The Truth They Dare Not Speak

Commented Oct 04, 2009 at 10:51:21 in Politics

“The "stimulus package(s)" should have been BOTTOM UP rather than top down (or trickle down). Where is the highly successful MICRO LOAN program for America? The same crooks are running the same coin game, bailed out by the taxpayers. Had OUR government set up a fund to ri-fi mortgages they foreclosures would have already stopped. Had the bailout given $25,000 to EVERY American it would have changed many lives and rescued families. The rich need to pay their fair share - they get the most benefits from our system. HIGHER TAXES FOR THE RICH would not penalize them or change their opulent lifestyles. If John and Cindy McCain only had 5 houses instead of nine would they suffer?”

“Hi John - I appreciate your opinion, but you are wrong. Palin is a public figure - she was a public "SERVANT" before she QUIT, running out the door to grab the money. Selling oneself for money makes one a whore...the only quibbling here is that she's not selling her body, though she has clearly been marketing her sexuality to the rethuglican base along with her religiosity. The "auction" for "charity" was neither. It was a PR scam designed to promote palin. IF this were truly for charity then the other bidder would have been allowed to stay in the bidding. The fact that he has since offered $100,000 to $200,000 for the soldiers charity says a lot that palin turned this down. Palins approach to governing is to take away the freedoms you say you respect. she wanted to ban books from the Wasilla library, until she figured out she couldn't. She wants to do away with freedom of choice for women and families - but wants to impose her values on others. Palin LIES when she crows about fictional death panels - but THAT HAPPENED in ALASKA UNDER PALIN'S GOVT. You are entitled to your own opinion John - just not your own made up facts. God damn these hypocrites - God Bless America!”

“Was this REALLY about charity or about Ms. Palin's ego? If it was truly about helping the soldiers or charity then she should jump at the chance to give an ADDITIONAL $200,000 to charity! The ONLY reason Palin resigned was to run for the money...what a noble thing to do when you have already made a COMMITMENT to the people of Alaska. Alaska LAW PROHIBITED Palin from signing the contract or taking the money for the book or speeches until AFTER she was through with PUBLIC service...so she QUIT her job RAN from her RESPONSIBILITIES to grab the money. That's NOT what a pitbull/mo­mmagrizzly­risingup would do is it? Sell out her cubs/citiz­ens...give them away so she can star in her own relality show - the PERILS OF PALIN. So what do we call people/women who sell themselves for money?”

Glenn Beck: The Grinch Who Stole Yom Kippur

Commented Sep 21, 2009 at 19:02:16 in Media

“Glan Beck is America's answer to the Taliban! What is the story about the charges for Rape & murder of a young woman in North Carolina in 1990's? I heard Beck was CHARGED with indecent exposure to a minor....is this true? He has been asked but has not provided any proof that it is not true.”

sawdustinhershoes replied on Sep 21, 2009 at 22:44:58

“Mr. Beck just has to become ever more ridiculus to top the previous day's audaciousness. If he doesn't, he'll lose viewers. i suspect a portion of his viewers tune in to see what new outrage he's drummed up since his last show. SHOW is an apt descriptor.

He's all about shock. Without the drama, his show is really boring. I can't imagine him being a comedian on a touring show. What a poor excuse for entertainment.”

One Year Ago: When Peggy Noonan Hailed Palin in Print, Then Got Caught Trashing Her on "Open-Mic"

Commented Sep 04, 2009 at 11:15:37 in Media

“Anyone who ever said that Palin was qualified has no credibility w/ America. We had never seen in our lifetimes (I'm 55) a candidate so POORLY PREPARED for the national stage. She couldn't answer the most basic questions, let alone ones of substance. She's good at telling a story, but horrible on governing. She LIES all the time. She QUIT her elected position...what about commitment, perseverance?...you know values that America was built on! Alaska LAW states that a public servant CANNOT sign or take money from another employment position...as it is a CONFLICT OF INTEREST with their existing position w/ the state of Alaska (you know how much sarah told us she loves her state!). So Sarah ditched the state,,,,,threw them overboard...and RAN FOR THE MONEY. Levi's story has that truth to it....Palin knew she could not take the money legally or ethically...so she QUIT. What aloser and poor example to the youth of the country!”

“You make me laugh billhodges....first of all calling my comments a "rant" is funny...especially because I get the drift that you think beck's speaking truthfully and honestly...but my speech is a rant eh? The dictionary would likely agree with the majority of those who hear beck and think he's - as he says himself "in the crazy tree!" A beck rant might include his crying, lying or trying to persuade us that he knows some "conspiracy" that sounds more like he has run out of the medication Rush Limbaugh gave him. Rant by the way is "to speak in a very loud, aggressive or bombastic way. usually at length & repetitive. Speech that is loud, threatening...but also monotonous and unconvincing" Peerfect definition of what beck serves up each night. Crap is another apt term. Seems you have an intellectual appetite for this nonsense.”

“A dear friend of mine told me to watch glen beck. My friend is a Catholic Deacon and very conservative (although I am not)...so I tuned in and was amazed and disgusted. First was the crying jag..and since I am married to a mental health care professional therapist - we had some fun analyzing this nut job. But then beck turned to urging others to carry guns and overthrow our DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED government. So i wrote him a note, of course I got no reply. I called my dear friend the other day to talk w/ him specifically about the poison that beck spews. When I told my dear friend about the hate speach...he agreed that beck is wrong in the things he says and my friend will also BOYCOTT the show! beck should be praising the country that allows his freedom of speech, rather than trying to destroy and disrespect those who hold another opinion. Beck by the way lives in a HUGE 6,375 foot MANSION $4.75 MILLION dollars - what a guy!”

“So you close by demonizing his success and ability to own a big house. Since he totally failed in his life it is encouraging that people in this country can actually become successful after picking themselves up and starting over. Where else would that be possible?

We have a great country! We have flaws but what country doesn't have some. We can correct them without turning over everything to the government.”

Take a course in History - to learn about History.
Take a course in Political Science...no this is not science w/ facts Sarah...don't worry, you will not be asked to learn facts in this course...just theory!
FINISH a COURSE - FINISH SOMETHING! Stop being such a quitter.
LEARN SOMETHING PLEASE before you come back to America and ask us to vote for you for ANY office....or before you say anything to us that you want us to listen to.
Tell your children something that they learn from you, before you want to take over leading anyone else's family ok Sarah? You told your daughter to be abstinent...but she refused and got pregnant.

“The McCain / Palin camp routinely "inappropriately" used various songs (from Heart,
Van Halen, Bon Jovi, etc.) during their campaign. I guess the one they SHOULD have
used, which is more "Palin-specific", was Sam Cooke's song -- "Wonderful World"..!

Don't know much about history [A]
Don't know much biology [B]
Don't know much about a science book [C]
Don't know much about the french I took [D]

Don't know much about geography [D]
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for -- etc.

[A] When asked if we should take "under god" out of the P.O.A. Sarah Palin said "if it was
good enough for our forefathers its good enough for me".

Well, it wasn't written until 1892 and the words "under God" were not added until the 1950s
(well after our "forefathers").

She said: In the words of General MacArthur said, "We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction. WRONG..! It was Maj. Gen. Oliver Smith.

[B] Mocked the scientific benefits of fruit fly research

[C] Palin said she does not believe climate change is caused by human behavior.
Wants creationism taught in science class.

[D] As per the crank phone call, thought Montreal was in France (?)

Palin doesn't know Africa is a continent (?); doesn't know the countries of North America.”

Pakistan's Refugee Crisis

Commented Jun 06, 2009 at 11:13:29 in World

“Wasn't Palestine historically part of the territory now called Jordan? Didn't Jordan have it's own fight against the Palestinians in the past and gave up no land for their brethren? Why don't the Arab countries all pitch in and help too? Wouldn't that work as a solution....why only lean on Isreal for the answer in giving up land for a Palestinian state? Unless peoples of this world learn to live together and share and treat eachother like brothers and sisters...the world will continue to fight for power and control. There is enough on this garden of a planet for all of us to live in peace and security.”

“The hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who live in refugee camps were not displaced from their ancient homeland by Jordan but by Israel which illegally occupies their lands.

“Well T&A was the reason she was picked for vp wasn't it? Old man MaCain wanted some eye candy as he went around the country telling lies to America....like Palin is qualified to lead the nation in a time of turmoil. Palin is unethical, ruthlessly ambitious, and almost criminally unprepared. So showing up in a short skirt shows off her true assets. Too bad this is the woman the gop holds up as an example...a faux beauty queen wannabe.
