As I left the Xcel Center one month ago today after hearding Sarah Palin speak to the Republican National Convention, I texted Bruce my one-word summation of her speech, “Reaganesque.” The more I watch clips of her debate last night, the more convinced I become of my initial assessment of my party’s vice presidential nominee.
She has a lot in common with the greatest Republican president of the last century.
Michael Barone wrote that the debate “spotlighted her winning personality. She showed the same smiling confidence that she did in her acceptance speech September 3.” Ronald Reagan’s public appearances spotlighted his winning personality, his smiling confidence, not only in himself, but also in the American people. And his optimism.
Last night, just as she did in St. Paul, Sarah Palin showed that very same optimism and the Gipper’s faith in the American people. As Rich Lowry put it, “She talked about regular middle-class people with the credibility of having lived that life every day.” Perhaps because of the kind of movies Hollywood made when Reagan was working as an actor, he always remembered his middle-class roots and could relate to the people with whom he grew up.
Importantly, like the Gipper, Sarah Palin, in the words of Glenn Reynolds, “does better without a big-media filter between her and the audience.” She spoke to us, not at us. Maybe she lost ground on debater’s points for not always answering some of the questions Gwen Ifill posed, but that didn’t seem to matter much to citizens watching the debate. They wanted to know that she understood their concerns.
It was classy of her to acknowledge as much, “And I may not answer the questions the way* that either the moderator or you want to hear, but I’m going to talk straight to the American people and let them know my track record also.” Sounds a lot like Ronald Reagan, more concerned with the American people than the Washington talking heads.
Indeed, she is anything but a Washington insider. Back in 1980, the talking heads of the day bemoaned the Gipper’s election because he hadn’t worked in the nation’s capital. No wonder so many of them are so critical of Sarah Palin. She’s not a part of their club. As blog-reader American Elephant put it in commenting on my post-debate analysis, “Palin in particular is utterly devoid of everything Americans hate about Washington politics.”
Finally, in her closing statement, she both quoted Ronald Reagan and echoed him, reminding of the gift of freedom and the fight we must wage to keep it. (Please click on “more” below to read that statement for yourself.)
Just as the Gipper made me proud to be a Republican so too does Sarah Palin. And proud to be an American.
Sarah Palin’s closing remarks:
I like being able to answer these tough questions without the filter, even, of the mainstream media kind of telling viewers what they’ve just heard. I’d rather be able to just speak to the American people like we just did.
And it’s so important that the American people know of the choices that they have on November 4th.
I want to assure you that John McCain and I, we’re going to fight for America. We’re going to fight for the middle-class, average, everyday American family like mine.
I’ve been there. I know what the hurts are. I know what the challenges are. And, thank God, I know what the joys are, too, of living in America. We are so blessed. And I’ve always been proud to be an American. And so has John McCain.
We have to fight for our freedoms, also, economic and our national security freedoms.
It was Ronald Reagan who said that freedom is always just one generation away from extinction. We don’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream; we have to fight for it and protect it, and then hand it to them so that they shall do the same, or we’re going to find ourselves spending our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children about a time in America, back in the day, when men and women were free.
We will fight for it, and there is only one man in this race who has really ever fought for you, and that’s Sen. John McCain.
*Apparently, CNN and the New York Times left those two words, “the way” out of their respective transcripts.
You really need to see this.
Grrrr…. Maybe this link will work.
As I said in a number of my comments when Governor Palin delivered her acceptance sppeech for VP, when McCain introduced Governor Palin as his choose for VP and again during the VP debate, I will make this prediction again, Governor Palin will be President of the US (she is a combination of the female version of Ronald Reagan and the American version of Maggie Thatcher) and whether McCain wins in 2008 or we suffer through 4 years of hell with Nobama as we did with Jimmy Carter (who will look good compared to what Nobama will do to our country if he is elected and destroys our economy, national security and makes a bigger mess of foreign policy and energy policy then Jimmy Carter ever did and that’s pretty big), I will say this again that Governor Palin will be the 45th President of the United States of America……it is a shame we have to wait for it but it will be worth the wait.
With McCain and Palin we will be able to steer the economy by putting our citizens first, reigning in government gone crazy in spending and create energy independence and a strong foreign policy and win the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and be ever vigilant and strong in the war against Islamic fascism….with Nobama/Biden we will be in Marxist/Socialist hell….and I prayer every day for their defeat since the America we all love will be unrecognizable in the worst possible of ways….and that is a kind understatement.
I hope that McCain follows the give ’em plain spoken go over the heads of the MSM to every day Americans and fights for Michigan and every battle ground state and speaks the truth about Fannie/Freddie Democrats like Nobama and reveals who Nobama is and what it will mean to have him as President and keep hitting home that McCain/Palin means tax cuts, government reform, less government spending, energy reform, a strong military and winning the war in Iraq, Afghanistan, winning the war against Islamic fascism, checking Russia and stopping Iran and North Korea nuclear weaponry and stands with our allies and democracies around the world like the Georgias of the world.
You know, I thought the same thing as I read the orgasmic reactions of “conservatives” to her down home nonsense. You say she speaks to Main Street, actually it’s more to the shopping mall she speaks. What does she have to say to the single mom living in the ghetto striving to feed her children, or the parents who work 2 or 3 jobs just to hold on to their houses, or to the queer kid thrown out of his/her home but “loving” religious fanatic parents or the multitude of other people whose life experiences are not middle to upper class “traditional” families who live on tree lined suburban streets. She offers the same old deception, the warm and fuzzy that is a cover for interior far different. And sadly too many people eat that shit up and ask for more. And the rest of us pay for it every single time.
Traditional middle class values work. Why is the whining left always putting them down? Why are we supposed to celebrate and enable dysfunction?
The choices Sarah Palin made… education, stable marriage, hard work, commitment to family… should be held up and honored, not spit on or sneered at.
Dave,
Get rid of your guilt someplace else. This is not the venue for it. Shopping malls, tree lined suburban streets….where do you get this crap?
Let’s do a check on your “bleeding heart liberalism”.
How many hours a week do you volunteer in the inner city to raise up the ghetto mother and her children?
When was the last time you got involved in your local gay outreach center to help the “queer” kid get along with his family or find a family that will nurture and support his growing up in a cruel tree lined suburban community.
Give me a break!!!!
Now go watch Oprah and feel better.
Jeb
In fact, why do you think the Democrats are in Ohio rounding up every homeless crackhead in sight to vote for Obama? They know Obama’s got a lock on the homeless crackhead vote. And then crackheads have known enough community organizers to know what an Obama admin means: they’ll never be asked to clean up, and their welfare checks will get bigger. (Paid for out of tax increases on the middle-class, straight-up, hardworking people like the Palin’s that Dave sneers and spits at.)
As fire as I could see, Palin answered the questions the way she wanted to. If Ifill had had her way, there would have been no way for Palin to talk about Energy. I think that she realized that she had allowed Couric etc to take over the interview and run her into the ground, and she wasn’t going to play that game any more. Did you note that EVERY YEAR, the US pays some $700 BILLION for foreign oil.
and I loved when she used the word ‘re-distribute’ when talking about Obama’s tax plan. Biden flinched at that. Because it’s true: Obama thinks it is a good thing to redistribute wealth from the rich to the poor. Especially if he is in charge at the time of distribution.
Obama thinks it is a good thing to redistribute wealth from the
richproductive to thepoorunproductive.Fixed it for ya!
Sorry V.
I just can’t help myself today.
I am sooooo tired of this liberal swill from the Left. I know I need to hold my tongue when these folks disparage the folks that work hard and do well.
I come from a family that started with nothing and with hard work and traditional values instilled in us by my mom and dad we (4 kids) all have grown up to have careers, families and loving homes (including this queer kid). We had our difficult periods but it was that “traditional” foundation that supported us through tough times.
John McCain and Sarah Palin have it right. Be positive, love and respect our great country, always do what is right not what is easiest. Only then will success and happiness follow.
The first time I voted was for Jimmy Carter…it was also the last time I voted for a Democrat. I have not forgotten those years and will do all I can in my community and country to make sure that time never returns.
I appreciate a place to voice my thoughts and “Warm and Fuzzy” feelings.
God bless our country and our potential for greatness.
Jeb
No apologies necessary, Jeb. We gotta hunker down and get ready for four years of this misguided bleeding heart Marxist crap. If you want to see where Obama is going, look where he’s been … (ACORN, Rezko, Ayers, Walsh, Wright).
GPW should appreciate this (from VDH)
V the K…funny you should quote that…when I hear Sarah Palin talk, I think of Marge Gunderson from Fargo all the time. Underestimated with her down to earth style but smart, clever, good sense of humor and connects with people.
I find it interesting that the MSM conduct toward Sarah Palin was what they did with Reagan-he was not too bright, not smart, not well read, no grasp of issues..full of fluff, one liners but not really capable of leading…..and well, there they go again.
Reagan was Reagan and Palin is Palin and let them misunderestimate her all the way to her swearing in as VP or should Nobama the Marxist be elected…in November 2012, they will misunderstimate soon to be President Palin…as she wins in a landslide and she will after 4 years of Marxist Nobama and numnits Joe Blowhard.
I know I need to hold my tongue when these folks disparage the folks that work hard and do well.
No you don’t.
Look at it this way; Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Dave whine about the middle class, but as Dave does here, they do nothing but mock and scorn that middle class and their values as “nonsense”.
They’re liars and hypocrites, and they deserve to be called out as such. V the K put it best; why do these people promote and support dysfunction while scorning and mocking those on whom and by whom this country is built?
Where is McCain? This got to be the lamest campaign I ever seen.. Lamer than even Bob Dole’s.
There is so much to be on fire about and he’s actually complimenting AL GORE!.. Ugh.. I want to shoot myslf.
From today’s Rush Limbaugh:
RUSH: Holy cow! Hubba hubba, dooba dooba. Now, Ms. Palin, while you’re at it, could you also call Senator McCain, ’cause she had a great answer on global warming last night. Did you guys see this? This story cleared about six o’clock last night, when I was en route. I was in the sky, the wild blue yonder headed west to San Antonio. It’s a Reuters story: “McCain Eyes Potential Treasury Pick.” I said, “Oh.” So I read it. I’m not surprised he’s mentioning a bunch like Meg Whitman or Warren Buffett. Not surprised. But can I get to the last paragraph of this? That’s nothing. Warren Buffett’s nothing. “Asked if he would be a visible presence in international talks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and replace the Kyoto Protocol, McCain, who has clashed with fellow Republicans over climate change, said he would do ‘whatever is necessary to try to move forward.’
“He said he would involve former Vice President Al Gore in efforts to address the issue. ‘I would tap [Algore], I would tap people who have been involved in these issues for many years.’ McCain noted that he disagreed with the Nobel Peace Prize winner about nuclear energy but added, ‘I have great respect for Al Gore.'” Ladies and gentlemen, please do not turn off your radio. Please don’t abandon me here. I should have given you ample warning if you hadn’t heard of this. That’s right. He’s Al Davis. He has no clue. He just literally has no idea. I do not think that Senator McCain is in the tank for Obama, but I would be hard-pressed to prove it. It’s very, very sad news, ladies and gentlemen. So while Sarah Palin is a e-mailing the campaign after she reads that her own campaign’s pulling out of Michigan, maybe she could have a conversation with Senator McCain about this. Algore
OT, but quite related….Barney Frank is outed as having had a relationship with a Fannie Mae executive in charge of “affordable housing”.
Or, put differently, Barney was having sex with an executive of a company who was in charge of and receiving bonuses based on programs which Barney was pushing to have deregulated and expanded, at the cost of taking on much higher levels of risk for the company and for taxpayers.
Can we spell “conflict of interest”?
It should have been Kay Bailey Hutchinson up there. Palin is a joke.
I hope there’s a sex tape
She ought to say “So how’s voting liberal working out for ya?”
Especially given that the libs “war on poverty”, with no exit strategy, has produced the single mom living in the ghetto and the parents working extra jobs to hold onto the house they never should have gotten a loan for in the first place.
And as far as the “queer kid”, the libs will make sure to replace one form of hate in his life for another and guarantee him victim status. They’ll pat him on the head when they need votes and money and stick a knife in his back as soon as it’s deemed necessary to hold on to their power.
Which reminds me: When, do you suppose, Comrade Obama will lower himself to talk to the gay press?
I just wanted to say how much I love this blogsite! Finally, some true conservativism and good common sense. I’m not even gay–just happened onto this site several days ago and look forward every day to reading the posts.
Rocket–re: your comparison of Palin to Reagan, I read a great book called Reagan on Leadership, in which the author points out the actual strategy behind Reagan’s appearing not to pay attention or falling asleep during meetings. I vaguely remember the criticisms of him from that time. Although I had voted for him, I really wasn’t politically savvy during that time of my life. If he had a meeting with someone who wanted to see him, and he didn’t want to offend that person by refusing to meet, he would just be pleasant but noncommittal, in such a way as to discourage that person from a future attempt. His philosophy was to expend energy only on those tasks which were uniquely the job of the President. Apparently Jimmy Carter had had a much more micro-managerial approach to the Presidency. It’s a fascinating read. And informative on the subject of leadership in general.
It should have been Kay Bailey Hutchinson up there.
Don’t you love it when these Dem mobys come here and try to pretend that they respect ANY Republican women?
Problem is, Palin has demonstrated to a tee how misogynistic, hateful, and sexist Democrat males are to any female who dares challenge them, rather than falling at their feet and worshiping them for teaching her how to overcome her natural aversion to killing her own children. Hence, the only thing they can do is to come here and play concern troll in an attempt to make us get rid of Palin.
Palin is an anathema to poseurs everywhere.
Nice dig at the Obamas.
I love that she knows what this election is about and isn’t afraid to say it.
I like Palin a lot. I think her communication skills are Reaganesque in a way, but aside from that she has much to prove before I can compare her to Reagan who was extremely well-informed and knew exactly what he believed and why. Of course she is what? 44? Reagan was 70 when he first took office. Perhaps a young Reagan… Reagan Jr?
Tell them the truth. That they can be forever dependent on the government and stay exactly where they are for the rest of their lives under liberals or remain independent under Republicans and slowly but surely, with hard work, they can get ahead and make a better life for themselves and their children.
what do liberals have to say to him? other than “you’re a victim?” and that he should hate and deny God?
I think Palin would tell him that God loves him no matter what some misguided parents say. She would espouse the tolerance his parents lack. She already has.
Far better and more constructive messages than encouraging someone to spend their life as a victim.
Yes! Approximately 1-2 weeks after John McCain has — the same way he has done throughout the campaign. ME TOO!
Talk about a learning curve, five weeks in and all hopes rest on Governor Palin at the Vice Presidential Debate, no thanks to Katie Couric and Charlie Gibson. Ms. Palin knocks it out of the ballpark; again. There’s an observation I’d like to make about some Democratic politicians though. A faux pas they commit with increased regularity. Now if you don’t like Bozo the clown, if you feel that he’s a particularly bad clown and bad for the country, why then don a Bozo wig, a pair of size 14 shoes, and a rubber nose whenever denouncing Bozo?
If there’s an official uniform of the president, it’s the pastel blue tie, white shirt, and dark suit first popularized by George W. Bush. The color scheme comes from the presidential flag. No other American president made those colors his distinctive style before George W. Bush. In 2004, Bill Clinton even had his presidential portrait painted wearing George W’s signature garb. Although the 1960 Kennedy vs. Nixon debate was televised in black & white, people still argue the significance blue vs. grey played during the election.
But there remains no ambiguity about which candidate wore what color (Kennedy, blue). Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. And, the fashion police have long memories. Ms. Palin dressed for and aced the debate. Note: before castigating Bozo, please try not to emulate Bozo. It makes one look like a Bozo. We must learn from the negative example set by Al Gore, Joe Biden and the others, and not allow our inner Bozos to dictate our mode of dress: http://theseedsof9-11.com
Jeb, I have no guilt to be rid of, and you clearly go into the list of creative readers who feel they know better than I was I said. I’ve done plenty and will again when I am able to help folks in the situations I describe. Your tiny minds can’t fathom that what I was saying is that there are MILLIONS who aren’t included in the fantasy of “main street” that some have on here. Palin says what you want to hear, fine. But if a candidate truly wants to claim to “Be positive, love and respect our great country, always do what is right not what is easiest.” Then they better learn damn quick that denying the problems (or blaming them on “liberals”, pandering to ONE group of people, trying to appease the lunatic fringe on the right, is none of those things, it is shitting on the people of the United States, including the middle class. It is just as repulsive that her manner and CONTRIVED words can convince folks to vote for her as it is that Obama can get away with never saying anything practicle or concrete. Palin is just another symptom of the shallowness that reigns in the political spectrum today.
TGC, if you are stupid enough to believe that it’s only those who took on “loans they shouldn’t have had” who are struggling then you are even more unaware of what is happening in the country than I thought.
AE, I know you’re content with your erroneous idea that liberals hate and deny God but the biggest show of hatred towards God in this country today is the perversion of Christianity practiced by those who you support. When Christ is used as a weapon against those who don’t fit a tiny little man made view of what is acceptable THAT is denying God. And that is the exactly what happens in too many AOG, SBA and “independent Bible believing churches”. Claiming that surface level “tolerance and love” exhibited by Palin or McCain has anything to offer is totally ridiculous. They are no better than the Dems, they say one thing but prove they believe another by supporting positions that are against LGBT people. I love you but I have to beat you and bow to those who hate you. Some stupid ass movie made by someone who just needs attention has NOTHING to do with the views of most liberals any more than bile that flows from right wing hate radio has to do with the views of most conservatives. Repeat the lie, the facts remain.
To the one who called the poor unproductive, you’re disgusting and I hope that you never end up needing help or if you do that you meet up with those who have as much contempt as you do.
Yet as many people have since pointed out, Palin’s quote from Reagan comes from his attack on Medicare as socialized medicine, a program the vast majority of Americans now support. The unavoidable truth is that Palin’s performance at the debate was passable only by comparing it to her prior interviews where even many right-wing commentators were appalled by her lack of knowledge on basic policy issues. The debates have not stopped what appears to be growing momentum in the polls for Obama.
McCain is toast. And let me be the first to call Barack Obama the worst U.S. President in history.
Mark the date.

CNN FRONT PAGE NEWS: Palin says Obama pals with ‘terrorists’
digusts me. “God’s will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that.”
BTW, Since the government is now on the hook for over a trillion dollars to bail out the Democrats’ experiment in socialized mortgage lending, where is Comrade Obama going to come up with the money to pay for socialized health care? Massive tax increase, or cannibalizing the military until the US is powerless to defend itself?
(Hint: In Britain and Canada, the answer has been “Both.” And there’s still a six week wait for a CAT scan.)
“CNN FRONT PAGE NEWS: Palin says Obama pals with ‘terrorists’”
okay fair game. If Obama relationship with William Ayers is on the table, what about Palin’s relationship to the Alaska Independence Party, a secessionist party her husband was quite recently a member and a party Sarah Palin has openly courted.
As reported by Greg Sargent:
“The founder of the AIP was a man named Joe Vogler. Here’s what he had to say in a 1991 interview, only a few years before Palin attended its convention: “The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government.”
I would think such statements would horrify gay patriots.
So, Brendan, did the AIP set off bombs in the Pentagon, the Capitol, and the NYC Police Headquarters?
Didn’t think so.
In fact, some people would say the AIP was peacefully assembling to petition the government for a redress of grievances… a.k.a. exercising their constitutional rights. Do you lefties have a thing against people exercising their Constitutional rights? Is this the kind of thing we can expect from Comrade Obama when he has absolute power over the government?
By the way, Brendan, three of William Ayers buddies were killed while assembling a nail bomb that William Ayers designed, which they intended to set off a dance where American soldiers would be gathered, in hopes of killing American soldiers.
Can you point to *anything* in the AIP that even comes close to that?
So Brendan isn’t disputing the charge?
So Brendan , that means Obama lied then, right?
oh one thing.. only a person who DOESN’T know the extent of the Ayers-Obama relationship would say that their info leads them to think its irrelvelnt.
But anyone who knows just how tight these people are would know how important it is.
So Brendan, just like with so many other “outraged” Lefties (on so many different topics), the thing you bitch must about , you know jack shit about it.
So. Shut th fuck up and learn.
must s/b most
Brendan,
Americans may support it, but it’s even closer to bankruptcy than social security and is unsustainable. Reagan was right.
Translation: Her knowledge of policy is not the problem, biased editing is. Turns out when the media isnt able to “filter” her answers, she does just fine.
“Among 944 likely voters, the Kerry-Edwards ticket led Bush-Cheney 50 percent to 46 percent. The Oct. 4-6 survey had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.”
bring it on. First off, Palin didnt attend their convention, she sent them a “congratulations on your convention” video taped message that basically said how important the free flow of ideas is to democracy. I know this is galling stuff to dictatorial liberals, but to most Americans its a yawner, but kicking off your political career with an unrepentant domestic terrorist is not. Especially in light of all the other criminals and radicals Obama associates with.
Just out of curiosity, when liberals talk about truth, is anyone else reminded of Inigo Montoya in the Princess Bride? “I do not think that word means what you think it means”
V the K..once again this election so reminds me of 1976….and I have this sinking feeling that McCain is toast. As I have said in too many posts….Marxist Nobama is going to make Jimmy Carter appear to be for lack of a better word Reaganesque as a President. Carter gave us 20 plus percent interest rates, double digit inflation, gas lines, the worst economy since the Depression and the Iran hostage crisis and the worst foreign policy in the 20th century……Marixst Nobama will make Carter look like a genius.
Palin reminds me of a younger Reagan and like in 1976 when many thought Reagan should have been the GOP nominee, I did post back when Palin was picked for VP that she should be on top of the ticket. I predicted then and I say it again (it seems all my posts seem to say it since like you V the K, I deep down think McCain is toast), just like with Reagan, who became President 4 years later, Sarah Palin will be our 45th President of the United States.
The sad part is that McCain should have kept attacking Nobama non stop and then use the Palin VP nominating acceptance speech as the GOP mantra: lower taxes, cut spending except for defense, Veterans benefits/ cut down on government bureaucracy, Energy Independence and the Commander in Chief argument/Win the War on Terror/Win the War in Iraq and in Afghanistan.
It was what Reagan won on in 1980 (cut taxes, restore our economy, strong defense) It worked then and would work now.
I still can’t believe his campaign publicly announced they were abandoning Michigan..duh, why gave away the game plan out loud and they should have sent in the Palins to talk the auto workers and do as she said (we are with you and will do whatever we can to help you keep your jobs and create new ones since we will need Michigan to create energy independence and hit that hard.)
All I keep thinking is I sure hope the GOP if it loses with McCain does not throw its best asset under the bus….and grooms Sarah Palin for 2012.
sign me up now!
If Obama wins, I hope Republicans will do like Democrats and start campaigning for 2012 immediately.
If McCain/Palin dont win, I predict Bobby Jindal will be the 45th president.
First off, I love your blog. I have to say that. I agree with a lot of the things you have to say, but I really feel the need to ask you something:
You do understand that Palin regards being homosexual as a life choice? You do know that, don’t you?
Palin’s religion (and the woman herself) subscribe to the fact that you have CHOSEN to be gay and that you can indeed be cured. I know there’s some people on your site who are trying to defend her archaic behavior, and Palin has no intention of separating church from State, but the fact of the matter is to her core, she is an evangelical Christian. And she believes you can be cured of your Life Choice.
I just wanted to hear your thoughts on that. I’m intensely curious.
If Obama wins, I hope Republicans will do like Democrats and start campaigning for 2012 immediately.
We can start by pointing to the Obama campaign’s rampant use of vote fraud to de-legitimize his victory. Just like the Democrats did with Bush in 2000.
Barack Obama said, “John McCain doesn’t know what he’s up against.”
With fraud-rampant ACORN and now “Camp Obama” where Obama supporters are trained in Saul Alinsky tactics — coupled with John McCain’s refusal to point the finger of blame where it belongs, I fear that was a gross understatement.
digusts me. “God’s will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that.â€
Doubtful, since you fully support and endorse Obama claiming that he is “fulfilling God’s will” and doing “the Lord’s work”.
Her convention speech!

Freddy Krueger has nightmares about Sarah Palin.
Nothing erroneous about it. They proclaim it themselves, loud and proud from tons of movies mocking, deriding and claiming to disprove Christianity, to S&M Last Suppers, to “Piss” Christs and Elephant dung Mary’s, and on and on… Go into a gay chatroom and mention Jesus, and watch the hate spew forth. None of which is ever decried by the left, but rather embraced, hailed and promoted. Huge gallery showings, reproductions, gala movie events. Never any criticism, just praise. Sorry, its just fact.
Wrong again. I don’t support anyone who shows hatred towards God or perverts Christianity, or uses Christ as a weapon.
Indeed, the ONLY “Christians” that I know of who use God or Christ as a weapon against anyone (widely denounced by Christians conservatives) is Fred Phelps church. And the Phelps’ are big party Democrats.
And isn’t it uncanny how similar the behaviors of Phelps and his followers are to those of the liberal left. From the childish, anti-Christian banalities that liberals call art to the psychoses displayed at your average liberal protest. “God Hates Fags” “Bush is Hitler!”
Its all the same.
