It wasn’t holier than thou.
What I’m saying is that Kristol actually is conservative in a lot of ways, and we have to accept people when they are right and in the areas in which they are right, and encourage them in it. If he has come to the realization that Romney is not “it,” then this is a good thing and should be commended.
Many self-proclaimed conservatives believe in obliterating people who do not agree with them on every single point. What you have to do is work towards agreement, argue your points rationally, and convince people. There’s a lot more insulting and raving going on here than rational argument and attempts to convince people, and this is seriously counterproductive.
Kristol is not perfect and few of us are. But if only the perfect vote, we’re surely going to lose this election. And then things are going to be very, very bad for all of us.
That’s all you had to say. Shoving your bible into the face of someone else is a good way to get a nasty response (at a bare bones minimum).
Back off.
