Dionne Macawber

EJ Dionne takes to the pulpit to lecture Americans on "gratitude," for he assumes we lack this "virture." Oddly, Dionne believes that "conservatives" do not understand why we form civil society, so he tells us the "self-made person" is a fiction, as if we thought otherwise.

Dionne wimpers on about the "politics of gratitude" and resurgence of "bleeding-heart liberalism." Dionne's menstraul whine made my eyes glaze over. Dionne Macawber kept writing in the hope he might actually write something worth reading.

Dionne wept. For he "can't know exactly where God would stand on [the] question" of the "politics of gratitude," which makes one wonder if Dionne knows where God stands on less weighty matter, for example: partial-birth abortion?

Dionne wept. For his Demopals "are casting about for new ideas that would demonstrate their 'moral values.'" Perhaps, when Dionne Micawber realizes our "customs and traditions that promote prosperity," also promote Life and do not promote same-sex marriage, he'll not have to cast about to prove to himself and others that his "moral" values are worth being grateful for.
