Wow!
Okay, since you asked...
I recently ended my monthly contribution to the GOP after the immediate post-election sell-out. This was after resuming monthly contributions during the last campaign season. Why did I end it before? When Palin was getting attacked from all sides for a multiple assassination in AZ ,NO elected republican came to her defense.
Also during the last campaign, I was on the phones doing the get out the vote campaign for the GOP, and working with local candidates to formulate the message to reach minorities who are also fed up with the Commies now running the GOP.
Now, if those creds don't go far enough, then here's more: For years, I've been watching folks on FR get sent off on any wild tangent the left comes up with, especially when it comes to issues of race. My main battle has been within the industry I work - the media, and how to keep Real Americans from falling for their tactics.
Yes, that's right - the big media. I operate from inside the belly of the beast. I've given inside info, pointers on what to do, what not to do, and what many on my colleagues really think.
Sidebar note: Please don't get the impression that I'm upset with you - I'm used to this. But I feel impassioned to say this because a) I'm still on holiday break and have time to write and b) because this silly thread has over 255 posts at the time I'm writing this (and I wonder how many posts were given to the recent release of Gitmo prisoners in violation of federal law). But I digress...
I've also been here for years working to convince my fellow freepers that when it comes to black folks, what you see on television is not the norm, but only the parts the media want you to see. But unfortunately, as much as we loathe the so-called MSM (Drudge, Limbaugh and Levin get better ratings than they do, but whatever), too many on this site fall for their crap and like it or not, take what they say as gospel.
Such as "Palin's kid standing on a dog is causing outrage on the left, and reason for a public discourse ..."
funny, last I checked on the left, This wasn't even Palin's kid.
jimjohn - OUT.
That was a tremendous reply! The likes of which I rarely see on FR anymore.
Your creds are impeccable and you are to be applauded and I do!
Operating from inside the belly of da Beast, you are more serious in your approach to posts on FR than I, and you must be to survive where you are.
I myself was vomited out of it more than a decade ago and have run as far from it as I can since then. (Totally lost my lifelong love affair with it even though I greatly liked what I used to do.)
My silly post has been rebutted and I’ve received a lot more besides. Thank you.
