Quote of the Day

Tuesday, June 4th, 2013

“Somehow we’ve gotten to a place where the bullying, sanctimonious, preening of Obama-style liberalism is seen as cool and rebellious. There’s no reasoning with what makes things cool. But radical? You’d have to scrape contemporary liberalism against a whetting stone for a week just to get it to “edgy” status. Virtually all the institutions of power young people interact with — schools, colleges, bureaucracies, corporations, Hollywood etc — are liberal. And yet these kids think they’re rebelling against something! What? Peaceful and hardworking Christians who live a hundred miles away?”
