Not really sure why John thinks plagiarizing long swaths of Horowitz’s hate screeds advances… any actual idea…
But he does it quite regularly now. He barely adds a sentence at the top or tail.
Largely, I surmise, because he is literally out of… ideas.
All of which fits well with the idea that he’s lost touch with what 21st Century America is really… all about.
In fact, all the Powerline boys (and Horowitz) long for a return to the 19th Century. Not even the 1950s — their economic ideas of protectionism, and stifled business speech… haven’t held currency among respectable professions… in over 120 years.
Of course, Tangerine emboldened them but he — like them… soon enough, will have died or been carted off to a memory care facility.
And no one will rise, and stand — to fill their shoes. Their filched, late one and a half century outmoded ideas (such as they are) will turn to dust, in their graves… with their withered bodies.
I’m completely okay with that. Old, dead ideas sometimes have to wait a tick, to die off.
That is, I have come to believe these boomers cannot hear reason any longer — like the Christmas bell, cut from the sleigh harnesses, in The Polar Express… reason is beyond the reach of their ears, and thus their minds.
Good bye. And… good riddance, boys.
No one will miss you.
