But before the party of the Great Emancipator can rise again, Republicans will have to face their inner Voinovich and drive a stake through the heart of old Dixie.

Someone needs to figuratively drive a stake through the heart of old Kathleen.

KP & Peggy Noonan are has beens.

Nor does the GOP have a monopoly on ignorance or racism.

No, Kathleen...it doesn't.

But, perhaps, you do. When it comes to Southerners, Christians and conservatives.

This lady may be a Republican...but she is not a conservative. She is an elitist Eastern twit.

Personally, I don't give a damn what the Washington Post, Senator George Voinovich and columnist Kathleen Parker might think. About anything...

You don't have to "shuttup", Kathleen, but it doesn't mean I have to read (or care) what you write.

Yes, DeMint does appear to be the true conservative in the party today. What’s his conservative rating?

As examples, Alabama’s Sessions is what’s right and IN’s Lugar is what is dead-wrong.
I’d vote for Bayh before I’d vote again for the turncoat Lugar. And K. Parker is a joke.

Exactly why is Kathleen Parker considered a conservative? In the last two years she’s done nothing but write nasty articles excoriating those awful conservative Republicans because they don’t want to get with the liberal/moderate Republican program. Has she written any articles where she’s heavily criticized Dems and libs for destroying the country? It’s been non-stop Palin/conservative Republican bashing for a long time. And she explicitly calls southern Republicans racists because they embrace conservative values. I’m beginning to think she’s some kind of liberal Manchurian candidate who came on as a conservative but is rapidly turning into a typical lib scribbler.

re: I wouldn’t give her the hits.)))

My issue exactly. And this is the second posting of this article! I wonder if she has people post her stuff on FR to try to get readership?

Voinovich is a first rate RINO and a spineless sell-out.

Yeah, if Sarah Palin was a southerner they’d probably be questioning her intelligence, making obscene jokes about her minor daughter and starting false rumors about the condition of her marriage. Glad she’s not from the south.

I used to enjoy Parker’s articles. No more. I put her in the same elitist class as Peggy Noonan and Maureen Dowd. Birds of a feather and not worth the time it takes to read their garbage.

This article was written with the intent to mock conservatives. Might I add, from a purely political point of view, the left and our dearly beloved leader (sarc) do not need one single republican to go along with their plan.

The last thing conservatives need to do is heed the advice of George Voinovich.

So, why do we allow Kathleen Parker to be portrayed as a conservative? She pens in this article that the last decades have been very dark for the GOP and she means our core beliefs. Has she ever added quality to the conversation or just abundance in mocking tone?

Was Reagan elected because of the fear and loathing of the Republican party festering over this great land? Does Kathleen Parker think this is a great land?

I’m going to ignore, for now, her dismissing of the so called “birthers” because what else would you expect from Ms. Parker.

Typical liberal M.O.: Hire a liberal, call her a conservative, and then have her write drivel for you.

Sounds like liberal talking points. It's true that there are people in Los Angeles, Manhattan, and Cambridge, Massachusetts, who can't sleep at night worrying that people reading the Bible in the backwoods of West Virginia and Alabama will prevent them from having sex lives, for some strange reason. And part of the reason they disliked Bush so much had to do with his Texas accent.

However, this has not prevented liberals from carrying on their own love affairs with southerners and hillbillies on occasion.

All questions about the realignment of Dixiecrats, Jacksonians, and George Wallace voters aside, it may be more revealing about the attitudes of liberals.

A special gift is in the mail to him...

Okay. If the GOP thinks it can get along without our votes, let them try. I can think of something better to do than to get up early to make it to the polls when they open, or to rush home late in the evening to get there before they close.

I’m SURE they will be able win HORDES of “moderate” votes from the Democrats by dumping us. I bet they can win enough to be the singular political power in the US for decades, even. Go for it!

Not.

What a twit. Unfortunately, she probably reflects the viewpoints of the majority of the GOP’s leadership.

Gee, I wonder if it’s because the 11 most religious states in America are located in the South. (Kentucky, we love you)
