Liberals' Palin Erotomania
They still talk about her even though she's in a kind of semi-retired mode and not running for anything. Liberals get all stalkery about her when her biggest political aspiration these days is to take to Twitter. The Obsession even led Martin Bashir off the deep end who wanted to go all Gothic on her. It's a political psycho/sexual mystery far surpassing their Bachmann fetish.

She's a media whore. Every time you hope she's gone for good she pops up spouting nonsense again somewhere. She's in denial about how irrelevant she really is.
ReplyDeleteTo the point where Martin Bashir wanted to urinate and defecate in her mouth and he called Michael Jackson a pervert!
DeleteIts the magnetism:
ReplyDelete"Her favorability rating in May of 2007, shortly after she took office, were 89%. She was the most popular Governor in the United States.
However that popularity seemed to be based on rhetoric rather than performance. As Alaskans watched her actual performance her popularity began a dramatic decline, and it never rebounded. By April of 2011 she had only a 36% favorability rating.
In July of 2012 only 29% of voters in Alaska had a positive feeling about Sarah Palin."
If you study politics that's a fairly common survey trend once somebody's been in office (see Obama).
DeleteYou'll just say anything to protect her, won't you?
DeleteYou act like I have a thing for her. From Day One liberals hated her and I've always wondered why. Theories abound - maybe it's because she didn't abort Trig, who knows?
DeleteOf course those are just polls.
ReplyDeleteLike: "CNN poll: 88% approval rating for pope in US"
He's the feelgood pope like tomorrow he'll say you can touch yourself while toking your medicinal joint. Ratzinger by comparison was more a male version of the grandmother in "Flowers in the Attic."
DeleteRatzinger is still around the Vatican someplace...they got an attic?
DeleteI still can't get over the fact you don't like the Pope. He's the best thing to hit the Church since BEFORE Vat II, the whole world has recognized and agreed to it, and you're just pissed off because he said it's time that the Church realizes there are other things to be concerned about besides abortion.
DeleteI simply don't agree with your follow-the-leader-no-matter-what-approach. In that case I may as well become a member of the sci-fis. Look if you're a socialist then he's your guy, I'm not so why does my view surprise you? The Church has always discussed and concerned itself with many other issues besides abortion so I'm saying his premise is wrong. Church teaching on abortion has developed and concretized over time, you can't just throw it out the window just because you're the pope. As I understand theology church teaching comes even before the pope and usually the pope goes along with it and follows it so it's never been an issue before. Also I'm not so sure the function of a spiritual leader is to say things people want to hear.
Deleteliberals are contributing to and will be the downfall of the United States of America.
ReplyDeleteAnd who’s to Blame?
ReplyDeleteConservatives tend to believe that the captains of industry are virtuous and that the government can’t be trusted.
Liberals tend to believe that government servants are virtuous and that corporations can’t be trusted.
But the truth is that psychopaths are psychopaths and Liberals are psychopaths… whether they’re in the private sector or government.
And there is no such thing as representative government or free market capitalism anymore. Big corporate money has coopted the government; and ill-guided politicians have destroyed the free market.
I love blanket statements. They say so much about those who make them.
ReplyDeleteKind of like your general views on conservatives (e.g. Duck). Conservatives can never misspeak or phrase things poorly, say things that can open themselves up to misinterpretation. It's always by nefarious design.
DeleteI nrver said negarious. I said it wasn't a first amendment violation.
ReplyDeleteSemantics and juxtaposition are not the same thing. In that case he also compared gay sex to infidelity, promiscuity and the word "the".
DeleteI'm in agreement with Jon Stewart's take on the whole Duck thing. If I may paraphrase and borrow from him if we can all be bumped from our jobs for saying ignorant shit how many of us would be left? Think about it.
DeleteDammit. Nefarious. damn autocorrect.
ReplyDeleteAnd apparently Papi ain't saying much you personally wanna hear.
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm part of that fringe 12%.
DeleteI can refer you to my mother, who says, "the Church is so hot about abortion and birth control but what about the pedophiles, that's okay? and always asking for money, like they have none. It's about time someone stopped talking and started doing."
ReplyDeletePapal favorability rankings - I'm going to theorize here. A pope, any pope will probably have a higher positive rating than say a US President. Rank your local priest vs. the Mayor or City Hall. Has there ever been a bad Dalai Lama?
ReplyDeleteWhat's this got to do with anything? Are you discounting hispopularity? If he was stumping for your personal pet cause youd say he was the best thing since sliced bread.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to put it that way. A spiritual leader is usually of a high moral character so that's gonna be automatically built into a public poll on his popularity or favorability rating. The Dalai Lama is always gonna have a very positive ranking and yet you or I may differ from him politically. A fireman will probably be more popular than a police officer. A cop can give you a ticket or arrest you for a minor offense, a fireman is just saving lives. Now if the next pope had a couple of bumper stickers on the back of his Popemobile - "Ayn Rand Rocks" and "Who is John Galt?" - you two would look like you just ate a raw onion and you'd be going the other way saying the papacy is an archaic and anachronistic institution. Just explaining the mechanics of public polling and why you should cut me some slack.
DeleteIn the interest of internet civility I'll cut you some slack. Everyone has their opinion and just about everyone has a different opinion. For example, IMO the papacy is archaic, but not anachronistic, for the former has been around a couple millennia and the latter has
Deleteover a billion adherents. Color me doubtful any catholic clergy would be
big Randians, though.
My bone with Francis is this -- stop acting like your political positions are all important parts of church teaching, this confuses the flock. Are Pope Francis' political views morally binding on the faithful? As long as he labels certain statements of his as these are my own political views as shaped by my faith I've no problem. Your link there while the sentiment is nice there are so many problems and I'm just gonna have to go with a no. I've never cared to read or comment at HuffPo anyway.
DeleteAs near as I can ascertain from the available statements, he refers to
Deleteeconomic views. It is we who assign politics to those economic views,
not Francis.
IMO economics and politics are inextricably entwined. In other words you can't criticize a capitalistic free-market system without taking on the political foundations of that system. Put yet another way a totally laissez-faire economic system cannot exist in a country whose political system is communism or socialism. Francis to me seems to be for more government controls and that was the clear implication of his words at least for me.
DeleteBack to Ms. Palin; she came in 3rd in the 1984 Miss Alaska contest, was educated in Idaho and had Canadian healthcare as a child. So, she is an interesting persona.
ReplyDeleteI'm still a little disconcerted that McCain picked her as VP candidate, though.
I've never fully understood the pick myself and in a way she overshadowed him after the pick. Maybe McCain was trying to shore up the erectile dysfunction crowd, dunno.
DeleteIMO, he was trying to shore up the hard right. He did...and lost the middle.
DeleteI don't actually agree here. Palin though a clear representative of the harder right didn't froth at the mouth and come across as a fire-breathing right-wing extremist. I think the middle which is key to most elections simply saw her as a dim bulb and didn't want her anywhere near foreign policy should something happen to a President McCain and let's face it he's no spring chicken.

ReplyDeleteThose of us who have had enough BS from the PC Police should be fed up with what these PC, liberals ass wipes are making out of this story on the beaded duck guy.
Their hypocritical, narcissistic intolerance has gone too far with this case..
They've jumped the shark with their race-baiting, language-manipulating, phony self esteem-building, forced inclusion silliness and it's clear that the pushback has begun.
This IS about the 1st Amendment .. And It should NOT be about the hypocritical, paranoid, intolerant narcissism of the PC Police, and how they want to punish and intimidate people.
The controversy over Duck Dynasty has little to do with just the Duck Dynasty. It's been building for a long time. It's all the, school children, the gun carriers, and yes the Gay communities hold on business like Chick Fil A etc. If the crap-ola continues it’s going to be the end of freedom as we know it. A guy shot his mouth off ...SO WHAT! What this is doing is giving credibility to the left and all of their double talking, double standards and hypocritical disposition.
Um... it won't be about the First Amendment until the United States Government takes action against Phil Robertson for what he said. To date, his First Amendment rights have in no way, shape, or form been violated. They don't apply between private parties (or employer/employee relationships)... they only apply between the government and the individual.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you've been misunderstanding your Constitutional rights. I hope this helps.
Maybe this will help. If you write a letter-to-the-editor to your local paper expressing your opposition to gay marriage can your employer suspend or fire you?
DeleteIt depends. Are you representing yourself as an employee or as a spokesman for the company? Do you work in a right to work state under 'at-will' employment? Are you a member of a union? Do you have a contract?
ReplyDeleteAll of these things bear nothing on the Constitution or on the First Amendment. That only applies to the government, not to private relationships or to employer/employee relations.
First off Phil Robertson did not shout fire in a theater where everyone was watching The Wolf of Wall Street and he didn't say Richard Simmons had sex with a Great Dane. Was Phil Robertson representing himself as an employee or spokesman for A&E? Don't think so. You know when you watch a movie on DVD and go to the special features section and there's always that disclaimer Lionsgate or whomever does not necessarily share the views that may be expressed by the people being interviewed? I thought we had all this stuff worked out by now. It bears repeating that GQ interviewer asked him a direct question so was he not supposed to answer? are only pc responses allowed?
DeleteI mean do you want a legal real answer or a theoretical construct? In reality in a right to work state your employer needs NO reason to fire you. I am sure this man had a contract. I am equally sure A&E checked with their lawyers before calling him. There is no first amendment violation, there is only a man with a big mouth being disciplined by his employer. The law already precedent in this.country's allows employers to fire you if they dislike your opinions.
ReplyDeleteYour last sentence - I've lived on this Earth for almost 50 years and I didn't know that.
DeletePeople have been fired for refusing to work on a holiday , helping customers , wearing wrong necktie , on your on your unpaid lunchbreak etc. ad nauseum. OK, so you are worried about the rights of this hirsute multimillionaire TV redneck..we understand.
ReplyDeleteI've never watched the show. It's more self-interest on my part, if they can come for him they can come for us my friend. Call it the Boomerang Effect.
DeleteNever seen it either. This 'they' that are coming after us...is that A&E Network. In which case you keep an eye out. Me, I'm avoiding places that encourage concealed carry.
DeleteI'm still trying to figure out why there's a hillbilly show on A&E like having Mother Angelica on the Playboy Channel.
DeleteJust about every cable channel has their top rated redneck series. Apparently popular with many viewers. I haven't figured out whether they want to live like that, or look down on the hillbillies. Boring and not educational, but there must be something about the genre.
DeleteMust be some leftover nostalgia for the Confederacy. They got any token blacks on those shows, some Scatman Crothers character at least delivering the mail?
DeleteWe got Cajun Country from the delta and Highway to Hell from British Columbia. I'm waiting for 'Mayors of Toronto', ya know?
DeleteI see Eliot Spitzer has a new gal pal.
ReplyDeleteIn brassville nc on new year's eve they drop a possum. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteHey you there back in Idaho get with the gossip.
ReplyDeleteDrat! Another year older.
ReplyDeleteI feel like the older you get the faster Time goes like ff'ing a bad movie. At the end of my life I think I'll roughly calculate how many hours of purely nonproductive time I went through from being caught in traffic jams to being behind a food counter during an especially slow day and no manager says go home an hour early. Time is such a precious commodity and it's a limited amount although usually quite generous by the Creator but man those wasted hours you can't get back!!
ReplyDeleteHad nitrous one time at the dentist for a 2 hour session. My watch ran backwards, and I ran a red light upon leaving. Some people seem to just
Deletelove dentist gas, but I've avoided it since.
& let's not forget that once upon a time PCP was a perfectly valid form of human anaesthesia.
DeleteAlways running across stuff: found out the redneck series "Swamp People" where they bait and shoot alligaters in the bayous, prefer and have always used ammunition I had a part in making over the years. Add that to USAF Warthogs,
ReplyDeletecoon hunters, 48 State Patrols, a couple of letter bombers, Interpol, US Army
5.56 and 7.62, random poachers and a couple assassination attempts. Ya make
the stuff, it goes out the door....
& you can hold your own in the Theology Dept. I'm impressed.
DeleteSaw on TV this morning that some of the western states that have legalized pot have stores sprouting up. They feature something for everyone, apparently:
ReplyDeletesugar free pot cookies, gluten-free marijuana jerky and some sort of peanut butter to make your morning toast zippier. Meanwhile, the few remaining Prince Albert
smokers are taxed, castigated and avoided. (although the tobacco store says they
STILL get kids asking if they have "Prince Albert In The Can"....What's next, pot
martinis?
I've talked about the contradictory public health messages before - cigs (even e-cigs) evil/pot good. CO getting like the Netherlands.
DeleteFrom the standpoint of a chef, will we bee seeing pot garnish soon?
ReplyDeleteI've never had it, how does it taste? Wouldn't be surprised and the first chef to try it will probably be Nigella Lawson.
DeleteDunno how it tastes. About the same as parsley? The Colorado shops had 4 hour lines. The mile high state- hash and assault rifles for all.
DeleteBecause the only thing better than carrying your guns everywhere is being high and carrying your guns everywhere.
ReplyDeleteThat's your libertarian utopia. Clowns on angel dust at kiddie parties that's down the road.
DeleteI am no libertarian.
Delete& remember some people feel the blind should own guns too so picture a stoned Mr. Magoo type accidentally shooting up the Ayn Rand Public Library.
DeleteAn NRA wet dream.
DeleteRodman should be careful, his new BFF might one day feed him to the dogs.
ReplyDeleteRodman took a whole team of retired NBA dudes. What the heck do they eat over there?
DeleteApparently dog is a hot item on the N. Korean menu. Maybe at the end of this year People magazine can name Kim the Sexiest Man of the Year. I know he's been angling for this for awhile and as Adam Levine said let's give George Clooney a rest.
DeleteSzechuan Shitzu?
DeleteI dont get why it's ok to eat one animal but not another.dog, pig, what is the difference really?
ReplyDeleteI can't really argue with you but I think it's an emotional pet thing. Dogs and cats are pets for much of the globe so it's kinda like incest.
DeleteCan it be true that when Kissinger first visited Red China, he enjoyed the
Deletewelcoming banquet, turned to Chinese dignitary and asked, regarding the roast, "Quack quack? The English-challenged notable smiled and replied with another onomatopoeia, "Oh...Bow-bow".
I never heard that one. As I recall ole Hitch wasn't a Kissinger fan.
DeleteKissinger is the only Kissinger fan. On the topic of Dog eating, we note that when the Lewis & Clark party descended out of the mountains into
DeleteIdaho, they were frozen and starved. The Nez Perce fed them well from
their cuisine of dried roots and smoked salmon. They quickly grew tired
(and sick) from that, so Clark, who craved red meat, arranged to buy puppies from the locals. They were happy to oblige, thinking the strange
white men to be animal lovers; but horrified to see them butcher the pups
and roast them on a fire. At the next palaver, an enraged warrior threw
a little puppy in Clark's face, shouting in Salish something about low-life
dog eater. Clark leaped to his feet, drawing his sword and only fast talking by Lewis, through Charbonneau, through Sacejewa, though a
Shoshone visitor, averted the first western Little Bighorn. Sort of a
unique cultural reversal.
So, you think Palin and Bachmann are cousins?
ReplyDeleteThey both got that crazy gene from somewhere.
ReplyDeleteMaybe as kids they were locked up together in an attic somewhere.
