=== --I found "Treason" a remarkable and beautifully documented, compelling retelling of the Whitaker Chambers saga. Around here, I don't think that's appreciated as much as her Eternal Legs.
Unfortunately, her legs are as ephemeral as the "values" of the "conservative" justices appointed by our alledgedly "pro-life" politicians.
I used to be a Coulter fan before she sold out. As it is, I'll stick with bona fide brainiacs like Schlafley instead.
It's funny you bring up Chambers. I've been a fan of his since first I read Witness in high school. Wasn't until years later when I picked up a copy of the complete exhibits of the ACLU's appeal on behalf of Hiss that certain unsettling truths came to light.
Mostly courtesy of Nixon's pressing Chambers to reveal the homosexual relationship between him and Hiss.
The GOP may have a long history of attracting genuine converts from the left (as opposed to the likes of Whoreowitz, for example), but just as lengthy is its history of prying into personal lives for the applying of pressure or control.
Sad but true.
As a resident of the French Quarter for over 15 years, I can vouch for the fact that plenty of homosexuals are just as put off as I or anyone else by the "Gay Pride" or "Gay as Victim" schtick. They see it for what it is.
And I too believe homosexuality is an aberrant affliction. I'd like to believe that most of my gay friends were "born that way" but the fact of the matter is that most were raped or seduced into the lifestyle and can't figure out how to get back across the Rubicon.
I figure that's what accounts for the particularly shrill and bitter screeching sound of the Gay Pride contingent.
You hate David Horowitz, too?
Maybe we could spend a long time being shocked, really shocked, that some Republicans aren't Jesus, but I think I'd rather look at what we could do right now. Liberals are shrieking at Gannon like the high school girls hurling tampons in the locker room in Carrie...it's just so out of proportion. I think it's an opportunity.
