If you wonder why so many conservatives have left your ranks, I invite you to look at yourselves. Jazzman646's tribute to conservative women article was just taken down by "You" the "community." The article spawned many very interesting - and even a few respectful - debates on co …

I have heard everyone - from Obama's own debt commission to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff - call the looming debt a mortal threat to the nation. We have watched Greece self-immolate. We can see the future.

I guess I don't have to explain why I'm black. This is not about the biological origin of my color, but about the origin of my political ideology, which many people, both online and off, black and white, seem to have an issue with.

It was health care that nationalized the special election for what we now know is the people's Senate seat. But it was national security that put real distance between Scott Brown and Martha Coakley.

No one was killed in the Christmas Day terrorist attack aboard Delta/Northwest Flight 253. But that doesn't mean the al-Qaida operation failed.
For those of you expecting what the trailer promised: a bloated, confusing, noisy, headache-inducing Christmas blockbuster weighed down with CGI and barely made watchable by the presence of He Who Makes Everything Better – star Robert Downey Jr. – you're in for a surprise.

I was walking through a deserted downtown on Christmas Eve with a friend, past the lonely, gray Treasury Building, past the snowy White House with no president inside.
Hi Ellie,
I got your request for information regarding digital point & shoot as compared and contrasted to digital SLR (single lens reflex) cameras. I checked my articles and while I may have, in passing, mentioned some of the characteristics of each camera type, I could not find a stand-alone article.
So, later today, I will post an article giving a brief overview of each type of camera along with advantages, disadvantages and how to decide which camera best suits which type of photographer.
You are still my favorite Vine conservative and it's good to know that some people are able to disagree but still like one another.
A. Mac
Ellie is a lovely, lovely woman and a more loyal friend one is not likely to find.
Thanks for the notice about my article. I was wanting to expand on it anyway. I too enjoy following your contributions on the vine. Always articulate, witty, well informed, and dead spot on point.
Thanks for accepting my friend request. It's really hard to be the voice of "reason" on some of these issues and being new to newsvine, sometimes I backslide and resort to sarcasm. I'm going to try to be more like you...

i have recently declared war on these lefty liberal dickwads, who attempt to advance their "progressive" agenda in a decidedly sexist way. i think we have that in common to a degree. you might be interested in my blog as well. the address is on my bio, visit and leave a comment if you have something to say!
I like your new avatar :)
Hi Ellie,
I wish I had read through your comments in Velma's seed before I made
a couple of MY comments. Most of mine were intended to simply "bludgeon"
through the name-calling and back-patting of what I actually consider
"fodder" for my reality stick. I could be nicer, but WHY?You have QUITE a "sharp stick" of your OWN to poke 'em with!
Also, you are LARNING me stuff, always a GOOD thing!Thanks for being intelligent!
Take care!
— DTansy
Ellie, your Obama avatar is disturbing and funny(at the same time), like one of those nervous laughs....!
Ellie, thanks for stopping by. I rarely am uninterested in the subjects you choose to discuss and always enjoy your perspective on the issue at hand. You may delete this comment if you wish. My article is listed under bailouts in my comments and seeds section but I'm not sure why all my articles have disappeared from my "front page". Maybe you could enlighten me as to how it might have occurred?
Keep after them! I like your style and your comments. I like the We the people stimulus package.
There's a video on u tube that's funny but true as well. The Mr. Jefferson song. Don't know if you pay attention to Mike Church, but he wrote it. He cracks me up.
Anyway keep up the good fight!
ElliePhat I read your story and it brought tears to my eyes because I went through the same thing with my folks who are now deceased. I will continue to keep you in my prayers. I am originally from N.C. but live in Ga. now. I remember making the trips home all those years to help with mom and dad. So glad I did it too.
Take care and God Bless you
Pat
ElliePhat, you and I are on completely different ideological sides of the fence but I enjoy debating with you. On more than one occasion you have required me to look deeper at my held beliefs, I hope that you continue to do so.
Nice to have "met" you, I look forward to further debates.
— Blearc
Ellie- thanks you for the nice visit and comment.
Enjoy your input, too. Freedom of thought and the pursuit of learning matters.
These good conversations brighten my day.
A better Vine-friend is hard to come by. Merry Christmas, Ellie!

Ellie, I love the way you share truth sprinkled with a sense of humor! Thank you for being a bright spot wherever you go!
Oh Ellie. There aren't enough adjectives in the world to describe how I feel about you. So, let me simply state, you are a woman of true spirit and heart. Your writing is informative, honest yet never hurtful. It is a pleasure to have you here on Newsvine and in my life.
May God Bless.
Susan

Ellie,
Thank you for accepting my friend request. I have seen your comments on several articles and admire your intelligence and your courage in speaking the truth. I am a Christian who usually votes republican (after studying the issues) I look forward to joining you in many conversations in the future.
You are truly a breath of fresh air. Logical, articulate and a joy to read.
— Pat N
I am delighted to welcome you as my new friend and the first to post a comment. I love having new friends, and we all need them.
I too am new at Newsvine and am trying to understand how things work here.
You could call me a William F. Buckley, Jr. conservative, but no where near as erudite, nor talented. Blessings.
