Jed Babbin is yesterday’s garbage, but why spread the attack to true conservatives like Ann Colter, and David Limbaugh?

Human Events has a rather bumpy record WRT conservatism that goes back before Jed Babbin though. ( and I hate their outrageous promotion of costly trinkets to their subscribers)

...despite John McCain's support for taxpayer funding for both embryonic stem cell research and Planned Parenthood; despite his belief that babies in the womb do not possess a God-given unalienable right to life that no state may violate; and despite his opposition to a Human Life Amendment--the core plank of the Republican Party--McCain too is "solidly pro-life"...

McLame ping!

From reading this thread, the term “prophet in the wilderness” comes to mind... “a stubborn and stiff-necked people” does too..

It is no surprise that I agree with, and endorse your position, I suppose. The “conservative media” was so in-the-bag for the RNC picks that it was absolutely appalling- Though that Romney was able to buy his way was less disgusting to me personally than the sickening fawning over Giuliani that caused me to forever remove Hannity from my radio-listening day, and FauxNews from my TV’s clicker programming.

Even Limbaugh, in his reticence, in not pounding home the need for Conservatism, and at least identifying the true Conservatives in the field (I know he will not specificaly endorse), allowed the pretenders (McCain, Romney, and Thompson among them) to run off with the Conservative banner.

That any would stand here on FR to defend the likes of these as Conservatives would have been hilarious but a few years past. That they are now openly defended as “conservatives”, along with the new generation in Steele, Palin, and Jindal, shows just how effective the assault through “conservative media” has been. Freepers holding hands with PUMAs... Voting for moderates at best. How far we have fallen...

What I find particularly amusing however, is the accusations thrown at you- Most of which, unknown to your accusers, are the greatest of compliments to Conservatives.

First it was “no third parties till after the primaries”, then it was “no third parties till after the election, then we’ll clean up our house”... Now it’s “Gee, we really can’t afford to rock the boat now, we need all the help we can get”

What a bunch of bedwetters! These be Freepers? This is principle?

Live free or... not... maybe.. It’s Friday after all... There’s ice cream on Fridays... /sarc

Peace, brother... It’s a loooong row to hoe.

@rabs=thx for the ping...
