You liberals always put being "intellectual" at the top of your list of virtues,

I'm not a liberal, thank you very much, and there was a time when conservatives also valued intellectuals like Art Laffer, Bull Buckley, Milton Friedman, and most of the U of Chicago econ department.

I fear that the conservative movement is degenerating into a rabble of luddites. Coulter's cult following is but one example.

Perhaps you mean the William Buckley Jr. who said:“I would like to electrocute everyone who uses the word “fair” in connection with income tax policies.”

And: “Relate it to what should happen; fuse it into the long morality play that began, really, in the Garden of Eden.”

And:“Conservatives should be adamant about the need for the reappearance of Judeo-Christianity in the public square.”

To you, perhaps creation is slander. And a sharp tongue anti-intellectual. Either way, you have placed your incredibly broad foot into your tiny, puckered mouth. You have no more GOT Ann than you have GOT Buckley.

Last I looked, most of us drive horseless carriages and use computers.

Coulter's cult following is but one example.

What is it with you people and the "cult" crap?

You seem to think that we crave approval from people like you.

If you are such an intellectual conservative, what took you so long to join FR? Did you not hear about the two battles called elections in 2000 and 2004? You are so intellectual and so sophisticated that you decided to get involved at the end of the war. Nice one smarty pants.
