“Now if only she would say the same things in public.”

Looks like she did! She gave a speech to 1100 people . Just how “public” does it have to be?

Even though it would end her career it would be cool if she said it on 60 Minutes right after the foosball game.

Knowing the way things work here I suspected that she would be held as a hero because of what she said. Just wanted to make sure everyone knew the truth. She also took a hit on FR when that first happened back in 08 (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2160882/posts).

Hero? She had an epiphany, and now she has a clue. That doesn’t qualify her for any laurels just yet.

Leaving for another time, of course, the discussion of why we should discount what she said because of what she did. /s

She no longer wants to take one for the team. Amazing how reality turns one conservative real fast.

I’ll take her opinion, as an experienced war correspondent, over yours anyday.

‘Nuff said.

I expect that once a woman is raped by Muslims, which she was, it serves to clarify one’s thinking process.

Logan knows what the American and European elite’s politically correct delusion will produce for Americans and the world. Guts ripped out by pure savages...

Didn’t say I disagreed with her opinion. Just wanted to head off her getting any laurals here. Also, returned from over there not too long ago so sit down and be quiet.

‘Nuff Said (as sarcastically as I can.)
