Another great piece by Victor Davis Hanson.
This is playing out like a Geek tragedy.....(sic).....
Hope 'ol Danny-boy tips the guy dropping the 'slicer'.
For a small pittance... they used to resharpen the blade to ensure a clean cut.
When dealing with sooo many customers, the blade... alas... loses its edge and the process becomes redundant.
Very well said. Dan.............go now!
VDH should have his own television show just for the sake of a wider audience. He is terrific.
Its interesting since Victor Davis Hanson is a conservative Democrat. He despises his own party for trashing both its soul and and its best causes in the pursuit of power and naked expediency. No wonder they've long had it coming to them.
The libs are going supernova. They'll end up as a white dwarf glowing inconspicuously in a corner of our consciousness.
PREACH IT BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!
Victor Davis Hanson is right on the mark with this beauty!! This article is a keeper!!!!
Well, that does a pretty good job of 'splaining it. Arrogance and Hypocrisy have been the suicidal weapons of modern Liberalism. Is a Liberal just naturally a spoiled arrogant, hypocritical brat out of which spouts Liberal thought as a matter of course, or is Liberal thought and teaching presented in the public school system without much competition resulting in whole new crops of Liberals who didn't use their brain cells to reason things out? Which came first, the Liberal chicken or the Liberal egg? Is Liberalism merely a personality disorder that has been allowed to seek its level like water?
Good find!
Everyone who quotes
the Protector would do well
to remember what
happened when he died.
(And the extremes he went to
to "protect" England
while he was alive.
It's not at all clear he was
really a good guy . . .)
I am glad to have known before Rathergate.
Imagine the shock of finding out your "friends" on TV and in "hometown" papers have been deceiving you - after election 2000, 911, and after over 18 months of daily spinning re. Iraq?
I felt so guilty about Vietnam - for having betrayed our veterans by believing Walter Cronkite and Hollywood lies.
We didn't have access to the primary sources then.
We may need a national period of mourning, forgiveness, to get beyond this latest national shame - the latest betrayal of all we hold dear by our own mighty free press, and those who bought the slickly packaged lies.
...millions of Americans learned long ago that there are probably more liberals on Fox than conservatives on PBS, NPR, CBS, ABC, and NBC combined and the former are honest about politics in a way the latter are not.
Beautiful. Hanson at his best.
BTTT.
VDH is always good, but this one is especially good.
I pray that it is so.
I absolutely love this guys mind. I can't imagine the pleasure I'd have being a student in his class.
The purging will have to come from within - Republicans can't do it. It is high time for the party of Scoop Jackson, Hubert Humphrey, and Harry Truman to find its soul again after a nightmare tramp through the swamp of postmodern nihilism, courtesy of the folks - the Clintons, the Kerrys - who imagined they were freeing the world when they spit on the troops lo those many years ago. It will not be easy. They are at the high arc of their political careers and will not go quietly.
Hillary in particular intends to resurrect their effort four years hence. That, I suspect, will represent the final battle for the soul of a generation. The battle-lines are being drawn in this election, the veterans have awakened and are discovering that at last they have a voice, and the forces that shouted them down thirty years ago are surprised and shaken, but not defeated. This is going to be a long struggle.
In a couple of days they come and take me away
But the press let the story leak
Now when the FR Poster came to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek
And I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm on my way
I'm taking my time but I don't know where
Goodbye to Danny, the King of Media
