I finished Megan Basham's "Shepherds for Sale" over the weekend. Paula is working on getting her for an interview for the podcast, and if that happens, it should be an eye-opening discussion.
Basham's book outlines how progressive forces have infiltrated the Evangelical churches of America to undermine the conservative presence in those churches and flip them blue. Basham asserts that this effort is well-funded and occurs across multiple fronts, often aided and abetted by Christian and conservative thought leaders. One of those leaders, according to Basham, is David French. French was once a columnist for National Review before jumping ship for the Left. He now writes for the New York Times.
French also makes multiple appearances in the documentary "God & Country," speaking in between jump-scare cuts of January 6 and conservative speakers who plan to turn America into a fascist theocracy. There is even a brief shot of Allie Beth Stuckey doing her podcast. Stuckey is a staunch conservative but is about as dangerous as your grandmother's geraniums.
French is one of the "conservative" commentators who speak in hushed, sorrowful tones over somber music, warning us that Trump and his supporters represent a clear and present danger to "democracy." Nothing we haven't heard before.
To no one's surprise, French penned a Sunday op-ed for The New York Times titled, “To Save Conservatism From Itself, I Am Voting for Harris.”
In it, French laments the transformation of the Republican Party under MAGA, stating, "At each step, it has pushed Republicans further and further away from Reaganite conservatism. It has divorced Republican voters from any major consideration of character in leadership, and all the while; it has labeled people who resisted the change as ‘traitors.’”

Never heard of Basham. Can’t think of a single column she wrote. Must not have been all that memorable.
Oh jeez this guy again.
Conservative? LMAO
Fake “conservative”
And this surprises absolutely no one. The bigger question is why a “conservative” publication like National Review keeps churning out these types of “conservatives” who end up making the “conservative case” for voting for Communists and totalitarians. French, Goldberg, Williamson. The list goes on and on.
French was Ridin with Biden....

The guy could not even figure out that Biden was senile.
He is just rock stupid.
Writer John Zmirak long ago came up with the perfect nickname for David French... “Vichy French.”
No wonder why I let my subscription expire years ago.
No true conservative or republican would eve endorse a communist. In fact, not even a democrat who loves his/her and has a brain, would ever endorse Kamala.
At each step, it has pushed Republicans further and further away from Reaganite conservatism.
______________________________________________________
Questions that must be confronted by any serious conservative right now are thus: Was Ronald Reagan a globalist and corporatist at heart? Was he open borders at heart? Was he someone who would surrender US culture to Wokism? Only someone who can answer “yes” to all these would feel comfortable in classifying Reagan as being in league with the Establishment GOP like French. Otherwise, French is either a moron or a liar (or both).
Oh, and guy's a fag.
That’s correct.
Idiot
French is not now and never has been a conservative.
Never heard of Basham. Can’t think of a single column she wrote. Must not have been all that memorable.
++++++++
She didn’t write the column, she wrote the book - “Shepherds for sale”. I never heard of her either. Saw her interviewed by Jesse Kelly. She seems to be telling the truth about the state of the church, not only in the USA but worldwide. She seems legit.
David French on the other hand is worth two flushes - just to be sure.
No conservative could support what Harris believes and would do.
Who?
My husband read something earlier today that said Simone Biles donated $4 mill to Heels Up.
