Bring this understanding into your heart and express it with your wife. She will take it in and nurture it until she understands.
You both make good points about the zeal of certain SP supporters; shouting down other candidates’ supporters or the all-or-nothing threat does indeed strike me as intolerant or cultish. (Picture Angry Muslim Boy).
I believe in defending your candidate if attacked, but not by slamming others.
I enjoy the discourse here. That’s why I’m not at a strictly Palin-oriented or strictly Christian site.
It can be a tough crowd at FR, but the tough part should be in advocating positions or candidates, not excoriating people personally. (Though a little jab now and then makes us tougher!)
“Don’t let the early voters cast your ballot for you.” Best thing I’ve heard in awhile! Now is the time to be active and advocate. Just a hint in the wind today that SP may be overcoming the MSM slam-job- you probably saw it earlier today in the NY Times of all places: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/10/us/10iht-currents10.html?_r=1&scp=2&sq=Palin&st=nyt Polls are for strippers and downhill racers. Keep up the great work!
It was the first Tea Party event I’d been to.
I was quite inspired and impressed. No one since Jesus has been perfect, but every once and awhile God raises up a leader.
You saw it.
Something inside them fears and trembles...
Their reaction is most visceral.
That’s what FR is for! We should advocate and argue, but not denigrate or eviscerate each other.
Haven’t seen a candidate I feel more in touch with since Ronald Reagan. I believe she could be just as good as him in her own way. The rest are just politicians but she’s special. This country will not be same if she doesn’t become our next president. You can call me whatever you want to but I’ll go down with this ship.
LOL!
I grew up fearing the Reds; the Red Star, the red sickle and hammer and the Red Chinese.
Now I’m Red, a redneck and live in a Red State.
Confusing at times
When you see the real thing come along you recognize it! Age helps, and I was lucky enough to have been around to vote for RR and enjoy some prosperous years where we felt good about the USA.
I wasn’t old enough to draft for Viet Nam; my dad was there and between that and Watergate the country was pretty demoralized. Enter Carter and the weakness everyone saw during the Iranian hostage crisis.
When the hostages were released Day 1 of RR, we knew that we
were back on track!
I see alot of similarities here. You may only see it a few times in a lifetime.
