Michelle Malkin girds for 2014 GOP civil war
The Politico ^ | February 8, 2014 | Mackenzie Weinger

Posted on 02/08/2014 5:08:18 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Michelle Malkin doesn’t run away from fights, she runs toward them. And she’s running faster than ever headlong into the 2014 Republican primary battles on behalf of upstart conservative candidates who are mounting insurgent challenges to the GOP old guard.

Twitter is Malkin’s weapon of choice. Battles with her almost always devolve into wars, and those who follow the conservative social media scene know she has a proven formula online: Taunting quips from foes bring out the full force of her Twitter arsenal, with snappy replies, catchy hashtags and the mobilization of a legion of energized followers.

Malkin, 43, says she’s using her influence — and her confrontational approach — on behalf of candidates she deems worthy of it in this year’s midterm.

“I see the practically unlimited power that social media has to help push the issues and causes and people I care about,” Malkin told POLITICO in a recent interview. “I know what I’m good at.”(continued)

Yes, I know my heritage and embrace it fully.

I know my country too, which I shall never flee in cowardice and failure.

I realize having done so affords you the luxury of shooting off your sloppy mouth at a distance—in other words, of behaving as less than a man—but at the same time it offers us the comfort (and humor) of the image of you in permanent, chickenhearted retreat.

With the death of Breitbart, Malkin is the only major figure on our side who understands new media. The GOPe ignores her at their peril.

I have been married to my wife for 43 years in March.

My daughter is almost her age.

That said, I have great respect for Malkins grasp of the world.

I should be sorry for not feeling your pain, but as a senior citizen, I live to enjoy my final years.
I did not leave America, America left me.
Be sure and join the “dog in a manger” group on FR.
Also, post a list of what YOU are doing to defeat the Marxist government.
By the way...what do you think of those founders that left THEIR countries?

Ditto what Bobby said, Whitey. Consider this your invitation to join us Dawg Soldiers in our ongoing efforts to keep that lying, smarmy, cowardly traitor in check. Dawgs, can I get a woof, woof on that?

Oh yeah..Alex, I'm still waiting for you to post that quote, you stinkin' liar.

Woof, woof!

To: Kartographer

Have bad things happened to out great nation over these past years? Yes. Is it anything we can’t fix? No. Has anyone ever in the history of the world ever got anything that was truly worth a damn that they did have to work for or fight for? NO!

I have said this before and I now say it again; I would rather die standing shoulder to shoulder with friends and family protecting our own on the soil that my forefathers bleed and died to protect than to live out my life old, alone, and more than likely broke in some third world rat trap. Yes I might die under the heel of some tin pot despot or over whelmed by his zombies, but I will at least be able to look those family members in the eye when I hopefully meet them in the next life and more importantly I will be able to say to my God:

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith”
2 Timothy 4:7

But I can not abide the thought of dying a foreigner among strangers, who do not understand or have knowledge of my ancestors, my history or my culture and there living out my days on earth like a shadow, without hope or a land of my own.

Now you intend to take a tally of how much anyone contributes, really?

C’mon, Alex you beat your chest every thread of how proud you are to live a life of bliss, and if you were to be honest with yourself you would admit that nobody begrudges you that luxury.

When you taunt and poke others in the eye and demand to know what they do to take on this out of control government, what exactly are you trying to achieve?

I would suggest that it is nothing more than a desire to make someone feel ever more helpless than they already do.

Live you life, enjoy your island, your wife, your baby, and try to be kind to people who do not share your idea of how to slip out before things get even more dire. Just try and do it with a measure of class and concern, if in fact you truly give a care about people in and of America. I doubt that is asking too much.

As for your silly behavior of labeling me and others as manger dogs, it might be time to retire that nonsense. Your feud with wku man is well documented and at the very least I would think that a man of such incredible insight such as yourself, would acknowledge when a mistruth, ie. lie, has been shared, it should be retracted.

One final note, I am not a child, far from it. For a grown and retired man of your advanced age, would it not be of great value for you to perhaps give some honest insight into what YOU would do if you were here, or what you might suggest others do, as you have such a broad view from where you reside. It seems no matter how decent one tries to talk to you, they are met with a rather impatient and smug ‘I know best and you are a dumb a** for hanging out in America’ attitude....and you really wonder why anyone takes issue with that?? C’mon, be a man.

Well, I am sorry that you are a very unhappy camper.
Show me where I have “poked fun” at or disparaged anyone.
Yes, I do feel pain for those that live under the Obamination.
Should I be saying “stiff upper lip, all will be well soon?”
No, dear, it is not likely to be better so soon. Accept it.
I chose not to.
Keep in mind..If the founding fathers had such a great life in their home country, there may not be America as you knew it.
When you have the solution, get back to me.

Again, you simply have the worst manners for a grown man.
I never said I had the solutions, I was stating that for one so far away, perhaps you could share ideas vs. sitting there and chanting how America is oh so horrid and run for your lives!

Jeez Alex, should we ALL leave? Just hit the road and leave it all to the libs and illegals? I mean really, what are you thinking?

Your comment about the Founding Fathers is indicitive of your very simple mindedness and/or your very immature outlook. I am living TODAY, I am living THIS today, if you believe there is someway that a person, a group of people can slow down this train wreck, then please, share it!

You really can’t stay on point can you?

No, that makes her an American of Phillipine ancestry.

Why are you so obsessed with accidents of birth?

The one thing I know about the Founders is that they weren't the Hiders.
