Didn't those "old people" pay in to that system all their working lives in a social contract begun by your hero FDR? That's not a "gift" but an agreed upon payment Michael, one I'm sure you'll avail yourself of, whether you need it, or not.
Michael Kinsley, still alive—
(I hate statists.)
How does Kinky justify his assertion? Does he just make it up?
The right-wing populist Tea Party movement has politicians of both parties spooked. Democrats fear it will bring so many Republicans to the boil, and then to the voting booth, that they will lose control of Congress.
:::::::::
“Bring many Republicans to the boil...”? The CONSERVATIVES of America are ALREADY at a boil, and that is what CREATED the Tea Party movement you idiot....and the government’s main function is now to GROW itself and its power. Those OLD PEOPLE made this country, and they PAID for it. You maggot.
“The Tea Party movement has been compared (by David Brooks of The New York Times, among others) to the student protest movement of the 1960s.”
The comparison with that group of idiots only stands as both groups had “members”. The comparison DIES when you compare that the Tea Party protesters either have jobs or have had jobs, are paying taxes or have paid taxes, and lastly, love America and the Constitution.
"Astro-turf?" "Tea baggers?" If they'd gotten only half the respected that transgendered peeping Toms get, Kinsley could be forgiven as merely forgetful; but he has to be a liar to try to slip this flatus through the crowd.
“a third of all adults support the Tea Party”
A third of all English colonists in America supported the first American revolution. What a coinkydink.
(Now there’s a factoid you won’t find in Slate.)

The Oligarchy gets antsy...when the peons and peasants start gettin’ uppity...they send out the old newshands to try to whip ‘em back in line....
Michael Kinsley
That is really all you need to know.
Metrosexual America hater.
Gay actually. So a self-loather too.
And we should allow a pack of self-admitted, spineless, frightened Nervous Nellies run the country because...?

“It is to me a new and consolatory proof that wherever the people are well-informed they can be trusted with their own government; that whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights.” ~Thomas Jefferson
It is not only a right, but also the duty of free people to speak against every ideology that threatens freedom. Thomas Jefferson
Good old days.
Samuel Johnson, on the role of a Patriot as, “The true lover of his country is ready to communicate his fears, and to sound the alarm, whenever he perceives the approach of mischief.”
‘‘It is not the function of our government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error.’’
— Justice Robert H. Jackson
He’s Alan Colmes, plus about 2 IQ points.
Imagine my surprise when I realized that:
1. Michael Kinsley was still considered worthy of writing an article and that anyone would care.
2. That someone who strains to look so smart can be so stupid.
3. Michael’s picture is actually right there beside the definition of “Useful Idiot” in the dictionary.
We are coming, Mikey... and all of the elitism in the world won’t be enough to stop us.
Our Founding Fathers would declare you and those like you the enemy of Freedom.
We will defeat you in November ‘10 and ‘12.
Remember November
