I was wrong, and I admit it

To the editor:

Back in 2008, right at the peak of the McCain/Palin, Obama/Biden presidential election, I wrote a scathing opinion to the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman about Sarah Palin (titled “Caribou Barbie”), and five years later, I would like to recant my opinion and tell the people of the Mat-Su Valley just how wrong I was at the time.

The Frontiersman published the opinion and it drew a lot of comments, mostly negative, and here we are almost five years later, and I want to pass on what I have learned.

In closing, Sarah Palin warned us, and that is irrefutable. But I have learned from it the hard way. Instead of “forward,” which is the current battle cry, it seems that “backward” is the new norm. I shudder to think what this country will be like in the next four years.

Yes, Sarah warned us, and some listened. I don’t agree with her all the time, but what is intriguing is that she somehow knew. How, I ask? Not sure, but she knew, and that is fact. Maybe I should have listened.

Why would I want to to that? Then I would be writing stupid things like...

“What a pathetic apology. He was wrong about what? What did Palin correctly predict?”

I’m just yanking your chain because you make it so easy.

Actually, I knew what he was talking about without even clicking on the link. I’m smart that way.

Are you a Palin hater?

Ping: Someone woke up.

America will be lucky to survive Obama.

Rooster sucking traitors like Boehner are making it much worse.

Maybe. It isn’t easy admitting a public error. But you made a good effort.

Do you know if they ever found out who torched Palin’s church?

...what is intriguing is that she somehow knew. How, I ask? Not sure, but she knew,...

Maybe she did 30 minutes of research of available information on the internet like a lot of us here did.

No, I don't live in the Mat-Su area so I don't follow the news from there. I just happened to stumble on this editorial letter when looking for something else.

I was thinking this today.

When (not if) those around me who voted proudly for Obama tell me I was right.

I’m simply going to say, “don’t talk to me” and turn away in disgust.

what I want to know is how Sarah does it without sounding bitter and mean

Sarah is far from being perfect, but she is a Christian who appears to be closer than many of us.

[hattend]

You sound like me except I will add some expletives as I turn.

Hey Charles, too little and extremely late. We are on life support now and the left has their fingers on the plug. I’m sure Sarah cares a wit about your appology. She was everyone’s punching bag for years now. We have always thought she was a sharp cookie.

Thank you for clearing that up

I said, ">>I agree with you. Whomever Charles Fredericks is he doesn’t seem to express himself very well. I have no idea what he is trying to say.<<

ILS21R said, "Another 1998 who can’t read. Simply amazing."

You are far better person that I
Please don't take the rest of the old timer freepers down because of my stupidity and ignorance.

[ILS21R]

Well... now that it’s all cleared up for you, I’m sure you will agree that Charles Fredericks’ apology was in order.

[Steve Van Doorn]

All I know is you are far better person that I. I am worthless scum in your presence. This is all that matters

[ILS21R]

>>All I know is you are far better person that I...<<

Don’t fret, you’re in good company. Palin hater.

“This piece of crap marxist Obama has stolen the election and along with the democrat party wants to take away our freedom....Sarah Palin , you going to run , ball’s in your court?”....

Your correct....The piece of crap marxist DID steal the election....So what would keep him from stealing it from HER?.....If she were to even contemplate running she is bright enough to know the elections are fraudulent now.....
