OK, I am done. They may have had some use in the past, but I am done with the wizards of smart. These people who undermined the campaign and who threw Sarah Palin and conservative principles under the bus, can now take advantage of the Change administration and get the hell out of my movement.
1. Peggy Noonan--Ms. Noonan used to make sense. In fact, sometimes she was brilliant. No more. She chose to look good to the New York intelligentsia by railing against Palin instead of realizing that Sarah Palin is the 21st century Reagan. Ms. Noonan, if you don't like small town people, then stay in New York and quit acting like you know what we believe. You have jumped the shark. Just because Sarah Palin does not engage in self-hate, or socratic dialogue, does not make her stupid. Exactly what philosophy were the slogans hope and change tied to, Peg? If you got your old decripit and sad arse out of NYC or the beltway once in a while, you might see things differently, but that would require effort.
2. Colin Powell--my endorsement is not based on race. Yeah, right. You sold out those you commanded and fought with over racial politics and your own jealousy. Enjoy the reception on the Left. Get the hell out.
3. William Weld--this makes one appreciate the axiom of never trust a republican from Massachusetts.
4. Chris Buckley--The apple didn't just fall far from the tree, but it instead fell into another dimension. You are a disgrace to WFB, and your attempts at discourse would make him vomit were he alive today. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
5. Scott McClellan--this guy is a squish anyway, and it is not polite to pick on the mentally and socially retarded. Moving on.
6. Ken Adelman--you sold out the Pentagon you were in charge of because McCain didn't smile enough. Shame on you. Get out.
7. David Frum--the highlight of your career was one speech, like Ms. Noonan. OK, maybe your book the Right Man. Since then, you have been a joke, nothing more than a whiner of biblical proportions. You castigated McCain, where a few weeks earlier you hailed him as the only one who could win in 08. Take your idiocy and join Ms. Noonan in irrelevance central.
8. David Brooks--called Palin a cancer to the GOP. No, the cancer is wizards of smart like yourself who said Mccain was the only one who stood a chance and now decide to jump on the Obama train. Enjoy the ride, and get the hell out.
9. Fred Barnes and Bill Kristol--again, these self-styled geniuses both said that McCain was the only guy who stood a chance, hailed his moves to the middle, and now talk about the decline of the conservative movement, while trying to throw Sarah Palin under the bus. No, boys, it was you elitist blue blood Beltway Boys who threw Reagan Conservatism under the bus in favor of seeking to Balkanize voters. Well, you got your wish--a squish won. Enjoy it. Now shut the hell up.
All of these idiots are cowards. Why? They are afraid of people like Sarah Palin, who represent a new generation of conservatives. They are afraid that now that they have come out as moderate squishes favoring Obamaite policies and the "me-too"candidacy of John McCain, that they will fall to the ash heap of history. And they will. This new movement doesn't need the flowery flourishes of Noonan or Frum. Instead, it will be a plain spoken and socially networked movement, networking up from blogs, the Main street (as opposed to 5th avenue), and small towns. In this new battle conservatives face, we now know we can't trust the blue bloods. We have to throw out this scum and begin again. People like Mark Steyn, Glenn Beck, Tony Blankley, Justin Higgins, Matt Hurley, Tom Blumer, and others will lead this new conservatism. We now know whose side these blue bloods are on. Let's not let them back to spoil the well anymore.
