Tea at Trianon: Vance v. Walz: Patriots v. Crazies

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

Vance v. Walz: Patriots v. Crazies

From Dr. Gorka:

Although I would have liked to hear Vance ask the real question about Walz and China - i.e., how does a serving member of the National Guard visit Communist China more than 30 times? - he was clearly aiming his restrained critiques of Walz in a fashion that the non-committed or undecided who aren’t hardcore MAGA can relate to. To that end, or course he was the victor.
But at the end of the day, the harsh reality remains: of America’s two parties, one believes we don’t need borders, men can become women, and we should keep sending billions of dollars to our sworn enemies. The other party is led by and made up of those who love America and are working to save it. They want you to be part of that team. Join President Trump and J.D.
