Charles Krauthammer; part2

The following is a follow up on my post Friday January 8 2010.

Thank you Cameron for bringing this to my attention!

I regret not having done a more thorough research, before posting.

The following still a true sentiment by this author:
Having moved here from the Netherlands in 1988,
I have always admired
"the American way"... "The American Dream".... "The emphasis on one's freedom"....
This is a country where it is possible to roll up your sleeves,
work hard and make things happen for oneself...
This is a different story for the Netherlands.
Because of their liberal/socialistic way governing the country, things are very different there.

Now I am seeing our country heading in that direction and it has me concerned!
The ramifications are staggering for us, our children and their children.

Statement from Dr. Charles Krauthammer
about his American Experiment Annual Dinner Remarks

A number of people have asked about the availability of an audio recording or transcript of Charles Krauthammer’s brilliant remarks at American Experiment’s 2009 Annual Dinner on June 1. We’re sorry, but Dr. Krauthammer has informed us that he does not disseminate comments made at private events. He also has advised us that a summary of his speech on the Internet is “neither accurate nor authoritative.” His full statement follows. The Center regrets any disappointment or confusion.

This account is neither accurate nor authoritative. My views on Obama are well known. I’ve explained them in a series of five columns. (See below.)

This email is somebody putting his own ideological stamp and spin on my views.

One giveaway of the superimposition of someone else's views on mine is the rather amusing use of phrases that I never use. To take just a few examples randomly: "God forbid," "far left secular progressive," “this is the first president ever who has chastised our allies and appeased our enemies!” “no country had ever spent themselves into prosperity,” and, the real doozy,"states rights.”

My views are clearly spelled out in that series of columns and subsequent writings. Anyone who wants to know my views should consult those and not this email.
