Mister Grover Norquist was fighting the good fight, when you blokes were just a bulge in your daddy's polyester slacks.
Benedict Arnold twice saved the American revolution. Had he died at Saratoga, he would have been one of our greatest heros. People change.
Pride, greed, and desire for social acceptance cursed Arnold.
The same may true for Norquist, the consumate Beltway conservative.

I warned members of ATR staff of the Islamist links in July 2001. I was told that the Muslim groups were no threat.
Instead of admitting a mistake Norquist rather grandstands and hide behind Political correctness, good Muslims, and the President. He despoils these.

As far as I can tell, Norquist is pretty much the same independently-minded conservative he always has been. Let me tell you what has changed.

Using the anonimity of the Internet, small-minded and jealous men, of little personal accomplishment, can throw stones at their betters. I have seen that sad and sorry personality defect on display from such as you since my first day at FR. Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, Alan Keyes, Pat Buchanan- don't try and emulate their decades of principled achievement, just sign up with a screen name, and let the slander flow. For a certain kind of personality, ripping into true heroes of conservatism somehow narrows the accomplishment gap.

Well, you're not going to get away with it unscathed, as long as I'm around.

You warned members of ATR? A lot of prominent conservative groups are concerned about this right now, but are just waiting and watching to see what comes of this situation. Honestly, the evidence seems circumstantial at best. But that doesn't necessarily mean that Norquist isn't guilty, just that we should wait and see what happens, rather than accusing him outright of being a traitor.
