Time for some Saturday night K-Lo bashing

I should really be doing something more interesting on a Saturday night but, well, here we are. Here's Kathryn Jean Lopez talking about inspiring politicians:

A born-again Christian woman who sat next to me on the plane from Chicago said the exact same thing to me. Bizarre in one sense — she clearly gets that from Christ, but Obama gives her some added kick.

We really need a pol on our side inspiring people. We're losing that contest.

The problem is that we do have politicians on the GOP side who can inspire people. You just never hear about them because people like K-Lo only push boring, generic, uninspiring politicians like Mitt Romney.

I'm also a little creeped out that she thinks we need an "inspiring" politician in the mold of Barack Obama. That's the last thing I want. We came close to a Messianic cult of personality with Ron "I see nothing wrong with advertising on Stormfront" Paul. It's not exactly something I want to recreate. It's tacky and leads to the type of unhinged apologetics we're seeing out of the Obama supporters. I know the point she was trying to make, I just think it was a clunky way of saying it.

1 The other one who was more populist than inspiring was Huckafuck. Do we really want to put someone up like that?

I admit I'd rather have a Reagan, but I'm not digging him up. That's S. Weasel's job....

2 That was my first reaction, hell, no, I do not want or expect my politicians to inspire me. I've read lots of history and know where that leads, kthnxsbai. And, yes, I do love Reagan but I view that as more Reagan urging us to inspire and act for ourselves.

K-Lo is becoming even more shrill. Which I did not think was possible.

3 And Reagan was fallible too. How was his amnesty giveaway conservative? They say he assumed that the laws would be enforced, but what conservative actually believes that the government will keep its word?

5 I'm thinking the perfect Christmas gift for K-Lo will be a razor to shave that 'stache...

You know, after jumping into reading blogs and seeing so many hot conservative women (hi ATC, ConBelle, AliceH!) like Malkin, Ingraham, Coulter (sorta..), it was a bit of a shock to see Ugly Betty KJL.

It's been bizarre watching K-Lo over the last couple of years, contorting conservativism in order to make Romney seem like the perfect candidate. What is it that she ever saw in him? He wouldn't make an awful President, but there's nothing incredibly moving and inspiring in him. And barely anything conservative in his ideology.
