In a more sensible time someone would challenge Douglas Brinkley to a duel and then shoot him in the chest with a flintlock pistol at twenty paces.
But we don’t do that kind of thing anymore.
Pity.
“Just research Brinkley’s past...Then you might understand....”
I’m very familiar with him——the comment made NO sense.
.
If the “expert” CNN seys so, I guess it’s so. Hahahahahahaha
CNN has no credibility with me.
But I bet he loved the ineligible for office Barack Hussein Obama, not a natural born citizen, usurper.
I’d rather see a relatively reliable source posted, or a FReeper’s own blog or vanity, rather than the source of the post being the Lying Left itself, like CNN.
Let’s post stuff about CNN lies that contains, talks about, and refutes CNN’s lies rather than publishing the uncut toxic lies straight from CNN’s lying mouth.
CNN is unfit for broadcasting but that doesn’t stop them.
Douglas Brinkley isn’t David Brinkley. Besides, David’s dead.
stelter is one of those guys who really needs to get the crap beat out of him...
OH! thanks for the info!
I retract my earlier note, it was obviously in error from the name Brinkley and the affiliation with the news business.
Thanks!
Didn’t Brinkley have to re-write parts of his book “Tour of Duty” which was about Kerry’s Vietnam escapades, because there were known factual inaccuracies in it?
If Christie Brinkley says something, it matters (maybe a little, maybe a lot); but if Dugless Brinkley says it, fug gedda bow dit.
Binkley is still sore that his hero Kerry was swiftboated.
Trump has lost DOUGLAS BRINKLEY? It’s over.....
How can Brinkley, immersed as he is in that intolerant world view, think and speak otherwise of a man (Trump) who resists the very intolerance that marks Progressive thought and policy?
"Ideas have consequences"(Weaver).
The ideas of 1776 came out of a set of ideas consistent with liberty.
We tend to forget, or have never considered, that other world views existed then, as now.
Unless today's citizens rediscover the ideas of liberty existing in what Jefferson called "the American mind" of 1776, we risk going back to the "Old World" ideas which preceded the "Miracle of America."
There are those who call themselves "progressives," when, in fact, their ideas are regressive and enslaving, and as old as the history of civilization.
Would suggest to any who wish an authentic history of the ideas underlying American's founding a visit to this web site, at which Richard Frothingham's outstanding 1872 "History of the Rise of the Republic of the United States" can be read on line.
This 600+-page history traces the ideas which gave birth to the American founding. Throughout, Richard Frothingham, the historian, develops the idea that it is "the Christian idea of man" which allowed the philosophy underlying the Declaration of Independence and Constitution to become a reality--an idea which recognizes the individual and the Source of his/her "Creator"-endowed life, liberty and law.
Is there any wonder that the enemies of freedom, the so-called "progressives," do not promote such authentic histories of America? Their philosophy puts something called "the state," or "global interests" as being superior to individuals and requires a political elitist group to decide what role individuals are to play.
In other words, they must turn the Founders' ideas upside-down in order to achieve a common mediocrity for individuals and power for themselves.
"We, the People," however, have not submitted our consciences and freedom to any ideology, including the so-called "progressive" ideology, other than that expressed in our Declaration of Independence, and then structured into our limited form of government by the U. S. Constitution.
Yup. Good old fashioned Haymaker right in the pie hole.
Who is Brinkley? What company is he the CEO of? What was his military rank?
“Unfit for Command” was the title of a 2004 book (by Jerome Corsi and Swift Boat commander O’Neill) that helped to expose Kerry’s braggadocio and Purple Heart trickery in Vietnam.
