I'm glad the president has no real power, because if Sarah Palin ever gets the presidency(pray to your god that doesn't happen) she would be able to truly turn this almost christian country into a full blown no homo nation.
Palin needs to get hit in the head and go mute, Making billions happy that we dont have to listen to her speak anymore. My ears cannot take that much crap being stuffed into them.
Hey hermit, maybe you should get out sometimes. Staying at home and drinking nothing but liberal Kool-Aid does nothing but rot your brain. Oh, sorry, that has already happened.
If it's a culture war you want, it's a culture war you're going to get. Be prepared to be thrown on your ass!
yes... hopefully the ring wingers wont get as progressive as the left wing-nuts and start burning churches (Wasilla, AK), and attacking innocent children (Palins kids), or calling in bomb threats to high schools (Wasilla High School) lets hope those conservative crazy's dont fight fire with fire.................... that just wouldnt be right
I love this term "progressive". Thing is, though you support "progressive" ideas and put down ideas that don't agree with you (tolerance isn't big for "progressives"), you never say to what you are progressing. Now, experience tells us you are taking 100 years of "progress" to take us closer to government run socialism (individual run socialism is completely different). Of course, when government runs socialism, that's marxism.
rioting and looting in chile. they're burning down buildings. people being put in prison for stealing diapers and water.
you'll never see these negative images on our white-supremacist network news "government" and brainwashing tool or the KKK-insurgent video posters on youtube because the victims aren't black.
God's wrath will come down on us soon enough for all the evil our media and its brainwashed sheep do.
Now starting from the premise of value relativism that there is no one objective morality one must also conclude that there is no objective Platonic "Good" or objective Aristotelian "telos."
Hence any change (in this case political) can not be towards an objective good -because according to value relativism there is no objective morality to define an objective good. Hence there can be no such thing as progress either. So my question is why do progressives call themselves progressive?
Regressives hmm. Now I do agree with you on Palin being nuts with creationism, but let's look at the larger picture and deconstruct "regressive" here.
Regressive is by definition the opposite of progressive. And progressivism is natural an ideological orientation towards progress. But what do we mean when we say "progress?" Progress objectively speaking is movement towards some objectively desirable or "virtuous" goal. But now many "progressives" oftentimes deny that there is objective virtue.
FOX has a gift for co-opting every right wing hick from Rove, Huckabee and now her. I predicted they would hire her before they lost the election in 2008.
Did you see her expression when interviewed by Glen Beck? Stewart was right, it was like Hanible Lecter speaking with Clarice Starling. I bet Beck had a woody.
I started this video and nearly clicked it off. Then I stayed and nearly clicked it off later. Then I stayed and nearly clicked it off again. Then I stayed and it ended.
Brown was Right! Bush was Right! Palin was Right! Rush was Right! Fox was Right! Tea Party was Right! Coakley Wrong! Obama Wrong! Olberman Wrong! Pelosi Wrong! Liberals Wrong!
The more Palin speaks, the more her appeal is reduced to some visceral emotion. Except for a few superficial talking points left over from the campaign, she has nothing to say. Even other "analysts" on FOX are describing her sound bite commentary as "unintelligible".
The truth is; FOX is using Palin to boost their ratings at her own peril - which will be considerable as her attempts to slide by with no real effort is compared to the performance of real political "analysts".
@Shufflerisms Amen, by the time Palin stops talking, you are wondering what planet you are on. Michele Bachmann is the same way. Ask her a question, and by the time she is done, you are wondering what you asked....
Baffle um' with bullshit is the only thing they know how to do. The thought that she could have been our VP and/or President scares the dogshit out of me!
@RobertHartlepool LOL! I was thinking that too, who's dumber Palin or Bush. I would have to still say Palin. lol. She couldn't name ONE founding father of America. I think O'Reilly knows she's a dumb ass, O'Reilly maybe arrogant but he's no dumb ass. He has to be somewhat polite,due to her popularity on the right, he works for FAUX news. lol.The ones with education on the right know she is zero material for presidency. Scary shit if they run her. It's scary how popular she is.
american politics is a big fat joke because there is way to much religeous influence, if idiots like palin did not advertise that they believ in god so much they would not get half the votes they get even if she had the same political views she has now, to many dumbasses just vote because they are on the same dumb stupidity level as her, it has nothing to do with her political views, they just trust her because she is a creationist, it is hilarious, america needs more education and less church.
Communism is no longer relevant, there's no grand conspiracy in the white house to make the U.S. a commie nation. You regressives are all fucking stupid.
Please go kill yourself, you'll be doing the world a favor. Since you're busy slowly killing everyone else with your shitty culture and policy.
isn't the neo-red baiting hysterical? THE COMMIES ARE TAKING OVER! suddenly it's 1958 again...except this time there are no actual commies around. thanks Glenn Beck!
As long as we allow our news stations to air these shows that are purely made up of opinions, our society will be brainwashed by the ideas of those producing the shows. We must demand that they rename these shows to 'entertainment' instead of news. Perhaps our country needs to pass legislation to define what can be called news. Right now there is a filter on all information reaching the u.s. people that should be called shameless infotainment.
I do not call progressives names even though I disagree with them. Calling us regressives is condescending and arrogant IMHO. I respect your opinion , but can we stop the school yard name calling - it brings down your message, lowers the American conversation, and turns others away from politics. thx
The biggest mistake the East Germans made was not letting their citizens travel.
They would have lost many greedy professionals, trained at state expense, but most of the best, after tasting Capitalist emptiness, would have returned and have been all the more loyal to what was being forwarded as a human enterprise.
The Third Way is a fraud obviously as is "Social Welfare" as Socialism, which is just the Western European stop loss for the collapsing Capitlaist economic and political model.
The Russians are great at blowing phony Slavic mystical "we're spiritual & alive, the west is materialist and dead" sunshine up their butts for centuries yet all they seem to be able to create is war, famine, poverty, oppression, mass murder and unhappiness on a titanic scale.
In the high plains and savannah of East Africa, obtaining firewood from the scattered stands of timber is absurdly easy compared to many other terrains, even well forested.
The reason is the African elephant which periodically seems to play at destroying trees.
Since the African variety of elephant is a creature of grasslands, the play, or whatever it is called, is economically productive.
The more timber destroyed--the more grassland, and the more terrain fit to the African elephant.
Do elephants talk? Indeed they do, as is just beginning to be unveiled to the curious, if fairly primitive creature that is homo sapiens. do they have an oral literature--or epics about themselves?
This is not known.
Perhaps, perhaps not. Contemporary Homo sapiens is not yet advanced enough in the language and culture of non-humans to know.
Russian economists and analysts of the West might ponder the African elephant in regard to the NATO war against Yugoslavia, which on the surface, and amid all the pretexts of Clinton and PR and the rest, including most of the leaders of the EU, made no sense, and looked like gratuitous, if very vicious and anti-Russian play.
In fact it does not much matter what the US and NATO thought they were doing or said they were doing in the war crime that was the attack on Yugoslavia, or what was left of it.
The real significance was analogous to the African elephant destroying stands of timber--to wit, producing conditions that jibed with the survival of both predatory US Capitalism and the seemingly "Socialized" European varieties.
It is exactly in the analogy of the US attack on Yugoslavia as African elephants destroying trees that the Russians, now over most of the hangover of the flaws of old Soviet Communist statism, should ponder.
What was it about Yugolsavia that the African elephant that is the US felt compelled to destroy?
When that question is seen in the right light, it will unveil both the real economic motives behind the US and NATO attack, and also provide the key to the US attack and occupation of Iraq.

You missed the Libertarian Movement! We don't want to regress into what have seen, and we don't want to progressively give up our rights. We want to be treated like the educated adults that we are. Viva la rEVOLution!
Its not about survival of the fittest and let the rest starve. Perhaps you have been fed some bad information about what it means to be a modern day libertarian. Think for yourself, not for anyone else.
Wow, yes invalidate the entire movement because it may lead to a Cheetos shortage. We are not children, I don't want or need a government to make sure I wear a bike helmet. And you are right our economy is not "moronic" at present. We will just keep inflating the dollar into non existence. YAY bernankie all hail his wisdom and guidance.
"Competition is merely the absence of oppression" "The state is the great fictitious entity by which everyone seeks to live at the expense of everyone else." - Fredric Bastiat. Not a libertarian at all.
That is not a true argument, but an attack at my person. Which leads me to believe that you are at a loss. Thank you for an engaging trolling adventure, have a good evening.
Even though you literate well, your text has no apparent substance. Please continue to comment randomly throughout the night, in a vain attempt to attain self importance. Good Night.
You sir are taking a direct quote I listed from a man you sited ,Fredric Bastiat, and trolling over a definition in its simple form. Not accounting for its intended context. Its like arguing about the exact color of a cobra as it spits in your face. Its a non issue.
Are you a libertarian? If so, I have a question: why do libertarians stand for personal liberty, but deny the unborn in our society personhood, then couple that with the 'right' of a woman to murder her child? I haven't heard a good argument for this yet.
And I don't consider 'well, our courts have denied them personhood', because Neal Boortz and the other libertarians I've listened to have no use for the courts any other time. Plus he hates on pro-lifers.
I am a pro-lifer, However, I think that this issue has been such a sticking point that its blinded the republican party from acting wisely on other major issues. Its not logical to vote solely on this one, however very important, issue. As a woman and a mother its heart wrenching to think of how many babies are dieing daily. I stand for the right to think for yourself, and not be told how to think. Not for the absence of morality.
I understand something of the sensitivity of this issue. I've been a member of Right to Life for almost 20 years. I've dealt with, helped, and supported women who had to make this tough decision.
Now I'm asking you if you can be honest enough to admit that carrying a child is a totally unique circumstance in life. Nothing else can compare to it. As a mother, you know that better than I do. The life you carry in your body is a separate entity--another human being.
As I see it, the impass in the argument among honest people, who are not simpy using abortion as 'birth control', is whether the child is a person. Liberals have fought tooth and nail over the years to deny the unborn personhood, apparently making it easier for them to murder the child and not suffer a guilty conscience.
Republicans have tried to push the issue out of their platform. Why should pro-life Republicans sacrifice their convictions? Keep the pro-life plank.
I created "Just say no child left behind". If they do poorly in pre-k all the way up to twelfth, incarcerate their dumb butts! Fisher Price tools are horrible construction tools, but they make lousy shivs, and you cannot convert flour paste into anything addictive.
"The business community is so filled with greed that the bottom line means more to corporate America than the lives of the people and America's well-being as a nation. Now both the business community and the nation are in trouble, and the business community is asking the taxpayer (through the government) to bail it out...."
"The fundamental motivation in this society is greed and the preying upon the weak of the country and the weak of the world, versus sharing wealth in cooperation with the weak and the poor..."
"The only objects of a practical reason are the good and the bad. For by the first, one understands a necessary object of the power of appetition (Begehrungsvermoegen), and by the second, a necessary object of the power of aversion (Verabscheuungsvermegen)..."
"If we don't make earnest moves toward real solutions, then each day we move one day closer to revolution and anarchy in this country. This is the sad, and yet potentially joyous, state of America...."
Sarah Failin', puttin' the "Con" in "Contributor" for FOX Noise, "We Decide, You Follow".
I'm never really sure whether Rupert Moloch and his "Ministry of Strewth" is just having a hugely ironic laugh at how gullible people REALLY are with his blaring, blatant propaganda and spastic ass-clowns who pump it into the telescreens in the land of the Stupid, Home of the Braindead.
It seems too OTT even for a Reich-wing tub-thumping bunch of loonies, but maybe they've sussed the GOP psyche ?
Wow, do you think if you speak fast enough people won't catch how far of a stretch your "tying" of ideas really are. I mean, sure trying to use a large vocabulary will help hide how little sense you are making but only to those same people who feel Palin is a smart talker. Anyway, I love how you end it, like oh so many other ingenuous people do... and that is asking for money. Laughable.... money for what? The ink and paper you wrote that carp on. Forget it.
The Right Wing is like the Jehovah's Witnesses on your front porch--the only reason they talk at all or seem to discuss is to persuade you are wrong and they are right.
FOX appeals to the uneducated, deliberately un-informed, paranoid, bloodthirsty, flag-waving, racist assholes that crawl all over America. Palin is a perfect fit for that "network" (corporate-serving, anti-truth, right-wing propaganda machine).
In the Encomium, Gorgias likens the effect of speech on the soul to the effect of drugs on the body: Just as different drugs draw forth different humors from the body some putting a stop to disease, others to life so too with words: some cause pain, others joy, some strike fear, some stir the audience to boldness, some benumb and bewitch the soul with evil persuasion

Its not about survival of the fittest and let the rest starve. Perhaps you have been fed some bad information about what it means to be a modern day libertarian. Think for yourself, not for anyone else.

"Competition is merely the absence of oppression" "The state is the great fictitious entity by which everyone seeks to live at the expense of everyone else." - Fredric Bastiat. Not a libertarian at all.

You sir are taking a direct quote I listed from a man you sited ,Fredric Bastiat, and trolling over a definition in its simple form. Not accounting for its intended context. Its like arguing about the exact color of a cobra as it spits in your face. Its a non issue.

Actually it is pertinent exactly because it is Bastiat, and not, say, David Ricardo.

@BraveWomanCandy
Are you a libertarian? If so, I have a question: why do libertarians stand for personal liberty, but deny the unborn in our society personhood, then couple that with the 'right' of a woman to murder her child? I haven't heard a good argument for this yet.
And I don't consider 'well, our courts have denied them personhood', because Neal Boortz and the other libertarians I've listened to have no use for the courts any other time. Plus he hates on pro-lifers.

I am a pro-lifer, However, I think that this issue has been such a sticking point that its blinded the republican party from acting wisely on other major issues. Its not logical to vote solely on this one, however very important, issue. As a woman and a mother its heart wrenching to think of how many babies are dieing daily. I stand for the right to think for yourself, and not be told how to think. Not for the absence of morality.

@BraveWomanCandy
I understand something of the sensitivity of this issue. I've been a member of Right to Life for almost 20 years. I've dealt with, helped, and supported women who had to make this tough decision.
Now I'm asking you if you can be honest enough to admit that carrying a child is a totally unique circumstance in life. Nothing else can compare to it. As a mother, you know that better than I do. The life you carry in your body is a separate entity--another human being.
theRightizright 2 years ago
@BraveWomanCandy
As I see it, the impass in the argument among honest people, who are not simpy using abortion as 'birth control', is whether the child is a person. Liberals have fought tooth and nail over the years to deny the unborn personhood, apparently making it easier for them to murder the child and not suffer a guilty conscience.
Republicans have tried to push the issue out of their platform. Why should pro-life Republicans sacrifice their convictions? Keep the pro-life plank.
