Hitchens...2011

Odd how many Americans can agree with Christopher Hitchens on many issues, i.e. his rage at Henry Kissinger. I sympathize totally with such disgust.
The Hitchens contempt for the Tea Party, however, is the grandest dividing line, largely due to the tea Party’s fervent belief in God and its faith in Sarah Palin whom Hitchens repeatedly heaps fear and loathing on.
Hitchens, however, warns the world to not patronize Sarah Palin!
He points out that his favorite film on American Presidential politics is Gore Vidal’s The Best Man.
With an almost bottomless irony of ironies, he further adds that at one time Ronald Reagan was considered for a role but he was dismissed as “insufficiently Presidential”.
Therein lies the substance of his concerns about Sarah Palin and her Presidential Insufficiency.
It also strengthens my faith in the fact that Sarah Palin will, indeed, be America’s next Ronald Reagan and more.
The “more”, I’m certain, is what most terrifies Christopher Hitchens.
His contempt for America and anything classically American is so deep it makes him blind. He traipses out the history of the 19th Century Pledge of Allegiance, smugly noting that the words “under God” didn’t reach the Pledge until the 1950’s. He finds it “funny” that Palin cross-referenced the Pledge of the Allegiance with the Declaration of Independence.
“God” reached the Declaration of Independence in the 18th Century. In that profoundly obvious sense she was totally correct in saying she stands with the Founding Fathers.....

Hitchens...2011
Why worry about Hitchens? He'll pass like a warm fart in winter.
And right up to the last minute with Truman, as in Chicgo Tribune’s blaring headline, “Dewey Wins.”
It was just a thought returned in kind to Hitchens who wishes Tea Partiers dead.
Christopher Hitchens is my favorite liberal.
I especially like that he is *not* part of the mainstream media.
Hitchens is an outsider who criticizes everyone. He is the ultimate cynic. He complains a lot. He criticizes the Establishment Democrats more than anyone, but he’s so obtuse not many people realize it.
If you read his original column on Slate, he is actually more favorable to Palin than he is to The Left.
In his own quirky way, I think Hitchens is taking a liking to Palin.

Things may have changed after five decades, but.
I was stationed in Germany after the war, seems they were one of the few nationalities I had anything in common with. When would go on leave and after the Brits, French, Belgians and some others, to get back to Germany was like going home.
I love that quote! Thank you for posting it. I’ve written down the story title and plan to read it!
NO cheers, unfortunately.
I wouldn't wish cancer on anyone.
Cheers!
Bless you! Thanks for the link!

Not really. Some, sure, but far less than you would like to believe.
