I think I figured out the mormon woman comment. Your talking about the picture of the woman that says something about being a mormon under it? That is an add of some kind. I see these on FB and some of the blogs. I have never clicked on it to see just what they are advertising but I imagine it is the LDS in general or maybe a mormon match-making service or something like that. But anyway, it has nothing to do with the content of the blog.

Yeah, my mistake about the mormon woman, it was just an add. 9:30 am is early for me. Comment about Reagan still applies though.

I understand why you'd make this argument. I expected someone would. It is true that the conservative voter remembers Ron with gratitude and respect. But really, this goes to my point better than you'd first think. As much as the man was admired and appreciated you never saw conservative commentators speaking of a thrill running up their legs (or anywhere else) when listening to him speak - and he did give some darn good speeches. You'll never find any video of people crying and swooning in his presence. There were no parents or "educators" teaching children to sing songs to his glory, marching to his name, or evoking his name in prayer. You can find all of this with alarming frequency involving Obama. In his case, the liberal tendency to deify their leaders has come to an excessive and disturbing extreme - and comparisons to the rise of various totalitarian dictators is very apt. I am not trying to argue that we are on the edge of some sort of government melt down and take over (not at this time anyway) but I am saying this is alarming and needs to be honestly considered in light of all other such liberal love affairs in history. Blind devotion is dangerous.

Now, I understand most 'roun here are more liberal than conservative. I realize most vote democratic if they vote at all. I understand your natural bias and sympathies. I hope that this will not keep most from understanding that there is no way republicans would respond this way to even one as respected as Regan. And if Dubya had been hanging out with rapid race baters and haters the republicans would have risen up in outrage.

I recently read Ann Colters newest book

There's your first mistake. She's nothing but a fading attention whore who exists entirely to fan the flames of true believers, such as yourself (NOT meant in a derogatory sense - at all!) It's disgusting that she preys on the fears of good people, such as yourself. Stop listening to or reading her.
--- Quote --- Democrats like to create god-like personas for their political leaders and often use worshipful language in describing them and will become enraged at moderate and fully truthful criticism of them. You simply don't see anything like this from the right.

BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!!!!!!!
Surely you can't be serious!!!
Projection is a wonderful thing.
***edited to add: I'm not saying that there isn't valid criticism of Obama because there sure as hell is, but......wow.
BuzzKill:
I'm very serious.
Find me a tape of a crowd of people (or even a hand full) in tears at the site of Dubya, (or any conservative leader) speaking of thrills coursing along their body parts when he speaks, singing worshipful songs of praise to him, using Messianic titles to reference him and lifting up prayer to him, and I might think you have a point.
Colter is not one of my favorite commentators. I don't have the low opinion you do, but she is not a favorite. I have never before read anything she wrote. I wanted to read this one because of the history she was said to have included and how well research it was said to be. All true enough; She did make a number of very valid and interesting points. I simply don't enjoy her snarky sniping. I think it is more degrading to the overall message than in any way clever or witty. There is another book of similar theme I liked much better. It has a more scholarly tone with enough true wit to make it an enjoyable read: Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning by Jonah Goldberg
