As a subscriber, I don’t think David French is a good addition to your pool of contributors. He’s one of those Beltway insiders who has been around forever and, in my eyes, has very little credibility. This article is not the fresh, insightful commentary I have come to expect from “Common Sense.”

I don’t agree, per se. I think that this French piece, while setting in to his typical brush off of abuses by Hillary, et al it’s still good for us to read and see more than just our own right wing pundits’ yells.
The thing is though, that I can predict with 90% reliability what any article by French will say.
What I’m irritated by is that the beautiful mature advice for us all to “keep our heads” always emerges when some gestapo action is taken by the Left (Dems, Press, take your pick) or city burning , border invite for human trafficking and fentanyl, etc it’s just fine and in fact ignored. But let ANY reaction on the Right , say some parents objecting to their children being secretly doped up for gender change or indoctrinated to destroy their childhood and our reaction is regarded as just cause for the FBI to lock us up. And French will write us a dissertation on why we miss an important justification for the Dem’s objective.
Hillary must be cackling drunk right now. And if Hunter is cognizant, he’ll just grin as he gets on the Big Guy’s AF1 and go do another deal with China while the media practices “hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil”.
I subscribe and have from the beginning to CS but I have always been just a bit wary of her claims to be a free speech advocate > Her efforts while at Columbia to get Muslim professor's fired for what she perceived as anti-semetic speech can be found at the the Glenn Greewalds article at the Intercept May 2018 . I read all of the writers featured on CS although I do wonder if free speech is awarded only to those who are on Bari's Rolodex.
Understood all of it including the caveat at the beginning. There is no point in sharing such sloppy thinking unless it is an example of just that. The caveat should have read "This is really stupid but is intended as an example of really stupid."
"Hi, I’m Steven, and I’ll be your server tonight. I want to start with a warning. This is going to be a thoroughly unsatisfactory meal. I’m not going to serve you any meat, fish, or vegetables. I’m barely going to feed you at all. But I’ve seen enough sheer nonsense at other restaurants that I think it’s necessary to weigh in with a few thoughts.”

This is a very moderate, level-headed argument in this article. If you want to see hysteria go to cable news.

Hillary is making “But Her Emails” merch.
Agree!

Well, she is human. And she is the best we’ve got.
plus, she is on vacation...sooo
It's a rhetorical device to predict and, in French's little mind, nullify any criticism of his column right at the outset. Dumb.
His little tiny mind.
It was thoroughly unsatisfactory, and not worth the read.

What a condescending response. I agree with Jasper.

very funny...yep
Great post! However, we prepaid the the meal. Do we leave a tip? ( Have at it. I wrote a hanging curveball of a comment for every to rip.)
Tried to give you a head's up for that morning gem but Bari's buttons don't always function.
Like when she's offering up French.
