Good going Andrew, you know you're ahead of the pack when they spend all their time trying to stab you in the back.
As to the comment about FreeRepublic, Andrew Sullivan knows he has a lot of friends here.
He is unrivalled in his ability to attack the coastal elites on their own home turf. Imagine: a gay man with the audacity to display patriotism, admiration for religion, and plain common sense! He understandably horrifies the likes of David "Free Love" Talbot.
Andrew is a true conservative and a Patriot.
