The discussion at the Republic of Austin Facebook page over the link to my last post went in a direction quite different from where I thought it might go. It went something like this:
So, in the interests of making things clear: Yes, I like Sarah Palin. Yes, I've read A Handmaid's Tale. I didn't care for it. And the Republic of Gilead, as portrayed by Margaret Atwood, in no way represents either my Christianity or, from what I have seen, the views of Governor Palin.
What, did you expect me to sit back and tacitly accept your ideas of what it must be like to be a conservative in deep blue Austin? Try asking me next time instead of stereotyping.

Hi:
I was hoping people would comment on the KXAN vs TWC discussion. By responding to Ted's comment, I wasn't passing any judgement, just stating two facts. And to be honest, I didn't get the Handmaid's Tale reference, so I just left it there...
I think it's great that we have sites like yours and Urban Grounds. Discussion is good :)
Best,
Chris
