Why do we keep posting this woman’s stories?

So we can make fun of her. :)

What is wrong with this broad?

Her husband was all a'twitter over Sarah Palin after her RNC convention speech. Parker didn't like it. She hasn't been the same since.

True story. :)

Parker is right -- up to a point. Measured at any given point in time, the act of averaging the political positions of all Americans will produce a center. Therefore, America is always a centrist nation.

However, that political center shifts daily, and the center is shifting right nowadays.

It is a form of masochism to publish her stuff. This is my last comment on this garbage.

Why are you so fond of posting and linking to Katty Parker?

I haven't posted an article by her since last year. But she's a good target, so why not post her stuff? :)

Thanks for the Blast from the Past.

Kathleen is not even knowledgeable enough to be a RINO. She is a latecomer with a weak resume who just happened to catch the attention of a few big conservatives.

For her to diss Sarah the way she has is just disgusting.

Count me dead center in American politics.

In other words, I’m dead center in the middle of the principles this republic was founded upon. I’m part of the “we” in “We hold these truths to be self-evident...” and “We the People of the United States of America...”

With the founders, I believe that our rights come from God, not from any man, and that those rights are therefore unalienable. I believe that the purpose of government is to protect the unalienable rights to life, liberty, and private property of ALL persons. I believe the oath of office is to fulfill the stated ultimate purpose of the Constitution, which is to “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves AND OUR POSTERITY.”

And no matter what ditch anyone else falls into on either side of the road, that’s where I intend to stay.

America is left and right, and certainly not centrist.

Good points.

Kathleen Parker; yet another chi-chi “conservative” who couldn’t hit the water if she fell out of the boat. She’s the reason why we have people like John “You Have Nothing to Fear from a President Obama” McCain still mucking up the works. No spine, too cerebral and not willing to get her hands dirty. Ugh.

the further left the left goes, the further left it drags the "center" and the right.

That's how a Scott Brown can get away with calling himself a republican; even a "conservative."

Meanings change when people spend their lives sitting on their asses in front of the television.
