Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
Welcome to the Harvard Lunch Club Podcast — the (Basket Full of) Deplorables edition – with nanophycisist Mike Stopa and radio talk host Todd Feinburg. Our topics:
- Hillary engages in deplorable hate speech, calling half of Trump supporters “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it.” Is this a campaign killer?
- Trigger warnings and reaction to the University of Chicago’s War on Triggers.
- Hillary collapsed Sept. 11, but didn’t hit the ground when she was caught by members of her Secret Service detail.

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.
