Sound Bites

RedStateVT agrees that General Stanley McChrystal had to go. His lack of judgment is frankly, unfathomable. President Obama handled the situation well. Yes, you read that correctly.

When things go wrong, they often go really wrong. First Al Gore’s global warming agenda gets derailed by Climategate. Then his marriage ends. And now he is accused of lascivious behavior. We wish him no ill will. Except on the global warming thing.


“Virtue was the way that free people used to deal with their necessities. It took industry, frugality, and responsibility, for example, to go to work every morning to provide for your family. It took courage to handle the fears that inevitably come with life, especially in old age. But the new social and economic rights tended to undercut such virtues, subtly encouraging men and women to look to the government to provide for their needs and then to celebrate that dependency as if it were true freedom.” (Charles R. Kesler, Imprimis, May/June 2010)
