ON BEING NOBLE AND OTHER NONSENSICAL IDEAS IN THE AGE OF OBAMA
I want to give Obama the benefit of the doubt and I want him to do well. I agree that we should not "devolve into the mindless destructionism" that the left has used against the right for the last eight years. But when you see and hear the things that are still coming from the left after Obama's victory and when you remember how short the honeymoon was for W., it's not easy. Hollywood and the mainstream media will praise this man (Obama) no matter what he does. Chris Matthews is already saying it is his responsibility to make sure Obama is a success. I don't think too many on the left debated whether President Bush is a good man. And I know Chris Matthews did not feel his job requirements included making sure that President Bush was a success.

WHO ARE YOU CALLING A MODERATE?
Rick,
Just started visiting this site a couple of weeks ago and definitely view you as a conservative. I look forward to reading your column every day, even if I disagree with some of what you say. Was surprised to see that you're not pro-life, but one issue does not kick you off the team. While some of the litmus tests are funny (horns,tails and pitchforks and Marx, Hitler and BinLaden rolled into one on the dems)I think the real point is that true conservatives welcome debate on any matter and are confident in their point of view. The liberals dismiss the concept of debate and always paint the conservative as slow or dim-witted. Liberals loved John McCain until he was nominated. Kerry asked him to be his VP candidate four years ago. The NYTimes even endorsed him to be the GOP candidate. That's because he was the least conservative of the candidates. Now, running a bit more to the right, they look at him as the one with the horns and pitchfork. And to suggest that Obama's record should be examined more closely (at least as closely as Palin's) does not mean that I think he is the equivalent of Hitler or Marx or Bin Laden.
