Sarah Palin keeps gay men from dating in Chicago
We read a great piece on Sarah Palin today over at one of our favorite sites, www.Conservatives4Palin.com, that struck right to the heart of the matter regarding how unhinged Palin makes the Leftists. We have never, ever in our lives witnessed hate as strong as what these loons launch at her. It tops even George W. Bush and Cheney hate. It tops REAGAN hate. It’s unprecedented.
During Thanksgiving, all of us here did various volunteer assignments and stopped off for drinks here and there at various people’s houses, where we are always introduced as “our friend Sebastian, who is a Hillary Dem that likes Sarah too” or “Kevin, who is gay and used to be a Democrat but no longer after how they treated Hillary Clinton” or “Robby, who writes for that website and we can’t believe he wants to work for Sarah Palin”.
And, of course, the people introducing us know how much this will stir up, because the low-information fops in the room spill chardonnay all over themselves, like they would if Cheyenne Jackson was in the room and ripped off his face to reveal Bea Arthur. Their brains literally can’t process who’s standing before them. They’re just dumbfounded. And then, when they regain the ability to speak, they start talking about how stupid Sarah Palin is, how irrelevant she is, and whatever else Anderson Cooper or Rachel Maddow told them to say.
If she’s so stupid, so irrelevant, and has no future in politics, then why does she induce brain aneurysms in these people, at the mere mention of her name?
There’s a great line in the C4P article above that hits on this meme, asking how often the musings of irrelevant people on Facebook, no less, warrant joint sessions of Congress by the current president for rebuttal.
We all flash back to this last August when the Chicago Diner, a vegetarian restaurant on Halsted in Boystown, used Sarah Palin shamelessly to commit charitable fraud. At the Market Days Festival, while other restaurants had tip jars for their employees to solicit money from the crowd, the Chicago Diner decided to create fake “Sarah Palin Retirement Fund” jars that promised to give the money collected to Sarah Palin as she resigned her governorship and entered private life. Chicago Diner, a for-profit commercial enterprise, is forbidden under Illinois commerce clauses from misrepresenting itself as a “fund” for any purpose, though they refused to put a disclaimer on the jars clarifying the money was not going to Palin because, and we quote the manager we confronted about this, “then we would get less tips that way”.
When we talked about the Chicago Diner breaking the law and doing this last August, we caught a lot of heat for it in the LGBTQ community here in Boystown, with lots of nasty emails saying, “How can you stand up for Sarah Palin?”, “The Chicago Diner can do whatever it wants because we hate Palin,” and “It doesn’t matter if Chicago Diner is breaking the law because they are making fun of Palin and that’s good”.
It was crazy. The language the Left uses to lash out makes sailors blush. Marines have never heard some of the things these people toss around like so many non-dairy soy milkshakes. To think, they eat with those mouths. It’s a wonder they aren’t riddled with cankers.
We still get people who say, “Aren’t you those DeMcCrats for McCain guys? I hate you guys. If you are gay, you must be Democrat,” because we canvassed Boystown for McCain/Palin in 2008 (mostly for Palin). So, standing up for Palin against the Chicago Diner, standing up to Sidetracks and other bars when they play misogynistic anti-Palin videos, and pushing back against whatever Anderson Cooper or Chris Matthews’ latest missive against Palin is, has meant being on the receiving end of a lot of nastiness for us on our home turf.
And, honestly, we say BRING IT.
Read that C4P article, which references Ayn Rand a lot, too. One of the key points is that both Rand and Palin tapped into an innate goodness in America, a can-do spirit, an entrepreneurialism that’s so lacking in the Left. The more they attack Palin, or attack us for standing up for her, the more we realize how little in common we have with the Left at all.
Besides hating Palin, what do they stand for?
Besides hating Hillary Clinton in the primaries, what did they stand for then?
Besides accusing anyone who doesn’t support Dr. Utopia of being a racist, what do they ever really have to say?
Let them eat their hate sandwiches and drink their irrational milkshakes inside the Chicago Diner all day, coming up with new charity scams, or whatever it is they do in there, but we’re going to keep being voices against the Left’s sexism and misogyny here in Boystown, whether they like it or not.
At Thanksgiving, someone told us all that we’d forever be single as long as we kept supporting Palin. “This is different than Hillary,” they said, “because most gay men love Hillary. But they hate Sarah. If you keep supporting Sarah, no one will want to date you — they won’t be able to take it. They will go crazy.”
We don’t know if that’s true or not, and frankly don’t care. We went all-in with defeating Dr. Utopia back in 2007 and won’t stop until his socialist agenda itself is stopped. We’ve never left campaign mode, and have honestly, between the lot of us, dated more people than any of us could ever want to date, so we aren’t too concerned about that.
This nation is more important than that nonsense.
There have been a couple of guys some of us have liked who we’ve wanted to go out with, and then they said something nasty, out of the blue, about Palin. We’d stop them and say, “Well, actually, we like Governor Palin, and let us tell you why”. And then we would talk about her record as a reformer, her belief in controlled government, her mission to get this country energy independent. Their eyes would glaze and the two of us would realize we’d never even be friends, let alone anything else, but we’d make them listen to as much of the non-Matthews/Cooper/Olbermann take on Palin as we could cram in.
It’s what we plan on doing until such time as we can officially work for her campaign in 2012, at which point we’re sure the usual suspects around here will become completely unhinged again. We bet there will be more rocks through our windows and hate mail galore.
But so be it.
We went rogue long before going rogue was even a concept, apparently.

“We went rogue long before going rogue was even a concept, apparently.”
Lovely history . . . It’s sad that supporting someone who believes in the strength of the individual over massive government is now “going rogue”. I became a registered republican while living in a sea of feminist leftist – I’m sure you have now discerned your true friends from the others by now.
I don’t have the words to express how much I enjoy this blog. It is simply wonderful.
Do be careful boys, there is a lot of hate out there and you are standing up against it.
Reading your new posts is a highlight of every day.
I second this on all points. Especially after your previous post on the late-night crime wave in Boystown. Have you taken self-defense classes? Please do!
I know what you mean, Jean.
Guys, this piece is BRILLIANT. And oh so funny (yeah, and sad…but funny!). Continue to hold out for men as intelligent and astute as you are! They’re out there, and when the time is right, you’ll recognize each other.
In the meantime, we all have more important fish to fry.
xoxoxox, and grateful,
Garlic
I’m with you, Jean. I love the Boyzzzzz.
As a gay man, I love them both. Fuck these idiots.
We love the men of HillBuzz and we love Anthony!
Eff those idiots–SGLBTQ– is right!
We really do need a logo, symbol, slogan, color, or something to attract others who are also nonpartisan supporters of what’s good for our country.
Carrying the Palin bookjacket around is one great idea, especially if you also have a Hillary campaign button displayed on your person.
(If you need fresh cause for exasperation, try finding the current Palin book tour schedule, or information about today’s stop, via Google. All I found earlier today was more gratuitous Sarah-bashing.)
Hmmm. Isn’t there some hanky code in some gay bars? If you wear this color hanky around your arm, you want x. If you wear another color elsewhere, you want y. I don’t know. I read about it once and it had me very confused.
I like the image of the moose with red, white, and blue. I’d like to find one to put on my truck.
Yeah . . . a gay guy with a pickup. It’s almost lesbian of me. Honestly, I just have it to haul mulch for my garden . . . flower garden . . . NATIVE prairie flower garden. Oh god, I’ll never be butch enough.
LOL on the codes. Just don’t wear orange unless you mean it.
Personally, I think we should reserve the moose for Sarah herself.
We should use a PUMA. That works for those registered Republican, Democrat and Libertarian – or any other party. As for us independents, we’ve always been PUMA’s.
Besides, Pumas for Palin just.. works.
Funny you should say that. I read an article over at Ace of Spades HQ on the very left leaning Google, a couple of hours ago. They suggest using Bing as your search engine. I have Bing because it came standard on my new laptop.
There is also the search engine “PalinIt” that used to use Google but now is connected to Bing. Anyway if you use it, funds are given conservative organizations.
Hey, it’s great! Thanks!
Do the haters know that as Gov, Sarah vetoed a bill that would take away benefits from gay couples because she thought that was unconstitutional ? Probably why there’s not much love for her from the GOP either. She doesn’t play politics with people’s lives.
Yup, she upheld the AK’s constitution regardless of her personal view re: gay marriage. She got hammered by the righties for that up in AK but for her sticking to the law was more important. Her best friend and college roomate, Tilly, was gay and Palin shrugged her shoulders and said, “doesn’t change anything she’s my friend and I love her.”
I’m pretty sure that if the people voted for gay marriage Palin as President would enforce it regardless of her personal views. She’d fight tooth and nail to make sure the voters’ will and the Const. was upheld. I seriously doubt Pres. Obama would have the testicular fortitude to do the same.
Palin doesn’t legislate her personal beliefs. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
here, here!!!
With this one act she has done more for equality, fairness, and Constitutionality than Dr. Utopia has or will do in his one term.
What is wrong with people that they cannot see this?
I truly struggle with being around people who are bleeding brain liberals…I don’t use heart, because I don’t think they have an American heart. In fact, I try to remove myself from having to deal with them. If I do have to deal with them, I carry a book around (before Going Rogue, it was anything that had Reagan on it) or I wear my Conservatives4Palin sweatshirt.
People have literally come up to me and pointed at my book or my shirt and say, “I can’t believe you are wearing that or reading that.” I answer back…”and I can’t believe you aren’t.” That usually shuts them up.
I love your reply to those liberals, MizzouGal! May I use it, also?
Yes, of course.
I guess I’m not sure what to call these kind of liberals – because I don’t think they have a brain either.
“bleeding pea-brain liberals?”
I can’t believe the Chicago Diner would do that! That place got voted best vegetarian restaurant by some vegetarian magazine or other and I was dying to try it if I ever went to Chicago. And now I can’t.
nah. arrogant dykes who don’t wash their hands.
I am so proud of you boys!!! All I can say is Rogue is Sexy!!!
People are always drawn to people who know what they stand for and aren’t afraid to make that stand.
Don’t believe the haters, there is someone for each of you Hillbuzz Boys!!!
The “haters” really are going over the line these days. They lie, cheat, steal, bully and intimidate and their entire existence depends on the above or they lose. That pretty much says it all.
Love you guys! I check in several times a day to keep up with your musings and have told others about you. Keep up the great work, and stay safe out there, okay?
Hi there, I found you guys from C4P and I love the unique voice that is you guys, proudly speaking your opinion (in a creative way) here in the blogosphere. Kudos to you guys and recognizing how great Sarah Palin is.
Good on you guys. I stumbled across your website from another and I haven’t left. You two hit it right on the head about leftists and liberals. Thank you for being yourselves and spit in the eye of anyone says nay.
Thanks for the great post, Hillbuzz. I spend a lot of time over on C4P as “Recovering Democrat” …
This may be wishful thinking, but I believe Sarah Palin has a chance to TRULY bring this country together. She is the anti-Obama. As such she is everything he only pretends to be: a pragmatic reformer, a post-partisan uniter.
I realize that the “unity” seems a way off now. It seems impossible, frankly. But I have a little dream in my heart that after 4 years of the Fraud-In-Chief, the TRUTH of Sarah Palin will seem as refreshing as a cool breeze on a hot day.
Sarah had an 88% approval rating in libertarian Alaska.
I still have hope that people will give her the chance to help this country. Even though Reagan was despised by certain segments of the population, he remained very popular among the vast majority of Americans.
Recovering Democrat! Love your remarks over at C4P! *heart*
TexMex
Thank you, Gentlemen, for treating Hillary, Sarah, and by extension, all us women with respect. This Texas girl/woman/lady appreciates you all.
DITTO!
You’ll love this–Katha Pollitt writes a condescending column on Sarah and her readers respond most gratifyingly:
http://www.thenation.com/doc/20091214/pollitt
Bypass the article itself if you wish, but don’t miss the Web Letters.
I liked the letter that referred to the fact that the Nation not only wrote a hit book on Palin, but made it look similar just to sell books. The Nation officially made itself a joke with that book. Hurricane Katrina van der whatever can go on This Week forever if she wants, but she’s the editor of hack opinionism.
what you typed plus 10!
I thought the Nation was a comedy magazine? You mean they think the stuff they write is real? LOL
BTW, read the letters, it’s downright inspiring to see liberal type people waking up to Sarah’s charms
Szoo, thanks for that!
Those letters demonstrate a resistance to the hivemind that I did not know was our there.
I would have expected most readers of that blog to applaud the author.
Very encouraging.
Does anyone actually read that tripe they write? It has got to be the most tedious publication to try to read through, aside from being a bile filled pedantic study in irrelevancy.
I only read one post that agreed, the rest ripped the author a new one. I think some are waking up, or at least learning that if they don’t speak up, silence is viewed as agreement.
Katha Pollitt’s always been such a jerk. Why does she still have a job, anyway?
Hillbuzz boys,
I am so sorry that you are being treated so badly by people who should recognize you as people who are fighting for their liberty.
This old broad on a small Kansas farm admires you and wishes you well. You have given me hope, just as I was afraid all was lost.
Maybe we really can stop this crazy turn to socialism.
If you all ever want a couple of days away from the big city, you are welcome to visit here. We’ll teach you to shoot the target of your choice, and have great margaritas afterwards. And, you can go home with dozens of fresh eggs from my goofy chickens, who are laying like crazy, now that the Farmer’s market season is over!! LOL!
Love you guys! Hope to be able to meet you some day -
Have recently found your blog and it is great!
You have a new fan – a fellow Chicagoan living down under in NZ.
You guys rock… cheers, LisaGinNZ
You know who I’d like to smack? Joy Behar.
You get the left cheek and I’ll take the right cheek
I really don’t get the HLN management on giving her a show. They must have brainstormed by asking, “who is the most annoying person, guaranteed to bring in low ratings…..Let’s get Joy Behar on the phone and offer her a show”
serously CNN is totally out of tough.
seriously out of touch, I mean.
out of “tough” applies as well:0
Joy Behar talks with the stylist for Sarah Palin
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSBi_vk__YY
Ha! Wow, by the end of this segment the stylist is looking at Joy like she’s the biggest idiot she’s ever met. Did Behar really cite Levi Johnston as a source!? Haha. That’s sad. I loved that the stylist is coming out to set this record straight.
The stylist is absolutely correct. A nat’l convention is the red carpet of politics. God forbid Palin et al showing up in street clothes. Behar all but admitted the Palins were going to be mocked either way: event appropriate clothes or not.
Bottom line: Piss off Joy. Your’re a sh*t stain and only your mother likes you.
I do not understand how that woman, Behar, is on the air.
Honest. I don’t get it. I write funnier grocery lists. She is NEVER FUNNY!!! Ever. She is shrill, angry and perpetually bitchy…and none of it in a ‘good’ way.
I once read her ‘academics.’ She has a Master’s Degree in English. O. M. G!!! She was a public school teacher (she is dumb as a brick…and I am insulting building materials). Did you hear her ‘take’ on Black (trully…she said it is RAAACIST) Friday. Even Whoopi was like, WTF???
(And no!!!! I did NOT watch the View. I will never watch the View…it was a YouTube ‘This Chick is Nutz’ post.)
Sorry to all the women out there in varying degrees the same life change, but that woman is the poster girl for long term menopausal deficiencies. She is off her rocker! She is annoying, ney she is horrifying. She is the ultimate insecticide, since you simply have to tune into her show to have everything that crawls and flies within 500 feet of the tube keel over and die.
Joy’s Good Ship Menopause sailed a long time ago (born 1943), so she can’t use the hormone roller coaster as an excuse for her vile disposition and obnoxious behavior. She’s an insecure, hateful, jealous harridan who denigrates any woman she perceives as being better looking, wittier or smarter than herself … which is pretty much every woman on the planet.
Nah, I bet she was always like that.
wow granny!! don’t hold back on poor lil ole Joy. I wonder if that is really her name. Her parents must have known they were perpetrating a sick joke when they gave her that moniker.
I threat the chicks on the View like an oppositional moral compass…if the’re against something, then I’m good person for being for it and visa versa (I’ve only seen the show twice…too much).
As for Behar….. I give her none of my time or attention.
Your site is an inspiring read!
Regarding the prevalent and rampant misogyny toward conservative women, here is my recent personal experience. Two long-time women friends, self-styled “independent” Democrats at the voting booth, have recently erupted with fits of venom toward iconic Sarah P., whom I have been admiring alongside a long list of conservative bloggers, such as your site. Now what would provoke otherwise intelligent, sensible, sane, responsible, and very accepting women to trash a book they haven’t read by a woman they cannot bear to look at?!
One theory that matches the situation is the Freudian theory of psychological projection, which has is that what we deny about the sewage hidden in our subconscious, we in turn project upon our perceived enemies (competitors included). Nazis, liberal fascists and muslims are masters of this sort of denial and projection. So it seems are the bobble-heads of MSM. It’s like their psychic sewage is floating as scum to the surface for reexamination.
Now I don’t really want to know what psychic demons ferment in my friends’ subconscious vaults, ready to spew; but I think it advisable to stay a safe distance away. Clearing that deluded stuff is a job for professionals, to be sure. Meanwhile, I look toward wiser friends.
I think it’s unadmitted jealousy. They’re miserable their lives having pursued the feminist dream and ideals. Maybe they’ve had abortions or forgone having kids. Maybe they’ve never married or had bad marriage. Maybe they had a 4.0 at Princeton, got a partnership in a lawfirm at 25 and drive a Porche and they’re STILL simply unhappy with who they are. They have miserable holidays, forgotten birthdays and their vacations are solo.
And along comes Sarah— beautiful, bright, well loved by family and friends, a hunk of a hubby that adores her (and she him) a house full of kids and a clearly abortable child that she decided have and love.
Most of all, she’s happy…REALLY happy and people love her. She could walk away and go home to a house full of happiness and love.
THAT’s what gets them….they thought they could have it all and instead, Sarah is the one who does.
I agree. Their kids, if they have them, were being raised by nannies while Sarah was canvassing door to door with little Track and Bristol on their sled behind her.
Besides, Sarah and Bristol, just by existing, have basically blown up most the the Palin-hating feminists’ arguments for why abortion is “necessary.” Fetuses with Down Syndrome need to be allowed to be aborted because those babies will live miserable lives and their parents will suffer under the stress! Women need to be allowed to have abortions so their careers won’t be burdened down by children! Teenage girls need to be allowed to have abortions because otherwise they won’t be educated! Unless a baby is conceived in ideal circumstances, s/he and the parents will have miserable, miserable lives!
I’d be willing to bet that a lot of them had abortions and told themselves it was necessary if they wanted to finish school or have a career. Then Sarah becomes mayor, governor, VP candidate, and political sensation and they realize that everything they told themselves about why they had to have an abortion was a lie.
“…Then Sarah becomes mayor, governor, VP candidate, and political sensation and they realize that everything they told themselves about why they had to have an abortion was a lie.”
You hit it. Not just because of the abortions, but also because she’s attractive, non-neurotic, selfless… and obviously a lot happier with her life than they are with theirs. She’s the poster gal for the Judeo-Christian virtues that they’re trying to annihilate.
In a nutshell, Palin Derangement Syndrome.
You have a great point, Michael F. For the men who hate Palin, I think it stems from some latent misogyny that they suppress when it somces to liberalism and let fly when it comes to Sarah. Part of that could be due to sexual frustration over the fact that conservative women won’t sleep with them as readily.
If I were a guy I would totally date you guys!
Here is to wishing you all happy and sane relationships!
Day after day, the Hillbuzz guys challenge and entertain me. Some can challenge; some can entertain. Few can do both. I think you guys are awesome. And I hope you find your own Mr. Right. . . . Best wishes from a fan!
God bless you for standing for truth. I have seen the eye glaze many times. I have lost friends, and the ones I still have do not discuss politics with me. I feel that you are all challenging the establishment, and that you are causing people to really question what they believe. Or think they believe. I guarantee you have numerous “lurkers” that visit this site. Truth is addictive, even if one is not able to digest it all at once.
Just like blacks, gays need to see how they are being used by the democratic party. And we need more gay conservatives to run for office, as well as black conservatives. Turn the entire democratic party on its head.
Gay and black conservatives getting elected for office would do a bit for turning the Republican party on its head too. Which would be no bad thing.
You’re real patriots, guys. Thanks for employing both your minds and your spines in the service of America.
A while back you were talking about the fact that people need something to blame before they’ll retract support for someone who’s turned out to be a mistake. I keep thinking that if people could just repeatedly hear Obama in his own words from the campaign, placed up against current reality in office, more people would just turn against him outright, with a scapegoat or without! Clips of him railing about the importance of Afghanistan contrasted with his current “dithering”. Promises of transparency, with congressional bills posted for public discussion, bipartisanship, etc contrasted with reality. All of his whitewashed socialist statements during the campaign and quickly-dismissed radical and corrupt associations put up against what informed Americans now know. Remember the Biden local TV news interview (Florida, I think) in which the anchor asked about Marxist views? Biden acted incredulous and insulted, then the campaign banned the TV station from ever receiving another interview. How can we get Americans to remember, open their eyes,and LOOK?
Evidently, the arabs are sick of hearing his voice, already.

Well he has always been a gasbag. I can’t help but wonder what is taking everyone so long to realize this fact.
I linked this to my FB page, if you don’t mind. Great read! Keep up the fight.
Sarah Palin is an unjustly vilified wife, mother, and reformer whose likability cannot be tarnished by the unhinged, woman-bashing Obamabot leftists.
Ayn Rand was a twisted, un-American nutjob whose selfish psychobabble is nice when you’re a 18 year college freshman, but laughable once you grow up and realize the world does not revolve around you. Well most people realize that, the rest become objectivists. Her followers brought down the American economy, which should be enough to consign her to the dustpan of history. But of course, even Nazism still has its head-in-the-sand followers.
Sarah Palin does not deserve such a comparison. The two women would hate each others guts, but only Sarah would be right. C4Palin’s article is way, way off on that one.
I seriously think that a lot of the gay guys who hate Sarah Palin so vehemently do so because they miss being able to unite over hating Anita Bryant. “Conservative woman? Was in a beauty pageant? Has styled brown hair? Hey, guys, it’s the new Anita! Let’s get our hate on like it’s 1978!”
I should imagine many gay guys don’t even know who Anita Bryant is. I am 40 (that’s ancient in gay years, by-the-way), and I only barely remember her. She was from Florida, fought against gay rights, and advertised orange juice.
I was 9 in 1978, but perhaps more politically aware than others my age. Jimmy Carter turned me into a Republican. Ronald Reagan cemented it. “Coming out” didn’t change that and it didn’t change my commitment to Jesus either. I was both Republican and Christian (not in that order) before I knew what gay was.
“Coming out” didn’t change that and it didn’t change my commitment to Jesus either”
As it should not have!!God bless you!
No, I bet a bunch if not all of the younger ones would – she was in “Milk”.
Okay . . . cool. I don’t know “Milk.” Thanks for the correction. At the risk of exposing my ignorance (and nothing else–this is a family site, mind you!, is “Milk” a musical or film? Just curious. Is it any good?
qr4j: For some reason your post doesn’t have a reply link, so I’m replying to my own post. “Milk” was the biopic about Harvey Milk that was released in November 2008 and got Sean Penn another Oscar. I thought it was really good; I think Sean Penn’s a nutcase as a person, but he’s a good actor, and if you watch “Milk” and the documentary “The Times of Harvey Milk” you can see how he really got Harvey’s character and mannerisms down.
Palin has never attacked Gays in the way Anita Bryant did!
You do Palin no service by comparing her to a true Homophobe like Bryant.
Bryant attempted to overturn anti-discrimination ordinances in Dade County; Palin has never done anything similar in her political career.
Bryant was mentally ill. Check out her Playboy interview for an insight into her deranged mind. In it, Anita raves on and on about Gay Men drinking sperm. This rather specific and narrow topic really fascinated her.
So, Palin is NOT Bryant
And
Bryant is NOT Palin.
They are two seperate individuals, who just happen to be conservative women.
Did I say that *I* thought they were alike? Of course they’re nothing alike, but I don’t think a bunch of shallow gay liberals would care.
Palin might be a good way to screen dates. Anybody who hates her doesn’t bode well, because who wants to date somebody filled with irrational hatred towards somebody they don’t even know and who has never done anything to them? That person probably watches a lot of TV, has no life, and definitely doesn’t think for themselves.
I’ve had to start screening my friends by that standard as well, unfortunately. Still love them, but with a long-handled spoon.

If this trend continues, she has the nomination in the bag.
Hillbuzz guys:
That was an inspirational post to ALL people who support Palin, smaller government, and a strong military. Believe it or not, that type of hate exists in other communities as well, especially, in the suburbs. People like to think they are so “intellectual,” and “cosmopolitan,” that they would never support a hayseed hick from, gasp, Alaska. All they do is hunt moose up there, right?
Your courage and sacrifice is an example to everyone who is fighting for those values. Did you guys ever get a chance to meet Sarah?
Has anyone read this new book? “The Persecution of Sarah Palin”
http://www.amazon.com/Persecution-Sarah-Palin-Elite-Rising/dp/1595230610
I AM A CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN FROM MICHIGAN, AND I LOVE YOUR WEBSITE AND YOUR IDEAS AS WELL. I SHARE YOUR CHICAGO PERSPECTIVE WITH MY RELATIVES FROM CHICAGO WHO HAVE NEVER HAD A VOICE DUE TO THE CORRUPT CHICAGO MACHINE AND MY GAY NEPHEW– HE IS STILL GAGA- FOR OBAMA THOUGH. INCIDENTALLY, I LIKE BLAGO THE BEST OF ALL THE CHICAGO POLITICIANS. I HOPE THE MACHINE DOESN’T KILL HIM OR REZKO.
This is why I have so much respect for you. You said “This nation is more important than that nonsense.” That is the most unselfish thing anyone could say. And because of your unselfish beliefs and how fair and reasonable you are I continue to read everything you have to say. I love your live and let live attitude and your honest love and respect for this Country. You truly are a class act!
Boyz, I want to thank you (again) for the site you provide (and let us fellow snarkers leave commentaries on) along with the volume of writing (clear, funny, heart tugging and spot on brutally honest) you produce.
I am so sorry that you all receive such vemon from your neighbors and co-workers. There are none so INTOLERANT as those who proclaim (liberals) their PROFOUND TOLERANCE. The irony is lost upon their tiny brainwashed gray matter.
Not sure if there will be a ‘Monday’ thread…but the fall out from the ‘PartyCrashers’ is coming out loud and clear. It was posted (here) on the Sunday thread that Dear Leader ‘met’ the couple over five years ago (in a photo op with Will I. Am; Randy Jackson; Fergie; and a proPalestinian professor (mutual friend) of both. (Who knew the Black Eyed Peas were so up on all things Middle East…I bet Fergie got sooo excited she may have…well she may have ‘leaked’**literally or figuratively or both!!!)…anyways…the Obamabots are LAYING this all on the Secret Service…but the Secret Service is NOT falling on their swords just yet. Apparently…SS is responsible for ‘security’ (ie., the mangatrons and watching the room)…not producing the Guest List. Ouch…Desiree Rogers may be the next under the bus…hmmm…because apparently ‘alot’ of fingers are pointing to the First Lady’s staff.
This reminds me of a Turkish proverb:
If you speak the truth, have a foot in the stirrup.
The truth is rarely welcome.

Boys,
I am a straight conservative female, and I experience a lot of the same things. My Obama voting “friends” unilaterally refuse to discuss politics, and that’s ok with me. You can’t force people to talk.
Oh, unless we are all at a dinner party where I am the only conservative, and then they “out” me.
Same thing happens to me! They do try and “out” you.
LOL!
I’ve had it happen on forums (non-political) Someone makes an over the top, obnoxious post and you either can sit quiet or respond.
Try having to deal with that at church! It’s a real pain in the ass. My church doesn’t care whether I am gay or not. And many assume that if you are gay and Episcopalian, you must be a liberal and are cool with Republican/conservative bashing. Once I mentioned to my priest an article by Peggy Noonan about Pope John Paul II. The priest said, “Peggy Noonan . . . she’s one of the SANE conservatives.” I wanted to flip him off.
Kelly, that is funny how you say your friends “out” you. I get the same treatment my all of my liberal friends. The bad part is, when I ask my friends their beliefs and thoughts about people working for what they get instead of receiving handouts and other issues, I inform them that they line up with conservative values. I get a blank stare, jaw drops, and when they finally regain their speech, a hell no…there is no way I’m conservative because I’m black and we have to be Democrats/Liberals
Guys,
Trememndous work, as always!
But isn’t the title a bit misleading?
Shouldn’t it say “Sarah Palin support keeps gay men from dating in Chicago”?
As it is, I bet you some left wingnut will use it as a direct quote against Sarah Palin.
…or maybe it’s just me!!!!
Yeah, that crossed my mind too. Let’s hope not.
I am old enough to remember how horrible Jimmy Carter was. I also remember how I felt when he got booted to the curb and Ronald Reagan became our president. We all came together in relief and loved our country again. He scared us a little because he was so aggressive towards the Soviets but he immediately stopped the free-fall that Jimmy Carter started with his naive arrogance in the Middle East. Obama so reminds me of Jimmy Carter. It’s the same exact deal except I don’t think Carter hated the U.S. the way Obama does. He didn’t have an axe to grind. I don’t think Palin is a Ronald Reagan but I think collectively the grass roots feeling among Americans is. We want to feel safe and secure. We want to be proud of our country. We don’t want constant angst. The era of Nancy Pelosi and Rahm Emanuel has been bad for this country. We need to get people eleccted who will change the system so career politicians can’t dominate government and corrupt the country. We need to vote these idiots out of office. We need a new generation of people who won’t take $300 million for their vote but who will vote for what their people tell them to vote for. Washington has stopped listening to the people…and they need to pay the price. We need Sarah Palin to help get that message across.
Anybody see Chuck Woolery on Huckabee last weekend? Now there’s a man who should run for office. Said the term “career politician” must be phased out … two terms and they’re out, no matter who they are … otherwise they become too powerful. (Greedy, dangerous and easily bought.) Perhaps there’s video on The Huckstser’s website or on YouTube … it’s one interview well worth seeking out. Quite refreshing when compared to the lefty drivel spewed in this town.
Shoot, don’t worry about the whole “…won’t get a date” thing, everyone knows that smart boys are in, and you guys are indeed very smart.
Just read this – Rep. Louis Gohmert and 40 co-sponsors are proposing a bill that will require the 9/11 co-conspirators to remain at GITMO and be tried before a military tribunal:

If you agree with this, please click on the link and see if your representative’s name is on the bill; if not, be sure and light a fire under them…..
VA Rep. Wittman IS representing! Sweet.
Thanks for the heads-up.
We’ve heard rumors about this for a long time, but it now seems to be true.

Good Luck and Best Wishes Chelsea.
You guys are great!!!
We went rogue long before going rogue was even a concept, apparently.
Keep it up.
As a liberty minded anti-socialist anti-government gay guy (the anti- learned from having relatives behind the iron curtain in Prague, to whom I can speak to in Czech; gives a whole new meaning to “inside” info,) I have lost many a date over the past 30 or so years for my political views, sometimes right in the middle of dinner. All I want is nooky, and the leftists among us want to talk politics, — no, actually government takeover of life and how we shall capitulate as quickly as possible. Oh well, to the trenches for Liberty, where someone waits for me.
Jim . . . once, before I was in a monogamous relationship, I was mid-nook (if you will) when I had to throw a guy outa bed and outa my house. In the throes of passion, he made some crack about Bob Dole (a real show-stopper for a then-20something guy). That was it. He was gone. My inner redneck came out and I told him to g-g-go, n-n-now!!!!!!!
Wow. Who wants to have sex while talking about BOB DOLE?! I think you had a lucky escape…
We have dear friends who are from Poland, lived through the dark years, and having dinner with them a few weeks ago, they are horrified at Obama’s plans. They said, “We came to America to get away from this, and now they want to turn America into what we escaped!”

Pass it along!
Sorry I’m late to this thread but my 11 year old daughter got on the local news here in Central Florida at the Sarah Palin book signing last week…she said “not many people support her, but the smart ones do and that’s why I’m here.” I was so proud!
That’s awesome G8rMom! You should definitely be proud of her, heck I’m proud of her, and I don’t even know her. How wonderful!
Hey, OT, but is this fake or is it real?

I must refer you to this photo:

I just came across this, and had to come ‘here’ to HillBuzz to post.
Our FLOTUS (did you know she has buff arms? I read it on the internets!) has BEATEN (won, achieved over, been selected) as the most fashionable (I can barely type this I am laughing so hard) ‘First Spouse’ on the Planet. Carla Bruni came in second.
Obviously, ACORN has a EuroChapter and they stuffed the ballot boxes. “New” Black Panthers probably stood guard at some ‘official’ polling fashion houses…threatening more than ‘popped zippers.’
Michelle, of the BoobBelts, upholestery fabric dresses, $540 sneakers, too small sweater sets, and ‘Mr. Coffee meets Wilma Flintstone’ Inaugural gownage IS THE MOST FASHIONABLE WOMAN IN THE WORLD.
We trully are in the End Times.
Grrrr…here is the link (sorry!)
http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/fashion/article6935262.ece
I read some of the comments that people made in the article and a lot were “spot on”. I cannot fathom anyone considering MO the best dressed. BTW, I liked your “Mr. Coffee meets Wilma Flinston” comment.
Oh Mary you always make me chuckle. As to your above post, I’m quite certain that you can write grocery lists that are funnier than anything Joy could write.
Rogue ON, my brothers, rogue ON! You don’t want to be anywhere near their nasty mouths anyway, let alone date them!
Very cool guys. I hope work goes better for you. I fear it will get very, very bad for everyone if this marxist is not stopped soon. We can’t just sit and wait for Sarah. We have got to do all we can to get our constitution back, and these frauds out!
Just ran across this Op-Ed piece:
http://www.appeal-democrat.com/articles/palin-89119-wasilla-carney.html
Excellent analysis!
I’m a gay Republican guy in New York and I’ve had several cases where I’ve been in a bar chatting with a guy and politics come up and I say I’m Republican, they simply look at me with disgust and walk away saying they don’t ever want to speak to anyone like me again.
I just laugh it off, I wouldn’t want to talk to them either anymore.
That’s me. I love your honesty and great humor. Rock on guys!
We must encourage Gov. Palin to start speaking more and more on policy. She’s got got great instincts and the book tour is connecting her with more Americans. To be considered a serious player in whatever she does, she must study, learn and speak with depth on important issues now.
