A Twitter Chat Between Charles C W Cooke and GareBear 75

Charles C W Cooke – NRO Blogger - Harry Reid’s Two Minute Hate on the Philanthropist Koch Brothers

British Atheist – (Christopher Hitchens wannabe?) – Charles C.W. Cooke continues to comment on Tory Conservative American politics.

I never really thought about how hate of the Charity of the Koch Bothers is what is making the Democrats jealous enough to cripple the democratic process in the Congress.

An atheist defending the Koch’s Charity is a bit much on the ass kissing even for a Brit Twit Oxford elitist mis-educated Royalist Charlie Cooke.

The answer was there all along. Good closeted Christians like the Kochs are being persecuted for their charity and faith by the evil atheists of the Democratic Party. Who would of thought it except maybe the son of a peer from Britain.

Oh us dumbed down stupid colonials. Give us back a rational government. Give us a Queen (not in drag of course)? lol

Charles C.W. Cooke Defending the Koch Brothers From Democrats and Their Unjust Hardcore Political Hate…

“But the Kochs are not as simple as the hysteria would have them be. Indeed, even the lightest of research reveals them to be in favor of gay marriage, of drug legalization, of reforming and expanding the immigration system, of withdrawing troops from the Middle East, of cutting defense spending, of curbing the NSA’s overreach, and of helping to balance the budget by raising (some) taxes…” NRO March 6, 2014

Pope Francis Appoints 19 New Cardinals - Snubs United States - National Review Puts GOP Spin on Francis' Appointments

Francis is starting to make a mark on his Papacy. His appointment of 16 voting eligible out of 19 newly appointed Cardinals makes a mark indirectly on his successor. The greedy power hungry United States Archbishops got a snub on this round of appointments. 

The Archbishop of Westminster in London got his red hat as an English Speaking cardinal. Archbishop of Westminster Nichols defended clergy in the recent child abuse scandals in Ireland. A poor but probably political appointment.

National Review Online puts its GOP spin on the Francis snub to US appointments. Snub? Or just a message to the RNC?

There are zero new cardinals from the United States – probably an indication that the pope thinks the U.S. is already overrepresented in the college. (Brazil, with130 million Catholics, has five voting-age cardinals. The U.S., with 78 millionCatholics, has eleven.) Many will be surprised that the archbishop of Los Angeles, José Gómez, wasn’t on the list; that appointment would have given a shot in the arm to California Catholics after the scandal-plagued tenure of Roger Cardinal Mahony. 

But the pope’s decision was actually a conservative one, based on a longstanding Vatican tradition: When an archdiocese’s previous cardinal is still under 80 and thus eligible to vote in a conclave, his successor is not elevated to the cardinalate. (Pope Benedict XVI broke with this precedent to appoint Boston’s Seán Patrick O’Malley to the cardinalate in 2006, even though his predecessor, Bernard Cardinal Law, was still under 80. But Francis has decided to go back to standard Vatican practice, on this if not on other things.)

They are the following:

16 Voting Cardinals:

1 – Abp. Pietro Parolin, Secretary of State.
2 – Abp. Lorenzo Baldisseri, Secretary of the Synod of Bishops.
3 – Abp. Gerhard Ludwig Műller, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
4 – Abp. Beniamino Stella, Prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy
5 – Abp. Vincent Gerard Nichols, Westminster (England and Wales).
6 – Abp. Leopoldo José Brenes Solórzano, Managua (Nicaragua).
7 – Abp. Gérald Cyprien Lacroix, Québec (Canada).
8 – Abp. Jean-Pierre Kutwa, Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire).
9 – Abp. Orani João Tempesta, O.Cist., Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).
10 – Abp. Gualtiero Bassetti, Perugia-Città della Pieve (Italy).
11 – Abp. Mario Aurelio Poli, Buenos Aires (Argentina).
12 – Abp. Andrew Yeom Soo-jung, Seoul (Korea).
13 – Abp. Ricardo Ezzati Andrello, S.D.B., Santiago de Chile.
14 – Abp. Philippe Nakellentuba Ouédraogo, Ouagadougou (Burkina
Faso).
15 – Abp. Orlando B. Quevedo, O.M.I., Cotabato (Philippines).
16 – Bp. Chibly Langlois, Les Cayes (Haiti).

Cardinals over 80:

1 – Abp. Loris Francesco Capovilla, Titular of Mesembria (former secretary to John XXII).
2 – Abp. Fernando Sebastián Aguilar, C.M.F., Emeritus of Pamplona (Spain).
3 – Abp. Kelvin Edward Felix, Emeritus of Castries (St. Lucia).

Ted Cruz Moons Raul Castro At Mandela Funeral - "Kiss My Shiny White Canadian Heiny You Commie Bitch!" - LOL

Katherine Lopez’s sorority newsletter reports that Ted Cruz went all the way to Nelson Mandela’s memorial service in South Africa, traveling thousands of miles and spending tens of thousands of dollars on the taxpayers’ dime to go to the bathroom when the scheduled head of the Cuban state Raul Castro made remarks in eulogy of Mandela.

Raul Castro later remarked “Like father, like son. We sent gopher Rafael Cruz out for coffee. He also took a powder and missed a revolution. And he never returned the coffee money…”

Boutique Journalist John J. Miller, National Review, Complains About Michigan “Journalist” Law

The Nanny Michigan State Legislation is about to shatter the illusions of or is it delusions of Boutique Journalist John J. Miller over at the NRO – National Review Online.

In my recent research into the shards of what used to be the National Review of my youth, of several decades ago, I have been trying to put a finger on the outrageously overrated print child of William F Buckley Jr. and his bastion of right wing moneyed privilege and values at the old NR, what it has become in the modern Internet digital age.

Buckley spent decades on PBS, a government subsidized vehicle, for his Firing Line  series which was amusing at times if only to see how many of a dozen new exotic words Buckley would use in his one trick monkey bit to impress and push the conservative agenda, a decidedly viable political view in those older early days.

But I guess Mr. Miller who teaches on some subsidized teaching “Dow” research grant at some conservative college, Hillsdale, is trying to educate his Republican State Legislature that a new hard on GOP bill to define “Journalism” would take that title away from him and jeopardize his right to write in the public forum.

The legislation is a layer of nanny rules, more GOP (BIG) government to prevent Ambulance Chasing Lawyers from giving you a telemarketing call on your land line (dial) telephone, from them having access to accident reports at the local police station.  Only Journalists should have access to public information and not lawyers.  It never occurs to the Pubs in Lansing that maybe they could forbid advertising by lawyers or solicitation of business by phone etc. That I think would violate the myth of the pure open market religion of the far right.

Of course, if real market forces existed in America, the National Review would not, could not exist.  Each of its various departments specializing in content like law reviews or market forces or voodoo creationist science in Planet Gore, each command subsidy from various think tanks, much in the same way the Corner has become the Church Ladies corner under K-Lo and in deference to the uber-uber-Catholicism founder Bill Buckley Jr.

According to this new nanny regulation law, Journalists would have to be connected to hard print newspapers or magazines that print at least once a week which the apparently hard copy National Review does not.  

One would not know this fact, given that I read Mr. Miller’s piece on National Review NRO online that streams non-stop with, and in the “Corner” an online version of “News” with its ascetic style to underline links or PR Press Releases which is the whole real reason for the articles I think in the “Corner”. With Kathryn Lopez trying to build another career over at the Church Ladies league, The National Review these days in the Online Corner side seems like one long stream of RC Bishop press releases with Kathryn cut and pasting a few dozen words around every new underlined link.

But John J. Miller has lived in a bubble world that the rest of us are not privileged to be part of. Other real journalists are scrambling for jobs as newspapers close and newspapers online consolidate and try to figure out how to make a profit under real market forces and not being subsidized in Boutique Journalism with that of Mister or is it Professor Miller.

One of the marketing forces dictating work in the real world, and not the subsidized world of boutique journalism is also in being a burden on the company, in terms of salary and benefit costs, in being passed the 40 years of age mark as the red flags go up in the HR (personnel) department.  Mr. Miller, I hope his job at the college is secure on that score. Whatever.

Michigan lawmakers are mulling a bill that would definte the word “journalist.” This is a bad idea, as I explain in today’s Detroit News. For one thing, those of us who report and write for National Review wouldn’t qualify as journalists–and neither would writers for theAtlantic, Mother Jones, and Reason.

About the author 
John J. Miller is director of the Dow Journalism Program at Hillsdale College and a longtime reporter for National Review. His latest book is “The Big Scrum: How Teddy Roosevelt Saved Football.” …and The Unmaking Of Americans: How Multiculturalism has Undermined the Assimilation Ethic (1998, ISBN 0-684-83622-X)
