Add This Guy to the List of Republican Asses
George Will on one of the Sunday blab shows this week:
Right. It's just an intramural argument at Princeton; i.e. a matter to be decided by our patrician ruling class. None of the rest of us has anything to contribute to the august decision-making process of two graduates of the most arrogant, ruling-class-oriented university in the country.
And the Republicans accuse Liberals of being elitists.
“The argument we’re having today is whether James Madison of the Princeton class of 1771 can save the Constitution from Woodrow Wilson of the Princeton class of 1879 and the progressive movement. It’s an intramural argument at Princeton.”

It’s all about calling one angle “progressive” and the other “freedom” - so progressivism thus becomes antithetical to freedom in any discussion. You control the language you control the terms of the discussion you control the discussion…
Just a devious foreigner’s point of view…. Neither I nor any Australian I have ever met could quote a single passage of our constitution (small ‘c’).
It has no totemic symbolism whatsoever, and just gets pulled out of some dusty space every generation or so when we have a parliamentary deadlock or some problem of jurisdiction.
This idea of it as a holy scripture to be interpreted by a legal priesthood while imagining some formless existential threat to the nation hovering over all is, to me, bizarre.
Well, who am I to complain? It worked to put Republicans back in the driver's seat, where they are deliberately sabotaging our economy every way they can, in order to seize power again. You must be really proud to be a part of that.
No they are trying to save it. Obama is hell bent on turning us into a welfare state which is the republicans need to take the senate and the White house otherwise Obama will keep going until it's to late. He's done enough to raise unemployment and squander trillions. I think the people are aware of it and know they can't afford 4 years of this.
Sorry you can't beyond the Hope and Change to realize this.
