I'm getting pretty irritated at being continually moderated at CNN.com. The last time I ranted about it, they actually posted my comments, but they've been 'moderating', aka repressing free speech, my comments fairly regularly. Especially Jack Cafferty. Now on CNN, you can say something like: "Sarah Palins evil she kill Caribou" or "Sarah Palins dum" and they don't moderate that. But if you have an insightful comment that goes against the viewpoint of their moderator, then you can't get your comments through.
So I put up this comment which was 'awaiting moderation' on the Michael Steele-Abortion thread on the political ticker.
"The liberal philosophy; Killing babies is OK, but the death penalty for convicted murderers and rapists is not.
I like Michael Steele, but he's not a very solid conservative, he's a moderate. Chairman Steele, you need to get some convictions on this issue. Your base has convictions on it. Abortion is not a state's right issue.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
It doesn't say we are BORN equal, it says we are CREATED equal. Created by God in the womb. Every man (and woman) was created by God and has the RIGHT to LIFE. It is not a choice. If someone is innocent, death can not be imposed as a sentence, but that's what abortion does, imposes the death sentence on a human who has committed no crime. Their only fault is being created in a woman with no convictions, and a country with no convictions.
Roe v. Wade has killed 50 million Americans. More than Hitler, more than Stalin, more than Mao. Wake up Chairman Steele and develop some conviction on this issue."
OK, so in the middle of putting this post together, I decided to check back at CNN and it went from 'awaiting moderation' to being posted. I think I should turn my posts into blog posts every time and maybe I wont be moderated anymore.

Reagan quotes!!
I'm jealous.
You should moderate every comment on this thread...just for laughs.
Not sure about Steele. First time I really ever paid much attention to him was when he gave a really good speech at the GOP convention. But, he does appear too moderate (think: liberal) for my tastes.
My question is: if the GOP continues to go moderate (liberal) w/ McCain type prez nominees and Steele, etc; where the hell do we conservatives go for a political party?
I don't know. Steele is a moderate conservative, but he's Ronald Reagan compared to McCain. But I know what you mean. It's why I haven't fully thrown my hat in for the Republican Party. Part of me would like to, but there is just this pander mentality in a certain segment of the party. I think it's getting better, but it's still there. When Republicans start standing up for principles again, voters will come back. When they pander to the masses they are seen as frauds.
In what ways/issues is he that much more conservative than McCaint?
I'm gonna take a hard look at the "alternative" party's out there.
Border Security (Illegal Immigration), Cap & Trade, Free Speech (Election "Reform"), and I think McCain would have been for putting more regulations (esp. senseless ones) on big business to pander to the left. I think there's a few other issues where Steele is significantly more conservative than McCain as well. Look, he's no Ronald Reagan, but he's far more conservative than McCain. McCain gets him on abortion. That's it. Plus Steele would follow the party line on abortion, even if he's iffy on it. McCain does whatever he feels like to suit his own interests, especially if those interests mean pandering to the left and the MSM. Steele isn't going to do that. Is he a perfect conservative, no. But look at his predecessor, Mel Martinez. That guy was a straight up RINO.
One bumper sticker I saw, even though it's late was a McCain '08 sticker that had a picture of a clothespin. As in; I need to put this clothespin on my nose in order to vote for McCain, but I'll gladly do that to keep Obama out of office.
Railin against Rush on CNN appears alitle panderish.
But, good to know he's against cap & trade and (hopefully)pro-border fence; 2 issues McCaint was lib on. But, we'll see; n/e repubs make me nervous.
"n/e repubs.."
??
It took me awhile too. Is it North East?
My bad.
No ethics? New England? Nice entomologist? Nuanced entertainer? Nonsensical elephant? Nefarious evil? Ohh...I got it. Naive emu conservatives! whew!
Oooh, I was thinking North East, but now I'm kinda leanin nefarious evil.
"Nice entomologist?"
That's a funny one...even tho I don't know what an entomologist is.
Actually it's neanderthal elite.
Ohhh..neanderthal elite! Well that's just silly. I would have never have guessed THAT.
