- I'm a reformed Democrat. I voted for Clinton when I turned 18, then Gore, then Kerry. It took 8 years and Obama for me to see the Democrats for what they are, hypocrites. Thanks Barry for opening up my eyes.

You asked me what I thought of recent POD like activity--
ReplyDeleteI think it is for sure occurring--are you specifically referring to the Miss CA article/how quickly it got nasty?
I think that there are certain issues that some people who frequent LR get tunnel vision on:
1. Anything related to gay marriage (understandable) But you are right: the gay rights mvmt is hurt by gay rights adv's who go after donors, ridicule others...
2.Obama as Sinner ("Stole" nom, lies,generally sucks)
3.Hillary as Saint, a Saint who was entitled to the throne and Sinner Obama stole it;
JSOM is a great blogger, who moderates fairly, and his blog has been (in my mind, up until around Oct/Nov) the gold standard for polite discussion, stimulating posts and so forth.
Some commenters just like to be over the top--like calling you greedy, or coming at you /others in an outright hostile "I can learn nothing from you" tone.
I think there are some core people who genuinely love to listen/share and grow--for instance, Jeannie, JSOM,......?
