remember what I said about reconciliation ?
That also applies to the slaughter rule.
Conservatives are not going to disarm anymore in the hopes of making the media love us.

Oh and just a reminder to our democratic friends…

If all democrats are like this then we’ve got the next election in the bag

I was at a restaurant after the men’s conference and was telling the owner about my adventures during the Scott Brown campaign and CPAC when he introduced me to a reporter/democratic operative who had come to eat with his wife. It was a very interesting experience.
When I was asked to explain the reasons why I thought Martha Coakley lost I started out by reminding him of her abortion flip flop concerning the healthcare bill. The moment I brought that up the gentleman started filibustering saying I had no business voting for Scott Brown since he had flipped on abortion. He would not let me finish my point when he started making “tea bagger” references. I reminded him that this was a vulgar sexual reference, quite inappropriate as he was sitting with his wife in a public restaurant, but he continued to use the reference and then maintained that the Obama joker posters were beyond the pale and other than the odd union sign democrats never acted this way.
As I was in fact born after the invention of the internet and did live through the eight years of the Bush administration I wouldn’t let him get away with that either, saying he could tell that to the marines but not to me. (Even Charles Johnson wouldn’t fall for that). It was astounding, it was the same tone deafness that the Coakley campaign had combined with a touch of the bigotry of the Boston Berkshires and ‘Bama lady.
When the gentleman started to suggest that my mother who left the democratic party this year was “confused” it was definitely time to excuse myself. I game my respects to his embarrassed wife (I felt bad for her, she seemed a nice lady and her reaction to my respects suggested that she had to deal with her husband in this capacity before) and left them to their dinner.
His inability to listen, suggestions that I was not capable of learning or understanding, lack of basic decorum; particularly in front of lady were troubling. Combine this with his attempts to make assertions that were false on their face and frustration when I would not accept them leads me to believe that Coakley’s weaknesses are not unique among democratic circles. If that is the case then the Democratic party in Massachusetts may be in much worse trouble than they know or will acknowledge.
Around the blogroll St. Patrick’s day edition

Spent the night working on my taxes and at a hospitality meeting for my church.
Meanwhile in at a blog near you see see the following:
Camp of the Saints celebrates St. Patrick’s day by bringing on Rule 5 a few days early as he puts it “Erin go braless”.
How is it that visiting the camp of the saints tend to make a person want to sin?
Over at the DaHospitalityGuy’s place he talks on a much more serious note about anti-depressants and unemployment:
Am I depressed? Of course I am. Naturally who wouldn’t be? I’m without a job. I’m without my family. I miss reading to my daughter. I miss playing with my son. I miss giving hugs and kisses and hearing them say I love you daddy.
Do I need a pill to take those feelings away? No. I want to miss my children. I want to care. I have a purpose. I don’t want a pill to cover that up and make me feel artificially better.
I know things have been hard for me but If you have some prayers to offer, I’d send them his way first.
Meanwhile at Haemet the charming Roxeanne (yet another example of 20/40) reminds of that we conservatives have been declared defeated many times before:
In the fifteen months since the Left declared us to be a waning political group and a thing of the past, we’ve seen:
* The popularity of conservatism eclipse that of liberalism;
* “Swing state” Virginia elect a hard-core conservative a twenty-point margin;
* New Jersey elect a conservative governor;
* Prius-driving Bostonians go crazy over Scott Brown, who campaigned on the promise of stopping the liberals in DC; and
* Barack Obama’s approval ratings drop to the lowest point of any sitting President at this time in an administration.Running score: Leftists, 0; conservatives, 1.
Have of the battle is the willingness to keep fighting.

As Stacy McCain reminds us.
The Doc’s op ed is worth a read, as is his website and the post in question.
I tend to like people and try to make friends, but a truism in life is you can tell if you are making a difference by the enemies you make. Dr. Wolf must be making a difference.
Don’t feel bad doc, Cousin Barack doesn’t have Aunt Zeituni over the house either.
