…it must time for another anti-libertarian post.

Here is Karen DeCoster asking a particularly dumb question about crunchy cons:

I guess my real question is: how do a bunch of self-described conservatives with neoconservative politics and eclectic, oddball, personal preferences become a segregated ideological group practice?

Ms. DeCoster has dubbed the crunchies “idiotic” and “stupid.” Profound thoughts, these. If it is actually possible, she has managed to outdo John Podhoretz in making irrelevant, dismissive and vacuous remarks about the CCs. Normally I pay Ms. DeCoster no attention, and this post is a good example why. Clearly knowing nothing about the discussion that is going on at the CC blog, oblivious to the actual politics of the people she labels as being “neoconservative” in their politics (a designation that is as laughable as it is wrong), she has the gall to talk trash about these people? It is libertarians like Ms. DeCoster who have always given and will always give libertarians a bad name in the eyes of us “self-described conservatives” who generally sympathise with much of their view of the world and get kicked in the face for our trouble all the same.

Note to aspiring fusionists: with friends like these, traditionalists don’t need enemies.
