“...or honest observers like the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan.”

Cough...

Clarice...I ate his liver with some Fava beans and a nice Chianti...

I do agree with her analysis that too many people who should have been side by side with these citizens out in Nevada were noticeably absent from the front line...

But, you get a bunch of Veterans who only want to visit their memorials in D.C. (right in their backyard, which were shut down by you know who) and you can’t keep them away from the cameras then...Much less be silent about that kind of outrage...

I would surmise my opinion that these temporary occupants of those offices have clearly defined their opportunistic courage, and defined their subtle cowardice at the same time...

I was criticized for not being right there with Cliven Bundy getting a photo op with me shaking his hand for daring to criticize the timely aghast commentary (after the dust had relatively settled in Nevada) of Rand Paul...

I should know better than criticize such a stalwart libertarian, masquerading as a conservative...

But see...When the problem is nationwide, why does anyone really have to go on those kinds of distant road trips when you have your own similar problems brewing right here in your own neighborhood???

Just remember, people like us do not go out looking for trouble anymore...It comes and finds you...Better to fight (resist) in your own hood, where you know it and the people better than the opposition, than the alternative...

I believe we have enough beans and bullets to handle most contingencies out there...

Just my opinion...

And yes, I did read the full text at the link...;-) thanks CW...

That Latin quote was not “must be destroyed”, but “has been destroyed” — an after-the-fact report from the forces which razed it. There was an earlier quote for the prior call to destroy Carthage: “Carthaginem esse delendam”, or “to be destroyed”, before it was attempted.

Clarice Feldman is a treasure. A shame 99% of Americans have not clue one about her or her writing.
