McCarthy, Coulter, and Conservative Faggotry

Was McCarthy perfect? Of course not. Was he right? Of course. Was he 1000 times more morally upright than the communists and anti-anti-communists? Absolutely.

The reason that McCarthy’s legacy is what it is today is that otherwise well-meaning, good conservatives abandoned him to the smear campaign of the communist sympathizers. Pure faggotry, in my opinion. McCarthy was right, there was a real crisis, and if any lives were “ruined,” it was the result of simple-minded or treacherous scheming to prevent a righteous purge of Soviet spies in the U.S. government.

A little balls goes a long way (or would, if conservatives would ever display them)and I respect the f*** out of Ann Coulter for what she’s trying to do. Her very point, now illustrated brilliantly by the mass-cowering on the right, is that there’s no way that the Left can have an honest debate, so they appoint legions of sacrosanct tribunes with “absolute moral authority” in the hopes that conservative civility will prove a barrier to any kind of challenge.

Veteran amputees, Vietnam “heroes,” mothers of war dead, widows of terror victims, black “victims of racism” are all enlisted to dish it out and not take it . . . it’s a pretty clear and effective strategy.

The stakes are too damned high for these people to get a pass and there can be no doubt that the crucial battle is not for Iraq, but for the will of the American people. Thank you Ann Coulter for not conceding; it's too bad you weren't around to take on the anti-anti-commies.
