Larry Rasczak, AMEN.
Pierre, just because you disagree with him, it doesn’t mean he’s a troll. Maybe you’re projecting just a bit.
Also, Anchoress? THANK YOU.
Anyone who thinks Oliver North and Cal Thomas (Cal Thomas!) are “RINOs” is just flat-out stupid. I mean, REALLY stupid.
Personally, I don’t give a rat’s behind how the True Conservatives™ want to characterize me or any other principled conservative. Ever notice how it’s always the unhinged (and wildly uninformed*) conservatives who call themselves “true conservatives?” (See also: Ron Paul fanatics.) It’s like they’re not quite sure of themselves, so they have to scream the loudest. Methinks they protest too much.
* Yes, I did mean that, and yes, you True Conservatives™ have pretty much convinced me for good how ignorant you are.
I’m a lifelong conservative, but you are not my kind. I am bitterly resentful and angry about how you True Conservatives™ have shat all over the name of conservatism, making the entire right look like a bunch of angry, hateful, clannish, paranoid idiots. You’re afraid of “RINOs” killing conservatism? HA! You’re doing it all by yourselves! If you had any brains, you’d be kissing McCain’s butt right now because ONLY he can grow the right and make conservatism appealing to undecideds at this point in time. The likes of Ann Coulter sure aren’t doing it.
Go ahead, stay home. You’ll be able to BOAST about your ideological purity! Nevermind the five years in Iraq or almost seven in Afghanistan; those people don’t deserve to have the best Commander in Chief or be given top-notch leadership. Screw ‘em, they’re probably not True Conservatives™, after all. Right? But YOU, you can be ideologically pure! Yay for you! And the RINOs will learn a lesson! And we can all hope (in vain) that The Perfect Conservative™ will descend from the heavens in four years and sweep the next election, too! That’ll DEFINITELY happen, won’t it?
Oh wait, I forgot…True Conservatives™ don’t want to hear about Iraq because it’s not important. I forgot how many times I’ve been told NOT to use that argument. Oops!
(Truth hurts, doesn’t it?)
