It is amusing that you are attempting to hi...Rick,<br /><br />It is amusing that you are attempting to hijack my post as an avenue to insult my "techno backwards conservatives" yet you can't even log in before posting to reveal your identity. There's something about a pot and a kettle in there.<br /><br />I'll bite though. I do care about the economy, I care DEEPLY about the protection of our country, and I care about the government's indoctrination of our children--something you might know of as public school. I care a great deal about having an honest government.<br /><br />Although I realize your whole argument against me rides on this, you are going to have to withdraw the accusation that it is disingenuous of me to speak to the crowd about any subject "beyond [my] true conviction." I seem to recall you being on my back for only speaking to the one issue prior to this. Here in the real world, even with us techno backwards conservatives, you can't have it both ways. I also recall you stating that because I was silent for so many years, somehow I just don't get to be involved now. You are a self-righteous, double-talker who seems to have a strong desire to hang around with those you feel superior to. You come here, not to hear opposing views, but to pretend to listen to them, and spew your liberal talking points. If you actually absorbed anything I've written, you would see that I am not reciting ANYONE's talking points. I am no one's puppet--I guess it is quite possible that this is exactly what terrifies you and the rest of the left. We, my confused conservative movement, are simply a bunch of fed up Americans.<br /><br />You honestly think that we don't know the coorelation of a teleprompter and an index card? No, of course not. That was just an attempt at an insult, yet again. The problem that us techno backwards conservatives have is his complete reliance on the teleprompter and utter and complete lack of ability to continue the conversation without strict prompting. Since you seem to be at home watching what we conservatives are doing, perhaps you saw Sarah Palin's first nationally televised speech. She was using a teleprompter, and it went blank, for quite some time. No one ever knew, other than a few reporters with the inside scoop touting her as a hero of sorts for being able to carry on. There is nothing wrong with having some notes, but many of us would feel more comfortable if our Commander in Chief actually had the slightest idea what he was speaking about, even if the teleprompter stopped working.<br /><br />You, Mr. Beagle, are the one who is confused. You seem to think that my not agreeing with your views equates to my not caring about issues that are of importance to you. There is a novel concept that we used to embrace in this country: individuality. I am not, and will never be, one of a flock of sheep that will swallow whatever anyone tells me. I was the child in 3rd grade debating with my elementary school teacher. That's just me, not someone's feigned conviction.<br /><br />I've already addressed this with you before, but you can't let it go. I am not pinning my hopes that "one of these bozos" will pass a bill to overturn Roe vs. Wade. I am being true to my beliefs and speaking out on behalf of those who can't speak for themselves. If one of these bozos were to get Roe V Wade overturned, I would rejoice in the streets at the thought of minimizing the innocent blood shed daily in our country. I'm not ignorant, Mr. Beagle, I know that there would still be abortions, but it wouldn't be as simple as scheduling an appointment for a breast augmentation, and funny enough, in this techno forward society that you embrace, getting a breast augmentation is frowned upon, and killing an unborn child is championed. Again, I'll ask you, "Why are you NOT here?"Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240558517681424027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-601874105598784590.post-516460378476164762009-04-25T04:28:00.000-04:002009-04-25T04:28:00.000-04:00You are confusing the conservative movement with y...You are confusing the conservative movement with your anti-abortion movement. You are pinning your hopes that one of these bozos will actually pass a bill to overturn Roe vs. Wade all the while reciting their talking points.<br /><br />You don't care about the economy, you don't care about the war, and to be honest, you don't care about much of anything beyond your one true interest. I think it is disingenuous of you to speak to that crowd about any subject beyond your true conviction.<br /><br />As to the teleprompter, you techno backwards conservatives don't even realize that a teleprompter is the advanced electronic version of 3x5 card. He uses a blackberry too (that there is a fancy phone).<br /><br />Ugh.<br />Rick BeagleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
