Yesterday, the Weakly Standard, tomorrow, National Review.

If they can’t watch conservative principles being implemented and write positive comments about the man implementing them, they can go out of business and straight to hell.

Who buys their rag anymore?

Indeed, he was the Bill Kristol "conservative alternative" to Trump in 2016. Yet before Mr French wrote THIS "oh the humanity" tripe he said this about Trump last year:

The leaders of the party that ended slavery now endorse a man who bullies women, lies habitually, and incites violence. My heart breaks.

We reap what we sow. Deal.

These people need lots of therapy. There is no happiness to be found in cynicism, rooting through people’s history looking for mistakes they have made, purely to humiliate them or advance some kind of pseudo-political agenda. And worse, there is no forgiveness. To many they won’t even accept an apology - they demand an apology and when one is given they demand retribution!

There is an ancient Jewish principle that says that the world cannot survive on Justice alone. The world needs Mercy to go with Justice. This is also obviously a foundational principle of Christianity.

Today’s left, devoid of God and hell bent on justice, brings misery on themselves.

No problem, Dave. Plenty of other countries around out there. Move.

Guttersnipes have too much power in our society.

They aren’t known as the presstitutes of the enemedia for nothing.

“... And for what purpose? ...”

To force the homosexual mafia non-agenda of course.

Another example of why the media is the enemy of the American people. There was no news value in that “reporter’s” article about Murray, only Leftist gotcha propaganda designed to continue to foment division in our society.

Wasn’t David French one of National Review’s great neverTumper hopes who was supposed to stop the xenophobic nativists from nominating & electing The Donald?

I thought so.

He’s also the same miserable prick who wrote this about General Flynn just two days ago:

“(Flynn) is not, however, a victim of federal law enforcement. He is a man who did wrong and is now paying his debt to society. That’s not exploitation. It’s justice.”

I have started to respond to these dramas and hysterics with a blank face and the words: “So What?”

I just say it over and over.

That and the statement: “So realistically, what does that have to do with life now?” seems to take the wind out of their sails.

The new McCarthyism - “Have you now, or have you ever been a homophobe?”

Most people I know aren’t scared of homos, they just don’t want to have anything to do with them.

Mao killed tens of millions of his people. The lucky ones got publicly shamed. The unlucky ones got publicly shamed and then killed.

And then eaten.

Along with their families.

"I see them as symptoms of a post-Christian America that has become intolerably intolerant. It is a society without grace. It’s a society that’s all too often devoid of mercy — or in which the merciful don’t have nearly the same cultural power as the merciless."

Not sure what post-Christian has to do with it, but I agree with the net result. For far to many reasons to list, we have become a very coarsened society. And so polarized that I really do expect to witness political violence on a large scale before my days on this plain are done. (Not too far away.)
