September 26, 1998  –  Respectable Conservatives Kill Their Wounded

 

OBSERVATIONS

 

1. Conservative respectables are wonderful for liberals. One of the leading lawyers supporting Clinton on MSNBC mentioned he had hundreds of sex offenders as clients. In short, he makes his living getting sex offenders back on the streets ASAP. Not one conservative respectable picked up on that - of course. Alan Derschowitz and Arthur Miller are Harvard lawyers who have devoted their lives to getting repeat criminals off.

Respectable conservative debating this say - guess what - not a word! Boy, those conservative respectables are brave denouncing letting criminals back on the streets - until they have to face off with one of the people who do it. What a bunch of prostitutes respectable conservatives are!

2. CODE WORD: "irreverence"

Charles Groden exposed himself as such a fanatical liberal that, despite his expensive contract, MSNBC had to take away his daily show. Nobody wanted to watch him.

The new Charles Groden at MSNBC is named Keith Obermann. Like Groden, they say he is "irreverent". Which means he smiles and says liberal things.

Watch that word irreverent.

 

ENGLISH WORKS!

 

When Bob Whitaker and Joe Sobran agree on a point, all decent men agree that it therefore be the truth.

Joe and I were talking recently, and we agreed that old-fashioned liberalism is no longer the problem. Liberalism is discredited. Liberalism is dead meat.

Our real problem today is the one thing that keeps liberalism from being laughed off the national stage completely. What is saving liberalism today is Respectable Conservatism.

For example, Bob Barr just lost any chance he ever had of being declared a Respectable Conservative by the national media.

Congressman Barr was a guest on CNN's Burden of Proof when Greta Sustern quoted Monica Lewinsky as saying that Clinton had never actually offered her a job in return for her testimony.

Good, what a stupid statement! OF COURSE Clinton wasn't stupid enough to make a flat offer of a job in return for testimony!

But no respectable conservative is going to point out how incredibly stupid that remark was.

There are several absolute rules you have to follow if you are going to be an Official Respectable Conservative. One of the biggest is that you must treat every liberal as a Serious Intellectual, no matter how ridiculous he is.

No Respectable Conservative will ever point out that Official Liberal Intellectual Alan Derschowitz is a nasty little bastard who has made a career out of getting repeat criminals back on the street. All Respectable Conservatives defer to Derschowitz' Deep Morality and his Official Brilliance.

Greta Sustern is also an Official Brilliant Liberal Theorist. No matter how silly she gets, you NEVER point out that she is being silly.

But Barr did.

Barr looked at her the way an intelligent man looks at any moron, and he said,

"Look, I was a prosecutor for many years, and I won hundreds of obstruction of justice cases. Never once did anyone say...." And here he slowed down to a mechanical repetition to make fun of Sustern:

"If-you-say-what-I-ask-you-to-say-I-will-give-you-money-and-a-job."

Barr continued, "The person obstructing justice does NOT say, "ATTENTION, this-is-a-quid-pro-quo. REPEAT-this-is-a-quid-pro-quo."

Sustern had said something really stupid and Barr nailed her with it.

He went on:

"The way it works in the real world is that a person like Clinton calls a Betty Curry into his office and says, "Now, you were with me all the time I was with Lewinsky, right? She came onto me but I wouldn't go along, right?"

Unlike Barr, a respectable conservative NEVER calls a leftist down when he is being moronic. If he did, the conversation would be very short and the leftist wouldn't stand a chance.

Only respectable conservatives allow liberalism to continue to dominate our national dialogue.

 

RESPECTABLE CONSERVATIVES KILL THEIR WOUNDED

 

Linda Tripp has had it! Liberals are going after her, which means respectable conservatives are after her. She is helpless now, and libs hate her, so respectable conservatives will earn their "respectable" label by cutting her throat.

This is what respectable conservatism is all about. As M. Stanton Evans pointed out, "Conservatives always leave their wounded."

Actually, if you want to be a really respectable conservative like Kemp or Hatch or Buckley, you have to do more than that. You have to cut the throats of your wounded.

The word "respectable" is absolutely essential if one is to make good money as a right winger. You don't get on national television without it, and you don't get a national column that is generally published without it. Unless liberals declare you to be a "respectable" rightist, you become a fascist, you become "anaziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews," and nobody will touch you.

This wonderful term "respectable" comes at a price. That price is exacted by the liberals who control our national dialogue.

Even Pat Buchanan, who is as far right as he is allowed to be, always chooses respectability first, no matter how ridiculous he has to be to do it. If he must choose between conservatism and respectability, a respectable conservative never hesitates to choose respectability.

Look at the craziness even Buchanan has indulged in to keep his "respectable" label:

An outright racist appeared on Crossfire way back when Buchanan and Bradley were on it, and Buchanan joined the liberal commentator Bradley absolutely. Buchanan was in danger of being called anaziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews, so he had to jump through every hoop Bradley wanted him to.

In his desperation to prove to Bradley that he was respectable, Buchanan agreed to the most incredible proposition. Buchanan insisted that American soldiers fought in World War II to allow massive nonwhite immigration into Europe!

Bradley told the racist what all liberals always say about World War II. He said that American soldiers fought and died so that Europe would accept massive third world immigration and integrate.

The racist said, reasonably enough, that had American soldiers thought that was what they were fighting for, they would have refused to fight.

Buchanan had to prove he was not an Evil Racist, so he backed Bradley all the way. He insisted again and again that American soldiers went to Europe to fight and die for massive third world immigration and integration!

I could not believe Buchanan had done that. But he said the same thing again. Then he INSISTED on it again.

The segregated United States Army, said Buchanan, fought to make Europe brown!

He agreed to everything else Bradley said. In this debate, any deviation from the liberal line would have threatened his status as a respectable conservative, so all bets were off.

I don't think I have ever been so disappointed in anybody in politics as I was in Buchanan on that program. He absolutely CRAWLED!

The left NEVER deserts its wounded. When the USSR fell, Phil Donahue immediately teamed up with one of the Communist Party's Russian defenders in a joint program. Nobody attacks Communists without catching it from liberals.

And if you call a liberal a Communist, he'll look you straight in the eye and tell you where to go. He won't let you call any other liberal a Commie, either.

But if you want to scare off a respectable conservative, say "NAZIWHOWANTSTOKILLSIXMILLIONJEWS" loudly and he will panic and give you anything you ask.

And if a liberal calls anybody anaziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews, every respectable conservative demands the right to join the lynch mob.

If liberals give you the label "respectable", you got it made. You become a Jack Kemp or an Orrin Hatch or a William Buckley. A respectable conservative becomes half of the political dialogue. Jesse Jackson allows him to come on "Both Sides."

Remember that it was not Orrin Hatch or William Buckley who was out there defending Paula Jones when she was alone against Clinton. It was the "fever swamp" (AKA, not respectable) right that stood by her.

Linda Tripp has ceased to be of use to Starr, and the liberals want her bad. So she has had it, and only the "fever swamp" right will fail to declare her Evil.
