“Acknowledging that liberalism\u2019s gonna win all the time but making sure it doesn\u2019t take the country off the rails, is what many intellectual conservatives believe conservatism is. Is that what you think you signed up for, just to be sort of a set of guardrails against extreme, wacko, leftist behavior? In other words, did you sign up to be on the Washington Generals? Well, I didn\u2019t, either.”<\/p>\n

“Football is not a contact sport. Basketball is a contact sport. Football is a collision sport, violent collision sport. If you play in the offensive line or the defensive line, you and I couldn\u2019t last one play there, folks. The average human being would be on injured reserve for your career after one play. It\u2019s like being in a car wreck without the car every play.”<\/p>\n

“It really is strange that an illegal hit to the head which leaves the quarterback woozy can be offset by an intentional grounding penalty, but that\u2019s what happened with those questionable hits on Cam Newton last night.”<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m sure Matt Lauer wishes he could grow his hair back so he could walk around disguised and unrecognized now. I mean, they tore into this guy, and it\u2019s all because Hillary bombed.  All he did was ask her questions about things they think are off-limits.”<\/p>\n

 “The game of football is never gonna be the same. This game is gonna be reviewed play-by-play within the context of our culture, social justice, political correctness.”<\/p>\n

“Hillary showed she\u2019s not equipped to deal with tough questions. She got defensive. She didn\u2019t look warm and fuzzy. This is why Biden\u2019s out there saying she\u2019s a gotta find a way to show people she\u2019s got a heart. But that\u2019s very hard for a Nurse Ratched type personality to do.”<\/p>\n

“These happen to be doctors. But they wear white coats, and they work in labs, which makes \u2019em scientists. And 71% of them think that Hillary\u2019s health concerns are so bad that she may not be qualified to hold office and an even greater number think that it\u2019s so bad that she needs to release her health records.”<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s 30 years, and we still haven\u2019t seen the real Hillary? The problem is, we have. The problem for them is that we have seen the real Hillary.”<\/p>\n

“I think much of liberalism is guided by a never disappearing chip on their shoulder. They\u2019re always mad, angry about some personal affront. And it\u2019s always something that stood in their way. It\u2019s always somebody being mean to them. It\u2019s always somebody discriminating against them.”<\/p>\n

“All this talk about how Hillary needs to warm up, she can\u2019t. She\u2019s too perpetually peeved.”<\/p>\n

“The people that are sitting down and are taking a knee during the national anthem and their supporters, are specifically claiming that it is the flag that gives them the right to sit down, to take a knee, to dissent — that that is the meaning of the flag, that patriotism does not mean required support for a country. Patriotism can be principled dissent from a country if it\u2019s doing things that you disagree with. And the flag permits this. This is how they\u2019re explaining it and rationalizing it.”<\/p>\n

“We are the luckiest people that have ever lived on this planet. And all it takes is a little perspective to realize that and then a mature admission that nothing\u2019s perfect.”<\/p>\n

“I admittedly have a love for this country, and I\u2019m very frustrated at people that don\u2019t. But I know that they exist and I know what their grievances are. I just disagree profoundly with them.  And I think the reasons they feel the way they feel, while they may think they\u2019re legit, I think they\u2019re immature and childish.”<\/p>\n

“If you were invited to appear on Larry King\u2019s TV show — I mean, if you decided to accept that — would you think that you are appearing on Russian TV? Does Larry King even know that his show is on Russian TV?”<\/p>\n

“Patriotism to the left means being able to criticize the country, burn the flag, what have you. I understand that. I just wonder, where does it end? At some point does it become patriotic to destroy the country? How far does that definition of patriotism extend?”<\/p>\n

“I think the things that happened that resulted in the founding of this country are miraculous. And even though I intellectually understand the people that have grievances, emotionally I don\u2019t. It\u2019s a real sore spot and it\u2019s been a constant source of concern of mine \u2019cause I don\u2019t know where else in the world that you could live that you would be afforded with the freedom, the opportunity.”<\/p>\n

“If you want to create this utopia, this perfect place, since there\u2019s gonna be natural opposition, you have to stamp that out and you have to have a massive command-and-control central authority which quote\/unquote ‘understands this desire for perfection, understands what the perfection is and then how to implement it,\u2019 which, of course, is totally fallacious. It simply isn\u2019t possible.”<\/p>\n

“I think one of the biggest myths that has dominated Washington is that Hillary Clinton is unbeatable, that she\u2019s frightening, that she\u2019s so dominant that nobody would ever have a prayer of beating her. I think there have been so many false narratives and illusions created about Hillary Clinton when the fact is that even on the Democrat side there aren\u2019t that many people really into her.”<\/p>\n

“The Democrats have been forced to marry Hillary. The Democrats have been forced to embrace her. The Democrats have been forced to accept, embrace, love, or say they love her. And they want us all to approve of their choice, but even they see her flaws and they\u2019re desperate for her to hide them. They\u2019re desperate for her to stop coughing. They\u2019re desperate for her to show us her heart.” <\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
