I don't read your supposed pro-Palin bi-weekly newsletter, so I don't know what positions you take in there. I was taking you to task for casting aspersions against Palin supporters here.

Well then, you basically admit that you don't know what you're talking about with respect to my actual attitudes towards Sarah Palin. Yet you do so anywise. Hmmm...

Note also, casting aspersions at Palin supporters is not the same thing as casting aspersions at Sarah Palin herself. Back in 2008, Duncan Hunter was a close second (after Fred Thompson) as my choice for the nominee. However, that didn't keep me from thinking that Duncan Hunter's supporters were a bunch of no-talent jerks, for the most part. Why? Because of the way they acted towards everyone else who didn't support their particular candidate first and foremost. The same is increasingly starting to Palin's supporters on here.

I'll ignore the name-calling. You either have selective amnesia, or are too young to remember CLINTON'S imposition of "Don't ask don't tell." EVERY conservative should oppose that subversive doctrine, and support a return to how George Washington treated sodomy in the military: court martial and drum 'em out of the service. If you think that opposing DADT is the same as "imposition of the radical gay agenda", well the kindest thing I can say is that you haven't thought it through.

Well guess what? In the context of today's discussion about the issue, repealing DADT is NOT about going back to the 18th century, it's about mainstreaming homosexuals into the military openly. There's no evidence - none whatsoever - that Sarah Palin wants to deal with sodomites the same way you and George do/did. Quite the opposite, when we consider that Palin retweeted Tammy Bruce's (an open lesbian who has been pushing for open serve for a while now) comments about it. Like it or not, the evidence suggests that Palin is for, or at least is not opposed to, allowing gays to serve openly in the military. Those are the facts - whether you choose to accept it or not makes no difference.

Thanks for opening my eyes. On the strength of a single interview, I will now abandon Sarah Palin, since she can't possibly be a social conservative. Wow, what would I do without you to give me "the facts" that can't possibly be wrong.
