He should be reported to the state medical association.

On second thought, no. He should have his tires slashed.

“He should be reported to the state medical association.”

That would be like reporting Nancy Pelosi to the DNC for excessive leftism, wouldn’t it?

That’s possible, but I think things like that should go on the record.

That’s called “lying for justice”.

Anyone who actually “coverts” to liberalism from conservatism was never a conservative.

Well, unless they had somehow developed brain damage.

No one with their brains about them can support the logical inconsistencies of liberalism.

"I had the unfortunate experience a week ago of taking my daughter to a doctor just like the “Ann” described above. The visit ended with him waving his arms in the air and expostulating, “Your religious views are tearing apart everything we’re trying to do here.”"

This "doctor" is about the most unprofessional I've ever heard of. This violates just about every ethical standard I've ever heard of. One thing you do as a doctor is treat people respectfully, and leave politics/religion/race/sexual orientation etc., OUT. I'm embarrassed for this guy.

This guy “Lorne” sounds like your basic milquetoast, which would make sense given the pushy goofball he married.

““I like to think of it as a type of Thanksgiving, restablishing that connection on a human level”

Half the fun of Thanksgiving is the political brawl the dinner conversation eventually turns into.

"The high point of my Democratic life was Mike Dukakis’s nomination acceptance speech. I probably voted for him, but don’t remember"

I DID vote for that guy. I can't believe how stupid I was at 20 years old. It took me until the election of BJ to realize how pathetic liberals are. I dislike the useless republicans, but I hate democrats with every fiber of my being. I will never vote for a dem again.

Most true conversion stories are from left to right because occasionally people grow up.

Yeppir, that's the kind of chick I'm looking for, one who rants about union busting on a first date. Leftist chicks write about things so that they seem like a Harlequin romance. A boring Harlequin romance, but a Harlequin romance, nonetheless.

My date for the evening, Alan, leaned over towards me, and breathed into my ear, "You make me hotter than all those factories are making the earth." I thought for a moment about how he had the same first name as Alan Alda. He leaned back, his hemp shirt opening slightly to show his smooth pigeon-like chest, sipping his white wine and picking up some brie.
"I know it's supposed to be red wine with cheese, but hey, I'm a rebel." My heart started to beat faster. If only he had breasts, he'd look just like Jane Fonda, before the aerobics.
"If only..." he trailed off.
"If only what?"
"If only those damned swift boaters hadn't lied about John Kerry, we could make love under a Democratic moon tonight." A tear trickled down his cheek.
I felt his pain, but I was ready, and would not be deterred. I sashayed over to the corner and picked up his "Obama" sign, it's shaft felt hard and my hand barely went around it.
"Let's do it!" I gasped. "Let's plunge it all the way in! I don't care what the Clintons think anymore. I want his sign in our yard."
As I started out the door, I saw he was crying. "What's the matter Alan?"
"I don't have a hammer! I've been trying to get it in for over a month, but it's no use! I just...can't...get it in."
Stunned, the stick I'd held so lovingly a moment ago now hung limp at my side. Finally, I spoke. "You FAG! What kind of man doesn't have a hammer? I'm finding a conservative! At least they know how to stick a piece of wood in the ground, and all of them have hammers AND screwdrivers!"
Hey, I could write for the Times.

"Anyone who actually “coverts” to liberalism from conservatism was never a conservative."

I've never met anyone who honestly rejects conservatism and becomes a liberal either. Who would think like that? "Gee, I'm really not paying ENOUGH in taxes. America IS the source of evil in the world. I thought abortion was the taking of a human life, NOW I reject that. I'm overweight, so thank goodness the government won't LET me eat trans-fats. I'm TIRED of being able to decide what kind of car to buy. etc"

Wow, a lying democrat. I am just shocked.

Good job finding this. I like the way they show this author for what she is.

If it were me, she would never have made it to dessert.

Are all leftie women repulsive? Hill, Jane, Liz, Rosie, the View. I guess the answer is yup.

Remember Chablis

Twenty years after a sex-filled weekend on a boat, more than the memory of steak on a stick remains. Bestselling novelist Ann Hood reports.

I know the New York Times has fact checkers

The "fact checkers" check the "facts" to determine whether or not they will adequately advance the progressive agenda, and if not, they find other, ideologically superior "facts" to use in their place. It is hard work, and sometimes the "fact checkers" fall behind, but the NYT presses roll regardless.

Great story.

Being a conservative myself, I keep two hammers around. That way I can chuck one, while screaming profanities, after I squash my damned thumb. And I still got one left to finish the job at hand.

That's why I'd never wrap a fish with it. You'd never be able to get that newspaper smell off the fish.

ROTFL!!!
That's a Great Line!
Mind if I steal it from you?
LOL

I really enjoyed reading that bit of on-the-spot prose.

Real women demand conservative men.
