He has nailed it!

This is going to go right over the MAGAts heads.

They would become confused if he merely cleared his throat.

That one went over *my* head!

even though I seldom agreed with him. I read him to expand my vocabulary. In every column there were usually several words I had to look up, and I was the editor of my high school newspaper and was named the outstanding English student at my graduation. At nearly 67 I'm getting rusty, though.

....very cool about your high school English accomplishments. I've always been very interested in English and Journalism.

I never went to college and never had a career in Journalism, although my first paying job at age 15 was writing high school sports stories for a local weekly paper. I got 50 cents per column inch. My Journalism teacher got me the job as a college buddy of his was the Sports Editor at the weekly paper.

like that. He follows the tradition of old style intellectual or pseudointellectual consertvatism. Occasionally, after translating his articles into English, I actually agree with him. But that is really quite rare. This is one of the rare occasions when I do agree.

if their heads.

Will makes good point, abeit with the occasionally word cannon blasting.

My issue with him and other conservatives that have turned into virulent Never-Trumpers, is once we are through this and the country has been stabilized, will they admit that we were right about a lot of the issues that we have debated them on.

There's no need to denigrate the French. Vichy indeed. Republicans have not been invaded by gloating nazis. They invited the nazis into American politics. Will can't even apologize for the gop without deflecting to others. Own it Will, you are culpable. You helped provide cover for these atrocities. Sins beyond your small imagination. And monstrous ego.

I also love his writing even when I don't agree with him. "The senators who still gambol around his ankles with a canine hunger for petting.” LOL!

Gotta love the intro:

That was awesome.

Well said!

just put the quote on my FB wall.

-90% jimmy

... There are no GOP incumbents who deserve to be re-elected. Not one.

George Will You Just Shut the F*** Up ...

Cannot believe he has been finally illuminated

the orange fascist from the beginning, before election day. I rarely agree with George, but he is a true conservative and Trump is not.

The only thing that would make the Fort Worth Star redeemed was that Molly Irvin’s was published every Tuesday

George Will as their.regular conservative editorialist. They are a left leaning paper so the rest of their columnists have been progressive, e.g. Eugene Robinson, and a few others. But, they cut back on the number of columnists and now have 2 per day, changing them at random as far as I can tell.

anything to the left of Attila the Hun was a breath of fresh air.

Charles krauthammer, William Buckley ...

These rightwing “oh we have the best words” people have annoyed me with their erudite ways ... and they have been solidly in the republican camp for decades.

They built this monster ... I will not forget their part.

a pompous ass who confused obfuscation with genuine verbal and intellectual skill.

Krauthammer I just hated thoroughly.

ankles with a canine hunger for petting.”

This is very well stated.

You helped create it so can to you do more to stop it. I have heard your voice for decades...You do have the power of the media.

and actually brings up the racism as one of the reasons.

racist in any way. He has always been a pro-business, small government, imperialist America type conservative, but he has never seemed interested in destroying government like republicans today are, and his imperialism has never had a racial tinge to it, IMO.

Neo Cons though tend to usually hate the more common type of bigotry in the US such as racial discrimination . They also have this ideal video of the US which many might somewhat agree with but instead of working to make sure AMERICANS were benefiting from those ideals they focused more on other places .

Most liberals could already see the racism and how much it's a part of this country. Lyndon Johnson himself knew what civil rights would do when it came to support from White people, especially in the south. The NeoCon types and the Steve Schmidts would see things like civil rights legislation that were passed (and supported by liberal republicans in those days) without looking more into how it was in practice . They look at the big picture but without looking at how individuals were actually being affected. Yes, It's good we passed civil rights, but we need to make sure it's more than symbolic, that it's actually practiced on the smaller scale and people are benefiting from it.

The Al Franken interview with Steve Schmidt was interesting because it showed this about Schmidt . Similar to George Will and many other Repbulicans.

We have to address what people are being taught, without stepping on family porogatives, that is a problematic undertaking. One method that I favor is setting up public schools like in-residence private schools, without the private part. Kids would live in dorms with eachother for the school year, going home only for the weekend. There would be issues to be resolved, but if kids get to ubderstand eachother early on in their lives, that breaks down some of the barriers that have underpinned racism.

Even a pompous ass like Will gets it right about Trump.

win at election time, but locked them in the basement all other times. Now the crazies are running rampant about the house and Will in locked outside, freezing to death in the cold. Now, they want us to save the country, and by extension, save what is left of the true conservative movement.

Back when Republicans were wrong, but at least sane.

Peering into the second and third circles of hell never seemed to give him any cause for thought -- but apparently he has reconsidered somewhat now as the seventh and eighth gape before him

the TRUMP MEMORIAL WHITE SUPREMACIST SUPER HIGHWAY SYSTEM.

Screw him.

But much like Kevin Phillips, he bears some of the burden of creating the current situation.

trump's perversion of old-style conservatism is condign punishment for you and other prominent right-wingers who supported the asshole for years and now regret it. Fuck off.

I want a time machine - Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton.

Fire every single repugnant - they suck!

The words of George Will, copied and agreed with upon the pages of Democratic Underground.

Whoever coined the phrase, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", certainly knew what they were talking about.

atone for a lifetime of plutocratic fomentation of everything that's wrong now, and was wrong then. Sorry, no

Thank you

Nice to see him on the right side of history for a change.
