Sarah Palin is an evil idiot

[Ally]

Aw denial is so cute. You know the first step towards recovery is admitting you have a problem.

[sdreid]

Yes, like I spent a total of 5 minutes on it yesterday while you people were looking up quotes. I spent more time studying film gris last evening.

It's really funny how much effort you guys put in this. It must be quite a burden to you.

Pot, meet Kettle. Kettle, this is Pot. Or haven't you noticed you are completely unable to resist jumping in whenever your Bushmaster Barbies name is invoked?

[mariab]

Burden? Not yet. Only if she gets nominated. But we're putting TONS of effort into making jokes (and entertaining ye all).

Thanks mate, afraid that I am still in hiding from "Special Branch" and the Grand Lodge of the Ancient Order of the Scottish Right of the Freemasons, over my publishing of the leaking of Sir Robert Anderson's Arse!!!

Hey Zodiac, they said it wisely in From Hell, and I quote, “You don't wanna fu*k with the Special Branch“. But we're all grateful for your courageous and shrewd act of journalistic defiance in exposing Sir Robert Anderson's ARSE in the Thames, and the DISASTER that this caused.
Can't wait to experience your next bold revelation.
Until then, be seeing you around in the threads,

Hi Hunter,
I most certainly didn't intend to offend you. A high school diploma, especially for your generation, when almost only the rich were able to go to college, was fairly sufficient. You are a wonderful historian and have no need for a Ph.D. to prove yourself. I know TONS of Ph.D. candidates, both in Europe and the US, who are literaly obtuse and not fit to whip your b*tt intellectually. And I happen to believe that higher education does not necessarily equal intelligence, talent, or pragmatic resourcefulness. I know of gifted people (like Pro surfer Kelly Slater, for instance) who are enormously intellectual and articulate, just as yourself, while being high school graduates.
I can fully understand that you emotionally relate to Palin (also from hunter to hunter), and I assure you that what bothers me is not her coming from rural Alaska or her not having gone to college, but her sheer stupidity and overconfidence in believing that she could be presidential candidate when it's clearly obvious that she doesn't know what the hell she's talking about or what she's standing for. She's not David Crocket, she's a bimbo.
I happen to like Alaskan singer Jewel Kilcher (who's often been ridiculed too), and I happen to believe that she would make a thousand times better vice-presidential candidate than Palin. Kilcher comes from the exact same background as Palin, but unlike Palin, she has intelligence, presence, eloquence, charisma, and is a humanitarian and environmental activist.
Independance and self-reliance are two great American qualities, which I admire and do my best to pursue. But surviving not because of government, but in spite of it, is unfortunately also typical for America, at least since the Great Depression, which so much reminds me of our current era. The depression you're having is just as bad here in Europe. For instance, Fisherman recently visited Berlin, and I directed his attention to the fact that every third shop/business has closed down due to bankruptcy. The sole difference being that in Europe the government offers more protection when citizens get sick or lose their job. I understand that Americans are distrustful of this, but they're wrong.

Is that a kayak in my pocket or am I just pleased to see you!!! lol

Hey Zodiac, cool that you're back! I have to confess that until a few months ago I was regularly having chuckle fits remembering your “Sir Robert Anderson's ARSE in the Thames – DISASTER – reflect on the victims and consequences“ joke.
And yes, I bet Sarah Palin would do it. She would nuke us all on December 31, 2012. ;-)

Hi Maria,

Thanks mate, afraid that I am still in hiding from "Special Branch" and the Grand Lodge of the Ancient Order of the Scottish Right of the Freemasons, over my publishing of the leaking of Sir Robert Anderson's Arse!!!

Hope to speak to soon,

Best wishes,

Hi Maria,

I probably shouldn't have posted anything on this thread. My mistake. I joined these forums because the subject is different from the politically controversial topics that permeate most forums. And I enjoy the respite from the day to day issues that most people talk about.

I was raised up in the South, by two great parents that instilled the values of a small town culture and a close knit society.... learned to be independant and self reliant. My father owned his own blue collar business that I now own. I have seen the changes that have taken place in our culture and government and the effects they have produced. I have downsized my business and now work less employees than I have in 20 years because the combination of corrupt investors, government regulations and illegal immigrant competition have forced me to do so. But I am surviving and will do so... not because of government, but in spite of it. When people like me decide to set on our asses instead of picking ourselves up and trying harder, this country will collapse from its own weight.

I make no apologies that I can relate to the likes of Sara Palin more than any of the empty suits that have always been in power and have corrupted our system of government beyond repair.

My example of Palin hunting for her own food was only given in the context of self reliance as opposed to the parasites that keep getting elected because they promise goodies to people without thinking of the consequences of their actions. Some of the smartest people that I have delt with barely have a high school education, but they were successful business men and women anyway. They had something better than that - the drive to get up and go the extra mile to be successful despite their iniquities or roadblocks they encountered along the way.

I am a high school graduate... nothing more. Everything else that I have learned has either been in the school of hard knocks or from my desire to read as much literary material as I can consume.

I will confine any further post to the subject of this website and the interest thereof because I have made a lot of dear friends here that may not share my political views; and that's all right, because we share this one subject in common and help each other learn more about this fascination time in history... and that's good enough for me.

Man, I love “misunderestimate“ and the North Corean allies.
She sounds truly Dickensian in her vernacular.

We have a guy with his finger on the nuclear trigger now who never did anything in his life other than walk around with a clipboard.

Hi Stan,

Well, however badly you may dislike him, and for whatever reasons, at least he has some intellect. Now, of course, I realise that "Intellect" is a "dirty word" for many God fearing Americans, no doubt one of those God damn, Commie-Pinko, Socialist, "Old Europe" kind of words!!! Put it this way Stan, I would much rather have him in charge of the worlds largest Nuclear Arsenal than the former "Miss Wasilla", 1984!!!

Buts, lets allow her words to speak for themselves shall we???

"All of 'em, any of 'em that have been in front of me over all these years." --Sarah Palin, unable to name a single newspaper or magazine she reads, interview with Katie Couric, CBS News, Oct. 1, 2008.

"Well, let's see. There's ― of course in the great history of America there have been rulings that there's never going to be absolute consensus by every American, and there are those issues, again, like Roe v. Wade, where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So, you know, going through the history of America, there would be others but ―" --Sarah Palin, unable to name a Supreme Court decision she disagreed with other than Roe vs. Wade, interview with Katie Couric, CBS News, Oct. 1, 2008.

"'Refudiate,' 'misunderestimate,' 'wee-wee'd up.' English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!'" --a Tweet sent by Sarah Palin in response to being ridiculed for inventing the word "refudiate," proudly mistaking her illiteracy for literary genius, July 18, 2010.

"But obviously, we've got to stand with our North Korean allies." --Sarah Palin, after being asked how she would handle the current hostilities between the two Koreas, interview on Glenn Beck's radio show, Nov. 24, 2010.

"Especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn. That is reprehensible." --Sarah Palin, defending her fiery campaign rhetoric in the wake of the Arizona shooting massacre by invoking a phrase ("blood libel") that typically refers historically to the alleged murder of Christian babies by Jews, Jan. 12, 2011. Thats right Sarah, don't retreat, Reload!!!

"We believe that the best of America is not all in Washington, D.C. ... We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation." --Sarah Palin, speaking at a fundraiser in Greensboro, N.C., Oct. 16, 2008.

"We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada. And I think now, isn't that ironic?" --Sarah Palin, admitting that her family used to get treatment in Canada's single-payer health care system, despite having demonized such government-run programs as socialized medicine that will lead to death-panel-like rationing, March 6, 2010.

"Ohh, good, thank you, yes." --Sarah Palin, after a notorious Canadian prank caller complimented her on the documentary about her life, Hustler's "Nailin Paylin," Nov. 1, 2008.

Best wishes,
Zodiac.

Have the community organizer's grades been released?

Obama will still be in office December 31, 2012 even if he runs and loses so what are you saying?

It was a joke, Stan. I don't really believe that she would nuke us anyway. ;-) Still, you never know, with an idiot. Push the wrong button...

[sdreid]

And yes, I bet Sarah Palin would do it. She would nuke as all on December 31, 2012. ;-)
