Laigle’s Forum: The Boredom Stops Here!

The web is awash with conservative save-America blogs and the radio waves are saturated with “conservative” talk radio.

Yet, politically, America just keeps moving further and further to the Left.

Why is that?

Let me tell you what I think:

It’s not the drive-by media. It’s not the surgically modified perky-eyed twins Nancy and Hillary. And it’s not even Teddy Kennedy or Harry Reid.

No. It’s us conservatives.

We are the enemy.

We are the enemy because we, frankly, are no longer conservative. We don’t know what that means any more. We the People have bought the liberal lie that there are no absolutes. So there is no right and wrong. Therefore, a “conservative” president can sell you amnesty for lawbreakers, convince you it’s good for you and make you think you are an incompassionate bigot if you disagree. And he can show you by example that compromising with evil America-hating politicians is the Christian thing to do.

An elected official whom we voted for redefines conservatism and we buy it. We can’t have been wrong, can we? Border security = bigotry. Hey, that works.

Your Baloney Stops Here Too, Bill!

By contrast, Laigle’s Forum believes that the tail cannot wag the dog. We believe that conservatism hasn’t changed one iota but that some people who pretend to be conservative simply aren’t. Period.

And although that is nothing but good old fashioned common sense, it is a really rare commodity today.

Which is why neocons Hannity, Rush and O’Reilly have become such insufferable bores these days. Admit it. Just tune in to Hannity’s radio show and listen to the interminable mind-numbing: “You’re a great American,” “You’re a great American” repeated ad nauseam to total strangers who could be axe murderers for all Sean knows and cares. Or let O’Reilly counsel you on how free market principles are obsolete now that gas prices are rising, mandating the imposition of socialist price controls.

Web sites wholly supported by donations have to soft pedal too, because they owe something to this group or that group and can’t afford to step on all the toes. Example: the conservative group Truth in Media recently sent out an alert to its members complaining about Harry Reid and Ted Kennedy’s amnesty scam. Oh, they were right all right. It is a scam, no doubt about it. But it is NOT attributable solely to Democrats. Not by a long shot. Without wishy-washy Republicans like Lindsey Graham, who went on record accusing 70% of Americans of being bigots, and without the herds of RINOs like “Benedict” Arlen Specter and Sen. Yawn McCain, these gosh-awful scams would never even reach the Senate floor for discussion, and yet “Truth in Media” and other “conservative” media give these folks a pass. I think that’s because they owe them something.

Laigle’s Forum owes no one anything (and we guarantee never to put ourselves in a position of owing some politician or interest group anything), so we eventually get around to stepping on all the toes. After all, that is the job of a free press. Remember?

That’s one reason we can guarantee we will not bore you.

But another is that you never know what you might read at Laigle’s forum. Just when you think you can predict our next turn, off we go in the opposite direction.

Much of the stuff is deadly serious. Like our column Pedophiles Now a Protected Group, which drew a then-record number of readers for us. This article warns of the dangers of “hate” crime legislation and points out that dangerous people we have always considered criminals are now protected.

Or the column Naming Jesus Is Ok, as Long as You’re Cursing, which illustrates to a “T” how our culture has been turned precisely on its head.

Other columns are designed to titillate your funnybone, like My Virtual Donation to the McCain Campaign. 

I know I’ll probably catch some serious flack for saying this, but I can’t help but think of myself as a kind of male Anne Coulter: outrageous best describes my stuff. The all-time biggest hit A Homophobe Comes Out: Free at Last! actually wound up translated into Romanian and posted on a site in Romania. I have no idea by whom. Our stuff gets reposted in the darnedest places.

What I am trying to say is: Stop on over at http://laiglesforum.com/ and check us out. You will either love us or hate us. But we absolutely guarantee you won’t be bored. If you are, we will return every single penny you paid to visit our site!

Oh, and here’s the best part: It’s free of charge.

(BTW, the subscription option is at the bottom right column under the calendar in case you feel brave).
