That much being conceded, however: her comment was still a profoundly, jaw-droppingly ignorant one, and would not have seemed even the slightest bit out of place on any DU or Kos thread, picked at random.
As Jim has stated, repeatedly: this is a conservative site, NOT a Republican one -- PRO-life, and ANTI-gay "marriage." Jim, to his credit, has never once waffled or obfuscated on these points
Folks as desperately unhappy and/or uncomfortable with these simple, baseline facts as Howlin's quote makes her seem to be are in the wrong forum. The more intelligent and mature ones, realizing this, will seek out (presumably) sunnier climes on their own; the remainder, Jim's just gonna have to wish into the proverbial cyber-cornfield.
Quite frankly, I’m HAPPY to see most of the harpies go, and they ARE “harpies”. Let them have their own forum since they can’t “rule” here anymore.
I’m just sorry that it’s come to this...where my “friend” doesn’t feel comfortable “talking” to me.
That is my only regret. But, I will live with it.
Howlin’s comment was just exactly as you said...jaw dropping. But, it was also very enlightening into her mindset, politically speaking.

VERY well said!
Good post. Time for me to hit the hay.
