WOW, Your fire (thread) is still burning. And Bob J is back from another time out #3, ready to jump right in with gasoline in hand.
Bob J, Are you the Freeper with 9 lives? Like a moth to a flame you cant resist.
I will say this in parting, I’ve always been consistent on these threads. I like Palin and hope she continues to be a voice for conservatism ala Ann Couter. I do not think she is ready to be president at this time but that can always change in the future. I think it is dangerous to engage in messiah worship of ANY political figure as it leads to a tendancy to excuse words and actions that stray from the central conservative philosophy we all hold dear, and I think we have seen a good example of this very thing with the Alaska size fig leaf her most ardent supporters are covering her with regarding the McCain support.
The second most dangerous action we can engage in when selecting our leaders is to misrepresent, spin or outright fabricate records and history. Palin did some good in the Governor’s chair but there are a lot of warts and mud in her time there and in Wasila.
Closing one’s eyes to facts and truth does not lead to insight, only blindness.
BTW - My intent never was, nor is it now to throw gasoline on any discussion. At times my comments have been satirical and even sarcastic but those were in response to over the top rhetoric, hyperbole and misinformation from my debate opponents.
Only through reasoned analysis and discussion of the truth will we be able to arrive at informed opinions upon which we can act in a reasonable, constitutional and democratic fashion.
