$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Cog', 'I') don't much care for Sarah Palin but the fact she infuriates progressives and liberals is a swell reason to keep her around.


Agreed.

Watching Palin and the Republicans and Obama and the democrats bicker over this stuff is like watching a cage match in pro-wrestling.

You know the fight is rigged, but its still pretty darn entertaining. 8)

Well if you don't mind her making people doubt the intelligence and sanity of her fans, but she seems to thrive on having people doubt her sanity and intelligence and her fans seem to enjoy similar treatment, so I guess it's all good. The stupid neurotic slag is all yours, enjoy.

Is there a conservative plan besides "infuriating progressives and liberals"? That is, aside from keeping progressives and liberals from accomplishing anything and keeping them infuriated, do conservatives have a plan for the US?

If, for instance, a liberal or progressive was tired of what is going on with the liberal/progressive agenda, where would they look to find out what the conservative agenda is besides "annoy and destroy liberals"?

Their "plan" seems to be finger painting on the wall with their own pooh. That's pretty much about it.

Palin is the seductive/castrating mother figure in leather (see Planty's picture) who's going to nip their "flaccid" "impotent" badness in the bud. Through in the guns and her incoherent speaking style, and she's the perfect den mother for a meth lab in a single wide trailer. The fact that she seems to be psychotic just makes her more alluring.

You notice how she says that the press only pretends to be concerned about rhetoric but it really a conspiracy against her? Sounds like she shares the shooter belief that the press is using "mind control" through some trick of "grammar." Look out she's got a gun!

It was announced today that the collapse in home prices after just two years of Obama's misrule is now greater then the collapse in home values through the entire great depression.

And what is the democrat's response to this economic disaster? What is the response of the democrats to the massive loss of wealth by Americans after just two years of Obama's incompetence? Its the same old crap from the democrats--- they are trying to blame Sarah Palin for a murder spree committed by a psycho-killer pothead.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ludi', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('mos6507', ' ')If we're doomed, the least we can do is hold onto a shred of personal integrity.


That's what I'd like to see more of here at po.com.

I wonder if it comes down to a choice between personal integrity and survival, which most people will choose?

I also wonder which choice will be the one that will prove fittest to survive, LOL.

No doubt throughout the ages there are a lot of unmarked graves/ditches where people who kept their personal integrity are buried/thrown.

In both the "Lord of the Flies" or "Deliverance", its best not to be the one who has to squeal like a Piggy.

Our leaders in relatively good times (both political and business) are already pandering, spoiled, greedy, incompetent fools with no personal integrity, so how long for all the rest of us to follow suit when much worse times arrive? LOL.

Yes Ludi, there is, you just disagree with it to the point you feel it doesn't exist, you have what is called a fixed delusion.
But on the other hand, "infuriating progressives and liberals"? is so easy and fun with the simplest presentation of facts, how can we resist?

Palin is histrionic, seductive, and castrating.

I think that is what you can't resist.

I think the stupidity is also part of what makes her irresistible to some people.

It's been called the housing bubble. There have been numerous threads on this site detailing the coming of this collapse long before Obama was President.

All those houses are like SUV's. They cost a lot to heat and cool, they are 30 miles from town and are too expensive for the average person to keep going. The problem is peak oil. We haven't adjusted yet. I was just looking at real estate, and productive land hasn't gone down much at all.

I'm glad you like Palin so much. There must be something about her that appeals to you. Is the attraction purely physical? Is there something about her rhetoric that makes you think she is just what the country needs? When she is in there and Todd's doing grass drags with his snowmobile on the White House lawn does that mean that your people are back in power and all will be right with the world?

Stupidity seems irresistible to the culture... intelligence, culture and logic are not revered. America is not a country that values ballet or chess, it values DWTS and NASCAR. That is why in America nerds get picked on in high school, and people like George W. Bush (who follows his "gut") got elected. "Idiocracy" is more a movie about the present than the future.

The education system is designed to crank out rote-memorizing morons with just enough literacy to be propagandized to by the corporate-owned MSM and no ability to think for themselves. That is why politicians synchonize phrases to be identical, so that it gets ingrained into morons, and gets the desired reaction, like Pavlov's dogs.

Read about Thomas Jefferson and the others and why they didn't like Aaron Burr. He was the self-serving prototype for modern politicians that the Founders (sadly) didn't think would become prevalent.

Over on Wikipedia, "libertarians" are trying to redefine "blood libel."

The leading user of blood libels (Sarah Palin) got busted, so now the Noise Machine has decided to chage the definition.

This really is a pattern. They got tired of being called "Fascists," so they tried to change the definition, and having wed themselves to the blood libel strategy of claiming a liberal conspiracy to kill them, they are changing the definition of "blood libel." A blood libel is a conspiracy theory that is an excuse for violence.

Now they are trying to say that criticizing someone for violent conspiracy theories is a blood libel, which is sort of like calling an arsonist a fireman. Yeah we saw that movie, and sure enough it was about a totalitarian state.

Obama apparently undercut one of the criminal charges against the shooter when he gave his speech in Tucson.

Obama undercuts part of government's case against shooter

Hard to believe Obama could screw up just giving a memorial speech, but on the other hand what doesn't he screw up. 8)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ludi', 'I')s there a conservative plan besides "infuriating progressives and liberals"? That is, aside from keeping progressives and liberals from accomplishing anything and keeping them infuriated, do conservatives have a plan for the US?

Hasn't their plan always been???
->Shrink the state as much as possible.
->Slash taxes.
->Slash benefits.
->As little regulation as possible.
->Private medicine.
->Individualism.
->Lots of guns, even for nutters.
->No abortion.

By slashing the state and taxes the argument is that you attract investment and jobs.

I'll go with that to a point but you have to have a balance between employer and employee rights.

The trouble is in my experience the right always hugely favour the employer.

Anyway, I'm just off to see my doctor who I don't have to pay safe in the knowledge that the chance of meeting a gun wielding nutter that has just spent his day getting wound up listening to hate speech is negligible.

It's not that we don't have them - nutters are not restricted to the US border - it's just that the society they live in makes it much more difficult for them to go out and start shooting.

Americans, you make your own choices and good for you - I'm just grateful for our socialised medicine, strict gun laws and 'incitement to violence' rules on free speech.

It sure would be nice to see some examples of this inciteful hate speech. Specific examples not general ramblings that amount too "I don't like what you said so it is hate speech!' type of non sense.

The only major hate speech I see is all coming from the side of Piven, she gives speeches calling for violence and revolutionary action.

Not sure who Piven is, help me out.
Actually a wonderful speech from the president last night. He completely abandons the batsh%% crazy left (see posts above) and focuses on the people killed and injured, including a conservative judge, and on the pathology of the person commiting the crime with no association to anything. When your liberal president moves to the middle, you have clearly lost the arguement.

I don't think this was a political shooting. I think this guy was really nuts and focused on killing Gabrielle Giffords.

Both sides have capitalized on this as a reason to say crazy things.

Palin is the one that has said the craziest things lately.
