"Don't you worry your pretty little head, George. We got this covered."
“I’m an amiable, low voltage atheist. I deeply respect religions and religious people. The great religions reflect something constant and noble in the human character, defensible and admirable yearnings. I am just not persuaded. That’s all.”Enough people have repeated the notion of a man being judged by his enemies. It may not be universal, but in Will’s case, it seems to say a lot.
— George Will, last year
“We are in an ideological war. From a Marxist viewpoint, an atheistic mind is already three-fourths conquered.”
— The Naked Communist, Chapter 12
Wouldn’t take much to turn Will into a girl.
Every sulfurous belch from the moldy interior of the pathetic RINO George Will
” After Donald Trump finishes plastering a snarling face on conservatism, any Republican nominee will face a dauntingly steep climb to reach even the paltry numbers that doomed Mitt Romney.”
Translation: Now that Trump is pushing Walker into blessed oblivion my wife will be out of a job and we can kiss that cruise to New Zealand goodbye.
I just discovered today that all these years George Will has been a fake conservative. I found out he’s an atheist.
Conservatism is about preserving the great values and institutions with which we’ve been blessed. Apparently, he thinks God, Christianity, the commandments, the culture, the moral values, and all of that are irrelevant.
I guess he believes in having your figures balance on your spread sheet. Other than that, it’s all up in the air...and even the balance sheet is just personal whim.
"Don't you worry your pretty little head, George. We got this covered."
Remember everyone, his wife WORKS FOR WALKER.
A great column that unfortunately many Trumpet supporters will malign w/o really reading it.
I wonder if we could go back and find Will’s columns pre-Reagan. IIRC, he had pretty much the same opinions on the Gipper’s electability back then.

Another harrumphing RINO
Hey George........retire already. Who cares what you say? Trump won’t worship at the foot of the great George Will so destroy him you will.....(you think).....
George Will's reputation, to the extent that it exists, is grounded not upon fidelity to conservative principles which has always been disputed but upon a commitment to intellectual rigor and honesty. With this piece he undermines his own reputation.
Conservatives do not execrate Obama's highhandedness because it overcomes the separation of powers to make government action less difficult, they execrate it because it is tyrannical. It is tyrannical because it is repugnant to the Constitution. Conservatives do not despise GOP congressional leaders because they fail to "jettison the separation of powers", on the contrary we despise establishment congressional leaders precisely because they fail to defend the separation of powers.
We do not despise congressional leaders as George Will alleges because they do not "work conservatism's unimpeded will from Capitol Hill" but because they do not work the Constitution. They do not oppose tyranny. They do not work the will of conservatism and by extension the will of the people as provided for in the Constitution when faced by tyranny. We despise them because they jettisoned their constitutional duty to advise and consent to treaties, because they jettisoned their constitutional power of the purse, because they neglected their constitutional duty to conduct hearings and investigations, because the congressional leaders have persistently lied to their constituents that they would in fact not jettison their constitutional powers and submit to tyranny.
Here is an example illustrating George Will's disdain for the conservative movement and, worse for his self image, it illustrates his misunderstanding of the Constitution. It illustrates his blindness to the tyranny of Barack Obama and his obtuseness to the true constitutional yearnings of conservatism. Will misunderstands the Constitution because he does not understand that under separation of powers each branch is to exercise its power on behalf of its constituents or its principles to the fullest degree authorized by the Constitution; it is not a proper constitutional exercise of power to acquiesce in an usurpation of power by another branch.
Will could argue whether these description of what is happening in Washington are accurate but he certainly cannot deny that these are the genuine feelings of America's conservatives. He knowingly distorts those yearnings and he commits intellectual dishonesty.
Cry ‘Havoc’ and unleash the poodles of Will!
I didnt read the article yet, but FU Will.
Ok now I can maybe stomach reading about this a hole.
Nope I was wrong Will is dumb a$$.
Dear George Will,
Hittin' the bottle already? We tried it your way in almost every election you insufferable douche bag. In fact the only time we didn't try it your way, our guy thumped the enemy. Twice.
Who the f*ck decided that you and Krauthammer were anything except retards is beyond me. F'all ya'll.
Has Georgie Will written anything critical of his wife’s candidate and do they share the checks?
Pray America is waking
