DEMOCRATIC PARTY PARTISANS TO 'OUT' GAY REPUBLICANS
I think Barney Frank has adequately put it when he says (paraphrasing), “You have a right to privacy, but not to hypocrisy.”
Rep Barney Frank has engaged in evils, corruptions, lies and assualts on our liberties that go so far beyond the nitpicking flaw of hypocrisy that he has no RIGHT to lecture mere hypocrites. It's like Bernie Madoff lecturing cheap tippers.
Let he who is without a history of abusing his Congressional office to get his live-in gay prostitute boy toy out of legal trouble cast the first stone.

Where’s the line? Obliterated when Republicans tried to take down an American president for lying about a private sex act.
President Clinton committed perjury, lying under oath in a sexual harrassment suit. It's appalling to think that perjury and keeping one's private life private are the same line.
BTW The real hypocrites on that score were the feminists who would subject any male in America to getting legally beaten to a pulp on such a sexual harrassment matter, and would demand a male behaving in such a way (as Clinton did) be FIRED IMMEDIATELY. Even though Bob Packwood never treated a woman as badly as Clinton treated Kathleen Willey, Clinton got the get-out-of-feminist-way-free card due to being a pro-abort Democrat.

"Guys like Limbaugh preach their hate 24/7"
Garbage - no he doesnt. You are the hater here spewing slander. Rush has his opinion and it is often good and well-considered compared with the nonsense from the other side eg from Air America or MSNBC, but you just dont like his conservative views. So you call his pro-limited-govt opinion 'hate' and you call them 'hypocrites' when YOU are the hater and the hypocrite for engaging in these personal character attacks.
I am sick of the intolerance of differences of opinion on the liberal side and the left. They really are over-eager to engage in personal attacks and slanders and dissent suppression.

The radical Modern Liberal thugs’ line was drawn decades ago by Marcuse’s “Liberating Tolerance” (i.e., ‘intolerance for anything coming from the Right and tolerance for anything coming from the Left’).
The link says this: "If we look at it analytically, if we look at it historically, we quickly find out exactly what it is. Political Correctness is cultural Marxism."
Here is more, in his detailed exposition of the Institute for Social Research at Frankfurt in the 1930s:
The stuff we’ve been hearing about this morning – the radical feminism, the women’s studies departments, the gay studies departments, the black studies departments – all these things are branches of Critical Theory. What the Frankfurt School essentially does is draw on both Marx and Freud in the 1930s to create this theory called Critical Theory. The term is ingenious because you’re tempted to ask, "What is the theory?" The theory is to criticize. The theory is that the way to bring down Western culture and the capitalist order is not to lay down an alternative. They explicitly refuse to do that. They say it can’t be done, that we can’t imagine what a free society would look like (their definition of a free society). As long as we’re living under repression – the repression of a capitalistic economic order which creates (in their theory) the Freudian condition, the conditions that Freud describes in individuals of repression – we can’t even imagine it. What Critical Theory is about is simply criticizing. It calls for the most destructive criticism possible, in every possible way, designed to bring the current order down. And, of course, when we hear from the feminists that the whole of society is just out to get women and so on, that kind of criticism is a derivative of Critical Theory. It is all coming from the 1930s, not the 1960s.
Other key members who join up around this time are Theodore Adorno, and, most importantly, Erich Fromm and Herbert Marcuse. Fromm and Marcuse introduce an element which is central to Political Correctness, and that’s the sexual element. And particularly Marcuse, who in his own writings calls for a society of "polymorphous perversity," that is his definition of the future of the world that they want to create. Marcuse in particular by the 1930s is writing some very extreme stuff on the need for sexual liberation, but this runs through the whole Institute. So do most of the themes we see in Political Correctness, again in the early 30s. In Fromm’s view, masculinity and femininity were not reflections of ‘essential’ sexual differences, as the Romantics had thought. They were derived instead from differences in life functions, which were in part socially determined." Sex is a construct; sexual differences are a construct.
This is pertinent because the "theory is to criticize". Outing of a gay person who chooses to keep his sexuality private is a hostile act meant to criticize - IT IS DECONSTRUCTION APPLIED TO A HUMAN BEING.
Ponder that, and then ponder 'the politics of personal destruction' and the use of the 'race card' ... these are the rotten fruit of a poisoned tree.

I think that us on the right are fracturing at a high rate and we will be on the loosing side for a long time. All the wars over who is a real conservative and who is not has killed us and will for years to come.
Oh yea of little faith. Obama's socialist, narcissistic, globalistic, corrupt, kleptocratic and insanely wrong decisions and statement are daily re-uniting the right. Obama has the prolifers on board fighting Sebelius. The neo-cons are in shock at Obama's dishonest handling of the 'torture memos' and the underlying facts that we saved lives through this validates the Bush administrations decisions. Last, the massive over-spending, tax increases and business regulations are making all fiscal conservatives and libertarians realize that we cannot afford a Democratic majority.
We need to unite the right. If Republican leaders can articulate a consensus conservative message it will be a winning one.

In contrast, President Barack Obama’s widely criticized stimulus package was passed by congress on a party line vote to the tune of $787 billion dollars. The major difference here: President Obama’s stimulus plan hasn’t cost the lives of 4,000 troops and over 100,000 (lowest estimate possible) Iraqi citizens.”
Iraq spending, which amounts to less than 5% of total spending in the 10 year time period, has liberated Iraqi people from a dictator. Obama's $16 trillion total spending in 4 years and $10 trillion in new debt will make the next generation of US people debt-slaves.

I was going to make a pithy comment about how Charles Johnson has appointed himself the Hall Monitor for the online right, and we all know everybody HATES Hall Monitors, but ... this hit me:
Robert Spencer. Charles Johnson threw Robert frickin’ Spencer under the bus. Without even going into a single other disgraceful act the man has committed, that single act should be enough for you to disassociate yourself from him.
I agree. Robert Spencer is a decent man and a brave man. He has truly done an important service in exposing Jihadists. His site many years ago got me clued in to what was actually in the Quran that made Bin Laden be 'true' to Quranic tradition - if you dont 'get' that, you dont 'get' what real danger of Islamic Jihadism is to the West.
It's one thing for us conservatives to fight the good fight against leftists, but at least we dont get death threats or fatwas a la Salman Rushdie for it. Robert Spencer through his work is facing those risks. Throwing decent people like Robert Spencer under the bus for churlish guilt-by-association reasons is a non-justifiable and non-conservative thing. That action alone should tell you that Johnson has a screw loose somewhere. It aint fitting, it just aint fitting.
LGF site is not bearable and now boring due to the purging mentality and too full of Johnson's own Jihad-against-creationism, which is boring and irrelevent side-issue for most non-militant creationists or atheists.
The view from the Jihad watch side:

NOT A MISPRINT: OBAMA SEEKS CUTS OF 100 <em>MILLION</em> TO CURB DEFICIT
The GOP is never to blame.
Your opinion/strawman, not mine. See above. Budget deficits are due to excessive spending and can be laid at the feet of all those who vote for higher spending, from either party.

Funny how “just enough” Republicans always find a way to cross the aisle, thus ensuring the passage of the wildly unpopular bailouts, giveaways, and government secured loans to the titans of Wall Street. Still, what’s a faithful Small Government Conservative Republican gonna do?
Fire the sorry asses of the Republicans who wimp out and do the wrong thing. This of course has led to the aforementioned fact of a rump Republican minority. ... I am convinced that Liddy Dole lost her race on the bailout vote. People vs heavy-hitter Charlotte bankers ... hmmmm .... she made her pick, people took another.

"And the economy is doing better"
Compared to what? We lost almost 3 million jobs since Obama was elected. We wont get those jobs back any time soon.

The best we can say right now is that the deceleration of the economy has slowed.
But its kind of like when Wile E Coyote hits the bottom of the canyon.
