There is a point from the “Deplorables” speech that I have not seen mentioned. The other half.
Hillary says that the other half of the Trump supporters – the non-deplorables – are not necessarily supporting Trump because government is not helping them. This is Democrat talk and Democrat expectations.
That “other half” has loads of people who don’t want HELP from the government. They want to be left alone by the government. They want government to stop getting in the way – whether it’s taxation or regulation or whatever. The Democrat problem is that to the extent they acknowledge the existence of such people, they attribute to them base motivations like racism. To Hillary and her friends the “leave us alone” voters are part of the “deplorables.”
I’m a professional philosopher myself. Mostly I just like the great books of philosophy.
Them philosophers who argue constantly: a whole other breed of weirdo.
Credo ut intelligam.
Indeed.
Long live Anselm.
The station in Annapolis is WNAV…. I seem to recall that your occasional fellow Ricochet podcaster, and generally nice citizen Pat Sajak owns a piece of that.
