Good evening!
The Obamas apparently attended church this morning in DC.
Sounds like former President Clinton is trying to bolster 0, saying he's getting his momentum back as his party faces major defeats in November.
Some conservative, maybe it was DeMint, as he's doing his best to get the Rs to stay on track, said this election to be really successful, must do more that discredit 0. The whole Left's agenda and ideas should be held accountable.
But recently when I have heard L., he's been pretty square on Rs not equaling conservatives...remember he's being blamed for promoting 0Donnell over Castle...
So you've got me wondering what he's up to today...
He talks so fast so much of the time...that's one reason why I listen less, plus I like Prager who's talking about the Pope, and who has guests, like Joe Miller, coming up.
Hillyer and George Neumayr are routine reads for me, along with Noemie Emery.
2 pages in, I was hooked, so thank you!
It's remarkable that Shute knew so much about both the air and airplanes AND the sea and ships, and could write so well about both, too.
To me Shute, despite being an engineer, comes very close to write well & so compassionately & understandingly about human beings as well. He's not, in my mind at least, in the same league there with Sigrid Undset and Paul Horgan, to use 2 examples that come to mind, but pretty close.
Much more info and pictures at NevilShute.org
There’s even a library that you can borrow his books from. The only cost is the postage.
He wrote 24 novels and 1 autobiography.
Glad you are enjoying Trustee....!
[Afer tries by Goldwater, Reagan and Gingrich to stop GOP me-too-ism]...the GOP elite, directly descended from the Rockefeller moderates, consistently steered the party back to the left. Congressional Republicans in large part were satisfied to remain a party of doppelganger Democrats, stifling any impulse for serious change. (A single example will suffice: In the midst of the Gingrich insurrection, with Bill Clinton on the ropes due to indiscretions with half the women on the East Coast, the best the GOP could come up with as an opponent was Robert Dole, Mr. Go-Along-to-Get-Along in the flesh.)
It is this establishment that the Tea Party counter-revolution is working to overthrow. This is not merely a matter of sending a few candidates to Washington in vague hopes of "reform"; it involves a complete upending of this country's political culture. Not only the Obama leftists dumped on the curb, but the Republican trimmers piled right alongside them and a new, reformed GOP established that will stand for actual American values. This process is not limited to a single election cycle -- it's a long-term program. It is a counter-revolution.
The Republicans (and paradoxically, the GOP has suffered more to date than the Dems, with five major defeats of chosen party candidates) haven't grasped even that much. They still seem to be operating under the assumption that they can move in and take over once the Tea Party votes them in.
The establishmentarians certainly are. We do have a few that seem to be waking up to reality though.
Good article.
I’m not certain that Babbin is correct in asserting that most Tea Partiers are independents. Regardless, he nails it about republican perfidy, willful blindness and arrogance.
Man, Karl Rove’s ears must be smokin’.....!
I just finished Trustee.......excellent book. What admirable people Shute portrays.
So you mean “Trustee from the Toolroom”?
We will be stunned on Nov 2...at the scope of the trainwreck we will be witness to...
That is the one....
Yes I’ve read that Lincoln is in waaay deep doo-doo. I keep hoping for a bloodbath, but train wreck works too. Less gory...
:^)
That reminds me, time to go check out that thread of House races needing money.
I am afraid to get too excited about this. But I sure hope these predictions are right.
Yes. I was unaware the Schwan's truck now carried laundry detergent and TP. Thanks for the tip!! 8^)
You’re welcome, I saw a Schwan catalog recently.
mkh, thanks for the clarification.
(Races the Tea Party is advertising for donations needed)
Are you a Nevil Shute fan also??
