Chris Buckley. Ah well. If Ben Franklin’s kid can betray him to the British, then even the son of a conservative legends can sell out.

“Hey Chris!
You are a pussy.
Your Dad, William F. had great big cajones...
apparently there was some genetic accident.”

Paraphrasing Jurassic Park II... “Hey Chris, they say talent skips a generation; so your kids ought to be as sharp as tacks”.

Why are we wasting our time listing to this gasbag anti-conservative?

Ahh...the Vichy Republicans emerge with glowing praise and adulation at the mere sound of the Obamao’s voice..

Saruman indeed!

My congratulations to Mr. Buckley on the assuagement of his white guilt.

“Vichy Republicans”

Oh man, that is so perfect. I’m gonna use that. Hell, I’m gonna draw up a logo for tshirts with that. That’s awesome, and a picture perfect description of Buckley, Powell, et al.

Am I the only person in American that doesn’t see this amazing charisma Obama has? To me he is a boring professor,

That makes three of us...you, me and my wife.

He’s right.

Infidel Puppy:

I thought I was the only person in the world who’d seen “They Live.”

That’s brilliant of you to make the connection.

Obama left me cold the first time I heard him. Watching him become POTUS has been like living in a nightmare.

Now that the worst has happened, I’m no longer afraid or even angry.

More than half of my countrymen and -women are horrifying idiots, zombies, morons, mush-brained clowns who have as much respect for their country as they do for a wadded-up ball of tissue paper.

But I see through the Messiah, and to keep my sanity I’ve vowed to never once listen to him speak as POTUS. I will skip all of his speeches, press conferences, and interviews. This is a first for me, but I’m excited to see if I can do it.

McCain, too, was dazzled by Obama’s hip blackness and celebrity, so he couldn’t bring himself to actually defeat the guy. But there are a handful of us who were never impressed. We’re immune to the sleazy, sinister charm of this cheap, lying, thuggish, Marxist, racist Manchurian candidate.

McCain’s next role will be Obama booster. He’ll be be the guy who stymies all Republican attempts to stop the new POTUS from trashing our way of life.

Mark my words. McCain’s people are now trying to destroy Palin for the sin of believing him, so I must conclude that the man has no honor and in this election never once considered his country first.

He’ll become Obama’s go-to guy to steamroller the Republicans.

Adolescent rebellion is spectacularly pathetic when you’re 50 years old.

If it weren't for his Daddy, Chris would likely be working as an assistant manager trainee at a gay bathhouse.

With the selection of Chief of Staff (contradicting promises to be a "unifier"), it's already a failed Obama administration.

Good point - except that I'd prefer to call it "the failed Obama regime"...

Well, who’d have thought one would live to see the day, when America elected its first Muslim president?

??!

You read my mind. I saw They Live when it was first released, and saw it again a few weeks ago.

One great, small, big movie.

Oh, forgot to add...

The first time I saw the “CHANGE” posters, I thought of They Live.

As I’ve said many times: It’s not a slogan, it’s a demand.

He would get the same feeling of hope from buying a lottery ticket or gambling on a horse race.

They’re all about feelings.

With such an utterly magnificent father, how on earth did this guy get his head stuck so far up his *ss?

I confess that I have never read a Chrissy Buckley piece before.

It must have been the hand of Providence which was protecting me.

I feel a bit dumber now.
