It’s time we start shunning these people. They don’t exist. Noonan, Parker, Krauthammer—to heck with the lot of them.
As for Parker and Buckley, one of the main reasons they have for jumping ship is the fact that they've gotten some nasty emails. Spare me. Every columnist gets nasty emails. That is an excuse. If they are really such weak sisters, they need to retire—which is what they have effectively done. They'll get trotted out by the Left every once in a while as part of the ex-Conservative freak show (like David Brock—remember him?). Buckley, especially, will probably get some mileage out of whoring himself out to the MSM to comment on how nasty and nutty Conservatives have become.
Here’s my letter to “the dishy Kathleen Parker.”
Dear Ms. Parker,
When you mention that Republicans are not deserving of winning this time, a lot of us happen to disagree. That’s what is at stake here. If you go out on a limb, you shouldn’t be shocked when it gets sawed off. The bulk of Republicans want to win. You may be a purist all you want. I - and many others - happen to think too much is riding on this election to entrust the country to the hands of a Marxist (as opposed to less than perfect Republicans), so don’t mind me if I think you’re both idiots, all your wonderful columns beforehand notwithstanding.
Very Sincerely,
...
What the hell. They’re accusing us of some nonexistent jihad. Why don’t we give them one? Why do you think the libs are as successful as they are? They work in lockstep and purge the ones who stray too far to the outside. Organizing conservatives is like herding cats. Maybe we should give them the evil fatwa they claim to be under.
