The two things are disconnected. We are supposed to operate at a higher standard than the liberals - that's one of the reasons why I signed up for conservatism - partially because they are base, venal and disgusting.

I am sick and tired of the asymmetric warfare both military and political. You can't allow your enemy to fight by his rules while you fight with mittens on and expect to win. All that does is embolden you enemies and guarantee a future defeat. We need people who will fight and rewrite the rules. It's time for reciprocity!

You're obviously angry. Sinking into the mud is not going to help anything - number one, because the Democrats are used to living there. Secondly, they have the media. I suggest we focus on how our ideas are better than theirs.

What a Grade A load of crap.

You're telling me Ronald Reagan won elections and implemented all those policy positions by calling people names? Do you think he was so classy because the Dems never insulted him?

Standing for something (which Coulter does) is not the same as acting like a leftist idiot (which Coulter did at the time we're discussing) and if one does the latter, nobody hears the former. People who make themselves look like idiots look like idiots, not socialist idiots, pro-gay idiots, pro-family idiots, free market idiots--just idiots. I'm no fan of Medved's humongous tent approach, but the idea that we're going to advance conservatism by calling someone a faggot is ludicrous.
