You didn’t read the whole article, did you?
Nope.
Don’t need to, to know that George Will is full of self importance.
Thought that was the question you asked.
I read it. It was good, for him. But, somehow, I think though it is his realization of just how momentous this election in November is. It is the last free election where actual conservatism has a chance to do something to stem the tide of the ever-increasing throngs of “rent-seekers” - the Depression Era equivalent of today’s entitlement leeches.
However, Mr. Will has been a card carrying member of the elitist Washington ‘so-called conservative’ corps for about as long as I can remember. His millieu is professional and social discourse with liberals and that tiny band of token ‘so-called conservatives’ that share the rare air in DC and other liberal environs they frequent.
I think he realizes that the potential exists that he will become irrelevant - unnecessary, because if we lose this election, there is no need for his tokenism.
I, for one, don’t really need to hear or read anything he thinks. He’s as outdated and elitist in his ideas on conservativism as is his classic bow tie.
Frankly, he knows what he’s been these last few years, and coming back into the conservative fold (or appear to), to become relevant again, is his aim. I’ll stick with the conservatives that know the real America - the ones that actually live in it.
Romney also practices social/crony corporatism. That does not distinguish him from Obama. Will is being blind or being duplicitous. Take your pick.
