Hollywood liberals loved him as they
loved the most popular bad boy in
high school.

They thought he could do damage
to traditional Christian culture
in the West.

Now that the most effective “bad boy” is
China, they love “Maoism” even more.

Too many ex-wives that still hold a grudge.

No, I'll stay on the ground and work hard to remove liberals from the republican party, even in the general election, if I have to.

NBD, I was just wondering if he was in favor of it or opposed.

He is against. See the quotes in post 30. He still talks about being against, but his U.S. backers have tried to get him to downplay it, so basically he knows says it’s only his business that it’s misconduct for Buddhists.

Ooh!

Glad to know that I am not the only fan of Ogden Nash on Free Republic.

Have always loved Nash. One of my favorites:

When called by a panther,
Don’t anther.

I could not love New York so much,
Loved I not Baltimore.

Well, hello, Dalai.
Yes, hello, Dalai.
It’s so nice to have you back
Where you belong.

I’d forgotten about him. He was great!

And smart..

To keep your marriage brimming,
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you’re wrong, admit it;
Whenever you’re right, shut up.
“A Word to Husbands” in Marriage Lines (1964)

Ogden Nash was an early inspiration to me. His wit and poetic talent together made the perfect storm. I still surf around for his poems today...they are still topical and funny.

Across the almost 16 years I've been here on this board, I've written and posted close to 400 original poems, limericks, verses of humor, praise, lampoons and burlesques.....specializing in political and cultural satire, irony, parody, lampooning and spearing the enemy with poetic stilettos.

I love being a freeper poet laureate-ette because.....

No matter which way you may skin it
Thanks to FR I need but a minute
To refute any lib
Who tells me a fib
No matter how well he may spin it!

I’ve always viewed the Dalai Lama as a shrewd businessman rather than as a holy man. He knows who butters his bread in the West (liberals), so he usually mouths liberal pieties. He screwed up once or twice with comments on homosexuality, but now he’s back on message. He says trendy things like “on economics, I’m a Marxist,” and so forth, and seems to spend a lot of time writing his own books and writing prefaces for other people’s books. His writing mostly consists of platitudes.

I met him and shook his hand once outside of an elevator. Seemed like a nice guy.

In an age of realpolitik and the appeasement of international bullies, the Dalai Lama’s altruism gives everyone the pip.

Stalin is Obama’s hero, not this gentle Tibetan.
