The internet gives us that peak behind the "Some of my best friends are..." and "I support the troops" facades.Van Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470413719262297062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-72485972612243671742008-08-30T07:00:00.000-07:002008-08-30T07:00:00.000-07:00Send another one in 16.Send another one in 16.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-13230351247220995242008-08-30T06:57:00.000-07:002008-08-30T06:57:00.000-07:00Forget everything I said after hello.Sarah, my res...Forget everything I said after hello.<BR/><BR/>Sarah, my resume will be a lot thicker in 10 years.

Charles Johnson (who calls himself a "stauch anti-creationist") however is convinced she in fact isn't so benighted.<BR/><BR/>I've read enough of the posts on this blog -- and plenty of other material -- to grasp that the "anti-creationists" are in the end further from Truth than people like Palin, even though they superficially grasp aspects of modern biology (i.e., micro "evolution").<BR/><BR/>I'm finding it increasingly difficult to be 100% aligned with my conservative athiest friends and colleagues. The small percentage of people in the big cities who are not liberal tend to be libertarian fiscal conservatives who are fairly hardline atheists, and who I suspect secretly consider their Christian to be somewhat akin to the country bumpkin cousins from Arkansas -- decent folk, but far too naive to be taken seriously.<BR/><BR/>We REALY need people like the author of this blog to shed some light on this woefully misunderstood "debate". Then otherwise fine men like Johnson and Reynolds might be less squeamish about a dynamo like Palin, whose compass needle points true north.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-60217087400924633892008-08-30T05:49:00.000-07:002008-08-30T05:49:00.000-07:00The Idiossey, by Iowahawk.

The irony of anonymity is that it allows people to reveal who they really are. They say and do things they would never say or do in real life, precisely because nobody can <I>see</I> them. Which gives them a chance to really let it all hang out. Often unfortunately. Of course, the flipside is that the same anonymity gives some people the chance to be at their best, a truism demonstrated here on a daily basis.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-59055957971301721022008-08-29T23:10:00.000-07:002008-08-29T23:10:00.000-07:00I have to say that while I have misgivings about P...I have to say that while I have misgivings about Palin.

She (and her husband) won me over right then and there. I'm glad McCain chose her.<BR/><BR/>Not to mention I'm only two up on her with my brood. It would be nice to have a mother in office who knows what it's like to have more than 2.5 children--with the same man! (Moms of large families often get asked that rather eyebrow-raising question: all by the same dad?)<BR/><BR/>I'm curious to see how she'll do infant management + campaigning (I mean, is she still nursing? wow, another first if so), and how she'll fare in the debates. She's authentic, not image-d up, and it comes across.
