And thou shalt smite thine enemy even unto the wall, gnashing thy teeth, and he shall grow small in thy mirrors.
THE NEWSPAPER that almost missed the war in Iraq because its reporters were in Georgia covering the membership policies of the Augusta National Golf Club has declared another one of President George Bush's judicial nominees as "out of the mainstream." The New York Times has proclaimed so many Bush nominees "out of the mainstream" that the editorial calling California Supreme Court Justice Janice Rogers Brown "out of the mainstream" was literally titled: "Out of the Mainstream, Again."
- Opposition to partial-birth abortion – opposed by 70 percent of the American people – is "out of the mainstream."
- Support for
the death penalty – supported by 70 percent of the American people – is
"out of the mainstream."
- Opposition to government-sanctioned race discrimination – which voters in the largest state in the nation put on an initiative titled Proposition 209 and enacted into law – is "out of the mainstream."
- Opposition to gay marriage – opposed by 60 percent of the American people – is "out of the mainstream."
- Failing to recognize that totally nude dancing is "speech" is "out of the mainstream."
- Questioning whether gay Scoutmasters should be taking 14-year-old boys on overnight sleepovers in the woods is "out of the mainstream."
St. Ann of the CoultersI guess if your "mainstream" includes Roman Polanski, Michael Moore, Howard Dean and Jacques Chirac, then Brown really is "out of the mainstream." This proverbial "stream" they're constantly referring to is evidently located somewhere in France.
Liberals are always complaining that they haven't figured out how to distill their message to slogans and bumper stickers – as they allege Republicans have. Though it can't be easy to fit the entire Communist Manifesto on a bumper sticker, I beg to differ. (Bumper sticker version of the current Democratic platform: "Ask me about how I'm going to raise your taxes.")
The problem is, if Democrats ever dared speak coherently, the American people would lynch them ...

The NYT writes only for its ever-shrinking left-wing subscriber list. The rest of America can go to hell.
To the NYT if you are not a subscriber, you are out of the mainstream.
Hmmm, are you really implying that homosexuality has anything to do with pedophilia? Seems to me that 90% of child molesters are middle-aged straight men. But regardless, I don't think you really believe that.
I can agree that grownups who like spending lots of free time in the woods with children are weird. I also remember during my one week of boy scouts that I thought they all--the kids and the parents (all of them fathers and presumably straight) were a little creepy.
But the boy scouts' position on gays has never been about pedophilia--even they don't say that (officially, anyway). They just think homosexuality is inconsistent with their "god and country" credo.
Try to be more careful. All the gay men I know are interested in big muscled grown-ups, not kids.
All pedophilias that molest little girls are heterosexual.
All pedophilias that molest little boys are homosexual.
In the last few years, the Boy Scouts have become concerned about pedophilia. The Boy Scouts do not allow an adult to be alone with a boy. If a leader has to talk to a boy privately, there must be two adults in the room.
If you know Ann Coulter at all, you know that's her way of bitch slapping PC a-holes on a mission to destroy the scouts over James Dale. As for me, I stand with my pal, Big Gay Al, who agreed that the scouts had that right.
