I tell you what - since this aging, white, bitter clinger seems to offend you libtards so much I intend to withdraw and let you have it - minus my money of course. Steal it from someone else.

[Behind the Blue Wall]

I’ll go against the grain here and agree with much of what Geharty is saying, with the caveat that without the leftist media out there covering for them, the Democrats would be exposed as the meanest, nastiest bunch of scoundrels this side of the Bolsheviks.

But . . . alas the leftist media is still in control of the dominant narratives in this country and it doesn’t help anything for conservatives to feed into the notion that we “hate” women, gays, blacks, Latinos, etc. It’s not true, at least for me. I truly believe that conservative ideas and policies will result in better lives for nearly everyone (except maybe Democratic politicians, union bosses and welfare cheats). I don’t see why we can’t express our ideas in the public realm in ways that reflect that.

Mr. Geraghty, you’re a waste of oxygen. Happy Thanksgiving!

[RKBA Democrat]

What a complete pansy. Additional proof, if any was needed, that the gop and it’s cheerleaders are long overdue in assuming their spot on the trashheap of history.

[SuziQ]

Actually, it was a BLACK columnist who first coined the term “Barack the Magic Negro”, but that fact is lost on blacks who are just looking to be offended by Republicans.

[zeestephen]

Jim Geraghty claims that Obama ran up “huge margins” with women and young people.

Only half true.

Romney got a majority of white women, white young people, and married women.

The Democrats and the MSM have spent the last year pounding the theme of racial division.

The result?

Obama was reelected.

But Romney got the highest percentage (61%) of white voters in modern times.

That percentage will go up in 2016, and so will white voter participation.

So the Democrats want a political race war?

Believe me, dudes, you just got it.

Who left the door unguarded, an let this dreck be posted

[man_in_tx]

Pathetic. We must cater to the sensitivities of the “lady-parts” crowd in our every expression of opinion — lest we be tarred and feathered (figuratively-speaking only, thus far, at least) as “mean,” “contemptuous,” etc.

By the way, does this Geraghty fellow even have a clue about how Islam really works? I suggest that he needs to read “Atlas Shrugs” blog daily for three months and then write a piece about what he has learned.

May I suggest that the reality of 80-85% of voting US Muslims going for Obama is not because Ann Coulter said “ragheads.” It has to do with agendas.

[windsorknot]

It's time to ignore the PC Crap; the left will accuse us of racism, bigotry, homophobia, etc. no matter what. Just keep the eye on the ball, not on diversions created by the enemy.

[TChad]

I just don't buy it.

Those (few) nominal, temporary members of the 47% who would have preferred to be fully self sufficient probably did not find Romney's comment insulting or threatening, because THEY DON"T IDENTIFY WITH THE 47%. They probably heard Romney and said "Exactly right!"

As for Rush's comments about Fluke, they are taken out of context here. As usual. In the same little rant Rush referred to himself and his audience as pimps and johns. Were those intended as serious insults? No? So "slut" was dead serious, but those others insults were just jokes? Hokay. I have had it with people who work so hard to misunderstand Limbaugh's humor. Screw 'em.

[wardaddy]

More nro Yankee what culture war jackass preening bullshit
Needs lotsa rope...hemp...only the best for quislings

Is that mean and nasty enough Jimmy. Boy....you wobbler sorry excuse for a man

[grey_whiskers]

To his credit, Rush quickly apologized and said he regretted speaking about Fluke in the highly personalized terms of the Left. The issue never was, or never should have been, her sex life (or even the largely neglected side issue that some women need birth-control medications for health reasons). The issue was government power.

And there he is subtly, but damnably, WRONG. In a Chestertonian sense, he has a perfect circle, but his circle is not large enough.

Under our system, power comes from the consent of the governed. And if someone convinces the governed that what they want is other people's money (largesse), then those people will cede power to the government in exchange for the other people's money (and partly as a balm for a rejected conscience, and to escape temporal effects of their dysfunction which might force them to pay heed to their conscience).

So Rush *WAS* right: we need to re-instill shame in order that the lust and greed of the masses does not trade away our freedom for their desires.

Cheers!

At the core of the misguided articles by people like Geraghty (whose columns I usually like) is the assumption that if the GOP just plays nice with people who won’t vote them no matter how nice the Pubbies are, they’ll start voting for the GOP in record numbers. What does Geraghty want...the GOP to turn into Dem lite? We’ll never beat the Dems in pandering. The parasites (oh my, isn’t that a nasty, divisive statement) will always go for the genuine champions of pandering, the Dem Party. Might as well speak the truth to the parasites and retain a little honor.

[linn37]

Jim what are teabagger, repukes, and Faux News? There are more terms liberals use but not suitable for this message board. Hows that for ‘mean’?

[skeeter]

Conversely, the democrats win by being friendly to and complimentary about their opponents.

American conservatives -

Godless elites, no matter how conservative they claim to be, will not, and can not, stand up for your interests.

They will compromise with evil, and there is clear evidence of this right before our eyes of this, and Scripture tells us what the reward is for this. Though this passage was spoken by the prophet Isaiah to ancient Israel, of course Scripture speaks to us as well today in ageless truth. In the following passage I have added emphasis on a few verses. Clearly, the American civil government purports to be "caring" for children by extending charity to the poor, but this is a lying and deceitful action, not of God, so it is sin. This is because on the other hand, the government doles out for the poor only in search of their votes, so robbers and thieves of the public treasury can remain in power. And as well, the people of the nation stand, raising our hands up and praying, while our government has sanctioned the murder of tens of millions of defenseless children in the womb - we reach up to God with bloody hands. We have the audacity to make our own "appointed feasts", that is, making our own holidays and proclaiming them to be worshipful of the Lord God Almighty; holidays that are not commanded by God in his Law Word. Here Scripture tells us that God's "south hateth" such appointed feasts. This is quite appropriate today, because Thanksgiving is one holiday that is Scriptural - because it is not declared to be any Holy Day, but simply a day of Thanksgiving to God. Since we do not claim that our Thanksgiving holiday is Scriptural, it is not a sinful innovation, but simply a day of giving thanks to God. Scripture tells us that God "will not hear" the prayers of a sinful people with bloody hands until they repent and turn to God.

Isaiah 1:

"1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

9 Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?

13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

24 Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:

25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:

26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed.

29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

31 And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them."
