Instapundit Swats Sullivan For "Constant Complaints About Theocracy"

And that's about as sharp a rebuke as Instapundit gives out, so it should hopefully have some impact:

I do think, though, that Andrew's constant complaints about theocracy aren't helping and indeed make even his valid points less persuasive. Andrew did a wonderful job of convincing undecideds -- and even some decided-againsts -- to think positively of gay rights and gay marriage, but lately his tone has been such that I doubt it's winning many converts.

He goes on to note that, while he himself supports gay marriage, it's a minority position in the country as of yet.

He does not, however, chide Sullivan that "there's a war on."

Retiring the Acronym Update: "HWWNBN" is too confusing and it's annoying to write out.

Ridicule hasn't worked. Maybe a rebuke from Traffic Santa will do some good.

But let's not hold our breath. It's really embarassing when you turn blue and fall over.

I think the whole anti-theocracy is seen by many to be overblown. The left seems to excel at constantly hitting points that their faithful already believe but everyone else (including moderates) thinks is retarded.

Bring it on, I'm sure everyone will be interested in voting for the crazies that are foaming at the mouth.

They've started shouting "theocracy" almost as much as "neocon"

If anyone thinks this country could actually be a "theocracy" then they are a @#$%ing idiot

HWWNBN, Today:

This isn't just about gays, although we've felt the sting of the movement more acutely than most. It's about science, stem cell research, the teaching of evolution, free access to medical prescriptions, the legality of living wills, abortion rights, censorship of cable and network television, and so on. The Schiavo case woke a lot of people up. I was already an insomniac on these issues.
Wow. I remember when HWWBN was a conservative.

Before the sudden switch that was not at all about gay marriage, he was against stem cell research, and it was one of the best pieces he'd ever written.

Dianna: the only thing Glenn could do to discourage HWMNBL is to start slinking him.

Not likely, unfortunately. Though he did do it to OChub.
