I find it ironic you would point this out as it's Liberals themselves that claim to be the more open minded people.

Can't speak for the entire Republican party only for myself but Homosexuals or homosexual marriage does not scare me in the slightest. I think homosexuals should be given the right to marry.


And socialist government scare me because the idea that goverment has the right to tell me how much of my money I am "allowed" to keep should scare any free thinking person.

Whenever I hear a politician talk about "they need to give up something" or that something that someone worked for "isn't really thiers" I get cold chills down my spine.

That socialist goverments enable detrimental behaviour.

I don't want her governing a country when she possesses views that I view as antithetical to freedom. It's extremely simple, and the policies that she would push and possibly enact are as detrimental in my view as is a socialized economy to yours.

Try to step outside of your own perspective... please.

I really really doubt that. I'm reasonably certain that Sarah Palin Always has an angle. She's playing at a presidential run I'm pretty sure, I just really hope abandoning her post to pursue that comes back to bite her.

Why I Dislike Sarah Palin
by Omegavegeta

I dislike Sarah Palin for many reasons, but most recently because she can't take public life. Recently, after the whole Letterman joke thing, she decided to single out one liberal blogger who photoshopped the face of a conservative radio host over her child's face to illistrate how close Sarah is to said conservatives.

Sarah thought this was ridiculous & no one should "make fun of her retarded child" that way.

But Sarah didn't understand that the blooger was making fun of her, not her child.

So, as is the way with memes, when she decided to deride photoshopping over special needs children's faces, the internet decided it would make a bunch more.

Now, about a week later, she's resigning. Whether or not this is a ploy to get a head start on the 2012 elections remains to be seen. But what is known, is that in her resignation speech she stated:


And so, since she can't bomb the internet, she's quitting. Suffice to say, if she can't handle how the internet treats her, she'll never be able to handle President.

That'd make me happy if it were true. Anyplace you're reading those rumors from?

So far mostly shrieking liberal harpy websites, but the "scandal" actually surfaced last October in the liberal blogosphere. With so much crazy going on, it quickly got buried.

If the rumors have teeth, it'll be on the wider web tomorrow, no doubt.

Even now I'm looking at her photos from Runner's Magazine or whatever they were published in and thinking, "A body is a terrible thing to waste - by pairing it with that mind."

If she was blonde we'd expect it, you know? She fools us with the pretty brunette.

Edit: Realized this leaves Bobby Jindal and Mitt Romney as the top choices for 2012. I view this as win/win; they nominate Jindal and all the white supremacists give up and stay home, or the nominate Romney and all the evangelicals that can't stand Mormons stay home. Either way, it will mean 50% of the Republican party is out for the count (there's some overlap of course, so the fiscal conservatives like gbaji will still be there to dutifully vote for the opposition party.) This will spell terrible news for the downticket races.

Bad habit of spending money that's not hers on things she shouldn't be using it for.

Makes Rush Limbaugh look like an intelligent human being.


She doesn't really scare me, though. I just think that she would make am absolutely terrible president. Too far from center to even win in the first place, but because she's so far from center, it would limit her ability to agree with others both within her own staff as well as the rest of the world. Basically, it would make the Bush years look good.




Lets do this piece by piece.



It's perfectly fine to not believe in abortion. Hell, if it was my kid, I wouldn't want the girl I knocked up to get an abortion. BUT, not believing in it is far different from trying to force your beliefs on everyone else. I wouldn't want my girl getting an abortion, but, I have no problem with other people doing it. It's their right to make that choice on their own.

Just in case you're one of those religious, Pro-Life "You're killing an innocent person!" people, let me ask you this: How the **** does it affect your chances of getting into heaven if some person you don't even know gets an abortion?



Learn to spell, kid.

Anyway, promoting the use of condoms is not the same as promoting sex. Handing out condoms during a sex-ed class that also teaches abstinance as an option is pretty much saying, "Hey, look, we don't want you to be having sex, but a lot of you will do it anyway, so if you do decide to do it, please, use this.". And you know what? I really can't think of any really good way of arguing against the benefits of promoting BOTH abstinance AND safe sex. Try it, you'll lose every time.



A lot of these people who want creationism to be taught in public schools(separation of church and state aside) want it to be mandatory. If they make it an option, in high schools only, the classes will more than likely be filled. By all means, go ahead and teach creationism in public school, but make it optional, NOT mandatory. Also, it should not be taught as FACT, but instead as THEORY. The same should apply to the THEORY of Evolution. Nothing that can't be proven without any doubt whatsoever, should be taught as fact.

There's an interesting column written by the guy who does The Mud Flats, an Alaskan politics blog. The column itself is now hosted on The Huffinton Post since The Mud Flats couldn't handle the server traffic.

Anyway, the guy obviously isn't too fond of Ms. Palin but makes some good points regarding some of her claims. Most notably:

I don't think her speech was strange, for Palin. She basically was letting everyone know how she's already won the game, and there's nothing left for her to do because she's already perfected the state.

Her speech kind of reminded me of listening to speeches in highschool. She talked way too fast, with improper intonations and expressions. I dunno, just those videos are proof enough of why I dislike her. She's condescending and just plain dumb.

Nothing wrong besides the opportunity cost of anything else they could be learning during that time slot.

And it's taught in history; it's not valuable enough to merit a second class.

Elective? Sure if there is enough interest. Required class? Ridiculous.
