Not everyone who calls themselves "conservative" is one. In my book, not even those who've made the ranks of Town Hall columnists necessarily qualify. (For example, see the Vital Signs Posts warning about Kathleen Parker's and Burt Prelutsky's acceptance of abortion.)
Since then Parker has found time to insist Sarah Palin get off the G.O.P. ticket, bark at America's criminal penalties regarding marijuana, and snidely suggest that the Obama family values were healthier than those of Christians working to preserve marriage.
Wrote Parker,
You want Ward Cleaver? Meet Barack Obama. Michelle is June Cleaver with a law degree. Family values don't get more traditional than those of the Obamas, who ooze marital bliss and whose adorable daughters make feminist cynics want to bake cookies and learn to smock.
Though we may perish of boredom, the Obamas may do more to elevate the American family than all the pro-marriage initiatives conceived by those who claim to speak for the deity...
Well, Ms. Parker is at it again -- this time castigating Dittoheads who dare criticize the leftist bias of the mainstream media.
You might want to keep Kathleen Parker in mind the next time you get one of those Town Hall requests for financial support.
