Thank you, Finny. I appreciate that, and the way you understood my feelings about this as well. Thank you.

I had some VERY good discussions with several folks over in the comments at FB last night/early this morning, and after a while I could see where they were coming from, and why I was perhaps wrong in my initial feelings on this statement. I only wish she would’ve worded it a little differently so as to not give the liberals more ammunition against us, but at this point I think ANYTHING she says is going to be twisted.

I will say that I also had some fun arguing about the BC issue as well with the libs who come to her page to try to demoralize her supporters. Met a few new friendly conservatives as well! All in all, it was a good night — just wish I had gotten more sleep! LOL

Thanks again! There is no way I will STOP supporting Palin, and I’m old enough (and experienced enough in politics now to understand) that I will not always agree with everything she says or does. However, I do STILL believe she is our best hope going forward...

My stars, what a truly gracious FReeper you are! The thanks are all on my side for showing me how it's done! :^)

I wish Obama would produce his birth certificate, and I have nothing but contept for the idea that those who ask it of him are somehow kooks or nutcases -- the insulting "truther" label is contemptible, especially coming from Republicans and conservatives who allow themselves to be controlled by fear of popular scorn. Palin has never scorned "truthers" or even used the derogatory term, as far as I know, and that's absolutely enough for me; as you know, I think both of her answers on this were extremely smart and square.

IMO, the real responsiblity for pressuring Obama to show his birth certificate lies NOT with Obama's political opponents nor we the voting public. It lies SQUARELY, is SQUARELY the job, the responsibility, the MORAL DUTY of the Fourth Estate -- the news media.

It is the REAL villain in this thing, and the true traitor to our Founding Fathers and the Constitution -- even more than Obama. Obama would never have happened if not for a traitorous Fourth Estate. Obama is a product of its betrayal, not the cause of it.
