I can understand a writer who maybe doesn’t have enthusiasm for Palin, although it amazes me that an intelligent person doesn’t understand Palin’s appeal and abilities.

But Parker really (in my opinion) is exploiting the Palin topic. How many times has she written the same thing?

And what really gets me is how some of these so-called conservatives believe this party has to be dogmatic–I think we have more variety in the GOP intellectually than the Dems do.

Parker is basically an elitist–most folks who live in her neck of the urban woods are, to be honest.

Which means she’ll continue to be held up in the MSM as a “conservative” voice. She’s a conservative like I’m a blue-eyed blond.

McCain was at the top of the ticket. And McCain is not a favorate of the Social Conservatives.

Doesn’t Kathleen Parker remember what McCain said about Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson during the 2000 primaries?

The McCain defeat should be laid at the feet of those who want to deemphasize social issues, since McCain did not support the Federal Marriage Amendment and endorses federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.

I guess Kathleen Parker will think that the GOP is wholly owned by the Christian Right until it nominates someone from the Ayn Rand Institute.

I don’t really want to elaborate, because I’ll sound as bad as Kathleen, but there was a female writer over there who is now deceased, and seriously Ms. Parker should apply.

She may speak for the GOP as it sits today, the Hagel bench specifically, but how is it I’m a Conservative, and I don’t remember her at any meetings?

We obviously don’t meet anywhere, on anything that I’ve read from her.

Ms. Parker is a conservative like Lincoln Chafee, like Chuckie Hagel, like Lindsay Gramnesty, and for that matter, like John McCain. Is she in such a cocoon that she doesn’t know that all states that have the chance to vote on gay marraige bans pass it resoundingly, even bluer than bluer California? Does she not know that most people call themselves pro-life. Good grief. She is so clueless, I wonder if she reads anything other than the New Yuck times and other liberal bird cage liners. How clueless can you be to not realize McCain probably would have went close to 40% popular vote without Palin.

Lets call them what they are

Conservatives Victorious in 2010

If it is now perfectly ok to be a radical leftist, but unacceptable to be a christian, if we are to join the effort to disenfranchise Americans due to their religious beliefs, we are spitting on the long history of American society. We are spitting not just on Sarah Palin, we are spitting on our parents, our grandparents and all the generations that came before them.

What is the point of ever winning another election if that victory is predicated upon the idea that our nation has always been some kind of vile christian theocracy?

The only threat from religion is due precisely to the power that Americans are allowing to become concentrated in Washington DC. Yes, it would be really bad if a group of fundamentalist ever got complete control of that power. Almost as bad, in fact, as if such power ever fell into the hands of radical collectivists – like now for example. We conservatives stand opposed to there being such concentrated power made available to any such group of people, and we should continue to happily embrace christians in that effort.

I think giving her space on townhall or anywhere else she writes that is conservative outlet is loopy. Let her write in newspapers and do whatever else, but don’t give her credibility by letting her write for conservative outlets.

I remember reading about the hate mail she gets and how she’s such an original thinker and martyr. I thought most of the “disagreement” mail was about right. It kinda saved having people having to post after the article except to say they concur with the dissenting opinion. Maybe that was her goal.

Kathleen Parker is so wrong. Conservatives and Moderates need each other. When will both sides understand that simple fact?

This whole situation reminds me of terrorism during the Clinton years. The MSM, including pseudo-conservatives like Parker, have been waging an undeclared war against conservatives that went full-scale global this election cycle. It’s time we realized that we are at war and start fighting back.

Perhaps some who have a background in journalism can suggest some better ways to do this. But in the meantime, any conservative pol or pundit should refuse to allow interviews with offending media outlets and/or reporters, we should stop buying or visiting the websites of these publications or reporters, etc. Maybe start a list of sponsors of MSNBC, WaPo, NYT, etc so we can either write to them or avoid them.

Can’t win a war when you’re on the side that’s not fighting!

Ms. Parker,
I’m sorry but you couldn’t be more wrong about God and the GOP. Social Conservative issues were NOT at the forefront
of this election. This election went the wrong way for a party for a variety of reasons but God wasn’t one of them. Reasons like we had a squish for a nominee who is a horrible communicator and who is best known for being a POW and going against his party.
That was not a prescription for success. And you are also wrong about Palin. That woman energized a large portion of the party
that wasn’t enthused by McCain, to the point that I was seeing Palin/McCain stickers. She was out drawing McCain and at times Obama at certain venues. This country elected an empty suited socialist first term Junior Senator from Illinois who spent 60+% of that first term running for president. The main reason he was elected was because the Democrat Party, hand in hand with the media, was able to control the content and direction of pretty much all information about this election. They were able to block
any and all negative investigations and stories about their “selection” while painting he opposition in the most negative light possible
over and over and over again. And because McCain is such a squish he didn’t fight fire with fire. Given the medias stranglehold
on information broad casted I don’t even know if he had fought fire with fire would it have made it to the airwaves.
This had nothing to do with the party’s belief in God…not this time. I’d say it had more to do with fear and ignorance. I would hope that you, claiming to be a Republican, wouldn’t allow yourself to become a tool for their propaganda.

                                            Sincerely,

                                                 Michael Dugas

She’s clearly a Rinocrat and absolutely a fraud. The left and the Democratic party would love to see social conservatives alienated as Parker advocates by the a Rino lead GOP. We can not allow that to happen.

Ms. Parker’s self righteous attack on religious members of the Republican party and the conservative base is sad and likely is rooted in the backlash that she has received for attacking Governor Palin.

Goldberg nails it!

After the Republican loss of the House and Senate, then the White House, she probably feels that in order to earn her daily bread, so to speak, from hereon out, she needs to curry favor with the transvestites, the gender change advocates and the other perverts that delight in parading around in various states of undress or engaged in licentious activities who inhabitat the areas around Fisherman’s wharf and other nearby environs that give Nancy Pelosi’s home district the potent stench of Soddom and Gommorrah as well as impending fire and brimstone.

Did anybody even read on a regular basis her before this series of childish outbursts? I had read a handful of her columns, but it’s not like she was ever at the top of the list. Well, she’s on the list for the cocktail parties. Perhaps she can help Chuckie Hagel write his memoirs of his overlong stay in the Senate.

I am looking forward the rest of my political-watching life to never listening to a squishy moderate again.

Parker being a particularly influential or widely read columnist at all, as observed by tsil above, until her tirades against Palin began.

Even so, her new “following” is the sort of folk who will celebrate anyone who can be described – however loosely – as “conservative” who criticizes conservative candidates or ideas or endorses liberal ones. They will immediately turn upon their new-found celebrities the second they voice any opinion which does not conform with the foregoing criteria.

This sad sideshow has been her “fifteen minutes of fame” promised by Andy Warhol. Parker will swiftly slide into an even deeper obscurity than that to which she is accustomed. I hope she enjoyed the ride, and is not too surprised when she finds she really has no audience, no home, and no friends.

Kathleen Parker and Peggy Noonan seem to be more jealous of Sarah Palin than anything else.

Sometimes, I enjoyed their columns in the past. You have to realize, howerver, that they were the pet Conservative lawn jockeys for liberal publications; as well as token conservative guests at Manhattan cocktail parties.

They never went too far off the Plantation. In 2000 Kathleen Parker approved the raid to get Elian Gonzalez back to Cuba. This is even when the Florida relatives were using accepted legal channels to keep him in the US. Peggy Noonan wrote approvingly of her Clinton White House tour in 1993.

My advice to both of them: Peggy Noonan get back on the RFK bus and have an omelet with Dan Rather. Maybe, BO will invite you to meet his speechwriters. KP go to the HuffnPuff post. Arianna Huffington swithced sides, we don’t miss her. She still sounds bitter after all these years when she found out her ex-husband didn’t want to be in the White House. If Sarah Palin wins in 2012 you and Arianna can commiserate.

I sent this response to Ms. Parker after I read her WaPo article and I forward to Deborah Howell for her review.

**You young lady don’t have a clue. You better hope this nation gets closer to GOD because that’s our biggest problem. Check the Zoby Poll on Obama’s voters…the MSM had a big hand in Obama’s election not the Christian right.

On that final day for all of us…we’ll be reaching out to GOD. You better hope he hears Ms. Kathleen Parker. I’m not smiling as I type this or smoking a final cigarette.**

Here’s my email to Ms. Howell.

**This is my reply to Ms. Parker’s GOD and the GOP article. I wanted you to read it because it strikes to the heart of the problem the Post has. I think you should piggy back off of John Zoby latest MSM poll to better understand the problem you guys have. Ms. Parker article only confirms our belief that you guys have an agenda and it has nothing to do with FACTS.

I remember Parker, the former Style/Life section columnist for the Orlando Sentinel. Yes, writer of such thought provoking articles as “Death to the Worms” and “Safety a Big Concern in Family Violence.” Gee, ya think? Just a general rule here Miss Parker: if you constantly find yourself calling other people stupid…it ain’t a reflection on them.

In think the GOPs vision of humanism, that is, real, judeo-christian based humanism, has served us well in the past, and will continue to serve us well in the future.

You see, Ms Parker, us god nuts have babies.
