Cannot watch! Will have tv off!

The SOTU is going to have as much reality and influence as a White House Correspondents Dinner. It is all farce!

In Dr. Russell Kirk's last chapter of "The Conservative Mind," Kirk reviews the works of poets and writers, quoting lines which now seem to bear a striking resemblance to the players on the stage in American politics today.

For instance, in Robert Frost's "A Case for Jefferson," Frost writes of the character Harrison:

"Harrison loves my country too
But wants it all made over new.
. . . .
He dotes on Saturday pork and beans.
But his mind is hardly out of his teens.
With him the love of country means
Blowing it all to smithereens
And having it made over new."

The pseudointellectuals who occupy the White House, the media, and much of Congress fancy themselves "intellectuals."

By their words and actions, however, they display a provinciality reminiscent of that Dr. Kirk recalls as having been described by T. S. Eliot as being one of time and place, having no intellectual grounding in ideas older than their own little experience in dabbling and discussing Mao, Marx, and other theoreticians.

America's written Constitution deserves protectors whose minds are out of their teens in terms of their understanding of civilization's long struggle for liberty.

It certainly deserves protectors who do not consider it a "flawed" document because it does not permit the government it structures to run rough shod over the rights of its "KEEPERS, the People" (Justice Story).

Blasting it "all to smithereens" seems to be the goal of the Far Left which currently has control of the Executive and Legislative branches of the government.

I’ve never been able to listen to the worlds smartest black man.
Every time I tried, I just get terribly nauseated and have to go heave. I just had a good supper and don’t want to lose it to that foreign communist POS.
However, I’ll stand by here for a blow by blow if someone else will watch.

He’s a member of the JCS. And the worst CMC in my memory.

Is it true Scalia, Thomas, and Alito are boycotting it? If so, they have more spine than our elected reps!

In a row he has lined up his ducks
And is coming for more of our bucks
So get ready for lies
That will be no surprise
And the state of our union sure sucks
