Such a weird, weird age, the one we’re living in. I’ve said it a thousand times: It takes amazingly little to be considered a conservative. Think Paradise Lost is better than I, Rigoberta Menchú? Think the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ought to be guided by science, instead of political emotions and desires? Think Cubans ought to be able to read a book of their choosing, or open a store, or leave the country on a raft without being shot to death in the water? Welcome to the “fascist” fold, my friend.Think someone should be shot to death in the water before landing on America's shores? Welcome to the “fascist” fold, my friend. It takes amazingly little to be considered a conservative.
You know, along that they-know-not-what-they-speak theme here's Chuck Norris speaking up for the snowflake babies:
That is exactly why Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1809 at the end of his presidency, "The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good government."FREE HEALTHCARE NOW, a guaranteed minimum income, and, oh, let's see, gay marriage must be included in those clear words mustn't they?
Washington, could wording be any clearer?
He didn't specify which country Cubans should be allowed to leave.
ReplyDeleteThink the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ought to be guided by what Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity think, rather than actual scientists?
ReplyDeleteYeah, than you're a right-wing authoritarian like Jay N.

ReplyDelete"Fold" in the sense of "enclosure for sheep"? Seems fair enough to me.
Yet if you feel that Mexicans should be safe to leave Mexico without being shot at, and you're considered a liberal. Truly it is a strange world.
ReplyDeleteSmut just said what I've been thinking.
ReplyDeleteThey really have no self-awareness.
Shorter every conservative answer to everything: "Nuh uh, YOU ARE."
ReplyDeleteThey really have no self-awareness.
ReplyDeleteNordlinger is the Andy Rooney of The Corner, so functioning with self-awareness is not his brief. Or in his briefs. However that goes.
Have people been mean to Jay about his half-baked ideas? Now, we know that is unfair and makes him go all sulky.
ReplyDeleteReally, people!
I don't think just any Cuban should be able to "open a store." What about property rights?
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the "fascist" fold, my friend. It takes amazingly little to be considered a conservative.
ReplyDeleteSuch a weird, weird imaginary world, the one you're living in.
