No… Nooo… Your are right. More people recognized the evil in the case of Nifong.

[Technically you are right, but “Nifonged” sounds good (knife connotation) too, and, as you say, Nifong’s notorious.]

Concha-
The Soup Plantation is a tranny hangout? Who knew? Here in AZ it’s sister restaurant (Sweet Tomatoes) more resembles heaven’s waiting room. Some of the grannys may be trannys, I’ll have to look more closely next time.

Many years ago, Albert Jay Nock observed that political structures always evolve to practically guarantee that no man of principle will make it into the ranks of the machine. The modus operandi of the machine is disgusting enough to repel any honest person, and the machine will use any treachery at its disposal to discredit such a person if they consider the attempt. I wonder how Ron Paul slipped through the cracks? He must have a superhuman capacity for tolerating nausea and loneliness.

Ann Coulter can call somebody a faggot, and the world gasps in indignation. But George Will can defecate on our founding principles in a blatant attempt to destroy a man of integrity, and carry it off as some kind of enlightened commentary? Now that’s an insult!

[Thanks for steering the discussion back to intelligent lines. Leonard ignored the imperative to mention, even in passing, Rudy’s assaults on the real Atlases of the world.]

I wouldn’t call someone a name like “faggot” in public, but I am sick and tired of seeing condemnations of “homophobic” thrown around by conservatives of all people. In my opinion, that behavior is wrong and immoral, and I should be able to say that. So should Ann, though I didn’t like the way she threw the insult at Edwards.I wouldn’t call someone a name like “faggot” in public, but I am sick and tired of seeing condemnations of “homophobic” thrown around by conservatives of all people.

I don’t even know what that means anymore.I’m supporting Ron Paul [who was absent from the swamp of CPAC].

I might point out that anyone can get a link from BAB just by posting a comment here. Insofar as you do edit comments, and of course control the comment software, presumably you could disallow commenters from linking content which you disagree with.
[The prevalence of dreck everywhere and the vigorous defense it gets is becoming part of American intellectual life—monopolized as it is by the mindless. And now you demand I do the same!]
