This was the most interesting (or rather, unexpected) part of the whole article. While I do not have an opinion on climate change (being honest enough to admit I don’t understand the science and am not likely to, simply being shown a bunch of graphs and charts by one side and paranoid conspiracies by the other.) But I had no idea that opinions about climate change were related to being a conservative.

I’m not conservative. I’m not liberal. I think if you identify with either way of thinking very strongly, you are not a balanced person. I find TV to be vulgar, repetitive trash and haven’t watched it for decades, and the way sexuality is often portrayed there to be – ugly, but even more, sadly degrading. I’m for recognizing ALL humans as equal – and have a lot of disgust for the delusional party lifestyles promoted on tv, whether by gays or by heteros. I think gays should have civil unions, and that government should change its terminology so that it is out of the business of marriage altogether. If someone wants to join a church and work for change from within, that’s their problem.

Monica Crowley is the one voice that holds back the screech of the Newsweek witch on McLaughlin Group every Sunday.

Well, another blonde bites the dust…

But Debbie, cut some slack on Michelle Malkin -
She’s just behind you in prolific, on-the-money blogs!

Hannity is one of the founding members of conservative talk radio and TV…

………..Principles before personalities……….

We are too few to eat our Young!

D: Michelle Malkin helps and raises money for a woman who praised Muslim death, rape, and torture threats on my life and my family members’ lives. She is a fraud and a hypocrite. And she promoted a blatantly anti-Semitic article recently on her site, as well as accusing AIPAC of spying for Israel. There is nothing “on the money” about her. Exposing this fake Fraudkin is not “eating young” or the absence of principle. Wake the heck up. Hannity a “founding member” of anything? Frickin’ hilarious. What are you smoking? He’s a founding member of his bank account and the “Rush Limbaugh bad imitation tribute show.” And that’s it. If you think these people are principled, you don’t know what principle is.

NOW YOU’RE TALKING!

About Linda McMahon a would-be CT senator – interesting that you should bring her up. I have had a number of snail mail requests for help from her turn up in my mailbox, and I have also heard from Simmons and Tobin, but not a word from my choice at this point, Peter Schiff. I saw him on Fox News after my hour of Glenn Beck, and I was totally impressed. He is an economic conservative, and as I’ve said for years, without property rights there are no human rights. I well remember his dad who refused to pay taxes which he believed were unconstitutional, and now Irwin Schiff is a 70 something man in jail. I would not have had the courage!

One person I would like to speak of who is to me the real deal, and that is Mark Levin, a mensch in every respect, and please do not speak ill of this man! He had had such heart problems and every time he coughs I worry. This man has got it right imho and he continues to give of himself on behalf of the country he loves.

I had a interesting experience last Tuesday – riding home from the airport with a driver I had ridden with before – a man whom I knew to be conservative but had never spoken with so extensively. Frank came to the US from Italy in 1961 and works as a driver for a limo company. He is intelligent and informed, with lots of time spent in an unoccupied car and the opportunity to listen a lot to talk radio. We talked politics all the way from Queens, NY to my home, a trip of over an hour, and to me he is a fine example of a serious commonsense conservative who loves his adopted country and fears for her future. Our conversation was both enlightening and uplifting. And incidentally, he likes Lou Dobbs who comes across to him as the real deal. However, I have only heard or seen Dobbs a few times but do agree with his stand on immigration.

Enough said – thanks for the round table Debbie – you’re a tough lady, but that’s what people say about me!
