Chrenkoff, Good News From the Islamic World, Part 3

Cinnamon Stillwell and Tom Blumer at NewsBusters.org are doing stuff that MSNBC and AP 'should' have done before providing the teenager a national/international forum and 15-minutes of fame.                         

Geoff Metcalf, Accuracy In Media (AIM), Farris Hassan: Failing the ‘Smell’ Test

Without the digging of Cinnamon Stillwell and Tom Blumer at NewsBusters.org, the romantic version of a runaway schoolboy "trying to help my fellow man" would have continued to dupe television viewers and readers the world over.

Douglas Hagmann, Northeast Intelligence Network, Special Reports: The Bombing at the University of Oklahoma      

  …today he stopped in to offer us a glance of a column that he admitted might be too hot, too sexist, as it wryly suggested that he turned conservative only to please Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, Cinnamon Stillwell and Arlene Peck. He had a crush on all four of those articulate Conservative Babes. The Left had no answer for those beauties. (Of Cinnamon Stillwell and Arlene Peck -- these two were especially the righteous sound and fury that helped power the Internet into the colossus that was threatening us in print journalism.)                                                                                          

The Bathsheba Deadline, Part 2, An "Amazon Shorts" novel by Jack Engelhard

But also, there was no escaping the Internet, or what is clearly Bypass Journalism, and the writing coming from there was often stronger and more in-touch than we’d been getting from conventional print commentators. So, using Ruth S. King’s online Clipping Post, I kept publishing such conservative voices as Arlene Peck and Cinnamon Stillwell and Reuven Koret and Nissan Razlav Katz and Mark Steyn, Cal Thomas, Diana West, Melanie Phillips, and Debbie Schlussel. Sharp writing all around, and some of these names would have been silenced save for Bypass Journalism. (Truly, a Brave New World.)                                                                                           

The Bathsheba Deadline, Part 3, An "Amazon Shorts" novel by Jack Engelhard 

...Robert Spencer’s Jihadwatch was tops in monitoring that other half of the world, and Stillwell was writing more powerfully by the day. This was some fighter, Cinnamon Stillwell (I started catching her along the Internet, and dropped whatever reservations I’d once had about women as writers), and I was tempted to offer her a spot here at the Manhattan Independent. I just might do that if Sam Cleaver doesn’t get back right quick. Stillwell (and he’d hate to be told this) was his equal in nailing injustice.                                                                                         

The Bathsheba Deadline, Part 9, An "Amazon Shorts" novel by Jack Engelhard

That is a fact with stats to back it up. Not only journalists, but anyone with an OPINION was at risk. Soon they’d know what you were thinking. Combat reporting had always been hazardous but mainly in the combat zone. Now the entire world was a combat zone. Full-time journalist and part-time blogger (excellent on both counts) Cinnamon Stillwell sent in an opinion piece (which I’ll be carrying in the Manhattan Independent) noting that “all across the Western World, a worrisome phenomenon is spreading. Fear of incurring Muslim wrath is leading politicians, journalists, artists, professors, teachers and business owners to censor themselves.” She cites the Pope himself who had to backtrack for his opinion and a French journalist named Robert Redeker forced into hiding for expressing himself in Le Figaro.                                                                                      

The Bathsheba Deadline, Part 11, An "Amazon Shorts" novel by Jack Engelhard

Cinnamon Stillwell never thought she'd be the founder of a political organization. She certainly never expected to start a group for conservatives, most of whom became conservatives on the same day—September 11, 2001. She organized the group, the 911 Neocons, as a haven for people like her "former lefties" who did political 180s after 9/11.

Stillwell, now a conservative columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle, had been a liberal her whole life, writing off all Republicans as "ignorant, intolerant yahoos." Yet on 9/11, everything changed for her, as it did for so many. In the days after the attacks, the world seemed "topsy-turvy." On the political  left, she wrote, "There was little sympathy for the victims," and it seemed to her that progressives were "consumed with hatred for this country" and had "extended their misguided sympathies to tyrants and terrorists."

Disgusted, she looked elsewhere. She found solace among conservative talk-show hosts and columnists. At first, she felt resonance with the right about the war on terror. But soon she found herself concurring about "smaller government, traditional societal structures, respect and reverence for life, the importance of family, personal responsibility, national unity over identity politics." She embraced gun rights for the first time, drawn to "the idea of self-preservation in perilous times." Her marriage broke up due in part to political differences. In the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq, she began going to pro-war rallies.

In 2005, she wrote a column called "The Making of a 9/11 Republican." Over the year that followed, she received thousands of e-mails from people who'd had similar experiences. There were so many of them that she decided to form a group. And so the 911 Neocons were born.

Jay Dixit, Psychology Today, The Ideological Animal

People began emailing about this op-ed by Cinnamon Stillwell at the San Francisco Chronicle shortly after it appeared last week, but I didn’t have a chance to read it until now. It’s a good one.                                        

Little Green Footballs, The Making Of A 9/11 Republican

Speaking of neocons, here’s a fascinating account of ex-liberal, Cinnamon Stillwell’s transformation into a neoconservative.                               

Stanley Kurtz, The Corner on National Review, Neocons

San Francisco Bay Area writer Cinnamon Stillwell moves from the Flower Generation to the New Greatest Generation. Read the whole thing....Color her fingers purple.                                                                                

Austin Bay Blog, Cinnamon Stillwell: The Making of a 9/11 Republican

Cinnamon Stillwell has a fantastic article on sfgate.com. I was especially moved because it so mirrored my experiences… The whole thing is a must, must, must, must read. She brilliantly outlines what is wrong with the American left and why she left them.                                        

Wizbangblog, The Making Of A 9/11 Republican

Perhaps this column by (yep, it is her name) Cinnamon Stillwell will help some of you understand my point of view and why I am a gay conservative/Republican. Read the whole thing….contemplate…. and learn…..                                                                                      

Gay Patriot, The Making of a 9/11 Republican

I also don't feel crazy because I just read Cinnamon Stillwell's column The Making Of A 9/11 Republican and I said to myself, "Yes. I understand completely." Ms Stillwell's journey from the left is much like my own…She speaks for a lot of us who have turned from the left to get to the right place.                                                                                 

Bloggedygook, Sometimes You Feel Like A Nut

Cinnamon Stillwell and the conservative movement can continue to lie about 9/11 and their failures. The true history of the events after 9/11 will be written one day and it will be the conservatives in power, media, and Republican party will be proven as the Hypocrites of their day.                

Daily Kos, Are You a 9/11 Republican?

Cinnamon Stillwell (yes, it's a hippie name; she addresses that) explains how she found herself rejecting her own leftish upbringing. I've got it hard enough -- I'm in the media. But she's in the media in San Francisco. Get that woman a flak jacket.                                                            

Done With Mirrors, Another "Left Behind" Case

San Francisco seems intent on seceding from the United States, especially when it comes to the American military. As columnist Cinnamon Stillwell describes in today’s San Francisco Chronicle, the People’s Republic by the Golden Gate has been on an anti-military jihad for some time.
