Civilized conservative encounters the other kind

I had to sympathize with conservative columnist David Brooks when he was blind-sided on C-SPAN this morning by a call from a racist:

Gingrich disses Bush and the GOP, threatens to start third party

 The two things I like about Newt Gingrich are that he’s smarter than the typical conservative knuckle-dragger and that his never-ending quest for attention usually involves interesting (if not always sensible) ideas.
 The Newtster, who seems to be itching to run for president in 2012, is LAYING THE GROUNDWORK by dumping all over George W. Bush and threatening to start a third party if the Republicans don’t heed his advice.
 Give ‘em hell, Newt.
Horrors! Iowa goes gay! How much longer can traditional marriages here in Illinois survive?

 As any good, decent, God-fearing person will tell you, same-sex marriages pose a grave threat to the survival of traditional marriages.
 Don’t ask why or how, they just do. It says so in the Bible.
 There’s simply no way that the marriage of John and Mary Citizen can last if the two florists who live next door to them are legally wed. It’s a scientific fact.
 Here in the heartland, we’ve been more or less complacent as the evil of gay marriage has manifested itself elsewhere — mainly in coastal areas, where normal people are few and far between.
 But now the cancer has erupted in Iowa, of all places! Read THIS and weep! For the first time, same-sex marriage has been legalized in the Midwest. Soon, this plague will infect even the South, where wholesome values heretofore have reigned supreme.
 America is doomed. You can kiss your spouse goodbye. Your marriage doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell (appropriate metaphor, right?) of surviving.
 Inevitably, pro-creation of the human race will fade away, and your grandchildren — or their grandchildren — will be among the last of our species to walk the Earth.
 It says so in the Bible.
