Nice comment

Heart warming rags to riches story

Francis Pirretto's comment to a post earns memorialization in the Curmudgeonly & Skeptical  pantheon.  Note the elements that earned him this honor. Begins by making me, Rodger Schlong, look good, without being smarmy. Comment is elucidative that he actually read the post. He augments with actual quote from a smart person, which tends to associate me with knowledge. He's dead right. This is a remarkably important observation. It helps to illuminate what Thomas Sowell called "the vision of the anointed" and its effect upon the national political discourse. In short, the Democrats feel themselves to be so morally superior to those of other leanings that they feel the longstanding tradition of past presidents disinvolving themselves from politics cannot and does not apply to them. They're morally licensed -- indeed, they might well feel morally obligated -- to act as super-arbiters of all things, and the effect on the actual conduct of a successor administration be damned. Revolting. # posted by Francis W. Porretto : 7:44 AM EDT
