In years gone by I thought Will was the best thing since sliced bread. No more. Not by a long shot.
George - unless and until you address the lawlessness of the present administration and organizations like BLM and NOI, I suggest you zip it. You have no credibility.
George Will reminds of Joseph Goebbels!
He’s a world-class idiot. Oh, and he’s a snob, too.
He missed the part about being elected official vs. public employee.
Will insults conservatives by saying this. Davis, could have been found in contempt, and fined without being thrown in jail. The judge overstepped his bounds by creating a political prisoner. I think Anthony Kennedy is a jerk, and more concerned about himself, and his legacy, what ever that is. In the end, the supreme court ruled, and because they have been whittling down the 10th amendment, we have less and less chance to fight them without something like Levin’s liberty amendments. Will has shown himself for what he is, and by insulting Davis supporters, which I don’t consider myself, BTW, he cheapens the debate to nothing mre than name calling, a leftist tactic.

“Kim Davis, the Democratic county clerk in Kentucky. She made a choice, unquestionably, her faith is important to her but evidently her paycheck is also because she did not resign her office. We’ve been here before, in 1892, a Massachusetts policeman claimed that his constitutional rights of speech and association had been violated by rules governing and restricting political activity by police. The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts head against him in an opinion written by a Massachusetts judge named Oliver Wendell Holmes who said the policeman has a Constitutional right to engage in politics, the policeman does not have a Constitutional right to be a policeman. She has that same problem. ”
Here’s the thing if she had a problem with Same Sex Marriage (As I and many others do), she should have resigned. We elect people to enforce the laws, that means ALL the laws, not just the ones we like.
What is unconservative (If there is such a word) about what he said?
Will is just a slimy establishment POS.
He just needs to explain in detail to us second class citizens how the Identity Politics hierarchy works, simple.
George has become a looney liberal screwball. He is no longer worth listening to.
George Will sounds increasing like David Brooks.
Hard to believe i use to like this old fool.
George, you’re nothing to me now. You’re not a brother, you’re not a friend. I don’t want to know you or what you do.
A better comparison is Rosa Parks.
Or Martin Luther King — maybe she should write a letter from the Birmingham Jail.
George Will ought to get his head examined....and soon. He irrationality gets worse every day.
Either Will has always been a major lib (I suspect that’s true) or voila! One of his son’s showed up at Thankgiving wearing a dress and demanding to be accepted as a woman. Fake conservatives always fall for the sick relative excuse.
The conservative George Will calls himself an “amiable atheist.” Amiable or not, a conservative atheist usually means social liberal. See Krauthammer, Charles.
Such “conservatives” may find abortion abhorrent but their opposition is sluggish and purely intellectual. Atheists sleep late on Sunday mornings. They do not attend church with pro-life activists. They do not demonstrate outside clinics in freezing cold weather.
Will, the atheist, proved all this in his recent column about assisted suicide. He poo-poohed concerns about suicide as a slippery slope. He said every issue has its own slippery slope. That’s true for rudderless atheists, but not for Christians who consider human life sacred. That’s where the slippery slope stops. It stops at human life, God’s greatest creation.
George Will, of course, does not believe that. Because atheists, truth be told, believe in nothing.
I call him Ol’ Turnstile. He just loves to see those Latino kids coming across the border and insists that the US’ 3,400 counties can absorb them all.
George Will is FOS. Don’t listen to his drivel.
Will would only be correct if he referred to both as Democrats.
When Presidents and Chief Justices either don't follow the laws or make up the laws as they go along, you no longer have the "Rule of Law." You have chaos.
Such is the legacy of Obama...and Will.
What is so desperately needed is for some governor to say out loud, "Not in my state. Not while I'm Governor."
That must eventually lead to civil war, but that seems to be what Obama, McConnell, Boehner, Roberts AND Will want, anyway.
Will might argue that when these people in DC declare war on American citizens, Kim Davis isn't even a microcosm of the problem. The problem is the civil war has already begun.
