The woman whose comments that Frontline made sure to include can be found at just before 1 hour and 10 minutes of the program. (I see you link to the complete vid in your next post).<br /><br />She said "He is already the best Pope anybody can remember." No quite the best Pope evah, but close.<br /><br />The trend I noted will continue. You can bet on it. In fact, as with most things Progs come up with, it can get much worse. Here you are talking about awards before merit.

And I compared that to Obama's Peace Prize.<br /><br />Later in the day Drudge headlined the Farrow story and it prompted me to post a third comment "Something I noted in my first comment has happened again. Our Soviet-Style Media has begun a trend."<br /><br />Do you recall the Dilbert Principle? It states that unlike the Peter(!heh!) Principle, someone is promoted to their level of incompetence without ever passing through lower levels of competency.<br /><br />Knowing that, shortly after Zero took office I labeled him the Dilbert Principle President. No I'm not bragging; I think it was apparent to most thinkers that he was a nonentity from the start -- and that is your initial point about Farrow too isn't it?<br /><br />What do I think about your speculation? <br /><br />Well, we have no real idea what the powers-that-be have in store for us with either Pope Francis or Ronan Farrow. In the Frontline case, they are historically following the script of the Frankfurt School and criticize every and all institutions UNTIL the Left has taken it over. Now that Liberation Theologian "outsider" is Pope, they allow him to be called "the greatest Pope evah" without a stitch of evidence nor of contradictory commentary.<br /><br />In other words, it really does not matter what the higher powers have planned for Farrow, it is more about the process of indoctrinating large numbers of people to respond automatically to such propaganda (if they know what is good for them that is.) It's about establishing this pattern of awards before accomplishment, period, so that they can place anyone they want in power with a few chosen fine words about them.Pascalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303025432356543062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-73721213914973327472014-02-27T16:53:06.565-06:002014-02-27T16:53:06.565-06:00VP in 2016?VP in 2016?FrankChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07349761659165064987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-88784899032276763062014-02-27T16:08:34.997-06:002014-02-27T16:08:34.997-06:00Remember the old joke from the Soviet Union?

He could have gone back to school and worked towards one but he chose to do other things and someone just turned around and conferred one on him despite a lack of coursework, academic achievement or anything else noteworthy. Like Peter says, this is troubling due to the appearance of a set-up if nothing else. I agree with that assessment 100%, and I'm wondering what the quid pro quo is supposed to be here and who is on the other end.Murphy's Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17164780742334950772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-58834181569239117042014-02-27T13:16:54.314-06:002014-02-27T13:16:54.314-06:00Well, he -did- graduate from college at 15.

As for how he became a Rhodes Scholar, probably also because he's the sort of person who graduated from college when he was 15. Did you even glance at his wikipedia page? :-/wordlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12997640454166527319noreply@blogger.com
