I suggest political pathologists start with this letter.
Holy cow.
Oh, the irony.
Along with the entire liberal-left-progressive Axis of Evil, this ignorant pompous idiot is totally oblivious of the devastating cultural and national impact and ruins created by 8 years of 0bama and fascist PC run amok.
>> by “us,” I mean librarians, children’s authors, yoga practitioners, Unitarians, bird-watchers, people who make their own pasta, opera goers, the grammar police, people who keep books on their shelves, that bunch.
Except for Unitarians, I know conservatives who belong to every one of those groups. Perhaps this is part of the problem with the liberals, and a key thing they don’t understand. They think they own anything they regard as good.
For the record, Mr. Keillor, I’ll match my book collection to yours any day. I’d even do so after subtracting all my science and technical books.
Figures.
Btw, spot on succinct description.
yup. Plenty of them right here on FR
I think that this election might have been a little bit different, not sure if we could have recovered from 8 years of BO, and 4-8 years of Hillary cementing in all of BO's gains. America would have survived, there would have been no apocalypse, but the standard of living might have been a lot less pleasant.
But, that threat has passed, for the moment. We'll see what happens next.
I could barely read this article with my neanderthal brain.
>> Democrats can spend four years raising heirloom tomatoes, meditating, reading Jane Austen, traveling around the country, tasting artisan beers, and let the Republicans build the wall and carry on the trade war with China and deport the undocumented and deal with opioids, and we Democrats can go for a long , brisk walk and smell the roses.
So what’s new? Conservatives have ALWAYS done all the heavy lifting. When liberals are in office it’s like the teenagers who’ve gotten loose with Mom and Dad’s credit card. After the binge, the adults have to buckle down and clean up the mess.
"I stopped reading right there."
Me too. I've lost patience with Leftists who claim to be able to read my mind. Especially because they always fail at it.
My eyes are rolling so hard I wish I had a generator to hook up to them.
Big time sarc, but Keillor obviously thinks he is wise. Most of think he’s boring.
>>Keillor: Mr. Trump was the cruelest candidate since George Wallace. How he won on fear and bile is for political pathologists to study.
Below is a selection of Mr. Keillor’s quotes. Fear and bile much?
The cap does not look good on you, it’s a duffer’s cap, and when you come to the microphone, you look like the warm-up guy, the guy who announces the license number of the car left in the parking lot, doors locked, lights on, motor running. The brim shadows your face, which gives a sinister look, as if you’d come to town to announce the closing of the pulp factory. Your eyes look dead and your scowl does not suggest American greatness so much as American indigestion. Your hair is the wrong color: People don’t want a president to be that shade of blond.
To the Times, Queens is Cleveland. Bush league. You are Queens.
In 2012, Keillor mocked Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney, saying, “The Republican primaries go on – great fun – the Mormon running against the polygamist.” Keillor, like Gingrich, has been married three times.
In 2008, Keillor ridiculed “the roar of hollow patriotism” on Memorial Day, attacking the motorcyclists – many of them veterans – in the “Rolling Thunder” parade. “They are grown men playing soldier,” he said, “making a great hullaballoo without exposing themselves to danger, other than getting drunk and falling off a bike.” Keillor never served in the military, and that sure doesn’t sound like homespun heartland wisdom.
In 2009, he ranted about Republicans and conservatives, declaring that they should be “cut out of the health-care system entirely … Thirty-two percent of the population identifies with the GOP, and if we cut off health care to them, we could probably pay off the deficit in short order.” Let’s think about the backlash if he had said anything but “GOP.”
....by “us,” I mean librarians, children’s authors, yoga practitioners, Unitarians, bird-watchers, people who make their own pasta, opera goers, the grammar police, people who keep books on their shelves, that bunch.
As opposed the "them" -- they who attend monster-truck pulls, fear God, attend Christian church, chew tobaccah, munch on venison Slim Jims, know how to use guns safely, respect the law and common courtesy, buy boxes of pasta because they work long and hard for living, people who point at and laugh at Garrison Keilor and say "WHO??!?"...
IOW, the same people George Will and Garrison Keilor consider uncultured Neanderthals, toofless book-burning rednecks, and the blue-collar idiots who man 7'11s, factories, police depts and the military."
What a condescending trash. THIS is exactly why Donald Trump resonated with the American people ACROSS THE BOARD. And the SAME reason elitist snobs despite Trump: HE RESPECTS THE PEOPLE, RICH or POOR.
Where’s the barf alert?
They wanted only to whoop and yell, boo at the H-word, wear profane T-shirts, maybe grab a crotch or two, jump in the RV with a couple six-packs and go out and shoot some spotted owls.
fortunately, there aren’t too many, but some people, man it would be so satisfying to stick a boot up their smarmy asses..
We are where we are today because of this kind of fecklessness, disrespect and underestimation of the Middle Class. The George Wills and Keilors deem an the uppity white underclass, undeserved of our votes, who don't know their place. Oh, the audacity of the uneducated riff-raff who voted TRUMP!
” Let the uneducated have their day.”
Well over half the college-educated white males voted for Trump.
Keillor, himself, has a BA in English, considers himself slightly autistic, and had a stroke several years ago. This article demonstrates his problems thinking in depth.
He’s uninformed.
He's misinformed.
As Reagan said: "The problem with our opponents is not that they are ignorant... it's that they know so much which isn't so."
The cuck wants to pretend being the young boy himself.
Garrison’s tears give me a stiffie.
“Garrison has never been the same since he got his hysterectomy.”

Pretty funny there, Cowboy Bob.
