How kind of NR to allow Mr. Benton to deny the obvious truth that paleoPaulie, his employer, is a kook and the looniest tune to run for POTUS in any of our lifetimes. BTW, that would be the same Barry Goldwater who took his daughter to the abortion mill personally....

Still ranting off the top of your head I see....you may want to look at this latest from Jonah Goldberg. You do remember who Jonah Goldberg is don't you? While not an endorsement of Dr. Paul, even Jonah refutes Ms. Charen's hit piece. Let's get a quote from Jonah shall we?

For the most part, these allegations strike me as overblown and unfair. But, for argument's sake, let's say they're not. Let's even say that Paul has the passionate support of the Legion of Doom, that his campaign lunchroom looks like the "Star Wars" cantina, and that many of his top advisors actually have hooves. Well, I would still find him less scary than Mike Huckabee.

Did you get that? Even if the rantings of Ms. Charon were true (which they're not), Goldberg would see Dr. Paul as a better person than Huckabee. That's just sad. Perhaps even the faux conservatives at National Review are seeing the light....

That will have to be Jonah Goldberg's problem. He has his moments but not as an intellectual leader of conservatism. He is right that in accepting that paleoPaulie's political love slaves resemble the bar scene in Star Wars (whoops! paleoPaulie love slaves should pardon the use of the four letter w word) but he forgot that the interior of the paleomushball's "mind" most resembles the quiet orderliness of the "minds" of a Charles Manson, a Jeffrey Dahlmer, or a twisted version of Ted Bundy or the Unibomber, not necessarily their results although Paulistinian peacecreepology and general lunacy, if policy, would bring about the death by Jihad of many more defenseless Americans and Israelis than those four could kill.

Is there some toxin like libertoonian juice in the water system of your part of North Carolina? Thank God you do not typify North Carolina voters. Do you applaud Goldwater as a former Senatorial one-man cheering section for abortion, including the abortion of his own innocent grandchild in which he was morally complicit?

NR has reaffirmed its support for the war and libertoonianism is STILL not and NEVER will be conservatism. When you say "faux conservative" you mean that they reject the cowardly ways of paleos and of the late and unlamented Neville Chamberlain. Your Dr. Demento is no conservative and never will be. Nor will he ever be nominated for POTUS by the GOP. He should run third party, be insanely (what else?) aggressive in his denunciation of the war and split the leftist vote because, by comparison, the Hildebeast, B. Hussein Obama and Edwards are downright patriotic and even warmongers.

Huckabee, unlike the paleosurrenderman and Al Qaeda mouthpiece paleoPaulie, is a patriot and a conservative, not perfect but near infinitely better than the paleopipsqueak as are McCain, Romney, Thompson, and several other actually Republican and other actually conservative GOP candidates. Only paleoPaulie thinks that craven treason is practical politics or even principle.

Mona Charen is a lot better than Jonah Goldberg generally. Just about anyone is better than the paleopipsquek. 44 days to the ciderpress that will eliminate paleoPaulie from American politics. Tick, tick, tick.....

Here's all you need to know about Charen:

That's quite wrong. Social conservatives have trouble with Giuliani, but by no stretch of the imagination is he a Rockefeller (i.e. liberal) Republican. In fact, in many ways Giuliani is the most conservative of the top three candidates for the Republican nomination. He came by that conservatism in the toughest crucible.

Is Giuliani a Conservative?

Charen will ridicule someone like Paul, but she's defends POS liberal Rudy. She's your typical MSM token conservative, someone who provides "balance" on a newsrag to counteract the left-wing bias.
