Well, I said I’d do it if Palin didn’t run and that day has arrived. All the naysayers were right and I was WRONG. Totally, completely, 100% grade A wrong. I either misread the whole shebang from the word go or something changed along the way. Doesn’t matter either way, the end result is the same. Serve up the crow PDS posse, I is a hungry little boy!
Of course what exactly have you won? 1000+ posts into this thread, most of the PDSers came out and took their shots (as if months of shots already taken weren’t enough to sate them. And Carling, as is his want, even continues tweaking JR.
I really shouldn’t be surprised because the PDS crew is now claiming that Palin’s defenders abused them terribly. Boo freaking hoo.
As as my wont, I recommend readers of this thread go back through their posts, view their past comments on SP and her supporters, and see for themselves just how ‘innocent’ the victims really are.
That said, I have greatly enjoyed fighting the good fight alongside many of you. Windflier, Lakeshark, Little Jeremiah, The Old Lady, Glock Rocks, Gov Bean Counter, Springfeild Reformer, Onyx and many others. You are all very good people who unlike an unfortunately large number on FR, believe in the things you say and believe in what conservatism and America should be.
As for myself, I have no intention of removing the “Cult of Palin” tagline from my sig. I have said in prior posts that if the day came she chose not to run, life would go on and I will support the next best candidate. Right now that appears to be Cain.
That said, I think Palin will continue to play an important role doing the very things she has been because she does inspire people and most importantly to me, stands for the things I believe in. While I wish she was going to stand for them in the Oval office, I accept that it won’t be happening so I will continue to support her in the ways she chooses to do so.
Lastly, as a couple of you know, I began posting on FR again after a long absence for one reason. I was sick to death of Pissant and his/others BS attacks on Palin. We all have our own ‘pet projects’. This is mine. Unfortunately FR is still filled with cheap shot artists who spout liberal talking points in attacking her as easily as they draw breath. Now that she has officially stated she will not run, and as this thread shows, PDS is alive and well.
Since Palin is going to be on the political scene indefinitely, I’m sure her detractors on FR will be ankle-biting her with renewed fervor for some time to come.
As “Chief Druid of the Cult of Palin” We pray to the Great Cat that if the anklebiting continues that he unleashes the Holy Amperage with great mercy and violence ;)
Kidding aside; To Jim Robinson, May you and FR continue to prosper to the benefit of us all. Because ‘Poop just got real.”
That was a good post. I will never understand why so many in our party didn’t do enough to defend her. It is sort of like the Neville Chamberlain thing. Feed the lion and hope he is not hungry enough to come after another conservative leader.
its sad and I don’t feel so good about our country right now. I want to be positive and im still looking for a reason to be positive. just not there tonight.
Your last line in it pretty much sums up what we face.
Norm, thank you for a well thought post. I posted my heart on another thread, and it isn’t as rational or thought out as yours was.
As much as I’d agree with you about Cain, I am afraid he will never see the inside of the Oval Office unless it’s on a tour. Not that he isn’t a good man and a fine American with some great ideas, because he is. However, Barry the Boob has forever poisoned the idea of a black man in the White House.
At it’s most base form, I can just see a couple of good ol’ boys, sitting on a porch somewhere, and one saying to the other “Ain’t no way in Hell we ever gonna let another n****r in the White House.” Crass, yes...but I’ll bet that’s the mindset of a LOT of people...and even in the hierarchy of the GOP.
Thank you for the kind words, Norm.
I only posted a couple times after getting the devastating news last night, and I stayed off every Palin thread, afterwards. Thankfully, I missed all of the crowing and gloating by the anti-Palin folks (although I did get a particularly nasty freepmail from one).
Alright friend. We’ll talk more later. I just can’t right now.
Excellent, Normie. Stay with me, honey.
As far as mea culpa’s go, that was OK, other than your little jab at me. As for questioning my “guts”, well, I think it’s obvious that I expressed my opinion quite clearly to Jim, and did not “tweak” him at all. A lot of posters lost my respect over the past two months, and you’re at the top of the list, Norm.
