…finally treats a political opponent with respect and good faith.
I understand the white-hot anger at the GOPe, and share it. I will never comprehend the notion that Trump is a rational response to it. He’s a Democrat, and a opportunistic chameleon with (like Romney) no discernible political principles.
…superstition takes his place. Including things like the climate-change religion.
I think it was Chesterton who said that when people cease believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing, they believe anything. This is why, despite my own lack of belief, I think that attacks on organized religion by the Left (as engaged in by people like Dawkins and Dennett) can be disastrous. Like death, God serves a useful societal purpose, if not for every individual, whether He exists or not.
Why he isn’t President Romney. Mitt was a good businessman (and a good man, among the best ever to run for president), and the country would be in much better shape, both domestically and overseas, if he had won. But he had (and has) no discernible political principles or ideology, and cannot fathom anyone who does. The electorate could tell, and they wanted something more. [Update quite a bit later] I’m having serious link issues today. Fixed now, sorry. …you can’t get your childhood back. As someone in my early twenties when it came back, I was a lot less impressed than the kids at the time. After the duds that were Eps 1-3, I’ll probably wait for it to be free on television. The endless debate: Are they domesticated? I think ours is, pretty much, but then, I think females are more than males. They don’t tend to wander as much, in my experience. Rerun doesn’t go more than a house or so away, AFAIK. Looks like they’re roaring against the Vikings, but they still have three quarters to go. [Update at beginning of second half] Still ahead 17-15, but they’re going to have to keep scoring. More thoughts on my USA Today piece, over at Ricochet. Why they must be programmed to kill. Popular Science takes a deep dive into the town, its past, and perhaps its future. It’s a tough place, for now, to retain employees.Mitt Romney
