Don't be stupid. He's not saying that conservatives are, perforce, blind to what's going on. He's just raising the issues in the present context -- in case you haven't noticed, there's a national election in ten days.

So I don't care who he quotes (unless its Buckley). I'm sick of you guys calling people like Buchanan and Hitler or whoever-you-feel-like-and-know-does-not-represent-serious-conservative-thought conservatives. The converse would be if we started calling Pelosi, Byrd, Ho and Stalin serious liberals (in the modern day sense of the word). But we are the nice guys and we take your shrill insults with a big smile. After the election, no more Mr. nice guy pal.

If I thought I or Schmitt had done something remotely like this, I would apologize. Instead, I think he has interesting things to say. If you don't want to engage, fine -- the Red Sox won, so I'm in a good mood -- but I don't want to defend the turf that you are trying to assign to me.

Kerry'v views on national security depend on the day of the week, the hour of the day, and his target audience. The one thing I've been asking from you guys for weeks, which you still can't show me, is him advocating the "preemption" thing. We aren't safe unless we are willing to kick a terrorist in the groin before he does it to us. Kerry and his wife, apparently, wouldn't mind an occasional kick in the nuts.

That's bullshit. He may not express himself well, but we're electing a President, not a Chief Public Relations Executive. He said in the debate that he would act unilaterally if necessary. He voted to authorize the use of force in Iraq when it appeared that force might be necessary to pre-empt the use of WMD against us. So what's your problem? His judgment couldn't be any worse than Bush's.
