On “against the wind

why would i want to?
'tis pointless.
Conservatism has sold its soul to the villagers with the pitchforks and torches for power. The Honorable Stewardship of the rights of the Noble Yeomen Farmers was to lead them to greater good, but you only seek to exploit their base passions for political gain.
Have a nice extinction.
You deserve it.

While you cause a granular universe to persist in your awareness, you are blind to movement. When things change, your absolute universe vanishes, no longer accessible to your self-limiting perceptions. The universe has moved beyond you.

Are you saying that how Islam treats people isn’t my business
Yes.
And yes, you are a WEC.
You just evangelized christianity over al-Islam in treatment of women.
And yes I am entitled to crit both christianity and "conservatives".
I am a fourth-generation republican.
I was raised republican and catholic. I am in revolt against the horrorshow ugliness and dishonesty of my grandfathers party.
The last thing he said to me was always vote republican.
Never again.

"

Freemarket capitialism in it's purest form brought us the Econopalypse.
Survival of the greediest.

"

Actually al-Islam doesn't treat teh XX anymore like crap than xianity.
Cite, chattel slavery of women and children is still a strong WEC theme.
Cite, denial of reproductive rights and sex education.
Cite, Manzi's small distributed jesusland federalism.
Also, too. How al-Islam treats treats teh XX is NOT YOUR BUSINESS, WEC.
The conservative base is your bidness. al-Islam has ZERO to do with your extinction problem.
What about doing the right thing for once?
The honorable thing, the noble thing.
Tell the base is is wrong to be racists and homophobes.
It is wrong to try to force creationism on other peoples children.
I don't see Charles Johnsons traffic dropping off.

"

Kyle, Rush and Beck are cheerleaders for homophobia, racism and con-serf-a-tism. The GOP leadership and soi-disant intelligentsia are ENSLAVED to the WEC base.
I repeat.....
Have a nice extinction.

"

I've been banned by waaaay better then you.
The truth is, until you recover your honor......you will just continue to drive off youth and the college-educated and minorities in revulsion.
Have a nice extinction.

"

Dude, how boutchu just man-up and tell the base that racism is WRONG, homophobia is WRONG and neocon interventionist meddling is WRONG.....and throw in survival of the greediest(aka capitalism) is WRONG.
Get some nads.

On “On duplicity, fairweather conservatism, and the art of war

You can NEVER reform conservatism without reforming the base.
Where is your stewardship, your honor?
You go around in pantswetting fear of the base.
Put a damn bridle on the populist horse before its too late.

On “Free Douthat

I mean 500 YEARS before Galileo finally convinced the pig-ignorant papists of heliocentrism.

"

C'mon, Freddie, Douthat is a "moran".
The only way to improve the quality of american political discourse is to have his jaw wired shut and put him in anti-typing handcuffs.
I particularily despised his last polemic on the "ignorant little brown muslim people".
I'm reading a book by Ibn Arabi on string theory and spacetime that was written a half century before Galileo finally convinced the pig-ignorant papists of heliocentrism.

On “The Theology of Papa

Im sorry Chris, but this issue is absolutely an empty purse on spirituality.
It is a hostile takeover.
You and Douthat are wholly, completely, totally, wrong.
So long and thanks for all the priests.

On “Douthat calls for open religious warfare; thousands perish in ensuing Crusade

You can't compete.
The Prophet understood xian proselytization very well and proofed the people against it as well as he could. Islam is the next evolutionary stage of monotheism.
WECs are dying out.
The vibrant beating heart of New Xianity is black, brown, and yellow.
I for one welcome Our New Multi-colored Overlords.
rawr!

"

The enemy of my enemy is still a Reaver.

On “Rewriting the conservative narrative

Dude..
You don't need to convince meh you aren't RELLY racists-- convince them.
97% blacks voted for Obama
67% youth voted for Obama
68% hispanic voted for Obama

"

Being WEC means never having to say you're sorry.
rawr.

"

E.D. you can't go around in pantswetting fear of the base.
You have to reform the base.
Tell that rascism is wrong, and if they cant get over it, the GOP is a forever rump.
The base loves Beck and Rush because they say, no, you are not racists, you are just "concerned" about socialism/obama's birth cert/perserving marriage/ LIFE!.......and n/e ways Obama and the dems are the REAL racists.
GW is a WEC.....that means, my way or the highway essentially.
That is how we landed in such straits....the evangelical mindset. Bush had some good advisors, like Powell, but being WEC means god-is-on-your-side and you don't need any stinking expert advice.
Also, too.
Being means never having to say you're sorry.

"

Here is something interesting.....instead of pandering to insanity, call them out.
An emergent movement of truth and responsibility in public discourse on the Right by Barrett Brown and Charles Johnson?

"

And like Pope Benedict and the Anglicans, bring the dissidents back into the loving arms of the larger movement.
Surely even E.D. is not this clueless.
The Bad Shepherd just stole all the Anglicans that were anti-OPENLY-gay clergy or anti-female clergy.
The pure distillate of cynicism and heartless soulless pragmatism.
So Long and thanks for all the priests.
Which is not to say you shouldn't do something similar if you can pull it off.
lawls.

"

Giant lie.
Over half of the conservative base are birthers aka racists.
Larison is a member of the League of the South, and so is RS McCain.
Minorities have very highly sensibilities to stealthy or subliminated racism-- their lives ofter depended on it.
Racism to minorities is exactly like being black-- it only takes one drop.
What good does lying to yourselves about the base's racism do for you?

"

I think it’s important to realize that many people of color are social conservatives.
sure, but they will NEVER for the WEC Party.

"

con-serf-a-tism, n, defn--
the mistaken belief by the proletariat that keeping Wallstreet's capitalist boot on their throats will one day result in a key to the club.
;)

On “12 Steps to a Healthy Republican Party

Sam, you are seeing graceful degradation of service to WEC ideology.
Or at least as graceful as Obama can manage.
11-dimensional chess games take a long time.

"

No. The pendulum isn't swinging back, except in an extremely damped arc. Consider abortion. The next shot teh Pro-Life have at changing the composition of the Supremes is post 2016. By then we will be buying Bene Tleilax human ectogenisis machines from the Japanese....they have been doing goat embryos to fullterm for the last 10 years. In 5 more years we will have the last few codons for synthetic life.
The advance of science and technology and the evolution of culture and electoral demographics have simply rendered huge chunks of white christian conservatism obsolete.... not to mention the abject and obvious FAIL of neocon interventionism.
You need a renaissance, a rebirth.
And creative destruction is how it will have to happen.

"

No its like this.
There are a lot of conservatives.....but the black, brown, and yellow wont vote for you.
ever.
the GOP is compromised....burn it down.

"

Nice post, Jaybird, but.....I think the bigger problem is that the Republican party is just plain obsolete.
Consider Poulos' post on the "Culture War".
Especially you should read the comments....this one--

I’m with Nietzsche. He was just observing what had become inarguable. Not that God was dead, but that He wasn’t to be found in cultural/civilizational forms out there. Sure the forms exist, but with a few exceptions these forms have as much relevancy to the spirit that once animated them as the New York St. Patrick’s Day parade has to the spirit St. Patrick. They are dead forms animated by the undead energies of nostalgia, jingoism, and other vulgar passions. Conservatives simply don’t want to face up to this truth, and keep fighting this battle for a zombie culture, and in doing so are looking for love in all the wrong places–out there in the mainstream culture. They are fighting for the preservation of cultural forms that were shaped by spiritual cultural energies that simply no longer exist.

There is no culture war.....there is only an evolutionary event, like an ice age or the extinction event at the K-T boundary. Your 12step program is like trying to battle glacial flow with pitchforks and torches.

The death of the GOP will enable the rise of a new party with viable memes and a broader demographic appeal.
Death rocks and evolution rolls.
