Yea lets not get too vocal in our defense of principles....lets make sure we state all of our points in a nice modulated tone because heaven forbid that anyone should think we are passionate about our cause. This is why the left has been eating the rights lunch for years....they play to win, we play to look good. Looking good does not, however much conservatives might want wish it to, put points on the board. It merely is the stuff that losers can consul themselves with after the game is over and they are left nursing their injuries.

Whenever the right has been passionate about its principles it has won big in elections. Reagan was not a moderate who minced words. Newt Gingrich is not a moderate who minces words. Both of those politicians won big. Yea Newt was brought down by the MSM but that was mainly because the "moderates" on the right deserted him in a fit of what they call principle. Yea the principle of letting the left win because its more important to look good than to win.

Lets all stand around once we are in chains and declare how pious we all are to our supposed principles. Make no mistake many on the left are dying to shackle us into a permanent minority status. Some are even willing to see us lose the war to enable that end result...and yet some on the right seem to think that we must be moderate in responding to them.

That moderation has seen us lose the colleges, newspapers, Television and any other significant form of communication to the left's corrupt philosophy. No doubt that we have the right answer to most of the significant policy and philosophy questions raised but somehow we keep losing. And like any loser we keep avoiding the sort of self critical analysis that might show us the way out.

Ann Coulter was exactly correct to state in clear terms that the 9/11 Widows of whom she spoke in the book were trading on their husbands deaths to attack our war effort. If that doesnt deserve the strongest condemnation then exactly what does? Standing on their husbands graves to raise themselves up high enough to have their voices heard and then they agitate for the defeat of the US. That deserves a lot worse than what Ann Coulter did.

Captain's Quarters is such a nice guy that its not odd he should be upset but I believe he is wrong.
AJ Strata is having a tough time deciding whether he is a conservative or a moderate...
Right Wing Nuthouse needs to breath into a paper bag.
Anchoress is her usual calm self, wrong on this but calm.
Michelle Malkin hits it out of the park pointing out that long ago the Opinion Journals Dorothy Rabinowitz had the Jersey Girls figured.
Ace of Spades is only happy if he is doing the attacking of the left...he was pretty darn harsh on Sheehan.
