Because of this, I went over and parted ways with LGF last night.

The idiot who runs Little Green Footballs has done me a real favor in compiling his list of “haters” and “hate sites”. Now I have a few sources to check out that I wasn’t aware of before, who will shed the light of truth on people trying to destroy our society—people like the idiot who runs LGF.

The list could have been whittled down to just one.

As in Number 1: I was a left wing ahole in conservative clothing and now I have shed the clothes.

If you think Lew Rockwell is a Conservative then you might be a leftist.

Dobson supports “homophobic bigotry”?

If you have even one piece of evidence for that, I’ll acknowledge your point. But I’ve never heard him say anything remotely bigoted about those who experience or act on their same-sex attraction.

Notice that Johnson said that he had planned the break for over a year. So the guy was never really a conservative to begin with. I say good riddance to another RHINO.

Charles Johnson NEVER WAS on the Right. In an interview, Johnson says:

Were you the lefty type one associates with long haired guitar players?

I was pretty much center-left before 9/11. Never an America-hating loon, though. I've been a history buff most of my life, and on 9/11 I knew instantly who and what was responsible; I was aware of Bin Laden's declaration of war on the US and as soon as I turned on the television that morning and saw the World Trade Center collapse, I knew it was Bin Laden and Al Qaeda.

But that day was a real mind-blower, for many people, myself included. At first, my center-liberal leanings caused me to ask, "Why do they hate us?" and similar questions; that questioning led me to begin serious investigation of the Islamic fanaticism that was growing unchecked in the Middle East.

Now I think the question is a pointless one, not because we shouldn't self-examine, but because the answer lies within the Islamists, not within us -- and understanding them will not achieve anything, except to the extent it allows us to defeat them.

Johnson was ALWAYS a Lefty. 9/11 frightened him enough to make him a neocon for a while, and he liked the increased readership that this brought, but now he's back to being a full Lefty.

LGF has been on a ratings down-trend for a while. In Oct, he got under 66K unique visitors. I suspect this manifesto was a ploy to get people visiting his site to see what the fuss was about just before the November period ended.

LOL at that list. The author is not a conservative...sounds more like Rosie O’Donald cloned. What a pure narrow minded, laughable pack of distortions and lies.
