The witless Red County Kool Aid Drinker “Christian Milord”
A humorless Republican named “Christian Milord” (no I did not make that name up) attacked Steven Greenhut today in a rebuttal printed by the O.C. Register. Milord claims to be a teacher in Fullerton, but his rebuttal is unbelievably lame I hope he is not teaching any of your children!
Milord attacks Greenhut for a number of perceived slights, including Greenhut’s characterization of Sarah Palin, the failed GOP vice presidential nominee who recently quit as Governor of Alaska, as an “empty vessel.” How Milord can stomach defending Palin is a mystery to me. Greenhut was absolutely right about that!
Milord goes on to slam Greenhut for “spending too much time finding fault with the GOP, instead of recognizing the great policy positions and traditions of the party since 1854.”
Listen Milord, your Red County publisher, Chip Hanlon, picked this fight with Greenhut! Hanlon attacked Greenhut for being anti-war. Hanlon did not stop there. He also attacked and defamed Ron Paul, the popular Libertarian-leaning Republican Congressman who ran for President last year. This was a battle that Hanlon could not win.
Milord echoes Hanlon’s vapidity by writing that “The federal government has the primary duty to defend our liberties and protect Americans from domestic and foreign enemies.” Does that include starting a stupid war in Iraq that cost us trillions? Greenhut is right to question that waste of money – and to question U.S. militarization in general.
Milord continues with this nugget, “instead of noting the accomplishments of the Libertarian Party, Greenhut expends excessive energy bashing “fanatics” in the GOP.” Can you blame Greenhut for responding in kind after Hanlon ripped Libertarians for supposedly being fanatics? All Greenhut did was prove that there are just as many nutty Republicans. Just look at all the red-faced types who are questioning President Obama’s birthplace instead of focusing his plans to socialize our government?
Milord closes with this sentiment, “Instead of railing against the GOP of the past, Greenhut ought to find points of agreement between the GOP and the Libertarian Party, and then go from there.”
Excuse me Milord, but it was Hanlon who fired the first volley – and who made it clear that you redcoats don’t want freedom-loving Libertarians in your party. I agree – we should NOT be Republicans. The GOP is a dying party – and it is Republicans like Milord and Hanlon who are serving as its pallbearers.
Damn. Too bad we can’t see that lime green polyester leisure suit he’s wearing.
David,
You know it! The poor guy is caught in a time warp…
Now I know where I’ve seen this guy before. He was my PE teacher at El Roble Jr. High back in 1973!
“The federal government has the primary duty to defend our liberties and protect Americans from domestic and foreign enemies.”
Except Republicans are far too interested in using the apparatus of the federal government to limit everyone’s civil liberties (and spy on them) while pursuing these ‘domestic and foreign enemies’.
It gets better and better…
Here is Milord, writing in the Register from 2005, denying that teachers are part of a special interest and calling for more funding and attacking the Register for criticizing public schools.

Doesn’t Red County usually attack public education and teachers unions?
It looks like they have a red-faced hypocrite in their midst!
Art – great catch. So now we know all we need to about this stooge. Only for years ago he’s denying that their a special education interest. How do you think the Chip and Buffy are going to deal with this?
Oops. Sorry for all the misspellings. In a hurry. Ciao!
David,
LOL! My guess is ole’ Chip and his pal Jerbal are going to wig out. Too bad. They and their blog are a joke. But as long as they keep making money by promoting their candidates on their blog for money, I suppose they will keep on hacking away…
David,
Check out this Milord excerpt:
Unions are imperfect like any organization, and I disagree with some of their tactics, but on balance they have done positive things for our society. Instead of singling out unions, Anderson, the governor and the Register ought to blame excessive government regulation, spending and waste for the state’s deficit problem.
And here is another Milord article, http://www.dailytitan.com/2.3905/in-time-of-war-bush-man-of-action-kerry-of-nuance-1.1208293.
This one is a doozy. Here are a few excerpts:
In the 2004 campaign, Bush is already known as a resolute wartime leader, and he’s implemented sound fiscal policies.
Bush has “worked to create a climate more conducive to business and employment growth.”
Most Americans connect with action-oriented plain speakers with a vision such as Truman, Reagan and Bush.
Oy vey! Milord is a major Bush hack!
They’re all major Bush hacks. They praise him for being a “wartime leader” (he wasn’t)in an unnecessary war he started that has helped bankrupt the nation. Hooray!
hey zenger did you come from the berkley school of hacks . spying on people . WHO DO YOU THINK GETS SPIED on terrorist . or people who they HIGHLY THINK ARE DEALING WITH THEM . IT cracks me up with all the bush haters always having a cow about this . when they find terrorist with this method do you go well done . or do you shake your fist and yell . here they go again TRESSPASSING on our rights . oh and by the way your boy nobama is b/k this country . horray “””””
Sorry to disappoint you so many times grate one; obama is not my “boy” (nice racist insertion, by the way). I did not vote for Obama, although many of the people who did were sick of the way your hero, the supposedly conservative jackass Bush trashed the budget and the Constitution.
I don’t hate Bush. But I do hate just about everything he did in his pathetic, illiterate, incomprehensible eight years misrule as a “neo-con” puppet.
And I never even mentioned “spying.” Your reading comprehension is almost as bad as your reasoning skills and your grammar. Off you go now, nap time.
insane zenger you listed in post 4 . i love how you lefties just how much your hatred comes out like this guy murdered someone . so get your eyes check . and if you call obama nobama your a racist . here we go again. im sure you are on the professers side . go back to berkeley and join all the other haters up there .
GREATONE:
I completely agree with you if we could just do something about that pesky constition, especially that silly Fourth Ammendment and all that silly garbage about probable cause.
And while were on the subject of Moral Certainty……..NEVERMIND, you guys just don’t get it. PLAY BY THE RULES AND WIN THE GAME; Cheat and lose.
Sorry I meant “Pesky Constitution” and Amendment. I am watching a classic GOP crime thriller with the kids: Shark Boy and Lava Girl.
#4 was somebody else you moron.
Don’t confuse libertarians with liberals: that just betrays your complete indoctrination by jackholes like Rush Limburg. Calling a black man “boy” is pretty racist but then to you it’s all in a day’s work.
And please have some one explain the the shift key to you so you don’t appear quite so illiterate.
their is your i am holy than thou better than you attitude by the far left .
I am not holier than you you microbial cretin, but I am a million times smarter.
ohhhhzenger i am going to loose sleep over that one zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
“Instead of finding common ground between libertarians and Republicans, he seeks to generate a sharper divide that will be unhelpful in defeating the gargantuan nanny-state agenda of the Democrats”.
Huh? Hanlon started it. Hook, line and sinker. Greenhut just made a flippant comment that turned Hanlon’s afterburners into a focused political party attack with all the screaching shills following directly behind him. Just because of a single individual’s comment. Not very helpful at all to their cause.
And then this: “but the GOP is a big tent” Sounds like a Hanlon post a few days back. I’m thinkin’ this guy might be a tool. Oh well. I think those guys over there just need to chill.
“Hanlon started it.”
That’s the “huh?” comment. have you not been reading Greenhut for the last, oh, two years? He’s constantly crapping on Republicans with sloppy , shrill arguments.
Greenhut has been starting this fracas, and the minute a conservative steps up to answer back, he and his brown-nosers here come unglued. If that strain of libertarian can’t take the intellectual heat, they should get out of the kitchen debate.
