• Social conservatives throw tantrum over gay GOPers at CPAC

  —Ikeonic

  Number of comments: 2
  Those oh so friendly and tolerant social conservatives are throwing a tizzy of GOProud's (former Log Cabin Republicans) sponsorship of CPAC.
  
  Funny, I actually agree with all of GOProud's stated legislative priorities, including these two:

• Wanted: tighty righties on fixies

  —Jack Bog's Blog

  [W]ith the white working class shrinking and the educated "creative class" growing, playing the populism card looks like a strategy of subtraction rather than addition. A more enlightened approach would be to go after college-educated voters, to make the GOP safe for smarties again. What's needed is a full-fledged effort to [...]

  It's hard to [...]

  It's rare for me to agree with Kathleen Parker. Even her criticism of Sarah Palin as "out of her league" didn't go far enough - Parker should have said "out of her mind". But when it comes to the GOP's new "purity test", she isn't entirely wrong.' [...]

  —Ikeonic

  Number of comments: 0
  Predictably, Charles Johnson is up in arms over the GOP's proposed "purity test".  Chamberlain-esque RINO candy ass Allahpundit has a more, balanced sane opinion.
  
  My two cents:  the purity test is wrong because if Reagan was their inspiration (someone who agrees with me 80% of the time [...]
