“Logic is not your best suit lol.”
Really. Then why don’t you explain the comment “You’re in the minority”. Is there something dirty or sinful about holding a minority opinion? Is that a veiled threat that if one doesn’t “get with the program” that you will see to it they are hounded off FR or banned?
FR was founded and flourished because people held a “minority” opinion about politics and politicians. That you and others now view it as some kind of glee club where we must all sing the same tune or be kicked out is disturbing.
If anyone has joined the ranks of the hard left and Alinskey in terms of political tactics (ie crushing opposing viewpoints with despicable personal attacks and the ruthless sliming of one’s reputation) it’s the PMS crowd.
I see little difference between Obama worshippers and Palin worshippers in terms of MO except one is on the left and one on the right. If our goal is to elect a Prez who will reverse this lurch to the left in America we need to do it with eyes wide open, acknowledging the shortcomings of the candidates and being able to see the potholes down the road.
Doing less is a recipe for disaster but that is exactly what Palin’s most ardent supporters are demanding we do.
IMO opinion the greatest threat to achieving a conservative ascendancy in America are PMS’ers who demand we shut our eyes, shut our mouths and lip sync to a tune that has little chance of reverberating enough with a majority of the voters to lead us to victory in 2012.
“To: Bob J
I love Palin’s conservatism and patriotism! She may very well support McCain out of loyalty and I have no problem with that. And I have no problem with whom she supports with her PAC. There is nothing written that says she has to do everything (or anything at all) according to JIM.
Sarah is unabashedly pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Liberty, pro-family, pro-America, pro-constitution, pro-gun, pro-limited government and so am I. And she’s wildly popular among the God-loving, Liberty-loving folks with whom I choose to associate. In short, she’s a refreshing breath of clean fresh air in an otherwise putrid failure of a RINO infested party.
She represents my interests better than any other viable wannabe at this point and if she decides to run, she will have my undivided support!!
Romney, the draft-dodging, Big Government, lying statist political whore can KMA!!
And your picture does say a 1,000 words, but Bob, unfortunately they’re all about YOU and political whores like you and the results and likely outcome of your slavish, cultish RINOism!!
So you can shove your picture and your RINOs where the sun don’t shine.
Sarah has more guts, talent, ability, patriotism, and sheer determination and love for America and our God-given Liberty than you and Romney and a thousand other RINOS will ever have!
It’s been more than obvious for several years that our pro-Life & Liberty Free Republic has become an embarrassment for you, so why the hell don’t you just take a fricken hike already!!
Shove it, pal.
GET THE HELL OFF FR if you don’t like it, but whatever you do quit your damn whining and pestering good conservative FReepers about your hatred for Sarah Palin!! It’s beyond sickening.

BRAVO. Much wisdom here. You agree with George Washington when he warned in his farewell address against blind worship at the feet of politicians and parties....
"Let me warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally....
The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.
Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight), the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it."
