My original blog was Oh, How I Love Jesus and I had one other writer with me for the first part.

Then people began to visit the site and we started discussing politics as well as faith issues. I invited two of them to blog with me.

After awhile, it became apparent we were discussing politics more than faith and I suggested to the two newest members that maybe we should start a political blog. I was willing to foot the bill if they would be a part of that blog.

At first they declined, but after speaking to their husbands about it they decided it was a good idea afterall and the dominant one said she would pay for the domain registration and design of the blog.

The one who wanted to be friends with everyone said she insisted on paying for half the cost of designing the blog. They said I had already paid for one blog and could share in the cost the next year.

I had three other themes made up for the elections and to show the White House for this cycle and Congress for the off-year elections, so I contributed as much as they did.

We started in May 2006 and had 200 hits the very first day. I contacted people I knew in the blog world to tell them about our new blog and soon we were getting comments that we were the first stop in the morning.

By March of 2007 it had become apparent that the dominant partner and I were not as compatible as we should have been, with her sending emails to me telling me how awful it was that I wrote about such and such and I should do it this way.

On March 8, 2007, after my dear neighbor had died four days before and my best friend’s father died that day I received an email from the peacemaker telling me that she and the dominant one had discussed it and decided they didn’t want me to be a partner in the blog. Instead of having administrative privileges I would be just an editor, which meant there were a lot of things I could see and do as administrator that would be blocked from me now.

I declined their offer and left that day after removing every post I had ever put up and the one announcing our first blogiversary.

That made them mad and when I questioned the dominant one in the comments section she went off on a rant. The next day someone posted something about Fred Thompson and I agreed I thought he’d be a good candidate. My comment was blacklisted, as was this blog.

I cannot comment there nor can I give them any credit for using some of their material in our posts.

This is a long story to get you to this point. In June 2007 the peacemaker made a decision to have me do a trackback to their blog if I would write something about the soldiers in Iraq needing air conditioners. I would have done it without the trackback, but since that’s good blogiquette I did the trackback.

About 2 hours later the trackback was gone, and so was the peacemaker.

Now the dominant one had the place all to herself and began to get some other bloggers besides the ones the other two of us had suggested. We had a great blog up until all this happened.

Now if I go to that blog I find everyone caterwauling that we didn’t nominate someone who is conservative and therefore we should vote for him anyway. The next day the story is we didn’t nominate someone who is conservative so we should not vote for him but vote for the down-ballot candidates.

And every day the dominant one shows her ignorance by telling us how smart she is. She hasn’t quit whining since it became clear McCain would win the nomination.

Before, she would never vote for Mitt Romney because he is a Mormon and her sister converted to Mormonism and she knows all about them. By the last month or so she was Mitt Romney’s biggest supporter.

She’s not going to vote, nor are her two daughters and husband. At least that’s what she says now.

This is a perfect example of fair weather Republicans and the reason we lost the Congress two years ago. We’d rather cut off our noses to spite our faces than go with the one who is more like you and whose ideas for governing are more like yours.

All I can say is although I was deeply hurt when I was kicked off the blog the Lord knew what He was doing. I would have gone insane trying to play both ends against the middle and He knew it.
