Mrs. Parker (I hope that doesn’t offend your sensibilities – from the tone of your writing, one might conclude that you are into the Democratic tendency of political correctness, you know), I am curious as to why you believe that evangelical Christians are the cause of the Republican party’s demise.  I strongly disagree with you; the true demise of the Republican party will be because they are currently acting (not thinking, mind you), spending and sounding like Democrats. A party made up of Repubocrats (more commonly referred to as Democrat-lite, I think) is not going to gain any converts from the Democratic party (why go for the lite stuff when you can have the real thing?) and they are going to lose conservatives regardless of their religious affiliation. I also am curious as to why you so thoroughly denigrate conservative evangelical Christians. Let me see: oogedy-boogedy, relegated to wooden crates on street corners, low-brow (no, wait! lowest-brow), etc.  Could you not have made your point without being so trite and demeaning? It’s amazing that in all your accolades received for writing, no one told you about politeness – but, hey, that belongs to the “Depends” generation, I suppose and doesn’t have enough zeitgeist for the current generation. I also thoroughly enjoyed your enlightening statement “Belief in something greater than oneself has much to recommend it, including most of the world's architectural treasures, our universities and even our founding documents.”  I can’t imagine a greater reason for believing in God (this, by the way, is known as sarcasm) than some really good architecture. And we have seen where our universities have gone since giving up on God, haven’t we? What is your real agenda here? That you don’t believe in actual conservatism? That you secretly enjoy the lies, half-truths and distortions of the Democrats? That you believe in pandering to the diversity crowd or believe in identity politics? I’m not sure what (if any) religious belief you may have; I won’t even begin to guess. I might disagree with whatever it is but I doubt seriously that I would publicly attempt to make a spectacle of whatever it is that you do believe. Since I am surely one of those low-brow, Bible-thumpin’, ignorant, bumpkins that should be relegated to a street corner on a crate, I think I will most gladly leave you and the Repubocrat party to wither and die. I think you will find that you might not do as well without us as you think. Speaking of praying for God to send Palin through a door, perhaps we should pray for you to go through a door as well. Well, much as I would like to see your column dumped from Townhall, I won’t pray for it (although I might openly rejoice should it happen – shame on me). I do wish I could end this by saying “Respectfully” but right now I find nothing in your words and thoughts that deserve respect.
