Former NY Times columnist: “The Tea Party will win in the end.” “This is a nation that loathes government and always has. Liberals should not be deluded: The Goldwater revolution will ultimately triumph, regardless of what happens in November.” But Frank Rich is not happy about it: “Conservatives are the cockroaches of the American body politic.” That famous lefty “tolerance” comes shining through, as always. Right back at ya, Frankie.

But then again, according to urban legend, even after a nuclear holocaust, us cockroaches will survive.
Thanks BofA, saved that one to revisit from time to time, to break down and kinda parse in the "know your enemy" vein. So much subtle stuff jumped out at me on a first read but I won't bore you all with that.
But I do have one Q I've always wondered about. A phrase we all used growing up, "sure Chet" (way too many moons ago) everybody knew what it meant but I never knew who the hell the original Chet was and it hit me reading that. Was Chet Huntley the genesis of that phrase? Kinda bugs me not knowing after the article put it in the front of my brain.
Or was it really a regional thing and you all think I'm even crazier?
No, you're not crazy. It started with Chet Huntley, on The Huntley-Brinkley Report.
Read about half of the article before I gave up. It's the same old crapola from Frank Rich who is a biased, snide, nasty piece of work. In many ways he's a typical New York liberal, full of his own superiority and contemptuous of people in fly over country.
The liberal media is just depressed that unlike Europe the American people are individualists and can think for themselves. It's been like this since the 1700's, how soon they forget.
Yeah Frank, dumb ass conservatives always refuse to worship government. And it worked so well in the USSR. Still working great in North Korea. Right Frankie? Right?
About two years ago I was going to start writing down all the names the Commucrats have called me. I didnt, but now I could add "cockroach" to the list. That would be a new one.
The National Socialists in Germany typically portrayed folks they didn't like as vermin. Frank Rich is letting his inner Goebbels show. Scratch a liberal, underneath is a totalitarian.
And the REAL reason liberistas hate the second amendment-
They fear free people
Liberals fear those that refuse to rollover and take it. A majority of Conservatives know their constitutional rights and freedoms. I for one will refuse to give up. If liberals want to take away my rights they will have to fight me for them
Corporate Greed takes away your rights more then liberals.
I dare you to post one time without using the term "Corporate Greed" or referring to it in any way. In other words, make a valid point about something, a point that you could back up with actual facts (not facts like you find in the newspaper bizz, but actual totally real and verifiable facts).... or scurry back beneath the refrigerator of Socialism and have a nibble from the crumbs of redistribution.
I can't believe I'm wasting my awkward symbolism on a guy whom it would be much easier to just tell to shut up.

You might as well ask a dog to give milk.
He does, his other favorite post is about his belief that the primary was rigged and RP cheated. We've had enough of that topic as well. So I guess (technically speaking) he's two note rather than one note after all.
First note= corporate greed, second note= your vote doesn't matter/Ron Paul was cheated
Too bad both notes are off key.

;)
Of course, he doesn't understand what he's whistling in either note. TD,...............MO.
He only understands it when he's whistling out of his ass.
Speaking of cockroaches.
John is not a cockroach, a cockroach is useful, John is a idiot
Corporate greed is the reason you and your hero Ron Paul are regarded as jokes.
Ron Paul has 2 problems...
1. His foreign policy, despite the fact he is spot on about The Fed, has his head up his ass on Iran.
2. Followers like crowley. Guys like that turn off so many people that they hurt Ron Paul.
No. Guys like that show just where Ron Paul's philosophy eventually winds up.
They extrapolate it to it's final conclusion, delusional lunatics.

“Conservatives are the cockroaches of the American body politic.”
Well, well, well, sounds a lot like projecting to me. I fairly sure Bonfire of the Absurdities has it right with a great big: "Right back at ya, Frankie."
That would make liberals the Bubonic Plague carrying fleas, on the rats, in the sewers of America.
