then he sank back into the fog.

Go figure.

Quite a good statement, considering the source.

His assessment of the attitude of the Eastern Europeans which brought about the collapse of the communist regimens is partly true, but there was much more to it. I will never forget the interview by a Western reporter on the streets of Moscow, in which he asked a young Russian woman in her 20s why people had turned against the regime. Her answer was very simple, and psychologically profound — and even applicable today. The main thing, she said, is that “they treated us like children.”

When I watch in amazement the progressive infantilization of the US populace, I wonder when our people will finally rise up and demand that they not be treated “like children.” That is bad enough, but to be treated as children by leaders who are themselves narcissists in arrested development, is the worse of all. And it is dangerous, as we see daily in the news.

Narcissistic leaders are deluded, and they combine this with a fundamental dishonesty. Their grip on reality is slippery at best. We are seeing the results every day.

What’s cool about your insight is this: There are rare moments these days when you can feel idealism isn’t naiveté; rather it matters. Today is such a day.

You have to remember that Matthews worked on the staff of former U.S. House Speaker Tip O’Neill back in the 1980s. He probably sees Cantor’s defeat in the context of his political career, and recognizes how unprecedented it would have been for someone like O’Neill to lose his seat in a primary race.

The Bergdahl deal pushed him over the edge.

You might be right - the Bergdahl fraud is pushing dems over the edge... they can't reconcile Bergdahl with the image they've held of Obama.

I seem to remember an episode during the days of Clinton's impeachment when a bunch of Freepers were demonstrating somewhere in Washington, and Chris Matthews was heckled while he was walking into the building. He took it well and may have even signed some autographs for them.

Does anyone remember this? LOL.

I think what really has these people shaken is that the sitting House majority leader and future Speaker of the House was toppled by some dude who financed his campaign with less money than he would have spent on a decent mid-sized SUV. The whole idea of a "professional political class" should be unraveling here in the U.S., and I think leftists have the most to fear from that.

Alberta's Child - you are one insightful person...
