You're absolutely right Pdog. But this David Frum moron is trying to imply that Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, Levin, etc. are driving people away from the conservative point of view. The facts prove the exact opposite. Their ratings are growing massively. As are the sale of conservative books. These book sales are going through the roof. Next time you go into a Barnes & Noble take a look at how many conservative books are on the shelves these days. Michelle Malkin, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, and other conservative authors have been selling books in the millions, Levin in particular. Then add the Town hall meetings and the millions of Americans who turned up there, and the independent Tea Parties, culminating with the DC event, which contrary to MSM reports, attracted over one million people.

The writing is on the wall, and as all of these efforts are coalescing so too are Dems numbers dropping, Obama's numbers are dropping daily in fact. We shall see, but speaking from a personal point of view I can tell you that many people that I know who voted for Obama are having a serious case of buyer's remorse. If I am having people come up to me, personally, and saying these things then I know full well that there is something afoot on a national level, and the numbers and trends are backing that up hunch up.

"Mark Levin's brilliant book "Liberty and Tyranny", has sold over one million copies, even though the NYT never once reviewed it."

A million copies. Wow, that's impressive. Who regularly beats that??

From Sullivan:

A Neocon Panic -

    It must drive them nuts to see a clear, if limited, victory for a strategy that is diametrically opposed to their own. Their ideology being discredited by events, and so they characteristically fall back into blind fits of intransigence, like screaming, foot-stomping children.

    That Goldberg emailer fails to see what has happened. Obama has known about this facility from day one. At Cairo, he reached out the Muslim world, undermining the Iranian regime's ability to engage in arm-waving, fear-mongering anti-Americanism.  He built himself a triumvirate with Brown and Sarkozy, who actually have an intelligence presence in Iran.  He used that presence to build an airtight case.  He cut a deal with the Russians.  He reached out to Iran, knowing that they would likely reject or ignore his overtures.  Then, when Ahmadinejad comes to New York, having to face Western journalists, Obama announces the the existence of the Qom facility, turning the spotlight on Iran when they are unable to hide behind state-controlled media.  Obama, cool and calm, pulled off a near-perfect diplomatic pincer.

    Finally, after years, we're starting to get somewhere with no threats and no bombs. Like I said, it must drive the neocons nuts. Obama did in eight months what George Bush couldn't do in eight years.  How long do you think it will take for Krauthammer find a way to twist this victory into an accusation of naivete?

We know where the naivete exists: among the neocons who predicted an easy, quick victory in Iraq, a country they assured us had no real sectarian tension. I take full responsibility for believing them. But I learned something which they apparently haven't: their claims of hard-headedness are delusional. They don't actually know how the world works. Obama, it seems, may have a better grip.

Funman I put about as much stock in an article written by Andrew Sullivan as you would if I were to post an article from Ann Coulter. That's why his interview of Frum is so laughable. Let Sullivan interview a true conservative, someone like Levin for example? Levin would shred him with indisputable facts, and historical references to back up his argument. Good ol' Sully would be left with nothing but liberal talking points to fall back on.

I'll put my favorite Brit political pundit, Mark Steyn, up against Andrew Sullivan any day of the week.

Very good people too... but when you start to talk to them, as I do with my neighbors, they can get really weird about things like other religions.... I just had my wonderful neighbor, yelling at me, not personally, when she was talking about Kaye Bailey hutchinsons adoptions... She got so excited, anyone who would've been a fly on the wall, would've thought she was mad at me for adopting two black kids, then she was upset about religious exposure in the public schools on any level, which I thought was sane, but it is b/c she has no respect for other religions at all... She is not unlike the Athiest who denies Christians, she is just the christian that denies a Hindu...
See what I don't get, is why these evangelicals, want something evil to appear? They are waiting around, making a pretty pathetic existence, waiting for this evil to take over, end the world and then... Faith is a great thing, but faith in this, is not healthy. Spending your life, denying yourself all the gifts life has to offer, waiting for god to save you, is not a sane form of beleif in a creative intelligence, god, creative force, the universe, nature ect.... especially, when your beleif spends most it's effort and energy denying the faiths of others!!!! This sets into action functions of the brain and behaviours that have been proven to be unhealthy and negative, no matter how well people try to cloak all the supposed good and charity they think they do....
