Well just listen to yourself, Antonius: There are times when commitment to country trumps even commitment to family??!

What sort of “times” are you talking about, that demand a mother sacrifice the well-being of her children?

Any man worthy of the name will take a bullet for his wife or his children, or go off to war in their defense. That’s his duty.

But who would ask a wife and mother to put her country before her family? And what sort of woman would say “Yes”?!

Sheesh, FReepers seem to be losing our minds, exchanging our principles for partisan power.

A patriot.

Not that you would know anything about that.

I believe that Barack Obama may be the most dangerous person ever to run for the office of the presidency. At the very least, an Obama presidency will result in the further perversion of our court system--he will appoint radicals at every level because he is a radical.

He needs to be defeated.

If Sarah Palin on the ticket is what it takes to do that, then I'm all for it.

Do you know how many Moms we have serving our country right now in Iraq/Afghanistan?

I think you are the lone voice of reason out there. ;) Well, perhaps not the only one, but you've put it quite bluntly.

I think many are just so happy to FINALLY have a dog in this race (I'm not calling beautiful Sarah a dog!!), that exhuberance is overriding values for now.
