Grover Norquist's Strange Alliance With Radical Islam

Other than that you hate them, what similarity does Grover Norquist have with Reese, Sobran, and Buchanan?

[veronica]

Is this a trick question?

[Pelham]

No, I'm simply asking you to explain what logic lumps together people with such opposing views. Buchanan, Reese, and Sobran have long been paleocons. Norquist is far from that. Yet you lumped them all together repeatedly. The trick seems to be with your reasoning, and I'm simply asking what it is. There is a logic to your position, isn't there?

Grover Norquist has been foolish. It won't be the first time for him. What's more to the point is that the neo-con/neo-lib axis is now going aggressively after those who don't share its zeal or commitment. The purge will turn out badly for them in the end though, since they won't know when to stop.

The vain conceit of the Republican Party ever since they lost their nerve over the budget in 1995 is that they can "target" ethnic voting blocs and bring them into the Republican rather than Democrat fold.

You sir are very astute. Great observation, hope it catches on.

Grover and the Pro-Muslim forces in this country are now
suffering an embarassment, as did the Pro-Israel lobby did in
1967. It will pass, and America will benefit enormously from the
coming, and long overdue, new balance.

In your wildest dreams!

Ping, an old thread, with much to think about, today.

Grover’s ties to jihad have been known for years.
