The Arctic Fox and the Iron Lady: Palin to meet with Thatcher?
TheCypressTimes.com ^ | 06/14/2010 | Gary P.

But, as it happens, I know Margaret Thatcher. Margaret Thatcher is a friend of mine. And as a matter of fact, Margaret Thatcher and Sarah Palin have a great deal in common.

~ John O’Sullivan

According to a report by the notoriously left wing UK Mail Online, Sarah Palin will visit Margaret Thatcher in the near future. They report this like it is some sort of photo op, the kind of thing that only a shallow person, like say, Barack Obama, would try and pull off.

In reality, if this meeting happens, it will be the event of a lifetime for all of those involved. Think about it, along with the great Ronald Reagan, Maggie Thatcher was part of the conservative leadership that won the Cold War. Like Reagan, Thatcher understood the meaning of “peace through strength.” as does Sarah Palin.

Very curious.

If it happens it’s not a photo op. It’s a pilgrimage.

Arctic Fox? Neat! But I still smile when I hear “Caribou Barbie”.

Like Reagan, unfortunately, Margaret Thatcher is suffering from Alzheimer's.

Let me address your curiosity for the umpteenth time.

This is my area’s local Christian Conservative newspaper - it is based near my home.

I know the owners - they do this free - no check that - they lose money doing this. It is a ministry to them. I post here because I hope they gain more readers and more exposure. I know they’re working themselves silly on this and have for over two years - while holding down full-time jobs, and raising two children. I can tell you that with only one exception (YOU) every comment I get from my postings here are positive.

I think Freepers appreciate a Christian, Conservative online newspaper that combines local, state, national and international news. I get nothing from this, and they (the papers owners) get nothing either. Again - they lose money.

EITHER WAY...why is it any skin off your nose? You can post anything you want in any manner you wish and I assure you I will never ever lose sleep over it. Why do you obsess over what I post? Is it that you are emboldened by the anonymous nature of the internet?

Why do you excerpt? Why not post the entire content?

So you admit it's a monetized business and that you profit by
excerpting and causing people to visit that site for the content?

Let me try:

..Because it’s easier than copying the whole thing? And taking up screen space on the FR thread?

Lots of people excerpt because it’s too long.

Interesting.

Lots of ads there. Are you saying they are there just for fun?

When you FAIL to post the whole content, you divert traffic to that site.

Why? Why oh Why? Are you pimping that site?

If not, why do you not post the whole content?

Prove me wrong. Post the whole content. Or are you a blogpimp?

'Fess up.

Fail.

Copying is a mouse-over operation. Three words are as easy as three hundred.

And taking up screen space on the FR thread?

Total bull. Clicking over to a lame blog and seeing the
content eats up the same screen space as posting it here.

Lots of people excerpt because it’s too long.

And some do it because they are scabby blog pimps.

Why are you busting on someone for posting an article? Maybe it’s excerpted because the article has live links in it that serve as reference points and they don’t show up in the original posting. BTW,thanks for posting it this way. It’s nice to have a “paper” that isn’t tainted with liberalism.

I object to excerpting for no reason other than to get blog hits.

No, this pimp only wants hits to this lame-ass blog.

Wouldn't you rather click on this thread and read the whole content
rather than having to read a teaser and then click to somewhere else?
