I asked you earlier (directly, by way of Twitter) if the GOP would be willing to issue a rejoinder to Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, who claims Republicans are waging a War Against Women. I suggested the response be a call to Democrats to cease waging a War Against the Constitution and the Individual — specifically with respect to the First Amendment. I’ve heard nothing in response. So let me ask again. Because

Breitbart lives. But does capitalism? A war is coming. And we haven’t a chance of winning it if we’re busy apologizing for our “war on women” or our “war on immigrants” or our “war on homosexuals” or our “war on the poor.” But you establishment fetishists do it your way. You’ve got the Left right where you want them!

“This total war, in which no one is allowed to be non-political and neighbors and clients become mere pressure points, is a dangerous development.” When the personal becomes the political, by default the political is the dominant frame. At which point, you are playing completely in the Left’s sandbox. So. Did Limbaugh’s apology change anything? Or has it merely emboldened those who will use any tools to silence us to

The Fix, WaPo — which in this instance reads almost like a GOP establishment press release / warning to conservatives that’s been strategically leaked: “I’d personally enjoy all the ‘we can’t nominate another Republican In Name Only’ crowd getting a stomping by an incumbent with an 8.5 unemployment rate,” said one senior party strategist, granted anonymity to speak candidly, warning of nominating a strictly conservative candidate like former Pennsylvania senator

Here’s the proper — and really only — response to such cynical and divisive rhetoric, and it should come as an official release from Reince Priebus, RNC Chair: “The DNC Chairwoman has called on Republicans to ‘End the War on Women.’ And yet it is Republicans who, far from being ‘at war with women’, recognize that the women are more than just a singular homogeneous voting bloc whose interests are

Almost as surprising as “libertarian” Ron Paul going on TV to express his distaste with Rush Limbaugh’s language, then declare his apology disingenuous (note how, even after the apology they demanded, the left is cheering Limbaugh’s additional loss of sponsors. Because they don’t want him sorry, they want him destroyed and shunned.) At any rate, I expect Mr Paul’s newsletters are about to get a more public airing. You listening,

There. I believe that just about covers it.

From Mickey Kaus at the Daily Beast: “It’s not because Breitbart was combative.” Of course it isn’t. It’s because he was a conservative, and an unapologetic one. Somewhere in my archives, which I’m still having trouble accessing, is a collection of “liberal” commentary on Tony Snow’s death that I caught as word came in that he’d succumbed to his cancer [update: found here.
