She is one of those columnists who can accurately assail the left and the GOPE week after week, and then when crunch time arrives they totally join the establishment against those who have agreed with all their previous columns.

Remember how Thomas Sowell bashed the TEA Party a few times within a week or two?

Why? What could be the reason for this?

After baring leftism for the rot it is and calling the establishment GOPE for the worthless ninnies they are for weeks and months on end and writing columns supporting the TEA Party positions they turn around and defend the establishment over those that believed their columns up to that point.

Are they bought and paid for shills for the GOPE??

Just so. Ann Coulter can bash the left brilliantly. Then she turns around and writes stuff like this.

In other words, she doesn’t do it because she’s stupid or naive, but because she’s corrupt.

Too bad. She was a good friend of FR for many years. Then she took her 30 pieces of silver. . . .

Think this has anything to do with who pays them? Like publishers, distributors, and the ... media.

It is time for Thomas Paine for this era— says and means what they say for America and Americans.

The professional commentarati are tiresome in the extreme— like reading the guest list on Hannity.

The old term “Tavern Democrat” has melded with “media personage” to blur the lines of clear distinction.

I scratched my head over Sowell for months. I didn’t get it. Is he getting lazy in his old age? He never used such generic talking points before.

Some folks have a loyalty to the GOP like loyalty to a sports team, say the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Rush Limbaugh grew up in a Republican Party home for instance, learning that the GOP team was the “Steelers” and the Democrats were the “Ravens” or some other rival....

I listen to folks like Sowell and El Rushbo, even Coulter if she’s making sense, but at the end of the day they live in the football fan illusion that their team is the one that will win, even if “their team” is helping to move the ball into their own end zone.
