Dear Sarah, You Don't Need a Title, You Do Need Power
Lipstick 2012 ^ | September 29, 2011 | Jeanette Pryor

Posted on 09/29/2011 4:57:12 AM PDT by Jeanette Pryor

On March 21, 2010, in opposition to more than 60% of Americans, Obamacare, precursor to Socialized Medicine and Tombstone of our free-market economy, passed in the U.S. House by seven votes. The bill reconciling the two versions passed the House at 11:58 PM that same awful day of anguish by only nine votes. It was not the titles of those seven and nine that pushed an unwilling America towards ruin, it was their power.

In 2009 Rick Santelli, gave voice to working-America’s rage. Since he first roused us to the New Boston Tea Party, great conservatives from New York to California rallied as never before and, reveling in their dearth of titles, set the country on fire, redirected the debate, and reasserted the first principles upon which our Nation was founded.

In spite of this unprecedented tsunami of opposition, on that day in March, Nancy Pelosi leeringly sashayed past thousands of protestors, clutching the gavel of power.

Our indignation mattered not. Our clever signs counted for naught. Our honored troops, flags, anthems, and rediscovered Constitution were powerless to stop that gavel from crushing We the People.

Instinctively, conservatives turned all their energy to November 2010. Republicans who leached a royal life off kick-backs, who had all but fossilized in their seats in House and Senate, crumbled in primaries that put all Washington on notice, “The Time of Pillaging is done.”

I’m not empathetic to your sidetracking threads

Go cry to Jim about it, the excerpt policy is his.

I’m generally rather annoyed by it.

And I'm annoyed by blogpimping. Ain't that a kick, how different things annoy different folks.

That’s his business isn’t it. If he wants to inform the poster so be it. I suppose he made you the classroom snitch or did your uppity nanny state mentality force you to sidetrack threads? Even a classroom snitch can go tell but leave the rest of the class alone.

someone does post a good article

If the article had actually been posted, you wouldn't be bogged down in this side discussion. Instead it was just a teaser and a link.

Why not post your agitprop on a different thread?

For Bumble gunners the greater cause must be bumping the thread; thanks!

All this childish grousing does have a good result FWIW; it bumps the thread far better than the article by itself normally would.

You’re welcome.

So, tell me:

Does any blogger using Palin’s name deserve hits?

What if they are just using the name to GET the hits?

You like that? Support it? Think it’s fine and good?

I’d rather the goody two shoes nanny staters would just stop playing better then thou or playground monitor and leave the thread to those who are interested in the subject of the thread. If they don’t like the way someone posts leave it alone and don’t bother the rest of us.

JP: Sorry you had to put up with all the crap on this thread. I read your full essay and it was a nice piece of writing. You made some excellent points and connections.

Thank you for posting it, and I had no problem clicking through, because the excerpt interested me.

And to the thread police: If FR doesn't want blog posts excerpted, why don't they put a notice on the posting page? Rules and regulations that appear out of nowhere are somewhat hard to follow.

Thank you for posting it

Heads up, she didn't post it. She excerpted it.

So if you don't like the way I post why don't you shut up about it?

She excerpted it.

Oh my god, you are single-handedly making FR a miserable place to visit. Is it your goal to make everyone else as miserable as you are?

Get help, man! Go outside. Take a walk. Adopt a puppy. Something, anything. Life is good!

You have become a rage machine spamming nearly every thread. What in the hell is the matter with you? Stop puking your misery all over the rest of us.

What is the point of policing FR for breakers of obscure rules or spelling/grammar infractions? What a colossal waste of time! And the rest of us have to swerve around you to participate in a discussion.

It is getting old, friend. Very old. I am sincerely concerned for you.

I agree with you. It’s tedious and childish.

Matter of opinion. Blogpimps detract from my enjoyment of FR.

Is it your goal to make everyone else as miserable as you are?

I'm in rather high spirits actually. Did I sound sad to you?

You have become a rage machine spamming nearly every thread.

Only those threads where bloggers excerpt their writing. Pay attention.

What in the hell is the matter with you?

Would you like an alphabetical list or one ordered by priority?

What is the point of policing FR for breakers of obscure rules or spelling/grammar infractions?

If you would like to help you are certainly welcome.

I am sincerely concerned for you.

No worries. I appreciate the concern though.

The folks that matter are already familiar with that list.

Might make a fun thread, though...

Not excerpted.

So what now, you gonna go tell your daddy.

It appears you have been overexposed to sensitivity training and the liberal thinking process, get over it!

Final Voice indeed, go ahead run to your daddy, maybe he’ll kiss it and make it all better for ya, I kinda doubt it though.
