From the mailroom

Nuke: “We’ve known each other for some time now, and frankly I just can’t understand your support for the huckster. He’s a RINO who, if nominated, will totally destroy the Republican party. Populism is not conservatism, and this is the candidate you expect to unite the party and face the DemocRats in November???!!!”

He went on to tell me that he couldn’t in good conscience link back to my blog anymore, and that anyone who was willing to abandon the principles of conservatism did not deserve a spot on his blogroll.

Dang. I hate this.

I really do.

Having told myself a few months ago that I refused to lose friendships because of Primary politics, I realize now that I was wrong. And, if it means that I’m going to be de-linked at other blogrolls, then, fine. So be it. It’s a free country. Do what you’ve gotta do.

Please understand that I have arrived at my own preference based on my own set of criteria, and my own personal judgment of the candidates. I realize that many of my well-meaning blog friends do not agree with me, and perhaps they don’t realize that their comments are both condescending as well as insulting.

Since linkage and blogrolls are important to you, please understand that I carry my reciprocated blogroll on all five of my blogs. If you want to de-link me, ok, I understand. But, it’s going to cost you five links in return.

The ball is in your court.

Nuke

  1. I knew this was gonna happen, I just knew it.

  2. It sucks

  3. It do!
    Grippage is badly needed.

  4. Time for some humor.

  5. Woo Hoo!
    Thanks, I needed that.
    Gotta run an errand. BBL

  6. And another nice bonus, Barret-Jackson Auction has started on Speed. Nice eye candy. :shock:

    nuke, if people are gonna get that pissy over your support of another candidate (in the same party no less), maybe those people aren’t worth being associated with anyway.

  7. Already?
    Dang!
    When did it start? I knew it was coming up, but I didn’t think it started until Thursday.
    Commenting will be light for the next…..five nights, I’ll tell you what!

  8. I think I will start a Barrett-Jackson open thread.

  9. It just started 40 min. ago. 6 days of drooling.

  10. These early days are some of my favorites, as they have real drivers, not trailer or glass bubble queens.

  11. I need food.
    Now!

  12. That’s what they were just saying, and they were showing some of the outback stuff. I like the before versions too.

  13. Better cook enough for a few days. :lol:

  14. Man…that white Dodge with the 440 was sweet.

  15. I liked that black and gold new Shelby Cobra. $42,000.

  16. Spanky ASSiter. :lol: :lol: :lol:

  17. Henh.
    Ol’Spanky does okay, that’s his cute wife out there on the floor as a bidders assistant.

    Yeah, good buy on the Hertz GT500.
    Some really strange things have followed, though.
    I’m gonna watch some of the History Channels series on the American Revolution. I saw most of last year, but tonights episode is about the signing of the Declaration of Independence. I love our countries history, I don’t care what leftards and America haters say.

  18. OK n2l, I’ll check with you later.

  19. I’ll still be checking in and out.
    Gonna watch and listen while sitting here.

  20. These oddballs are fun to watch.

  21. They is some weird buggies, fo’sho’.

  22. Didja see what this moroon is upset over?
    Virginia Lawmaker Seeks to Ban Replica Testicles on Trailer Hitches
    I haven’t seen human balls on the hitches, I thought they were Bull Balls. It might be different in Virginia……but still, what a waste of time that could be put to better use.

  23. That last sentence is really bad grammer.

  24. May be a little odd, but I wouldn’t want to see those danglies while riding down the highway, either.

    Talking about odd, how about the Cop Car Doughnut Maker?

  25. Finally, they gonna get away from the goof cars, and back to the good’uns.

  26. Good story.

  27. OOH!
    Nice red buggy.

  28. My God, what a beautiful old Cadillac.

  29. Real nice story.
    The danglies that I’ve seen are chrome relicas of a bull, mostly on Semi type trucks and the jacked up 4×4’s. I thought it was funny…….

  30. had a ‘79 Z28 just like that Trans Am.

  31. Those early turbos were a little problematic. They would get very hot, and when they turned the engine off, the oil that was in the turbo would cook-off and coke up.

  32. That is unfortunate Nuke. Imagine if we all de-linked the bloggers whom are backing a candidate that we are not thrilled with. It is just a silly move. IMHO

    What I am trying to say is once the election is over where will we all be? Will there not (still) be common ground between us all? As there was before the campaigns began heating up.

  33. Scarlett is my nick from my other blog. lol
    It’s me velvethammer. ;)

  34. Absolutely correct scarletvelvethammer.

  35. Yes ma’am, scarletvh.
    I keep saying, the enemy is the donks…we ain’t the enemy.

  36. Nice Camaro.
    I like the resto-mods the best.

  37. Hehee. You had me there., Scarlett.

    VH, I may be wrong, but I foresee (rubbing the crystal ball) a major realignment in the Right blogosphere.

    The days of A-list bloggers dominating traffic through selective linkage and outright plagiarism are going to quickly come to an end, as the Right begins to embrace 2.0 tools, much as the left netroots already has.

    We’re seeing it now in traffic patterns going towards the “forum” model. Ultimately, I see the community model as the preferred vehicle, kind of like we’re doing over at Red Nation

    Speaking of whaich, please drop by

  38. Thanks Robert. lol :D
    Cool I am back to my old self. I swear I confuse the heck out of myself.

  39. Nuke

    “The days of A-list bloggers dominating traffic through selective linkage and outright plagiarism are going to quickly come to an end”

    Now that I am all for!
    I’ll drop by Red Nation. Already had a peek when you left the link over at my place a while back. I can register but do not know how active I can be. I need 48 hours to a day, 3 sets of hands and a couple of extra comps. lmao

    n2l
    “the enemy is the donks”

    Amen! You all were some of my first blogging buds. And have always treated me with respect and kindness. I will not ever forget that.

  40. Have you ever seen Timmy, the kid in the wheelchair, speak a coherent sentence?
    Go to South Park now, and soon you will.

  41. That would be great VH. If you can squeeze out a minute or two, why not consider cross-posting your IS2 posts over there.
    Nuke

  42. I will not ever forget that.

    Okay, gonna hold you to that.

  43. Ok Nuke I am all set up over at Red Nation. Have already even cross posted my latest article. lol Easy breezy. It is quite user friendly.

    n2l
