A Challenge to Think Things Through.
I’m going to shamelessly depend on The Federalist again today for thoughtful commentary. There are a number of articles critiquing various aspects of the convention so far on this site which are well worth reading. However, since the theme of my blog is the hard choice that must be made by thoughtful conservatives in this election, I’m posting the following:

Beating the Saul Alinsky Dead Horse
Here’s my question: Wh-a-a-a-t?!
You’re going to have to stick with me here as I try to parse this whole “Hillary is really a Satan worshipper” hoo-ha. Here’s the point I’m trying to make: We conservatives (please note the “we”) just make ourselves look foolish and waste a lot of time on these completely, absolutely, totally ridiculous rabbit trails that have nothing to do with the issues at hand. Just like the birther movement. (In my darkest moments of cynicism I think that whole theory was dreamed up by a brilliant Obama staffer. “Hey guys! I just thought of a way to make the conservatives look naive and gullible!” But alas no. We all know who the most prominent Birther of them all is.)
