No. I am a conservative that can think for himself and I refuse to slavishly follow any politician du jour.

I don’t dislike Sarah Palin. She makes a lot of good points. But she’s not the end-all, be-all conservative politician. She’s a former half-term governor of a state with fewer than 750,000 people and a failed Vice-Presidential candidate.

Unfortunately, many in conservative circles think she’s the Second Coming of Ronald Reagan. She’s not. She’ll never be President. She’ll never run for any elected office.

She knows she has a cult following. Sometimes she uses that to get good people elected. Now it seems that she’s going to use it to make money through subscriptions to her website from her cult followers.

Cults of personality are dangerous things. They have done everything from keeping Kennedys out of jail to causing the slaughter of tens of millions. I think they should be avoided at all costs.

You are a blind follower of the cult of Palin, and have made my case about her cult followers for me over and over. Thanks for that, anyway.

There is nothing even slightly cultic about Palin and her fans.

It’s called projection and it explains your passion and drive to keep pursuing Palin and conservatives so harshly and determinedly.

Look at what is really on your mind, it comes out in your words, you are susceptible to cult thinking and think in cult terms.

“that can think for himself and I refuse to slavishly follow any politician du jour.”

“she’s not the end-all, be-all conservative politician.”

“the Second Coming of Ronald Reagan.”

“She knows she has a cult following”

“subscriptions to her website from her cult followers.”

“Cults of personality are dangerous things”

“the slaughter of tens of millions. I think they should be avoided at all costs”

“You are a blind follower of the cult of Palin”
