[…] so glad I got to meet her last year at CPAC and tell her in person how much I admire her courage. Neoneocon was second and I am not familiar with her writing, but I will have to start giving her a look-see. […]

‘I don’t call myself a Conservative. I call myself a classical liberal’.
And so do I. But you will be called ‘a Conservative’ once you espouse classical liberal ideas. This is the problem. Since the seventies the whole political spectrum has shifted to the left, and what first was called liberal is now called conservative and what was called socialist is now called liberal. The words meaning became reversed in an Orwellian way.
In the US the traditional political meaning of the colors blue and red have been reversed. Blue was always the color of traditional Liberalism and red was the color of Socialism. Now it is reversed in the Red states vs the Blue states. I still don’t know whether this was done by the leftist media to fool the people deliberately or not.
Also in the Western media hardcore communists in China are called ‘conservatives’ and freedomfighters are called ‘liberals’. But the hardcore Chinese communists are the opposite of ‘conservatives’in the West. And the freedomfighters under communism got their support mainly from western conservatives not from liberals.
And now since many people have come to see the real meaning of todays ‘liberalism’, they changed its name again into something else: ‘progressivism’.
But as Orwell showed, this is what the Left does. They play with the language in order to confuse everything and then take advantage of it in the quest for power.
The deepest reason is that for the Left the value of Leftist power trumps the value of speaking the truth. This is also why the Left finds it no problem to take away the freedom of people to speak the truth according to their conscience.
And this is the number one reason that I reject and distrust the Left and everything it stands for.
Once freedom of speech has died, all other freedoms will die also.
The Lights will go out…As they have gone out here in Europe in considerable measure.

I want to thank you for your blog, which is a Light that must not go out.

I wasn’t a reader of Atlas Shrugs until I became curious when she took such a large lead in the contest. Since then I’ve had her on my daily read list. I’m beginning to think that she leans toward being a single-issue blogger since she mostly posts on the War On Terror and Islamic radicalism.

I’ve been a Neo follower for a couple of years, since the folks at the Q&O site recommended you. Few writers can match your ability to make just about anything interesting and enjoyable to read; even a trip to the dump. The content is matched by the skillful way it’s presented.

Although I’m well past my prime, I still appreciate a well-presented member of the opposite sex, and my imagination presents an image of what’s behind the apple that trumps what Atlas projects.

Congratulations on a great finish. I used to visit Atlas Shrugs and decided fairly quickly that the blogger was just too narcissistic for my tastes.

On the other hand, I often wait to click on my “neo” bookmark until last, just so I can appreciate and savor what you’ve chosen to share with us each day.

There are greater rewards than instalanches and blog-diva elections. Having an informed and self-nourished background and God-given insights with which to entertain and illuminate, for example, and having intelligent readers who enhance your site with their own comments. You’ve been given the greater rewards, and we the lucky readers are blessed because of it.

Happy New Year. Here’s hoping our Schadenfreude runneth over in 2010!

Sincere congrats! I’ll bet you never thought you’d be at such a level of popularity when you initially began your blog. I remember feeling so excited when I first found your site because your way of expressing yourself just resonated with me. You have a very effective way of combining the personal with the analytical. You really deserve all the accolades that come your way.

I’m sorry you didn’t win, but congratulations on being Regent. I think that’s quite an achievement in and of itself.

I’m not a fan of Geller (she seems a bit shrill to me) but she has a huge following so I think it’s quite an accomplishment to come in a strong second to her… and to beat out Michelle Malkin.

Happy New Year!

Gary: yes, I was more shy when I was an adolescent. But never really all that shy.

And (shhh!, don’t tell anyone) my hair used to be pepper and salt just a few years ago. Not any more.

Neo
I have seen the baby pix before but not the ballerina. Oh course the “duckling-swan” was meant metaphorically not physically. Clearly your Mediterranean ancestry is captured in your lips and eyes. And in your apple pic.
Some how today though I thought you more salt and pepperish as opposed to black.

And as far as the ears go as long as there’s two who cares. HNY!
