     Take your threats and your controlling behaviors and shove ‘em, JHS.

     To my knowledge Ms. Malkin has not hired you to moderate this blog. Nor has she brought you on board as a volunteer moderator.

     Trying to control the content and flow of conversation on someone elses’ blog - telling people when and when they can’t post, telling them what they can say or cannot say - is rude, inappropriate and extremely disrespectful.

     I’ve worked as a website/blog administrator for many years now, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that if you pulled this kind of stunt on one of MY blogs or websites, you’d be out the door on your ear. I have asolutely zero patience or tolerance for control freaks and mod wannabes.

     Ms. Malkin is a fellow professional, and I’m choosing to treat her like one.

     If you also respect Ms. Malkin then treat her like the professional that she is, and stop acting like an idiot. You’re not Lancelot, and she’s no Guinnevere.

     She’s more than capable of answering any questions that are posed to her on this blog by herself and without help from people like you. Like all site owner/admins who are concerned about their ‘brand’, she is here nearly every day and is certainly aware of what is being discussed.

     Or are you so naive as to think that Ms. Malkin doesn’t think through her posts very carefully before she puts them up? She does what she does and she says what she says for a very specific reason, and I’d like to know exactly what that reason is.

     Does she have the professional integrity to actually respond to my question, or is she going to try and gloss it over with silence and archivism?

     I suspect that I know the answer, but I’m really hoping that she proves me wrong.

     I know exactly what the topic is, and that’s why I suggested going back to it.

     But there’s plenty of room for my question here as well.

     It’s an important question to many of us, and it deserves an honest answer.

     No threats from me. No controlling behavior from me. I’m just responding to your threadjack.

     I see you’re still projecting as well. You know, they have medication for thet.

     Oh, one more thing - Michelle Malkin doesn’t answer to you. She doesn’t answer to me either, but then again I’m not the one frothing at the mouth over some percieved slight.

     If you say so.

     I see you’re still projecting as well. You know, they have medication for thet.

     And you’re a disrespectful, offensive little creep.

     Like I said earlier, JHS… I do the same type of work that Ms. Malkin does, elsewhere on the internet. And if you pulled this kind of cr*p on one of my blogs or websites, you’d be lying in the ditch alongside the information superhighway with your feet in the air and your head crammed up your arse.

     Oh, one more thing - Michelle Malkin doesn’t answer to you.

     No, she doesn’t.

     But she does answer to a great many men and women who are veterans, active-duty military personnel and their family members who are longtime readers here and supporters of Ms. Malkin. People who are becoming increasingly confused, upset and alarmed by the mixed messages coming from this weblog.

     Some clarification from Ms. Malkin would be very welcome at this juncture.

     The real threat to this country isn’t Mr. McCains’ moderate politics. The real threat to this country and indeed, to the entire Western world, is radical Islamic fundamentalism. Europe is going to be overrun in just 15-20 short years, and America is next on their list if we do nothing to stop it.

     We have five months until this election, folks, and a vicious enemy that is intent on bringing America to its’ knees.

     We have two men running for the position of Commander in Chief of the US Armed Forces: one who is a terrorist appeaser with a Marxist ideology, and the other a former POW who understands what terrorism is, and is committed to taking the fight to the enemy.

     I haven’t forgotten what happened on 9/11, and I’ll ask my fellow respondants here at MM not to forget it either. We may disagree on many things, but that item should never be one of them.

     It’s time to set aside the lesser issues that can be dealt with a bit farther on down the road, and get our collective priorities back in line.

     My opinion, and the last that I am going to say about it here.

     Ms. Malkin, I do hope that you can find the time to give this concerned military mother an honest response to an honest question.

     As for the fund raiser, thank you very much for organizing this. I’m giving up takeout food and gourmet coffee myself this weekend, so that I can send a batch of care packages along. I urge everyone here to do whatever they can to support this important effort.

     Good evening to you.

     and the trolling and attacks from Bill Grant and Irish Rose continue.

     They started with nothing positive to add, no desire for a real conversation, only invectives and angry diatribe directed at me. It was only near the end that Irish Rose actually became civil towards Michelle.

     There you have it. Is it any wonder why I don’t support McCain when this is the kind of response I get when I point out that McCain isn’t the great wonderful answer for Reagan Conservatives they say he is?

     You don’t have the foggiest idea what a “Regan Conservative” is. (Yes, I used quotes because I was quoting you.)
     Here:

     The fact of the matter is that Gov. Reagan gave Gov. Jerry Brown a run for his money – or should I say our money? – when it came to raising taxes here in California. But, in spite of the additional revenue, he was responsible in large part for the streets of our cities being turned into public latrines by the unwashed, the unwanted and the insane when, to save a few bucks, he oversaw the closing of California’s mental hospitals. He also signed the nation’s most liberal abortion bill. Although he had a change of heart a scant six months later, one never hears him condemned for flip-flopping on the issue.

     And, lest we forget, as president, he opened the floodgates to illegal aliens by signing an amnesty bill in the mid-’80s and, for good measure, appointed Anthony Kennedy and Sandra Day O’Connor to the Supreme Court, neither of whom was the answer to a conservative’s prayer. Frankly, as admirable as Reagan was in so many ways, I suspect that if he were seeking the GOP nomination this year, he’d be dismissed as a RINO by many of the party’s zealots.

     You regard yourself as a “Regan Conservative” when are targeting the most conservative candidate in the race for having a pre-presidental track record that is arguably more conservative then your role model.

     You seem to have had your mind made up for you. If coming along and posting information that is contrary to whatever provably wrong yet cherished belief you have (ie. “It changed the US Constitution… and it did that without the usual formality of a Constitutional Amendment.”) makes you uncomfortable perhaps you should retreat back to your “happy place” where reality is subject to your whims and your only defense is pedantic nonsense abut the definition of “affected”.

     and Bill Grant keeps proving me right. Because I don’t march in lock-step with him he says: “You don’t have the foggiest idea what a “Regan Conservative” is.”

     Sorry Bill. You don’t know what I know - and by your posts you aren’t interested in finding out what I know either. You embrace the fallacy of telling me what I know rather then asking me what I know. This is why you have no credibility.

     When you’re actually willing to listen rather than to just repeat your old discredited nonsense, then maybe we can have a conversation.
     Judging from what I’ve seen though, you’d prefer to stay a troll. No problem. I’ll just keep treating you like one.

     Keep repeating that to yourself. You must find it comforting.

     “You don’t know what I know

     Just what you have written.

     “This is why you have no credibility.”

     I can defend my assertions, you can’t. You are in no position to lecture about credibility when you can only hop on and call referenced posts “lies, projection and attacks”. Not only is that not a credible rebuttal, it’s whiny.

     “No problem. I’ll just keep treating you like one.”

     Right, you sure taught me a lesson with your whole affected/injured defense there, whelp. Your needy quest to save face by periodically popping up and declaring that you have been somehow proven “right” when you have basically made a fool out of yourself is just pathetic.

     and both Bill Grant and Irish Rose keep trolling on…

     Bill, of course, keeps throwing stuff against the wall, hoping something will stick. The thing is, no matter how many personal attacks adn lies he posts, it doesn’t reflect on me. You see, I’m not the one who ignores reality in favor of repeatedly refuted liberalisms. And that’s what Bill has been reduced to - posting already-refuted liberalisms.

     It’s guys like Bill that drive Conservatives away from McCain.

     Doesn’t Bill want McCain to win?

     You haven’t refuted anything, repeated or otherwise. Just whined that people were attacking you by challenging you to think for yourself. Not terribly conservative of you there whelp.

     “Hey Bill, are you laughing as hard as I am?”

     Actually, at this point I can hardly keep my eyes open.

     This has been illuminating if not frustrating and depressing. In my interactions with people who wrongly refer to themselves as “liberals” I have noticed that many dogmatically cling to their beliefs and perceptions regardless of whatever evidence to the contrary is presented to them. They often say that they “feel” such and such instead of that they “think” it. JHSII has adopted the same mindset, only he evidentially regards himself to be “conservative”.

     That anyone could remain on the fence in the face of a probable Obama presidency and still kid themselves in to thinking that they are acting on conservative principals is incredible. In my opinion it shows a disconnect with reality that would make me concerned about him having sharp objects or operating heavy machinery.

     In case you haven’t noticed, I am very concerned about where the country seems to be heading. Frustrated as well.

     “I’m gonna make some popcorn while genius here writes his Opus Magnificus.

     He wont. Can’t probably. Regardless Irish Rose, this isn’t going to be productive.

     Again, Cheers to you and your son. Regarding your question to Michelle Malkin, you might have luck if you contacted her directly.

     No sarc tag needed, this was your statement and since you’re making such a big deal out of it I’m asking you to elaborate.

     Go ahead, the stage is all yours and the mic is hot… tell us what you know.

     If you’re privy to some kind of elite information that makes you a genius and the rest of us rubes, now would be the time to say so.

     I’m a blue star mom with one child who is active duty (currently between deployments), and the second child going in this Fall. My third and youngest child, a son aged 16, is planning to enlist within the next two years.

     All three are going into the Marine Corps, and all three stand to serve under an Obama administration.

     For the longest time I considered this blog to be an island of conservative common sense n a world gone mad.

     These days I feel very anxious and frustrated after reading here, and once in a while I cry. Some days I’m too angry to cry, so I laugh because it’s the only thing that works… thats’ kind of where I am tonight.

     LOL, you folks must have a thing for Paris Island. In my family the only way for a male to graduate from the kiddie table at thanksgiving was to join the Navy. I am glad and relieved that there are still families like yours.

     Well laugh it up then Rose, it’s better then the alternative. There are still 134 days to the election and plenty can happen to turn this around. Ill be working to that end and I know you will be too.
