Whoooa! We have some fragile egos out there. This is a post pertaining to political discourse. Thank God ( I can say God can't I ?) our founding fathers were thick skinned or we all would still be saluting the Union Jack. "Mental midget" I agree to accept, but maroon no I'm white, if it were meant to be "moron" you'd think so if you witnessed my golf swing. However like you I am a concerned and dedicated American who served his country willingly and proudly thus earning you and me the right to voice an opinion. So if I offended anyone that was not my intent. It was my intent to express the low esteem I have for Messrs Obama and Schumer. It was my intent to express affection for a woman who has demostrated intestinal fortitude, not only said she was anti-abortion but demonstrated her conviction to that belief, who showed the all boy network that she could beat them at their own game and much more. I do not know that I would vote for Sarah but I do know that I have more faith and belief in what she stands for than most other pols. Sarah Palins statement concerning hunting is no more or less silly than Obama's statement concerning his cross country campaign in all 58 states. To reasonable and fair minded people its called "human error" usualy attributed to being tired. I hope those of you who were offended stay the course and let's continue to have open and free flowing dialogue because this country never has needed it more than it does now. God Bless America and God Bless You.
