I’m a huge fan of Opinionjournal.com, mainly because one of my favorite columnists resides there. His name is James Taranto and, in addition to periodic columns which he posts, he posts a regular column during the work week entitled, “Best of The Web Today.” This column is da bomb!

A periodic subsection of Taranto’s column is entitled “Great Orators of The Democratic Party,” in which he outlines some of the legendary statements made by great Democratic leaders in the past, then contrasts that with some of the silly stuff that DNC leaders are spouting now. Here is a great example of Taranto’s “Great Orators” column:

Great Orators of the Democratic Party

• “One man with courage makes a majority.”–Andrew Jackson
• “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”–Franklin Roosevelt
• “The buck stops here.”–Harry Truman
• “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.”–John Kennedy
• “I went back and reread the whole New Testament the other day. Nowhere in the three-year ministry of Jesus Christ did I find a suggestion at all, ever, anywhere, in any way whatsoever, that you ought to take the money from the poor, the opportunities from the poor and give them to the rich people.”–John Kerry*

*The haughty, French-looking Massachusetts Democrat,
who by the way promised 121 days ago to release his military records.

Well, it seems the GOP has gotten smart (or finally bought into a darned good idea), and put up their own “Great Orators of The Democratic Party” political ad.

I’ll tell you, this ad is GOOD! Just press the play button below and see for yourself:

Brilliant!
