Miss Al Qaeda America
Well, one may no longer claim that women are the smarter, more sophisticated, more earthbound of the species. It is now possible in this wonderful age to be female and still be a completely unqualified, bleating, prevaricating moron who can get kicked upstairs like any of the men before her to have been so blessed.
To the unified delight of all the other morons of both sexes assembled at last night's Repustule Convention, the glass ceiling took another head-butt courtesy of a scrunch-wearing no-nothing and now -- incredibly -- the race is on. While thousands of conventioneers frequently burst into spontaneous cheers (one wishes that many of them could have burst into spontaneous flames instead) all too reminiscent of the ones heard in brauhauses in Munich in the early 30's, the spectacle of the bespectacled bobble-headed boobie capably reading her teleprompter gave the crowd of dead-enders the hope they have prayed so long for. For unto them has been delivered the perfect candidate to further their agenda, one that can deflate and defeat any and all who try to use reason and sense to better this nation's future chances at survival by invoking a large uterus and a tiny brain. Forget "Network" -- this is "Idiocracy", the cult film by Mike Judge that charts the descent of the American intellect to a level of nationwide doltishness.
It's homespun terrorism tailored to appeal to "the average American" and orchestrated nice as you please by the most efficient cultural terrorists this side of Wannsee. It comes bearing Tupperware bowls of Chex Mix and almond bark. It carries a bible and an AK-47 and wears its ignorance on its lapel, right next to the flag pin (which was finally stuck in place after several hours of processing the instructions that come with it). It invokes old glory and Old Glory and hates really only one thing: you.
Oh, okay, I am exaggerating the whole thing. Oh, maybe she's not so bad. Maybe it's not Al Qaeda come to America, putting an IED inside every soccer ball or sprinkling anthrax on every Jello casserole. Maybe it's only America as land of opportunity, where even the mayor of the largest methamphetamine producing city in Alaska can grow up to be Vice President of the United States simply by not trying.
McCain-Palin. Allah help us.

It isn't fair of you to knock methamphetamine by associating it with Sarah Palin.
Absolutely funny
Instead of advancing the women's rights, Palin set it back. As a working mother of 3 who has risen to a high level in my company based on intelligence, ethics, and hard work, I'm horrified that Palin is considered a viable candidate for VP. She's clever, but stupid, one-dimensional, narcissistic, and cruel for parading her pregnant daughter in front of the public, knowing that in doing so, it's exposing her to intense invasion of privacy, at a time when she needs as much privacy as she can get.
The only thing more horrifying is the real possibility that voters are buying this. Please...where is the child who saw the emperor naked when we need him???
Steve, have you ever met an Al Qaeda member? Surely you must have, because you know so much about them to draw your conclusions.
Anyway, I hope Obama wins. He will be able to reason with Al Qaeda and make them our friends. Then the world will be safe, just as he has made Chicago safe, especially the South Side. They (Al Qaeda) will swoon over how eloquent he speaks and all the great ideas he comes up with, that NO ONE has thought of before. I'm sure he will be able to implement all those ideas, just like everything else he has implemented.
huff on, dude
Why are you faulting the guy for being able to communicate effectively?-it sounds like you're just jealous!
I noticed wikipedia's Palin bio page is locked; top of page disclosure/disclaimer box reads..."protected from editing until disputes have been resolved." Yes I have a few disputes with her too....but the bio page seemed pretty factual to me. Pretty much public record....a very scary public record.
This woman gives me the willies. Read how she strong-armed herself through her politcal career with heads rolling all around her at her behest.
I think about the black box voting.....2000, & 2004. I think about how friggin frail McCain is. I think about Palin's corporate backers. It's pretty clear to me that Palin was not so much McCain's pick, but his handlers' pick.

i always knew i loved you... and now even more so!
you hit the nail on the head. well put -- down to the final period!
I'd like to believe that "the average American" is smart enough to see through the McCain/Palin lies, but I fear he/she is not. Are we watching the fall of the USA and the rise of the Holy Roller Empire?
That is what I fear. Start smiling and saying "God bless you" to everyone you meet.
"Forget "Network" -- this is "Idiocracy", the cult film by Mike Judge that charts the descent of the American intellect to a level of nationwide doltishness."
Don't forget "Fargo":
Marge Gunderson: So that was Mrs. Lundegaard on the floor in there. And I guess that was your accomplice in the wood chipper. And those three people in Brainerd. And for what? For a little bit of money. There's more to life than a little money, you know. Don'tcha know that? And here ya are, and it's a beautiful day. Well. I just don't understand it.
Amazing what people will do for "a little bit of money."
Pretty good post, but i think that you're understimating this lady. She's smart. I can't wait for the debate.
Not underestimating. Retching violently from her nastiness.
"Well, one may no longer can claim that women..."
Does anyone edit around here?
Thanks Steven. The Al Qaeda reference is especially appropriate when you look at her fanatical belief that every conception is worth more than the life of the mother, even if it was the product of rape or incest. She is the holier-than-thou, air-head, Caribou Barbie that the Republican party needed to keep it's own delegates from committing suicide before November. I just pray thay there are more of us then them this time, I don't think the United States would recover if the Republicans get another four years.
Will someone speak about her religious beliefs? Sarah Palin hears her God speak to her... she is Pentecostal and they do believe that they channel prophecy from God? Will the voices tell her “to push the RED button Sarah.” What is her eschatological belief system? Does she believe that she will have to do something to help bring it about? Her religion is very far outside the norm and we need to know what she believes before allowing her to be a heartbeat away from the oval office!
Oldie but Goodie and very relative to this day
When Fascism Comes To America. "When fascism comes to America it will come wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." Sinclair Lewis
When Fascism Comes To America. "When fascism comes to America it will come wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." Sinclair Lewis...........
Yes! This is what's been alarming me for days. It needs to be shouted from the rooftops and plastered on every billboard, talked about in every Dem campaign speech. Lord, this is serious.
Indeed, but like the fear that has paralyzed America since 9/11 morphing into the invasion of Iraq, killing thousands on both sides, RELIGION and misplaced nationalism can be the road to even worse times than the country is living now.
This is Bush and Cheney in a skirt, with a mean mouth and no functioning reasoning ability.
WHEW!!
Sinclair Lewis was a communist. Palin is a mother and a patriot who doesn't want to see her family grow up in a country where it's leader apologizes to Europeans on European soil that contains thousands of American graves.
Oh Momma. You hit it on the nail with the Lewis quote. It's near. The time is very near.
Here. Here. Independent political podcaster and former radio host, Dan Carlin, once quoted his history teacher, a former German nationalist, by saying that fascism did not happen overnight. It was incremental, until their country was unrecognizable. He went on to describe exactly what American fascism would like. Like all major political movements--be it socialism, Marxism, democracy, etc.--fascism (as defined by Webster below):
1often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
2: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control
-- takes the form of the soul of the country it envelopes. To paraphrase, American fascism will not look like Hitler, it will look like John Wayne. And, well, I reckon the brownshirts have decided to circle the wagons, Pilgrim.
