As for me, I’d call that a much needed vacation. Of course, I’ve been known to actually work for a living, hunt and fish for food (didn’t shoot the deer, but the fish were tasty) and while not exactly Roger the landscaper from “This Old House” have been known to get some plants to grow. I also know how to use tools to build things so I wouldn’t have to sit out in the rain.

LOL. “desperately” need them? An international forum like the U.N., even with all its corruption, I would acknowledge does serve some function, even if mostly decorative. Everybody knows that real dialogue between nations, friend and enemy alike, takes place through back channel communications.

I’d like to ask this cretin just what has the U.N. accomplished lately? What has the U.N. accomplished since the Korean War? And what has the U.N. accomplished without overwhelming American financial and military support?

I can’t think of anything.

“On foreign policy, the realism and internationalism of the Eastern elitist tradition once kept the Southern-frontier warrior culture and Wilsonian messianism in check.”

Now I’m really ROTFLMAO. Realism? Bwaaaahaaahaaahaahaaa!
For your information, Mr. Hirsch, those poor uneducated Southern-frontier warrior culture types help form the backbone of our Armed Forces and as such have given and maintained the freedom that has allowed you and your Eastern elitist bungholes to sit in your bubble and congratulate yourselves on your success.

If push comes to shove I’d have those Southern-frontier warrior culture types on my team any day over you and your mealy-mouthed, pointy-headed intellectual cronies.

Seriously, I don’t even have to look it up to know, just from what he wrote, that Michael Hirsch is a solid Leftist. In addition to the obvious signs of mental illness, taking the elitist argumentive high road is something educated Liberals often do. I have had them do this several times during discussion when they blathered about Republican corruption and I named several high-profile examples of corrupt Democrites. Then they just dismissively say something like “Well, come on, they’re all politicians, that’s just the way things are done” but of course not retracting their position.

Like I am some poor unsophisticated rube not worldy enough to understand the complexities of the political landscape and so should really not be questioning their proclamations anyway, and they’ve won the argument and now it’s time to move on. When I hear that, I know I’m dealing with an elitist prick. Like this Michael Hirsch bunghole.

Sorry about the language but this twit needs to have his silver spoon pulled out of wherever it’s stuck and made to go out and get a REAL job for a few years to wake him up to reality. BTW the language is pretty mild in comparison with what the liberals post on their blogs. I just can’t be that coarse.

Lines re-written by Wright and Oprah!
“Frankly my dear I don’t give a g_______ damn, and tomorrow is another day in this now non-American Saga!” Talking about dreams (nightmares) of Obama’s Muslim father! Heaven help us. Margaret Mitchell would turn over in her grave.
