Good for her!Public school teachers have been on a pedestal for too long....Too many do not care for children and are only interested in their salaries,benefits and pensions....and brain-washing kids into "political correctness"....
teachers are not all perfect by any means.far from it. and teachers unions are very disingenuous about their motives.which is to maintain their stranglehold on the nation and turn our children into mindless government dependents.employable wards of the state.
Independent thinkers are what made this country great! the soviets call them dissidents,and they are extinguished .
Palin is a quitter. She resigns from a good job under suspicious circumstances a job where she could actually be SERVING Americans and being a real leader in order to go become a celebrity. And why? So she can eventually run a doomed presidential campaign.
Ohhhhhh. What that really means is that - Oh, you are a teacher, therefore you are educated and know the issues. I can't bullshit her like I do the rest of Americans who connect with her
Interesting, we should "reconsider what Palin truly stands for" Ok, what does Palin "truly stand for"? Well, first and foremost, she apparently stands for illiteracy. She's also a dedicated promoter of ignorance. Oh, and don't forget intolerance, animal slaughter, and unearned arrogance. By the way, you didn't hear Palin referring to teachers' unions and their liberal agenda. You didn't hear anything other than "oohhh" with an eye roll and, yes, that was directed at the teacher.
I don't think she was purposefully dissing her, I think she's just not very bright with poor social skills. She's also historically, politically and scientifically illiterate.
Palin's teacher comment relates to the fact that many teachers (by way of their affiliation to the NEA) are liberal in mindset. It's sad that teachers are forced to belong to this teacher's union, but that's how we run our educational system in the U.S.. If you think Palin is somehow "against" teachers, I think you need to reconsider what Palin truly stands for. It's the teacher's union and their liberal agenda that you hear Palin referring to, not teachers themselves..
YOU CAN LOSE ZENNIE.....BECAUSE YOU DONT HAVE FACTS AND YOU SPEW ALL THIS MESS WITHOUT LOOKING ANY FURTHER THAN YOU WANT TO SEE.......
Do you know what a HIT PIECE IS ? Well......stop reading them about Sarah and find out some TRUTH.....as a SERIOUS blogger you should KNOW your "victims".
Hey Zennie....is that Michelle Bachmann site like Nancy Pelosi's comment ....."We have to pass the health care bill to SEE what is IN IT " ? Seriously? WHICH IS WORSE ? Pelosi should KNOW and TELL US what is in it......that is....IF SHE KNOWS OR ISNT HIDING ANYTHING........
That was a policy RAMMED down our throats......Michelle is just having a Town Hall.....get over it !!!! Her Town Hall wont KILL US.....the Obama Care ....may.....
FYI since you DIDNT KNOW that was Sarah's daughter with her....YOU LIKELY DONT KNOW THAT HALF OF SARAH'S FAMILY IS IN THE TEACHING PROFESSION / WORKS AT SCHOOLS !!!! Her father is a teacher.....some other family members as well.....and others work in other areas in schools.....
Sorry....she didnt "diss a teacher".....the woman ISNT ONE anyways....
AGAIN....KNOW YOUR FACTS BEFORE YOU GO SPEWING HATE.....
She "did that" cause once you have been PLAYED ENOUGH.....YOU KNOW one when you SEE ONE.....and guess WHAT? SHE WAS RIGHT ON......the lady was a FRAUD......
WOULD you have PREFERRED she ILLEGALLY USE STATE COMPUTERS to ILLEGALLY "INVESTIGATE" her for over a year like Obama did Joe the Plumber? Come to find out, the HEAD OF THE AGENCY, was a Obama activist, ACORN member, and had given the full amount allowable to get Obama elected.....INVESTIGATING A PRIVATE CITIZEN ILLEGALLY ON STATE COMPUTERS.....all because, he didnt like what Joe had to say or ask him? Yeah....sure.....that was OKAY..... right? Joe would have rather had an "eye roll".
Go tell YOUR BOSS that you will be off work more than AT WORK cause some idiots filed bogus lawsuits against you ......tell them I realize you NEED ME HERE.....but this wont stop cause....they just KEEP filing the lawsuits.....so expect me to be GONE ALOT......
Think YOUR BOSS would want you to REMAIN EMPLOYED ? NO RIGHT? RIGHT......Public employees are no different.....they are EXPECTED to BE ON THE JOB....she couldnt be two places at ONE TIME....Just like YOU couldnt....
Correct....Michelle Bachmann speaks out against Obama Care....big deal.....SO she did it on her site ? Her perrogative......her site.....get it ? Obama had kids WORSHIPPING and SINGING CHANTS to him on his during the campaign.....think that isnt SICK? You can HATE all you want....but SARAH OR MICHELLE ISNT GOING ANYWHERE.....and there isnt a DAMN THING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT but hate on them and bitch.....HA HA HA .....Get used to it !!!! Obama is DONE come 2012......no worries :)
Oh and BTW....YOU WILL LOSE...NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT ONE.....Get ready....CHANGE IS COMING and you will get to SUFFER just like we are with the monster you voted in last time.....
YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SARAH, not even that it was her daughter with her? LIke I said....IF you dont know anything or CHECK YOUR FACTS.....SHUT UP.....you dont need to be LYING....The woman was NO TEACHER.....It was ALL over the net this lady was a FRAUD.....a theater technician IS NOT a "teacher".
The woman was NOT upset that Sarah "quit" on Alaska.....it was BECAUSE of haters LIKE HER that Sarah HAD to "quit" cause you cant STAY in court on bogus lawsuits and BE ON YOUR JOB TOO ? Try that on YOUR job and see IF THEY DONT FIRE YOU ? She "quit" because, she couldnt effectively do her job as she could not be TWO places AT ONE TIME. Would you prefer she continued taking the check and NOT be there to do the job? Seriously would you? You would bitch then too right? SURE you would.
The "teacher" was not a teacher like I explained in the last post and it was a setup specifically meant to piss Sarah off. It was a game and Sarah could TELL It was a game. The "teacher" wasnt ONE, she belongs to a drag queen band, is in a administrative position at the local baby killing clinic, and does local liberal radio...in other words this woman is a Sarah hater and against ALL Sarah stands for. SHE IS A LIAR and this was a SMEAR TACTIC.....nothing MORE. You can google it .
Know your FACTS before speaking. First off, this was a SET UP , the woman was NOT a "teacher" she was some theater technician or something SHE LIED. Sarah KNEW this lady was PLAYING with her, she had a big ass sign up hating on her, and yeah she did a "Oh boy here we go again" ...BIG DEAL ! That was her daughter idiot, not a spokesperson. The guy with the camera was the guys husband, again A SET UP. More on next post....
@AUnknownC Sorry I made an error....the guy with the camera was the LADIES husband, sorry. BUT yes, it was a setup , staged/planned waiting for Sarah's arrival. When you go to START TROUBLE.....You usually FIND IT.....That wasnt a TOWN HALL....Sarah was there to FILM a documentary.....NOT satisfy some hater.
@jimitl5 So your solution is to resort to threats of physical violence because you have no logical rational ability to discuss why you disagree with them.
@awd3atms No logical reason? How about that I taught for 32 years and worked hard at the profession to do a good job and help as many young students as I could. Is that a good reason? These two idiots put down teachers most of which are good hard working professionals and I shouldn't have a reason to disagree? If thats what you think then you are an idiot too.
@jimitl5 You teaching for 32 years doesn't change anything. No teacher creates wealth. All are paid from the taxes of those who do. That is not to say the teachers are not valuable, but they have to recognize their salaries, pensions & benefits are paid for by the taxpayer. Teachers are not a elevated class. They are just part of society. As such their salaries, pensions & benefits do not deserve special status. They must be comparable to the private sector. In todays world, they are not.
@jimitl5 I question your teaching skills. Any person that results to calling another person an idiot and making threats of physical violence against those they disagree with shows me they do not understand the discourse by which people learn. If you taught children using the methods you have shown here, I would work to have you removed from your position as a teacher.
@jimitl5 It was a threat, just like this one. It's an alluded to threat, but none the less it's a threat. When people threaten others that's the indication they don't have a reasonable argument to make. It has nothing to do with conservatism or any other political philosophy.
I may be wrong, but I didn't really get the impression that Palin was rolling her eyes or meaning to "diss" the teacher. The teacher certainly didn't seem to get that impression, since she continued to say she'd had "other jobs..." Just sayin'.
While Palin was governor she made some mistakes but also did some good things. Remember, Palin WAS a teacher, herself, and has nothing against teaching. Teachers often represent their UNION more than their profession and Palin's response probably relates to that well-known issue. I think Palin would be a losing candidate but she's a great spokesman. Meanwhile, this nation can't afford "Obamacare" and it won't help reform healthcare. You should be against it too!
The full video shows them having a discussion. The lady is pissed because she seems to think Mrs Palin owes her something. I used to be a supporter of teachers. Until I found out they were just gov't indoctrination camps. I voted for many teacher pay increases, until I found out about the unions & retirement pkgs. JMO: Teachers have lost touch with reality & forgotten they are paid for by the taxpayers. They suffer from entitlement syndrome. I think that is why the Palins rolled their eyes. JMHO
@awd3atms You seem to forget that teachers ARE taxpayers! As a taxpaying teacher, I am sick of people who say that we forget that we are paid by taxpayers! Get a clue before you spout off next time.
@djp72992 All gov't employees get paid from the taxes collected from private wealth producers (PWP). Teachers & all gov't employees are only returning some of that money back to the gov't to be spent on other gov't employees. The $ the gov't borrows from the FED is private since the FED is a private banking cartel. All bonds are funded by PWP or foreign gov'ts which are funded by taxes on their PWP. Teachers only get paid as long as the PWP agrees to pay taxes. Thus teachers pay no taxes.
@ashish714 Oh yeah it was Bristol allright, I just wonder who the two guys were that were trying to interfear with the camera person , a couple hired thugs or her & Bristols boy toys
Your misinformation is only being distributed because your a negro trying to defend a faliure of a negro presidency. Where did you get your facts from, the negro excuse almanac.
Google it. The woman who said she was a teacher was lying. She isn't a teacher. It was a set-up. Compare that to Senator Bob Etheredge.....and the WHO ARE YOU, WHO ARE YOU politicians who HOLD office. Not even close.
I LOVE this man!!! Why are articulate, thoughtful, reasonable people like him only on YouTube?Why is someone as inarticulate, thoughtless, and unreasonable all over The Discovery Channel, magazine covers, TV, stump speeches for other reactionary pols? It's a world gone mad!!!
Sarah Palin has a whole family of teachers in her background. You are like Obummer who speaks before having the facts when he blamed the police for "doing something stupid" - You open your mouth and insert foot. Only one thing to say for your mentality... no I won't say negative thing and stoop to leftist name calling.

@DeafRanger Just because she's related to teachers doesn't mean she's carried on the teacher gene. I think she might've either picked up the recessive "ditzy goofball" gene from her family or had her head squashed by a pick-up somehow.
We get it you're too cool to stoop. So what. Again, no evidence was offered to the number or even existence of teachers in her family. Sadly, sir, you're just making claims as well. It's obvious that Mrs. Palin isn't an educator, we can all refudiate that. Come with a well formed opinion as well as evidence next time and be concise you dullard.
Fox News presenter states that "Main Stream Media" should have checked the facts, and they would have known that Palin has teachers in her family, so there is no way she would have rolled her eyes about being a teacher. Is Fox now going to say that Sarah supports teacher pay raises, and teacher unions also, because of her great admiration of educators. I have a brother in Politics, but I still roll my eyes over Politicians. Also what's with the "I'm milking cows" jester Sarah was making.
More lame ways of doing the "Palin is dumb" thing. "She is against science..." "She is against teachers..." blah blah blah...find some new stuff retards...lol...
PS - Her father is a teacher...both her grandparents (father side) were teachers...lol...
I don't like Palin. I think she's fake and the left pay way more attention to her then they should, but I'd react that way to teachers too. Not all teachers, but many, mostly in public schools and community colleges, are very biased and do more brain washing and revising history than actual teaching. I lost respect in teachers just from my own experiences going through school.
I believe the eye rolling was because she and her brainless daughter realized that as a teacher, this woman was obviously more intelligent than they. She also realized that fighting with this teacher would be a lose-lose situation since American's love teachers. So she rolled her eyes thinking, "Oh crap, I'm going to look bad in this situation no matter what I do." And exactly HOW is Palin defending our right to free speech and helping our military? By appearing in a reality tv show?
she is a media whore now poor governor..out for what she can get and money hungry and she may run..if not she is influencing some people it is a jole i am in anchorage and this video is irritating to watch..maybe he should learn how to point and shoot geez as the duh oh video is as bad ,if not worse,, hate to try to watch them and attention is what she wants..bad or good as hollywood knows(stay in the news) yuk
Don't we all have better things to do than to nitpick on every single "mistake" people make whether we like them or not. Not to mention... why are we still talking about Palin. MOVE ON.
I think she felt guilty for starting an argument with a teacher or she knew she was supposed to feel bad for teachers or something, I don't think it was a diss.
The unhinged left have got their panties in a bunch again because Sarah Palin confronted a far left whack-job for her rude sign in Homer, Alaska. Too bad she’s not a teacher. You see Kathleen Gustafson is a theater tech and a singer in a drag queen band…And a liar.
haha.. this faker isn't even a teacher.. she's a "theater tech" and a singer in a drag queen band. that's not teaching and is more evidence of the leftist loons that are posing and pretending to be something they're not in order to be relevant and attempt to taint their opponents - fakers at tea party rallies, phonies at ron paul and ran paul events, etc. - they just FAIL miserably and are exposed.
it kills me how people who don't agree with your videos come back week after week to make comments.... now in Sarah's defense, if someone told me i was the worst governor ever, i'd have more than a few words for them... so i understand the attitude, and i actually feel like she held back quite a deal, but with that said, she shouldn't have gone over to talk to her at all! not if she was trying to save face anyway
Research your stuff dude... you cant watch another youtube video then decide to do a video comment on it without knowing what really happend and the situation the people were in...
Wow. A mind reader. Or just a hater who assumes (and you know what assuming does) they know. Or just a manipulator that makes up and tries to fill in the blanks to find a way to bash someone he doesn't agree with. Either way your whole video lacks intelligence.
Sarah DID Roll her eyes. And so what if her family are all teachers. THAT does not make HER a teacher? Maybe she thought she took a more important roll, a politician (who quits her gov job) and a celebrity. THEN she says something about botox. Well botox doesn't keep you from moving your EYES. Just how stupid is she? Or how stupid does she think WE are? Disgusting. And good for the woman who nailed her!
Perhaps the teacher could teach both Palin and Bachmann some common sense. What's up with Palin's daughter's goofy hat? Maybe Sarah's teaching her daughter to dress properly so she doesn't get knocked up..........yep, it must have something to do with abstinence!
Dear Secular Leftists.... Where would all of you highly intelligent types be on election day without the Lumpenproletariat that -you- have created (as in Chicago since the 60's) and count on in the inner cities. Without your masses of ignorant poor blacks and latinos who fall for your race bating politics (divide and conquer), you would have to go back to school and learn enough economic history to understand that it is not "wealth sharing" that made America the envy of the world.
@psKESEY56 Well where will the Republican Party been in 10 or 20 years when it gets zero black votes and very few latino votes? Plus the GOP is getting less and less of the youth vote. In a very few years there will be no national Republican Party. What did President Lincoln say... about the poor? God must have loved them because he made so many of them... Something like that.
I don't think Sara Palin is against teachers. Both of her parents are teachers. She is rolling her eyes because a teacher is spending her summer off protesting someone who is not even the governor anymore. Get a life
@jjmcoates Let's look at this another way. Everyone makes states that Palin's family are teachers but no one points out that she did not follow in their foot steps. Perhaps she thinks she is above being a teacher? And being in government is better. Or skipping out as gov of Alaska is more noble.
sara palin and the teacher seemed to have a decent conversation. It ended well. Sara probably was thinking " wow another liberal activist teaching our kids".
For you Democrats that can not figure out the tables below, it means that Republicans are more highly educated and earn more than Democrats. But we all knew that didn't we.
@psKESEY56 really? That used to be the case in the 60s, 70s, & 80s but not now. Bush and McCain LOST the college-educated vote. The GOP is alienating university-educated people because they support religious nutsos like Bachman and "took 6 years of community college to get a 4yr degree" like Palin.
If the Republicans could get smart people like Nixon and Goldwater back they might regain that crowd, but they are slowly losing the college-educated professionals the last 10 years...
@psKESEY56 First, your table has no value because it doesn't list a source that can be validated. Second, without the total sampling and the margin of error, your numbers are worthless. Finally, if this is true, why are Bush and Palin so uneducated? Bush boasting about graduating from Yale with a "C" average when most respected graduate schools require at least a "B" to graduate. I guess being the president's son has merit.
@rpierre777 At least Bush had the cahonies to show his GPA. Unlike B.O. As the old saying goes (but you won't understand)... the "A" students end up working for the "C" students... that's real life.
@psKESEY56 No, he didn't show it. It was uncovered. He tried very hard to keep his non-political life a mystery.
As far as Obama goes, the fact that he was accepted to Harvard Law school means that he had to have had a GPA of no less than 3.3. That's the admission requirements (unless you can prove that Harvard lowered their standard just for him). And, he graduated Magna Cum Laude. If you need to a number written on a piece of paper, then you don't understand college.
@psKESEY56 Actually, your income is not highly correlated to IQ. There are many milionaires that are as dumb as a rock. Paris Hilton, for example, just like many others, is wealthy because of someone else's hard work and smarts.
@AlanMolstad She is speculating about running in 2010 (which is why she quit in the first place). If she didn't put herself out like, no one would point out the idiodicy that she commits on camera.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Zennie, You look Like an Idiot!!! That so called Teacher is not a Teacher at all!! She is a Cross Dresser!!! That is why Sarah Palin Rolled her eyes!!! Do your Research before you keep Looking like an Idiot!!!
@Tones4me1 Yeah, but it's to be expected online. I hate the news media who makes stuff up just because they don't like a particular person or political party.
@Zennie.... Research your stuff dude... you cant watch another youtube video then decide to do a video comment on it without knowing what really happend and the situation the people were in...
@cleal99 Thank you for taking the time to show your evidence of cross-dressing instead of making defamatory claims about someone you might not know. Thank you again for driving us all off topic. You're officially rude and stupid.
I'm reminded of an incident in Palin's past as mayor. She fired the public librarian for disloyalty after asking a 'rhetorical' question about banning books.
abcnews.go. com/Blotter/story?id=5766173&page=1
"According to coverage in the local newspaper, the Frontiersman, Palin asked the librarian at a meeting "if she would object to censorship even if people were circling the library in protest about a book.""
Hilarious, name a mayor that takes over and doesn't reappoint folks that she wants into appointment job placement positions. And that goes from Mayor up to President. If they want someone else in the job and you weren't appointed by them, get your resume ready. Had nothing to do with banning books lol wow...
@Corewen I wish those ways were in place in education. A new school superintendent in the old days, could be hired and then fire the whole teaching staff.
Obama and Duncan can see that the teachers are underperforming, under evaluated and too secure in their positions to deliver the goods.
@Corewen I doubt all mayors fire everyone who was hired by previous mayors. On the level of president, Bush put a lot of his own people in once elected, but not all presidents do that. Obama kept many of the same advisors as Bush. As I recall, Reagan kept the same economic advisor as Carter. That economic advisor was the source of some of Reagan's policies. As for the charge of banning books, it was never made clear what happened. The fired librarian was reinstated after the media attention.
He spent all of 2 minutes from the airplane to the limo. Wouldn't even take a hand written letter Governor Perry wrote to him. He flew into his state and wouldn't even meet with the man. Yeah no dis there at all.
@Corewen He did not. I have the video on my Fort Worth blog. Rick Perry met him at AF One ramp. They shook hands. Gov Perry wanted to hand a bull shit letter to the President of the United States. That is not something you do and Rick Perry knows the protocol. They had Rick Perry hand the letter to a staff member. I would not have even shook hands with a man that talks about taking his state out of the union.
@hnbbs Hilarious, the man points out that Texas "could" succeed if need be last year as a side comment and that is how we here in Texas think. Gotcha. I don't know about the protocol, can you send me a link to what the protocol is for a sitting US Governor to be able to talk to the POTUS when he comes to visit in his own state? He dissed the man and you know it and don't care, I get that. It was funny though, both the (D) running here in Texas told Obama not to come and he came anyway.
@Corewen Very good question. Where is the video? Seeing how YouTube isn't some sort of liberal consortium geared towards undermining True Conservatives/America/God, there should be a video. Hey, there's nothing to stop you from posting the video, too. The YouTube gestapo will not knock down your door. Stop playing the victim and dredge up the video or shut up.
@Anduie Video of what? Obama pushing the Governor of a sovereign state to the side when he visits his own state? That's pretty accessible via just about any news outlet you'd like to query. I'm pointing out that our POTUS has more respect for the Afghan President than one of the Governors of the USA. Latest polls has Backmann up 5 points after Sarah's eye roll btw. Remember, remember the 2nd of November! Nancy is just trying to get her unemployment benefits started early!
@Corewen You asked for the video, which makes me believe you think it's inaccessible. Or you think this account should have it, which is a little nonsensical. Are you seriously comparing the fall primaries with an attempt at a violent coup? I'll admit, I haven't followed the Tea Party, but it sounds like you are either aping "V for Vendetta" or you are hinting at a desire for a bloody coup which includes an execution of the head of state as well as destruction of the Congress.
@Anduie Playing dumb to my allusion that November will while not be bloody, will be a day of mourning for all Democrats in and that they will lose elections and thus control seems beneath you. And I asked for no video. I'm still trying to figure out what video you keep referring to. I was saying that this clip was a whole lot less news worthy than a sitting POTUS basically pushing a sitting Governor to the side so that he could go fund raise for a bunch that asked him not to even come.
@Corewen "That's nothing, Obama dissed the Governor of Texas today. Where's the vid on that? Oh right, doesn't fit the agenda."
It was not playing dumb, you were using language that implies an actual violent attack based on its historical significance. Seeing how you and I seem to be at a loss in terms of communication, can you explain "thus control seems beneath you"? Beyond being a non-sequitur, are you implying I'm a Democrat or in power? That I will be debased come November?
I typed in Obama Austin and this came up. Will this suffice?
/watch?v=GUfLyY1NqlQ
He spent all of 2 minutes with the man and wouldn't even accept a hand written letter basically begging him to sit down and talk and or visit the border. That's a diss.
@ManuelHung What did I say that was ambiguous? What did you find hard to understand in that the POTUS landed, spent all of 2 mins trying to NOT talk to the Texas Gov. Then wouldn't even take a hand written letter from the man.
@Corewen Perhaps I should have used misdirection, rather than obfuscation. It's a lousy tactic in debate (used ALL the time in political discussion) to bring in extraneous situations to somehow make a point. I don't see what the Texas letter hoo-ha has to do with this Palin video... at all.
Palin was rudely attacked by this teacher, who portrayed herself as 'objective' at first, but when (after her tirade) she admitted that she was a teacher, the attacker's political motives made her idiotic position clear to anyhow who sees the whole recording, as opposed to your little out of context snippet.
It should be against the law for someone who gets a government check to be a member of a union in that job. It should also be against the law for a homosexual secular humanist to be a teacher.
@greekdude75 The Tea Party is people who are fed up with outrageous government spending (which will lead to higher taxes), government encouragement of the erosion of our self-reliant ethic, and our accelerated drift, under Bush and Obama towards European style Socialism.
The Tea Party is apolitical, although a majority are conservative, self reliant individuals.
I'm sure Palin assumed that the lady was a public school teacher. To those on the far right, every public worker (except those directly working for the Republican party) are automatically suspect. A public school teacher might belong to one of those socialist unions that is destroying America. Also, everyone on the far right knows the liberal elite controls all the public school teachers which they use in their plan to indoctrinate America's youth.
I know a lot of teachers...all are liberal supporters of the NEA, Democratic Party, and higher pay for teachers, even in the face of declining income for those paying teachers. Are you serious that you do not agree that the predominant economic theory, and culture/political values being taught in universities are liberal? A teacher said to me recently that Milton Friedman was proven 'invalid' a long time ago, but he's never read Friedman!
@psKESEY56 Research shows liberals have higher IQs & higher education than conservatives. And most scientists identify as liberals. But some fields such as business management & engineering are more attractive to the conservative mindset. Research shows a strong correlation b/t liberalism & intellectual curiosity. However, public school teachers are different than professors. Research shows public school teachers are more conservative (conscientious, rule oriented, & strong sense of duty).
@MarmaladeINFP You say so? Please point me to that research, and please consider the source before directing me to a Huffpo editorial. I do know from experience that IQ does not correlate all that well to ability to function, define reality, or make logical, real world decisions. As Howard Gardner (Harvard) has argued, there are multiple intelligences... possibly your edu friends lean in one direction, whereas business/math types lean in another. Marx = brilliant mind but real world failure.
@psKESEY56 I'm familiar with Howard Gardner and agree with him. There are different kinds of intelligence. Still, IQ is a very helpful measure in determining success in many different aspects of life: academia, scientific research, legal field, politics, & business. Most successful people test as having high IQs. I do think it's problematic, though, that our society doesn't reward other types of intelligence that are of great value to society.
@psKESEY56 I would disagree with what you are implying (which is a favorite talking point of conservatives). The data doesn't show liberals lack practical knowledge. I'd direct you to the post of mine I linked to. Pew data (Beyond Red vs Blue), shows the demographic they label as Liberal (which isn't the same as the Democratic party which includes many conservatives) has high rates of small business ownership and high rates of trading stocks and bonds.
@psKESEY56 In terms of the parties, there is an interesting shift. During Reagan's administration, supposedly the Republican party had a higher average IQ. But ever since that time, the Democratic party has had the highest average IQ. The Democratic party attracts the most intelligent Americans. The average IQ of Democrats would be even higher if it weren't for the fact that the Democratic party also attracts poor minorities who test the lowest in IQ.

I don't think she was purposefully dissing her, I think she's just not very bright with poor social skills. She's also historically, politically and scientifically illiterate.

Palin's teacher comment relates to the fact that many teachers (by way of their affiliation to the NEA) are liberal in mindset. It's sad that teachers are forced to belong to this teacher's union, but that's how we run our educational system in the U.S.. If you think Palin is somehow "against" teachers, I think you need to reconsider what Palin truly stands for. It's the teacher's union and their liberal agenda that you hear Palin referring to, not teachers themselves..

jimitl5 1 year ago
@jimitl5 You teaching for 32 years doesn't change anything. No teacher creates wealth. All are paid from the taxes of those who do. That is not to say the teachers are not valuable, but they have to recognize their salaries, pensions & benefits are paid for by the taxpayer. Teachers are not a elevated class. They are just part of society. As such their salaries, pensions & benefits do not deserve special status. They must be comparable to the private sector. In todays world, they are not.

Jayee123 1 year ago
While Palin was governor she made some mistakes but also did some good things. Remember, Palin WAS a teacher, herself, and has nothing against teaching. Teachers often represent their UNION more than their profession and Palin's response probably relates to that well-known issue. I think Palin would be a losing candidate but she's a great spokesman. Meanwhile, this nation can't afford "Obamacare" and it won't help reform healthcare. You should be against it too!

@djp72992 All gov't employees get paid from the taxes collected from private wealth producers (PWP). Teachers & all gov't employees are only returning some of that money back to the gov't to be spent on other gov't employees. The $ the gov't borrows from the FED is private since the FED is a private banking cartel. All bonds are funded by PWP or foreign gov'ts which are funded by taxes on their PWP. Teachers only get paid as long as the PWP agrees to pay taxes. Thus teachers pay no taxes.

I lost respect in teachers just from my own experiences going through school.

I believe the eye rolling was because she and her brainless daughter realized that as a teacher, this woman was obviously more intelligent than they. She also realized that fighting with this teacher would be a lose-lose situation since American's love teachers. So she rolled her eyes thinking, "Oh crap, I'm going to look bad in this situation no matter what I do." And exactly HOW is Palin defending our right to free speech and helping our military?

@Corewen I doubt all mayors fire everyone who was hired by previous mayors. On the level of president, Bush put a lot of his own people in once elected, but not all presidents do that. Obama kept many of the same advisors as Bush. As I recall, Reagan kept the same economic advisor as Carter. That economic advisor was the source of some of Reagan's policies. As for the charge of banning books, it was never made clear what happened. The fired librarian was reinstated after the media attention.

That is not something you do and Rick Perry knows the protocol. They had Rick Perry hand the letter to a staff member. I would not have even shook hands with a man that talks about taking his state out of the union.

@hnbbs Hilarious, the man points out that Texas "could" succeed if need be last year as a side comment and that is how we here in Texas think. Gotcha. I don't know about the protocol, can you send me a link to what the protocol is for a sitting US Governor to be able to talk to the POTUS when he comes to visit in his own state? He dissed the man and you know it and don't care, I get that. It was funny though, both the (D) running here in Texas told Obama not to come and he came anyway.

@Corewen Very good question. Where is the video? Seeing how YouTube isn't some sort of liberal consortium geared towards undermining True Conservatives/America/God, there should be a video. Hey, there's nothing to stop you from posting the video, too. The YouTube gestapo will not knock down your door. Stop playing the victim and dredge up the video or shut up.

@Anduie Video of what? Obama pushing the Governor of a sovereign state to the side when he visits his own state? That's pretty accessible via just about any news outlet you'd like to query. I'm pointing out that our POTUS has more respect for the Afghan President than one of the Governors of the USA. Latest polls has Backmann up 5 points after Sarah's eye roll btw. Remember, remember the 2nd of November! Nancy is just trying to get her unemployment benefits started early!

@Corewen You asked for the video, which makes me believe you think it's inaccessible. Or you think this account should have it, which is a little nonsensical. Are you seriously comparing the fall primaries with an attempt at a violent coup? I'll admit, I haven't followed the Tea Party, but it sounds like you are either aping "V for Vendetta" or you are hinting at a desire for a bloody coup which includes an execution of the head of state as well as destruction of the Congress.

@Anduie Playing dumb to my allusion that November will while not be bloody, will be a day of mourning for all Democrats in and that they will lose elections and thus control seems beneath you. And I asked for no video. I'm still trying to figure out what video you keep referring to. I was saying that this clip was a whole lot less news worthy than a sitting POTUS basically pushing a sitting Governor to the side so that he could go fund raise for a bunch that asked him not to even come.

@Corewen "That's nothing, Obama dissed the Governor of Texas today. Where's the vid on that? Oh right, doesn't fit the agenda."
It was not playing dumb, you were using language that implies an actual violent attack based on its historical significance. Seeing how you and I seem to be at a loss in terms of communication, can you explain "thus control seems beneath you"? Beyond being a non-sequitur, are you implying I'm a Democrat or in power? That I will be debased come November?

He spent all of 2 minutes with the man and wouldn't even accept a hand written letter basically begging him to sit down and talk and or visit the border. That's a diss.

@ManuelHung What did I say that was ambiguous? What did you find hard to understand in that the POTUS landed, spent all of 2 mins trying to NOT talk to the Texas Gov. Then wouldn't even take a hand written letter from the man.
Corewen 1 year ago
@Corewen Perhaps I should have used misdirection, rather than obfuscation. It's a lousy tactic in debate (used ALL the time in political discussion) to bring in extraneous situations to somehow make a point. I don't see what the Texas letter hoo-ha has to do with this Palin video... at all.

Zennie, do you have any idea how ridiculous you look and sound?
Keep up the attacks, crazy man - it's proof that she has you running scared and you don't know whether to wind your watch or shit your pants.
Don't forget to call her a racist, you proven misogynist.

@zennie62 Palin insulted the teacher. I do like Sarah, but she's made a ton of errors.
zennie62 1 year ago
Palin was rudely attacked by this teacher, who portrayed herself as 'objective' at first, but when (after her tirade) she admitted that she was a teacher, the attacker's political motives made her idiotic position clear to anyhow who sees the whole recording, as opposed to your little out of context snippet.

It should be against the law for someone who gets a government check to be a member of a union in that job. It should also be against the law for a homosexual secular humanist to be a teacher.

What is the tea party or tea party movement exactly? I'm not in the US, yet CNN mentions this all the time.
greekdude75 1 year ago
@greekdude75 The Tea Party is people who are fed up with outrageous government spending (which will lead to higher taxes), government encouragement of the erosion of our self-reliant ethic, and our accelerated drift, under Bush and Obama towards European style Socialism.
The Tea Party is apolitical, although a majority are conservative, self reliant individuals.

I'm sure Palin assumed that the lady was a public school teacher. To those on the far right, every public worker (except those directly working for the Republican party) are automatically suspect. A public school teacher might belong to one of those socialist unions that is destroying America. Also, everyone on the far right knows the liberal elite controls all the public school teachers which they use in their plan to indoctrinate America's youth.

@MarmaladeINFP You seem to have gotten it right.
I know a lot of teachers...all are liberal supporters of the NEA, Democratic Party, and higher pay for teachers, even in the face of declining income for those paying teachers. Are you serious that you do not agree that the predominant economic theory, and culture/political values being taught in universities are liberal? A teacher said to me recently that Milton Friedman was proven 'invalid' a long time ago, but he's never read Friedman!

@psKESEY56 Research shows liberals have higher IQs & higher education than conservatives. And most scientists identify as liberals. But some fields such as business management & engineering are more attractive to the conservative mindset. Research shows a strong correlation b/t liberalism & intellectual curiosity. However, public school teachers are different than professors. Research shows public school teachers are more conservative (conscientious, rule oriented, & strong sense of duty).
MarmaladeINFP 1 year ago
@MarmaladeINFP You say so? Please point me to that research, and please consider the source before directing me to a Huffpo editorial. I do know from experience that IQ does not correlate all that well to ability to function, define reality, or make logical, real world decisions. As Howard Gardner (Harvard) has argued, there are multiple intelligences... possibly your edu friends lean in one direction, whereas business/math types lean in another. Marx = brilliant mind but real world failure.

@psKESEY56 I wrote a post a while back where I included some of the data and linked to the sources. Here it is:
benjamindavidsteele.wordpress. com/2010/04/15/liberal-pragmatism-conservative-dogmatism/
And here is the data about public school teachers being more liberal (psychologically speaking):

@psKESEY56 I'm familiar with Howard Gardner and agree with him. There are different kinds of intelligence. Still, IQ is a very helpful measure in determining success in many different aspects of life: academia, scientific research, legal field, politics, & business. Most successful people test as having high IQs. I do think it's problematic, though, that our society doesn't reward other types of intelligence that are of great value to society.
MarmaladeINFP 1 year ago
@psKESEY56 I would disagree with what you are implying (which is a favorite talking point of conservatives). The data doesn't show liberals lack practical knowledge. I'd direct you to the post of mine I linked to. Pew data (Beyond Red vs Blue), shows the demographic they label as Liberal (which isn't the same as the Democratic party which includes many conservatives) has high rates of small business ownership and high rates of trading stocks and bonds.
MarmaladeINFP 1 year ago
@psKESEY56 In terms of the parties, there is an interesting shift. During Reagan's administration, supposedly the Republican party had a higher average IQ. But ever since that time, the Democratic party has had the highest average IQ. The Democratic party attracts the most intelligent Americans. The average IQ of Democrats would be even higher if it weren't for the fact that the Democratic party also attracts poor minorities who test the lowest in IQ.
