Peace Out: Cynthia Davis Complains About "Left Wing Bloggers" In Farewell Column
In her final newsletter as a State Representative, Rep. Cynthia Davis complains about "left wing bloggers" she believes are out "to shame and humiliate those who speak up for common sense America." Davis' list of evil librul bloggers presumably includes writers for Fired Up!, Show Me Progress, the Pitch, Riverfront Times, and the Turner Report, among others. No apologies here for reporting the things she said and did, and for calling out the allegedly reasonable leaders who put her in positions of leadership.
Here's an excerpt from Davis' column, as posted by Randy Turner:
As I walk out of the Capitol for the last time I know that my priorities have never changed---honoring God and honoring my constituents.
This came at a tremendous personal cost, but it was worth what I paid for it many times over. I value my integrity, and I have the satisfaction of knowing I get to take my integrity with me when I leave. Not everybody can say that.
The price tag? It meant national attention -far more than most of my colleagues- even those in leadership positions. Those who live in my district may not realize that people in Kansas City, Springfield, Joplin, Columbia, New York, California and those who watch MSNBC and Steven Colbert may know more about me than you do. I became the target of several left wing blogs and frequently segments of my Capitol Reports would be quoted within hours of being e-mailed. People in other states would write me who read about what I am saying and accomplishing in Missouri.
The goal of the left wing bloggers is to shame and humiliate those who speak up for common sense America. It is possible that they are so surrounded by socialists that it shocks them to hear someone explain free-market ideology. More likely, they think making a martyr out of an honest mother of seven, grass-roots supported American will intimidate others from daring to state the obvious out of fear of the backlash. It may have worked were it not for the fact that I am defined by my Maker, not what the left-wing blogs say.
Peace out, Cynthia.
