I no long identify with ANY party, and that is a problem that the GOP can’t fix by distancing themselves from ideals and standards. If Kathy Parker gets her way, the GOP will go the way of the Whigs in the mid-1800′s.

Why? Because her rants are not about “white Christians” (in a party that has become “to the exclusion of others”) as she claims, but rather standards. She has a problem with people who hold to standards regardless of the circumstances and times in which we live (hence, where the root word for “conservative” comes). If I believe that our states should decide upon abortion laws as the Constitution says OUGHT to happen, then the problem isn’t one of faith, but rather in the rule of law. Therefore, it isn’t my faith that Parker has a problem with, but rather my political belief that our Constitution should rule us, not the dictates of the Federal government and bitter old men in black robes.

She has a problem with the people who could not get as excited about John McCain (a toothless worm who holds to no beliefs in anything whatsoever) as 99.9999% of the media got whenever Barack Obama uttered a single syllable, regardless of whether it made any sense or not. Exclusionary “white Christians” did not doom John McCain, and anyone who actually believes this (as Ms. Parker apparently does), then I have some beach-front lots for sale on the “Sea of Tranquility” that are going cheap.

An ignorant (to the point of being imbecilic) populous, an enormous media outpouring of support (to the point of literally carrying Barack Obama across the finish line), AND being the worst Republican presidential candidate since Wendell Willkie doomed John McCain. So, for Parker to simply parrot the liberal leftist propaganda regarding the Republican party being too “white” and “Christian,” and that it needs to distance itself from these people displays either rank stupidity on her part, or that she wishes to join in on the dog-pile that will inevitably destroy the GOP.

Regardless of her “reasons,” she has declared that she is devoid of any standards whatsoever, and that is the liberal way. Liberals were pro-life forty years ago, and now the very same will vote against preserving the life of a born baby who survived a botched abortion. Liberals always throw away standards and principles if “the times” dictate that they do so. Kathleen Parker is a liberal, and if she has an honest bone in her body, she’ll admit it.

But with her, I can see there is a fine line that can be crossed between having one… and being one!

Heh!

Too late for your dinner, RS, but I did find this:

I agree. I used to like to read her. But, something happened to her during this election. She’s not the same writer I used to know.

I did notice her left turn about two months ago, then I stopped reading her and did not attend an event she was to be.

“…shifting demographics suggest that the Republican Party — and conservatism with it — eventually will die out unless religion is returned to the privacy of one’s heart where it belongs.”

*emphasis mine

Well, here’s another quote for you:

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…,
Matthew 28:18-19 (NIV)</i

Doesn’t sound like we’re being told to keep the good news in the privacy of our hearts, does it?

Given the choice of heeding Ms. KP’s words or the words of the true Messiah, well, I’ll let the words of Joshua speak for me:

“…choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve,…But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD…”
Joshua 24:14-16

No problem! Its a gift.

Actually I paid a lot of money for it…. My ex’s lawyer taught me that if you throw enough mud on the wall, something eventually has to stick.

Fortunately she ran out of money to buy enough mud before his theory was validated.

…I really am puzzled by this. Sarah Palin represents every wonderful woman that I’ve ever known and I have great confidence in her leadership and her abilities. I just can’t figure out the Parkers of the conservative world.

I share your view on Sarah Palin. Kathleen Parker is either a maverick wannabe trying to ingratiate herself with Eastern liberal elites, or she is just too stupid to tell the difference between an SNL caricature and the real Sarah Palin.

Attacking someone for no good reason other than you detect the faint smell of blood in the water and you want to get in on the feeding frenzy is a cowardly act that should be left to sharks and lawyers.

Kathleen Parker…wasn’t she a 70′s porn star? Sheesh…
