Forgot to tell you, AJ, but I am a Denver Bronco football fan….
So, as they are not doing so well in the playoffs the last few years, shall I boycott the rest of the playoffs? Being a purist has its disadvantages… BUT I am warming up to Tony Romo so there is hope for me.

I am with you on this one AJ. I think that McCain is somewhat a thorn in the side of conservatives in general, but he is champion of many conservtive thoughts and policies. I would have wished we had a different candidate, I was a Fred Head. But after the primaries, it is time to join together and further the conservative cause. And even if I do not like McCain that much, he is a lot better than anything the Socialists that took over the Demcrat Party can put out there.

I looked up some of Steven Greenhut’s columns, just to see what kind of “conservative” he is. Now I don’t necessarily look down on libertarians; I share a lot of ideas with people who choose that label. However, there’s also the kind like Stan Jones, who turned himself blue out of fear of Y2K. (fascinating and incredibly weird story about an incredibly weird man)

Stan Jones found just enough fellow nutcases in Montana to end Conrad Burns Senate tenure and give the Montana race to the dems in 2006. And of course there’s the Paulbots who actually hate most conservative values while pretending to be conservative. (Bob Barr is similar, but he’s too personally ambitious to be a Paulbot, an odd character trait for someone as inept as Barr.) Greenhut, among other things, is a dedicated Paulbot who wants the country to suffer for not seeing the Wisdom of a Ron Paul presidency. He regularly posts articles over at LewRockwell.com.

Here’s a column from a few months back where Greenhut called McCain a “straigh talking warmonger”. Nice.

Greenhut favors instant surrender, everywhere. Here’s an article where Greenhut accuses American troops of routinely committing War Crimes.

Some conservative, huh?

Greenhut hates everyone, and in truth he hates this country just as much as Osama bin Laden does. He has this warped fantasy idea of what he and he alone thinks this country should be, and if we can’t live up to HIS ideals he want’s to see this country destroyed.

In other words, a complete moron who should be deliberately ignored.

So Obama will appoint all conservative judges
and
after 4 years, he will not be re-elected
and
will not run away in Iraq
and
with huge Dem majorities in Congress is likely to pass irreversible societal laws….etc

Or did I miss that part of the argument for making a stand for Republican purity?
