You bemoan that "examination of ideas is gone from FR", and in the very next breath, you hurl an ad hominem at the most popular, most effective conservative fighter of our time.
You're a hypocrite, you know that? No wonder you're whining about this site.
See there you are with the whining accusation. I am just not into worship of politicos no matter what they do. They will always disappoint. The worship of Palin around FR has reached idolatry for some who also claim to be God fearing people.
