She has done a ton of good stuff and cares for her fellow man.  During Katrina she set up a web site where people could help the victims.  She&#8217;s a really great lady.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the rub.  She&#8217;s a Liberal.  Yes, I know, how could Don ever like a Liberal.  Well, truth be told Don has 5 daughters\/stepdaughters and every one of them except 1 plans to vote for Obama.  In spite of that misguided and clueless behavior I still love every one of them and that&#8217;s how I can like Grace.<\/p>\n<p>Grace has always been a staunch supporter of all things Liberal but lately she&#8217;s done something that surprises me.  She decided she was going to delete any comments from her blog that don&#8217;t jive with her love of Obama.  In her latest post she says of anyone who disagrees with her the following: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I wish to inform you Haters and Doubters that I will be deleting your Hating and Doubting comments on my blog, should you deign to post such remarks.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This seems to me to be exactly what the Liberals accuse the Republicans of doing.  I keep hearing how Liberals are so open to ideas and how Conservatives are strict and closed and &#8220;haters&#8221; and will step on any rights you think you have.<\/p>\n<p>Well Grace, here&#8217;s one Conservative who doesn&#8217;t care if people from the opposing side post on my blog.  If you post words that I prefer my reading audience not see I will probably edit that but I won&#8217;t change your fundamental ideas.  But I will allow anyone&#8217;s ideas, no matter how stupid, to exist in my comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grace Davis is a very nice lady who has a fairly popular blog.
