The ball has stopped rolling. I respect you and your beliefs, even if I disagree with them.

It’s my hope that we’ll be able to strike up non-political conversations on shared topics of interest in the future; Tolkien, family, music, etc.

I find this funny coming from you Porter… since you and Pete were the ones that drove the rest of us from the Wallaboo site by your childish name calling. Don’t believe me? Ask any of the moderate/conservative/libertarian Wallas yourself….

Beck made this all about race by claiming to “take back the civil rights movement from progressives.” If you tell me the tea parties aren’t about race and disavow all the racists that frequent tea party events, then I salute you and will agree with you. But that means you have to disavow Glenn Beck, including his rally to co-opt the legacy of MLK.

Doug,
We’ve done this before. I’ve no real interest in doing it again. I’d much rather just agree to disagree and be all friendly like. Though I don’t care for what I see in the reaction to Pres. Obama’s election on the right, I know that you are a thoughtful observer of politics, and more importantly that you practice a brand of conservatism that I respect (though disagree with).

The point of this article was to be amusing and perhaps even funny. Clearly I failed in your estimation, and that (failing to be funny), incidentally, would have been a far more stinging critique than anything you could say about my well known political stance. Nader 2016!!

Again, Alinsky is proud to have you on board. You’re doing quite well at diverting from the reality of the actual subject matter of which you claim to be parodying.
