I'm putting it up on my blog today with, of course, attribution.<br /><br />I DO pay attention to what Frum says. He's been the canary in the GOP mine since the crazies took over a once normal political party.<br /><br />Thanks for this.Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-44163345700478461372012-08-10T01:10:19.164-05:002012-08-10T01:10:19.164-05:00I agree with you.

The equation of this thing with the santorum thing doesn't really wash--damn, I went there--but it's an actual point.<br /><br />What is actually fascinating is how people who identify as conservative--I get this from his scorn for Frum--seem to think that being conservative is either being on some team, or a series of concrete policy goals (shifting constantly rightward) rather than a political philosophy. Burke had a lot to say of value, but this crowd would reject him out of hand for his anti-colonialism alone. I don't get it. I suppose a person doesn't have to have an intellectual framework to function.Billhttp://freeandeasywandering.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-44291696691294257792012-08-09T18:39:40.773-05:002012-08-09T18:39:40.773-05:00Good point!

Sometimes I struggle with where to draw the line.<br /><br />I did delete a couple of comments to a previous post that were made in the middle of the night last night. They were from wingers and just stupid. I thought rgh at least said something.Nancy LeTourneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12614317154146836694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-64028492224607706492012-08-09T17:48:43.419-05:002012-08-09T17:48:43.419-05:00There is a subtext in the (not only sick but genui...There is a subtext in the (not only sick but genuinely wierd) lie that the President is gay that is predicated on racist notions of feminine beauty as well as racist notions of Black manhood. It's as much a racist attack on the First Lady, that is, as it is the President.Billhttp://freeandeasywandering.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-55702468796957031312012-08-09T16:01:53.544-05:002012-08-09T16:01:53.544-05:00Frum is quite correct, that there's a lot of c...Frum is quite correct, that there's a lot of chain e-mails, and various web sites which push these memes. I've been following the birthers for a while, and much of what Frum is talking about is on blatant display on the birther web sites. That various Republicans still pander to the birthers is equally blatantly obvious.Norbrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383422747683493947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-65728096810529476232012-08-09T14:08:46.078-05:002012-08-09T14:08:46.078-05:00I very much doubt that you are representative of t...I very much doubt that you are representative of the kind of person I was trying to "impress" with this story. <br /><br />I think I'll leave it at that.Nancy LeTourneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12614317154146836694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-71418730042840055072012-08-09T12:24:51.079-05:002012-08-09T12:24:51.079-05:00Give me a break. The "Reid is a pederast"...Give me a break. The "Reid is a pederast" thing is obviously a joke aimed at Reid's invocation of anonymous (fantasy?) "sources" about Romney's taxes. And unless you were horrified by the Google "Santorum" effort (and spoke out against it) the crocodile tears can probably be dispensed with already.<br /><br />I've not heard the "Obama is gay" thing before, but then again I dont watch cable news. But when your sources is Frum, well, color me unimpressed. You also seem to believe Frum is a conservative, which is the funniest damn thing I've ever heard.rghnoreply@blogger.com
