    Good Morning and Welcome to the folks that make the cut to sign-up. Remember to watch your language (this isn’t DU or Huff) and have to agree with On-my-soap-box and Old Tanker on home many trolls will expose themselves this week. Not that we don’t mind matching wits with them, however it is just not fair to engage with an unarmed opponent. :D

    Have a great Monday! I have a pretty full day today so will be lurking when I can.

    Where do the democrats come up with the snobs. They brought us Al Gore, John Kerry and now Obama (btw: even Punahou is known for its snobs). Although no fan of Hillary, what is with the Annie Oakley joke. How would Obama like to be called Stepinfetchit.

    I just wanted to say Thank You for the access to such a great resource for what’s going on in our country.

    I’m afraid that I am lacking in the wit department though and I tend not to comment very often because of being over cautious about making a fool out of myself.

    Wow…I am really here. I’ve been lurking a while. I’m a conservative 30-something from Georgia. I used to formally be a Republican, but in Georgia, we don’t have to declare our party affiliation, so I didn’t. I consider myself more of a conservative-leaning Libertarian these days. Anyway, I won’t spend more time talking about myself, just wanted to say hello, and thanks to Michelle for opening up the ability to comment.

Probably won’t say much but glad to be one of Michelle Malkin’s “official” groupies!

The amount of content on this site, Newsbusters.org, Moonbattery.com, redstate.com, and others is amazing! These sites form a safety net for conservative ideas — like a web — hey, maybe this web-tranet thingy really will catch on!

    Like Michelle, I graduated from Oberlin College ‘84. (I also grew up there so I’m officially a “townie”.) It’s easily 98% liberal (the percentage of town and college voting in the last presidential election) yet the majority of the faculty and students fully believe they are “more fully informed” about life, politics and world issues. I love to go back to town and poke holes in their beliefs as easily as poking holes in tissue paper with a pencil. When I attended, I was a liberal. But as a student, the college taught me to research issues, gather as much information as I could and make informed decisions. Little did they know that someone would actually do that! And as a result, I reluctantly (at first) realized the roots of liberalism were not “new” or “progressive” but actually mirrored the belief’s of the worlds greatest mass murdering fascist communistic dictators. I didn’t want to believe it but the truth won out. Thanks for being brave, Michelle. I admire you greatly!

    Michelle,

    For the times in the past when I couldn’t comment I would like to say Happy Birthday, Happy Anniversary, Merry Christmas, Happy Easter, Glad you were able to spend time with your family, Congratulations on all of your accomplishments, enjoyed the times you have been on Fox News, glad your’e not having to deal with the “spitter”, hope to see you again on Fox with your own show.

    See-Dubya,
    Thanks for filling in for Michelle when she needs your help, your postings are always an excellent read.

    Thanks to both of you for the excellent way you keep us informed, entertained and up-to-date in the attempt to keep the politicians honest.
