And each and every one of them can STFU.

Would I be going too far out on a limb if I considered all of these groups to be chapters of the KKK?

"[Senator Carl] Levin, on the other hand, argued there “is not evidence that the presence of gay and lesbian colleagues would damage our military’s ability to fight.” In fact, he said, it’s hurting the military’s ability to do its job in some cases – such as where needed linguists have been forced out at a time when they are needed."

"3. Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod, Jim Messina, and Patrick Gaspard (the White House political brain trust). This crew wants to blame the Coakley campaign and her consultants and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and—who knows?—maybe the Boston Celtics. But national politics today is a centralized operation, and it is centered in this White House. They should have made sure that the Coakley campaign was up to speed and had a real message."

"Marriage is one of the basic building blocks of our neighborhoods and our nation. At its best, it is a stable bond between two individuals who work to create a loving household and a social and economic partnership. We encourage couples to marry because the commitments they make to one another provide benefits not only to themselves but also to their families and communities. Marriage requires thinking beyond one’s own needs. It transforms two individuals into a union based on shared aspirations, and in doing so establishes a formal investment in the well-being of society. The fact that individuals who happen to be gay want to share in this vital social institution is evidence that conservative ideals enjoy widespread acceptance. Conservatives should celebrate this, rather than lament it."

Ted Olson, making the conservative case for gay marriage. (via newsweek)

Top 10 Signs You Might Not Be A Libertarian

I’m not a Libertarian, but I have some friends that are. The thing about Libertarianism? There is an arguement there— a real point of view, which is more than I can say for Republicans lately.

They are getting a bad rap. Too many of their fringe believers have been able to organize and are on TV’s and watching Glen Beck. And will the real Libertarians please stand up?
