Relieving you of your ignorance isn’t insulting you. It may be a mostly pointless task, but it’s not insulting.
Levin isn’t a scholar. He’s at best a popularizer. McDonald wrote for Buckley’s National Review back when it was worth reading. Major conservative scholar. Like the Founding Fathers, he’s now deceased. We can be certain that you won’t read Madison, Jay and Hamilton because they, too, are similarly deceased. Bailyn was the Librarian of Congress. He’s still kicking but evidently too old to pass your test on who’s worth reading.
” and I think your use of the term “bellowing” is clearly an overreach and inappropriate...more snark...So it makes me doubt the rest of what you say.”
Yeah, well at some future time maybe you will learn the difference between normative and positive statements. But probably not.
“From what I read McMasters did not just grant access to the former staffers’ personal works, he granted a clearance which is wider in scope...classified clearance/access granted to hostile Obama staff”
Because it’s so hard to google the EO and actually read what the History clause grants to former officials. Apparently too hard for Hannity since he was just saying whatever popped into his head.
“Again, you seem very happy to support the status quo,”
That’s no more insightful than anything else you’ve said. Congratulations.
“1. She is a hostile to Trump.”
She’s a former senior official. She meets the criteria in the EO.
“2. In the private sector they curtail access to former employees because they may use that access against them.”
So...you didn’t know that her NSA post wasn’t in the private sector? It wasn’t. See how easy that is?
“Oh and maybe I will pick up a copy of Levin’s new book.”
You probably should. It fits you.
Your entire reply smacks of elitistism, and you are beyond boorish.
Though I had begun a reply to all of your insults dripping with condescension... “WE CAN be certain you won’t be reading...” and “Yeah, well at some future time maybe you will learn the difference between normative and positive statements. But probably not.”
However, clearly you are just waaay too full of yourself~a legend in your own mind...So nothing I would say matters to such an erudite scholar...you are not worth my time...
OK to come back with an additional snotty reply, I am done and won’t bother to read it.
People like you are part of the problem.
