but we’re afraid Rush Limbaugh might cut our cojones off and swing them around his head like a bola if we tried.
Boo hoo.
Dicentra, in comments: “Please. They’re not afraid of what Rush says. They’re afraid of criticism from NYT, NPR, NBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, and the letter Y.”
Yolanda!
Don’t you just love how the “we need to be more like Democrats” bunch claims to be the reformers?
The GOP’s leaders desperately need some space in which to experiment a little, on policy and otherwise, and they don’t seem to have it at the moment.
FAIL. Please explain to me how GOP leaders, during the last 8 years, were too afraid of Rush. Yea, they followed his advice to a “T.”
The Atlantic is a very important publication, I think, McGehee. Why, the only true conservative in the world writes there.
I also liked the RUSH STARTED IT line.
Aside from declaring — long after the fact — that Dan Quayle was indeed right in his “Murphy Brown” comments, what have they gotten right lately?
My favorite part is “the perils of blogging.” Such bravery.
I would cancel mu subscription, but I could not live without the true conservative musing of Excitable Andy. And, I do not actually have a subscription. And I vowed to quit clicking on their links.
Please. They’re not afraid of what Rush says. They’re afraid of criticism from NYT, NPR, NBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, and the letter Y.
Exactly, dicentra.
That does not sound very Outlawy to me. That sounds kinda Patterinicky.
Nice blog.
Where’s the comments?
there are no comments. Now stfd and stfu so your betters like David brooks can compare you to Neanderthals and in doing so get invited to more cocktail parties.
The conservative reformers aren’t afraid of Rush, they’re afraid of the millions of people who agree with Rush. He’s like the NRA that way…he only has power to the extent that others agree with him. What frosts guys like Frum, Brooks and Douthat is that, absent Rush, they’d be able to convince those millions that they are a tiny minority whose only possible hope of having a voice is through them and their statist worldview.
No thanks, Ross. I’m not interested in America getting to the same destination a few years more slowly than we would with the Democrats.
Nice to know what we’ve been fighting for all these years.
Outlaw, hell. MUTINY!
CHAVEZ CALLS ON OBAMA TO FOLLOW PATH OF SOCIALISM Fri Mar 06 2009 17:13:48 ET
Yay! We can nationalize some Venezuelan firms and fix the price of rice for the peasants!
Like tellin’ a bear to shit in the woods, router.
Can we take up a collection and have a neck installed on that beaner?
You know that socialism has never been given a fair shake. We should give it a go with the right people at the helm.
Like me.
Douthat: We’d Experiment with Policy
And as a bonus, Moynihan tells us which notable Freeman defender used to be the Middle East editor of Lyndon LaRouche’s Executive Intelligence Review.
Good things from Instapundit!
Judith Miller is on the “All-Star” Panel!?
judy went to jail for her beliefs
?
I don’t really want to go to a Tax Day Tea Party what doesn’t involve breaking shit. No for real I think the focus on spendyness is lame and having it on Tax Day confuses the issue. I’m not gonna be all oh please don’t spend so much money, dirty socialists. That but also card check is even more horrifying, and cap-n-trade is more horrifyinger still, and our piece of shit president’s feigned obliviousness to the necessity of Social Security and Medicare reform is flat out fucking unbelievably scary. The message we need isn’t oh please don’t spend so much money it’s get your pitiful George Soros bought-and-paid-for Chicago street trash ass out of our little country’s White House. Please.
Experiment with policy? Let’s see we know from the past what works and what has never worked, so why experiment?
They need to find some twisty thing that will kinda-sorta work but still meet the goals of the social register doyens of the blue enclaves. Otherwise there will be constant hell to pay at home every evening that they don’t have that invite to the “special” event.
Your bosses, you can placate or snow. The base, who the f**k cares about them. But your spouse is going to hang it on your ass forever and ever amen.
The elite of the conservatives. Those few, those henpecked few, that band of weasels.
this is sad:

Rachel Maddow defines how conservatives and Republicans should speak.
If you are agreeing with Rachel Maddow, you might be a Democrat.
I’m sorry, meya, but since you don’t give a rat’s ass about other people’s self-expression, you’re not welcome on my threads. I’m OUTLAWY that way.
She is sort of a fascist I’ve noticed.
Rush Limbaugh is mainstream. We need to remind the world of that.
We are the normal people. We need to invite people back into the normal fold. We are reality. We are nature.
The left is Disneyland with guns, badges and mandatory attendance at the Its a Small World ride.
calvin is cool with moi ode to the working man:
President Coolidge, 1st Presidential Film (1924)
Freedom of choice in an age of compulsion. Liberal fascism on the march.
I believe Douthat is a conservative like I believe they wear long pants at NRO (well, maybe K-Lo and Nordlinger).
The REAL problem the self-styled “reformers” have is that their so-called “reforms” bear little resemblance to actual conservatism, but a striking likeness to either watered-down liberal ideas or repackaged “Libertarian” nonsense.
And yet they commiserate, whining that their wonderful innovations are given short shrift by thugs like Rush and populists like Palin (although they are never clear on exactly HOW this happens). With all that renting of garments and gnashing of teeth going on in Northern Virginia, it’s a wonder if they get a chance to sample the brie and Chardonnay.
Pity for them that most conservatives are just NQOCD (Not Quite Our Class, Dear).
#15 router,
From your link, Emperor THugo proclaims:
Oh, I do believe the irony of that last bit went ZIP right over his fat head.

Agreed. But, how shall conservatives invite people? You either get conservatism or you don’t, it’s a matter of reason and common sense, and most likely brain chemistry.
Liberals are happy to remain uninformed and incurious, it plays no part in their opinion making. MSM rhetoric contradicts what is unfolding in their very own lives, but MSM is blankly accepted.
My family members are an excellent example. They are good, intelligent, capable people, but they admit not knowing anything about the information I have confront them with (i.e. Ayers, Wright, Barney Frank’s lover in Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac cooked books, Chris Dodd, conflict of interests all over the Democrat leadership, stimulus package, etc. etc. etc.). But, it matters not.
There will be no changing of minds of any significance, I’m afraid.
Oh, and Happyfeet, I’m going to your Tea Party cause I wanna break shit! It’s time.
I would be much happier with the “Tea Parties” if they were less aimless standing and more rioting and breaking stuff.
I’m seriously getting to the point where I want stuff to burn. We can’t stop this evil electorally once the majority of people are criminals (illegals) or on the dole, the GOP is a rotted fish head, and no one at any level of government cares about freedom – but they sure love them some punitive taxation!
Atlas shrugged and then went to find his matches.
The only benefit I see to all of this is that the guvmint is going to bankrupt itself so quickly that it is just going to shoot Social Security and Medicare in the head. With those two out of the way, we stand a good chance of rebuilding a much smaller government.
This is my possibly hallucinated silver lining.
God, I hate paying Social Security.
The elite journalists, I repeat, got Obama wrong. The troglodytes got him right. As our national drama continues to unfold, bear that in mind.
Now that Obama is in charge, it is time to speak truth to power. Isn’t that what the left always says?
The only benefit I see to all of this is that the guvmint is going to bankrupt itself so quickly that it is just going to shoot Social Security and Medicare in the head.
Unfortunately all of the (in theory) non-Ponzi pension funds are going down with it.
I’ve actually considered quitting my job just so I can get my share of the contributions back out.
…but we’re afraid Rush Limbaugh might cut our cojones off and swing them around his head like a bola if we tried.
I reckon that’d be a pretty small bola.
Mike LaRoche is a dirty filthy racist ;-)
And proud of it!!! ;)
You are sooooooooooooooo denounced. Denounced and condemned. I wish Christopher London would visit :-)
Yeah, I wish Chrissy would visit too. You, Moxie, and I had a great time troll-stomping his candy ass a couple of moths ago! :)
