The only semi bright spot is that is that our RINO Senator defeated her far, far left democratic socialist opponent!

The leaves are again turning and we are awaiting the inevitable winter of our discontent (global warming my a##, it’s cold up here!) in both the literal winter and the figurative one of the next four years of socialist rule.

Hopefully Vice President Palin will come to Maine and bag one of these!!

BTW that’s about 1500 lbs of Moose! In a car/moose fight…the car usually loses!!

Oh, and thanks for the lovely picture (and the cute lobsters).

On a side note, I remember reading that dreadful column by Maureen Dowd that you are referring to (the link is below). Hopefully, I will have the time to write a diary about her next.

Mr. Darcy Comes Courting

I entered in mid-Feb to learn about him. The disrespect of the comments attached to official homepage posts was overwhelming from the beginning.

On May 8, official blogpost on Obama’s speech on Israel’s 60th Birthday was hijacked by anti-Israel, pro-palestinian supporters. To this day, not ONE of my objectionable content reports has ever been acknowledged by the campaign. On May 11, I was cyber-lynched by an Obama delegate because I wrote something positive about Evan Bayh in a Group email that was going to more than 200 people. Cyber-lynched. That combination flipped me to undecided. My thought was, if Obama cannot get his delegates to follow his example of respectful discourse, he is no leader.

Also on May 11, the campaign DID scrub the blog of a pro-Hamas supporter whose posts had been so disturbing that I had been filing regular objectionable content reports since mid-March. The man whose blog was scrubbed on May 11 knew my real name and location from February -and had been attacking me in his posts and Group emails since mid-March. I started hiding my name and location in early April.

I was genuinely afraid he would be unhinged by having his blog scrubbed that he would blame me, find me and kill me.

That blog scrub was when I discovered that only external influences triggered action by the campaign. McCain had made Hamas an issue on May 9, the day Obama had to fire Robert Malley for his Hamas links.

The only nice people in that website were over 50 and/or Republicans and/or Evangelicals.

Both the ACLU and ADL should have long ago cited MyBO for hate speech. (MyBO’s disclaimer was added on June 3). All of my attempts to supply evidence of the hypocrisy of this campaign to MSM have failed.

I realized the full scope of the intolerance of the left over time. It was when Brooklyn supporters forced stores to stop selling The New Yorker because of the July 21 cover that I saw this “movement” as similar to the beginnings of Hitler. (I am a private historian).

By the way, Obama’s fundraising has been a pyramid scheme. I’ve watched wave after wave of supporters become disillusioned over issue after issue, starting with Israel and opting out of public financing. What is carrying him now is simply that he is the Democratic nominee at a time when the incumbent party has lost credibility over the economy. Not that the Republicans deserve the entire blame, but that is how it works in election years.

As to my 40-year habit of reading the NYT? Their business and Sunday real estate sections are still good.

Again, thanks for the welcome and the commitment to “be respectful or be banned”. I use Lizzie here because she is my favorite fictional character from “Pride and Prejudice”. By the way -when Maureen Dowd wrote that Obama is Darcy? My comment was that Obama is Wickham, and McCain is Colonel Brandon from “Sense and Sensibility”.

Now when I attach a comment to NYT, I include “please don’t send me to the gulag”

By the way, interesting comment.

Nothing could be more telling that that.

Welcome to RedState by the way

Excellent critique. Could not resist telling you that Bob Herbert is beyond medication. He ran a very self-assured personal ad seeking white women in New York magazine in 1992, which I answered for fun. He called, then had to go to cover Hurricane Andrew in Miami, and never called again. When he started writing on the NYT Op-Ed page, I could read him as the ‘voice of black NY’ knowing how much he secretly hated being black.

So, the answer to your question is NO, Mr. Herbert is not the least bit ashamed of himself. He actually sees the world as racist as he writes. The scary part is that he has infected the rest of the Op-Ed page.

By the way, I am a pro-choice registered Democrat since 1972, who never voted for Hillary. Six months inside Obamaworld has finalized my conversion to Independent, started by the Mark ‘nastiest campaign ever’ Green vs. Mike Bloomberg in 2001.

Obama’s campaign website is a scary, disrespectful, intolerant place. I am writing this under a different alias than the one I use inside MyBO to hide my identity and location.

My decision to vote McCain/Palin is based on their character, policies, experience, and accomplishments. Also, I’ve seen too many parallels between Obama’s ‘movement’ and Hitler in their suppression of dissent.

And also, I changed out one of my links about Joe the Plumber (the one under the label “colonoscopy”) to contain the latest story about officials in OH snooping through Joe’s tax records and voter registration records. The other link about Joe (simply labeled “Joe the Plumber”) has stayed the same (with the John Kass column as the link).

By the way, Jaded has written a diary that has a really good link to the local Columbus, OH paper discussing the rifling through of Joe the plumber’s personal records (linked below).

Jaded’s diary

Oh, and one more thing. In the paragraph where I talk about the actual attacks on McCain supporters, I linked to Warner Todd Huston’s excellent dairy (under the label “ACTUAL”) about the woman carrying the McCain sign being assaulted by an Obama supporter. His diary is really good, because it also contains a link explaining that the Secret Service debunked the claims of someone shouting “kill him” (about Obama) at a McCain rally.
