( 1 ) I cannot understand how some shmoozer with a telepromter yabbering about "change and hope" is per se "more intelligent" than Cheerleader Palin. Frum, Brooks, Parker, and the other "intellectual snobs" on the right fall for style over substance. // ( 2 ) If Limbaugh's obesity makes him stupid, does Ann Coulter's anorexia make her wise beyond belief? // ( 3 ) A radio bloviator such as Limbaugh owes it to his sponsors to be entertaining and provocative - not to be "nuanced" and sound like a sonorous professor at a professional society. I fail to see why one should either damn him nor praise him on account of the nature of talk radio. If Limbaugh's own rants (such as apologizing for Bush statism while condemning Obama statism) are philosophically inconsistent, that is fair game. His STYLE (as Ilana points out) is dictated by the inherent nature of talk radio and the need to keep the dittoheads entertained.

We need to send the neocons back to the Democratic Party from whence they came, find a true conservative to unite behind, and raise some serious hell. Oh, and they can take Jamie Kirchick and the parlor libertarians with them. I much prefer Paul, but Palin will do. David Frum and his ilk make my skin crawl.

Centrists are evil.

“There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil. The man who is wrong still retains some respect for truth, if only by accepting the responsibility of choice. But the man in the middle is the knave who blanks out the truth in order to pretend that no choice or values exist, who is willing to sit out the course of any battle, willing to cash in on the blood of the innocent or to crawl on his belly to the guilty, who dispenses justice by condemning both the robber and the robbed to jail, who solves conflicts by ordering the thinker and the fool to meet each other halfway. In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit” Ayn Rand

And this from Ed Anger.

“Every since their big get-together last week, everybody’s fighting about “the future of conservatives.” Namby pamby Beltway big shots tell us to dump Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber, and get more classy and “intellectual” like them!

Heck, some of these “conservatives” even voted for Teleprompter Jesus himself!

Don’t listen to these stuck up sons of Benedict Arnold. Has Ross Douthat or David Brooks ever won a chili cook-off or fired a few rounds off a .45? David Frum probably can’t even change a tire without his Filipino nanny helping out.”
