When I wrote "here" that means here in this house, the one I live in, where I am writing from, but I see how that could be misinterpreted. And you are quite right. There are a boat load of moderates here at Free Republic. I am not one of them. If you think I have a moderate position on anything, I welcome your pointing that out to me.

If you think the conservatives haven't lost the White House and Congress, you should read up about Obama, Reid and Pelosi. They are not conservative. There are but a handful of conservatives left and they most certainly do not control much of any thing.

The battle is for the hearts and minds and the fact that conservatism has lost the PR battle is very frustrating. Conservatism is essentially the "rules" the physical world plays by. When we humans recognize those rules and live by them, we succeed and that success is sustainable until we quit being conservative. That's why republicans lost it all, they abandoned conservatism and turned into big spending liberals.

The best in any chosen field, whether in sports, music, writing, or whatever, are constantly working on their game. Ann Coulter is a good writer. She does her homework and presents her findings well. I don't think she is as good at her interview/debate skills.

For having dared to voice that criticism, I am therefore a moderate, a liberal, McCain, etc. That's fine. As you said, people are entitled to their opinions, but given the topic, the irony is humorous:

"We are just not interested in anyone so highly critical of Ann Coulter, right now," explaining that "it's such a downer. It's just not the time, and it's not what our audience wants, either."

My point wasn't that hard to understand.

The conservatives didn't "lose" the white house, the republicans did

The democrats won, the republicans lost.

Read my post a little slower so you understand and don't feel compelled to explain obvious facts to me.

So your lecture was unnecessary unless you needed to see it written down.

No, the conservatives don't control any branches of government, but they weren't involved in the contest for President so didn't "lose" it.

Your quote at the bottom of your post, I have no idea where that is from. Certainly not me.

You either are what your posts reveal and project, or you are not. Doesn't matter to me.

How you describe your self (if you felt so inclined) and how your words describe you may be different.

Being critical doesn't bother me, but your criticism are overly harsh and some quite irrelevant and speak of deeper issues regarding Coulter and her effectiveness or even the necessity of her being on the media curve.

And some are just plain attacks on character.

She can't be marginalized, it's too late for that.

You imply she is detrimental to conservatism.

Name me some conservatives you respect and believe are competent enough to be a spokesman for conservatism.

And have an established platform .
