She said during an interview that without blaming anyone, the swine flu had appeared during President Carter and President Obama, two democrat presidents.<br /><br />Either she is really dumb, which is highly possible, or you are dumb enough to believe her !!!<br /><br />The point is not being a conservative or a liberal: it's being stupid or notAlexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-601874105598784590.post-53759283985774983542009-01-29T19:16:00.000-05:002009-01-29T19:16:00.000-05:00Enjoyed reading the interview!Enjoyed reading the interview!Becky Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06332491469310441513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-601874105598784590.post-81401689556632717062009-01-26T22:06:00.000-05:002009-01-26T22:06:00.000-05:00Forget "conservatism," please.

Secular conservatism will not defeat secular liberalism because to God both are two atheistic peas-in-a-pod and thus predestined to failure. As Stonewall Jackson's Chief of Staff R.L. Dabney said of such a humanistic belief more than 100 years ago:<BR/><BR/>"[Secular conservatism] is a party which never conserves anything. Its history has been that it demurs to each aggression of the progressive party, and aims to save its credit by a respectable amount of growling, but always acquiesces at last in the innovation. What was the resisted novelty of yesterday is today .one of the accepted principles of conservatism; it is now conservative only in affecting to resist the next innovation, which will tomorrow be forced upon its timidity and will be succeeded by some third revolution; to be denounced and then adopted in its turn. American conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward towards perdition. It remains behind it, but never retards it, and always advances near its leader. This pretended salt bath utterly lost its savor: wherewith shall it be salted? Its impotency is not hard, indeed, to explain. It is worthless because it is the conservatism of expediency only, and not of sturdy principle. It intends to risk nothing serious for the sake of the truth."<BR/><BR/>Our country is collapsing because we have turned our back on God (Psalm 9:17) and refused to kiss His Son (Psalm 2).<BR/><BR/>John Lofton, Editor, TheAmericanView.com<BR/>Recovering Republican<BR/>JLof@aol.comJohn Lofton, Recovering Republicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687524008871521220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-601874105598784590.post-4871358644738553982009-01-26T21:53:00.000-05:002009-01-26T21:53:00.000-05:00You are doing an awesome job!!Great interview.It r...You are doing an awesome job!!<BR/><BR/>Great interview.<BR/><BR/>It really helped me to become more familiar with Michelle Bachmann. I had really enjoyed and supported her when I first heard about her from blogs (when Chris Matthews interviewed her and gave her a really unfair treatment, imo).<BR/><BR/>I'm really impressed with your journalism here.Laura Lee - Grace Explosionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10002267385228111639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-601874105598784590.post-40300775035921111032009-01-26T20:35:00.000-05:002009-01-26T20:35:00.000-05:00Agreed, this was a great interview and I found her...Agreed, this was a great interview and I found her comments on energy particularly interesting.
