You seem to be implying that she is bad for the cause. I heartily disagree. She can be a step towards a conversion from liberalism towards conservatism. I am surprised you don't see this. It won't happen overnight. Have you read the columns of Ben Shapiro? He is only 20 years old. Perhaps he's the forerunner of a new conservatism. He's alot smarter than Coulter.

Oh, I do. I have more than a couple books by Horowitz at my house. (One of which I begged a visitor to JUST PLEASE TAKE WITH HIM recently. =)

That's why I loathe him so. I read him and he snowed my ass. I don't think everyone has the dumb luck to get past people like Coulter or Horowitz or the gamut of other entertainers posing as analysts out there for whom it's fun to cheer (or lust for, as the case may be).

Because they lack substance and stick to the surface as a rule, they're only good for corraling folks into the morass of the middle.

I honestly think that will be our death ... that darkness falling thanks to the "personally opposed, but ..." mindset by which we keep our True Light carefully out of the Public Square ... saving our "offense" for arch, homosexual style bitching like queens (against our own, as often as not) with a sound and fury signifying nothing at the end of the day where the Good Fight's concerned.

PBA Ban? Parental Consent? It's not just that these are potemkin measures which (except in Utah, where parental consent is concerned) MEAN NOTHING, it's the way a party whose mantra on the question of abortion is "rape or incest only" cannot suddenly revoke that conclusion that abortion is okay sometimes. For Pete's sake, it's been the cornerstone of their Compromise for 30 years!

It's the foot in the door which will keep abortion legal, in other words. "Well, the pro-life Republicans have ALWAYS said that it's okay in the case of rape or incest."

Even on a subject so critical as the killing of the unborn (much less their manufacture for industrial applications by biotech profiteers), it's the GOP who holds the line and crosses into Brave New Frontiers of "humanitarian" research.

I guess eventually folks will wake up and see how silly is the pretense of "partisanship" or how shallow are those around whom we flock at Fox News and "acceptably tolerant" conservative publications sans any theory about the "conspiracy" which the likes of Lenin felt defined the Revolution as a rule.

Ask Whittaker ... he'll tell you how cells work. And, with Nixon's cattle prod, you may even find homosexuality has more to do with the equation than not.

Thanks for the link, btw ... I'll check him out.

Smarts don't mean as much to me as integrity or "wholeness" and consistency do.

But I suspect we're simpatico on that score.
