NRO's The Corner: Obamacare ‘like a house on fire’ with more flammable parts yet to come

by Mona Charen April 30, 2016 7:39 AM @monachareneppc

Is Jay Nordlinger mournful? Am I? Maybe, but you can’t tell from this week’s supercharged podcast which powers through the news with the speed of a locomotive. We condemn and praise (Boehner, Ferrell, Coburn, many more), throw in a few anecdotes, and dispense justice with a swift (rhetorical) sword. This is the paradigmatic Charen/Nordlinger podcast. No holds barred.

Are you an accredited university?

No. PragerU is not a university and we do not offer degrees. But we are the most influential online resource for explaining the concepts that have made America great.

Did Bush Lie About Iraq? presented by Judith Miller

Judith: "To answer this profound question, we must be very careful to parse the word 'lie', so as to distinguish it from telling untruths. For example, we can be absolutely certain that Cheney lied through his teeth about Iraq. And we also know that Bush was told the truth about Iraq by a variety of different sources. But we are forced to consider the very remote possibility that Bush chose not to believe the truth and preferred to believe the lies, which he then passed along to the rest of the world as the truth. Which action may be indistinguishable from lying in ordinary sense of the word, but technically is only telling untruths while claiming they are true. Next question."

I want to leave a note here, because I expect to have many occasions to link back to it in the next several months. Americans and Republicans, remember: You asked for this. Given the choice between a dozen solid conservatives and one Clinton-supporting con artist and game-show host, you chose the con artist. You chose him freely. Nobody made you do it.

I will be reminding you all of that, from time to time.

now that's some tasty anger

aww

ooh better bookmark this then

You guys should read Michael Potemra today.

waht

The more I think about Senator Cruz’s stunning announcement last night that he is suspending his campaign, the more brilliant I think it is. The No. 1 political handicap he had in this campaign is that people thought he was too nakedly ambitious, too laser-focused on his own advancement, as opposed to, e.g., the good of the party. But in one fell swoop last night, he managed to put paid to this idea. He could have stayed in the race and played a backroom guerrilla war for the next couple of months, delegate by delegate. But he looked at the Indiana results . . . and stepped away. In future years – and even later this year, if something cataclysmic happens to Trump and Republicans need another nominee — conservatives, and the GOP, will not remember just the Ted Cruz whose ambitions many of them distrusted earlier in the year. They will also remember the man who showed a hell of a lot of grace in bowing out. Cruz looks pretty good as Cincinnatus at the plow.

Given the choice between a failed IT exec who laid off 30,000 workers, a minister who recorded a campaign commercial featuring over 4 dozen separate shots of him playing with his phone, a libertarian who opposes the civil rights act of 1964 while also claiming to be the "greatest defender of minority rights", a guy whose homophobia prompted a campaign to make his last name synonymous with anal froth,
a dozen solid conservatives, a new jersey governor reviled by his own constituents, a louisiana governor reviled by his own constituents, a man who believes that joseph built the pyramids - not aliens, as various scientists believe - to store grain and likes to brag about how he almost stabbed a guy, a robo-candidate who has never actually accomplished anything other than drinking water, a privileged scion who helped his brother steal the presidency and then went out of his way to keep a feeding tube in terry schiavo's throat, a 2012 candidate laughingstock whose only adjustment for 2016 was to start wearing glasses, a lesbian hawk from south carolina, and literally the most hated man in america, an ohio governor who wanted to give hip-hop a shot so bought a Roots cd only to be dismayed that the music "was intended to shock and titillate, for no good reason but to shock and titillate", and one Clinton-supporting con artist and game-show host, you chose the con artist. You chose him freely. Nobody made you do it.

I will be reminding you all of that, from time to time.

The contest is now between Hillary Clinton vs a Hillary Clinton donor.

goole! Your boy told NPR this morning that he wouldn't vote for Trump or Clinton, "which creates a real dilemma for some of us."

wait which one is my boy again?

we await dna evidence

"Cruz looks pretty good as Cincinnatus at the plow."

are you fucking serious. cincinnatus was famous because he had absolute power and relinquished it. he didnt take a break for a sec before resuming his ludicrously ambitious desire to become president in spite of not having any actual talent or charisma or a constituency that wants him to be anywhere near power..

wait which one is my boy again?

"The Innsmouth Look" is also a useful descriptor, if not as popular

Americans and Republicans, remember: You asked for this. Given the choice between a dozen solid conservatives and one Clinton-supporting con artist and game-show host, you chose the con artist. You chose him freely. Don't waste your time on me, you're already a voice inside my head. Nobody made you do it.

btw Karl yr post is genius, thank you

David Bowie’s song “Heroes” made NR’s list of the greatest conservative rock songs almost exactly a decade ago. Now it has inspired the title of NR contributor Robert Dean Lurie’s excellent new ebook, We Can Be Heroes: The Radical Individualism of David Bowie. Lurie makes the wise observation (which never had occurred to me) that the song probably was inspired at least in part by the characters Winston and Julia in George Orwell’s 1984. But that’s just a throwaway observation in a relentlessly smart book about Bowie. Here’s the thesis:

David Bowie, quite simply, was the most radically individualistic popular entertainer we have ever seen. He took individualism to a place where he gave himself nearly complete artistic freedom, while still working within the bounds of taste and beauty. We don’t get Howard Roarks in real life. But we did get David Bowie.

Roark is a reference to Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead, but don’t worry: Lurie has not written a piece of objectivist propaganda. Instead, he has given us a skillful tribute to a wonderful and beguiling entertainer. If you’re one of those conservatives who, like me, thinks we need to be more engaged with pop culture (because “politics is downstream of culture”), then We Can Be Heroes is for you. It’s also just $2.99. Just buy a copy already.

I HATE IT WHEN THEY EXPLAIN THEIR REFERENCES

the song probably was inspired at least in part
