It's my belief that this is an inherent problem within the Conservative movement. Author writes common sense book or column or both. Achieves success and sells more books. Get's invited on Network shows, achieves pundit status. Association with Grassroots people like the majority of Freepers wanes and suddenly the author's associations are a more filtered group.

That filtered group has an orthodoxy of opinion and the Grassroots - who couldn't agree on whether the sky is blue by the way - suddenly don't seem so solid and common sense as they once did. Instead, they look kinda ordinary. Pundit loses track of their beginings and now is just one of many elites competing for the elite view of the Grassroots.

I think Ann's resisted this trend pretty well. I watched her at CPAC sign books for over two hours when she was scheduled for one. She was gracious and interested and cordial to every single person in that line. When Laura Ingraham came to the Freeper function in Las Vegas she couldn't have been more gracious. She was so down home you would have thought she was your daughter come home from college.

I think time and success have worn them down. The result is not pretty. I don't know anyone who has handled it better except for maybe Rush. But, there are plenty who hate him too.

Regards,

I agee with you. They are out in front kicking against the pricks against all the elitists and get worn down. They make friends with them and have a hard time buzz sawing their social ideology after then become friends.

Like Ann expressing anger at Newt for picking on a “great” liberal media personality at the debate, she has softened up to the liberals she hangs out with. If she does not get on their programs, she does not sell books. Bill O’Really(stupid) demands she be moderate to be on his program. There for a while she was tearing off her microphone and storming off the stage when liberal media personalities stacked the odds against her on panels and did not permit her to speak. The fallout may have been a boycott of her by the media and she has had to court them rather than verbally bomb them, to prove she’s not an unstable guest.

She is for gay special rights and for social engineering society (marriage and family) around gay sexuality if she’s hanging out with the Loggers. She has to know gays are homosexually grooming boys and girls in the schools and before that would have upset her but now she says nothing. She has to have a lot of gay pals (homosexual men; not lesbians as lesbos hate normal women who are not easily badgered) given she hangs out in the media/entertainment circle and is single.

Mittens is pro social engineering (wrecking) marriage and family. It opens the door to the polygamy lifestyle. Mormonism’s polygamy is why he was born in Mexico rather than the US.

But Ann’s nuts if she thinks she has carried conservatives with her into her new mentality and attacking conservatives as a mob is funny given we cheered her on for years (made her rich) like we cheer for Newt.
