Thank you for this post. I disagree with this exceeedingly eloquent and carefully reasoned essay, only in that I believe the democrat party to be extremely dangerous for many years to come. I plan to benchmark Grover Norquist for future reading. He is excellent.
With all respect to you, Norquist is not excellent. He is in league with those who want to destroy America. He has never given a straight answer when confronted with his ties to jihad.
No one knows what Norquist's personal motivations are. But his public alliances are sufficient to prove he should not be given the respect of conservatives.
I agree with you except for a couple of things in the article. I don't understand the two replies just above your post. They are long time FReepers but I just don't get it.
