AG Bill Barr: Progressives Want To “Convert Us Into 25-Year-Olds Living In The Government’s Basement”:
“ATTORNEY GENERAL WILLIAM BARR: While many factors have contributed to the polarized politics of today, I think one significant reason our politics has become so intense and so ill-tempered is that some in the so-called “progressive” movement have broken away from the fold of liberal democracy to pursue a society more in line with the thinking of Rousseau than that of our nation’s Founders. That has played a major role in our politics becoming less like a disagreement within a family, and more like a blood feud between two different clans.”
It’s a horribly unprofessional speech from the Attorney General of the United States, who is supposed to make an effort to be seen as above partisanship. But making such an effort is now “deep state” or something. If you’re not bashing Trump’s enemies and defending his friends, you have no place in this administration and no place in the conservative movement anymore.
Used to be that debate “moderators” were eager to participate as that was seen to help advance their career. What with the Demwit debate debacles, it’s more like punishment since those on stage squabble like angry kindergarteners.
And the ratings continue to slide into the sewer . . . . . . .
AG Barr’s outstanding speech

Thanks Peggy, that was excellent.
