Speaking strictly for myself, I do not hate you guys. I just don't like Alan Keyes. Nothing hidden here. And uh, I'm just taking a wild guess here, but I don't think you have to worry about that imaginary envy, either.
And if there is any doubt, just since I announced that Southflanknorthpawsis had won, their excitement has picked up substantially. It sure looks like a two-way race seeing as how a call for compassion seems to have taken precedence over the desire to win at all costs!
Right now, we're looking at 15 from Daughter--in less than 24 hours, no less. Its going to take a Herculean effort by Howlin to match or beat that, inasmuch as she only has 11 since the first days' winner was announced.
It is quite possible that 'hate for Keyesters' is the motive, but I thought Republicans were above 'hate' and all that stuff that was identifiable with Democrats. I can see your point about hate or envy or yes, frustration, resulting from not having to be ashamed of those you admire most.
I'm so thankful and happy that I don't have to worry about what 'is' is; about hostile terriers; about taxes passing over or under any body, dead or alive. I prefer someone who knows what government is supposed to be about, who respects our founding documents, who knows the difference between a philosopher and Jesus Christ, and has a wife that goes about her life with dignity, grace, and class.
BTW, I believe I've figured out why there is a constant harping about 'being told what he really said'....its probably a combination fo the general overall decline in conversation in the US, 8 second sound bites, and having leaders that you need an interpreter for!
If discussion of the show, after Jan 21, becomes equally personal and unpleasant, why not take the discussion over to www.declaration.net? We have a forum there, with much diversity of opinion [esp on the Civil War] but also much less baiting and bad manners. And I can ban anyone who gets out of line!
Best to you,
Richard F.
