You see I have brought my points to this thread though and they were not enough for you.
You brought points to the thread I dismissed. The government isn't designed to be a Nanny, and in doing so it's become an overbearing Ninny, breeding more of the same. People that look to government for cures for all their ills... what a pathetic way to go through life... as a parasite of the Ninny State.
You tell me I am insulting you, but you use terminology with insulting insinuation towards other forum members, myself included.
Read my previous post; the opening lines. Barbs and ridicule are part of debate, so long as they are relevant to the topic and discussion. They serve their purpose, unglueing individuals when the truth comes close to home, as UtahBill has recently revealed. This "moderate", has become a little excited and revealed line by line he's nothing more than a Pelosi, Reid, Obama Leftist. He sounds like one.
Let me reiterate what I have brought up on this thread, and other threads with similar subject manner, so that you can deny it has any point once again:
-Palin is an idiot and will attack anybody just so someone pays attention to her. She is a whore.
"Whore"?
That Cap'in Courtesy gave you a thanks on this post with such drivel of a couple of paragraphs illustrates the level of intelligence he believes is deserving of respect and attaching his name to.
I've made the case why Palin could win, and have linked and posted why. Reason after reason. She's gaffed less than Obi, is Reagan-like, holds similar views as Reagan and has received similar ridicule from the same culprits... from country club R's like Barbara Bush and all the lefties. The following article is a well reasoned argument why Palin could whoop Obama's lame ass. Right now she's 41-41 against The Hollow One.
The Palin Ultimatum
...
One of the more ridiculous examples of “common wisdom” echoed by the pundits these days is the idea that Sarah Palin can never be president.
I’m certainly not a particular fan of hers, but to think she cannot be elected is to be in complete denial both of politics and of the state of the nation today.
While polls show the general public is indeed sour on the idea of a President Palin — so far — what the general public thinks doesn’t matter in a primary. Palin, with her virtual 100 percent name ID...
The second part of the equation, the election itself, is also not out of the question for Palin.
Politics, like basketball, is all about the matchup. You don’t have to be incredibly popular, just more popular than the other guy (or girl).
If unemployment continues at very high levels, and
if President Obama continues his tepid, feckless ways — so bizarre considering the lofty rhetoric of civic engagement that got him into office —
Palin doesn’t have to be wildly popular to beat him. She just has to be a viable alternative for a plurality of voters.
The secret the Obama team probably wouldn’t prefer to be widely known is the fact that Obama, even at the peak of his popularity, has never been popular with white voters — and I don’t mean just Southern white voters.
The only white demographic Obama won in 2008 was the 18–29 age group. In the recent midterms,
Democrats were destroyed among white voters, getting only 38 percent of the white vote nationwide.
...
It’s become a cliché of American life that George W. Bush wasn’t a very smart guy. But Bush was certainly smart enough to know who his supporters were and to keep them happy — or if not happy, at least engaged.
The first thing Obama did once in office, however, was completely ignore the young voters who provided his margin of victory — the bulk of whom did not show up to vote for Democrats this Nov. 2.
So who’s the dumb one?
Like Bush, Palin is also not book–smart. But also like Bush, she is street–smart.
And in politics, the streetfighters always win in the end.
-Every first lady has a cause, I had no problem in Laura Bush's cause of reading as well, she was a librarian made sense. Just as Mrs. Obama is a fit woman it makes sense she would do this.
They can have all the causes they want, but not with taxpayers money. I said it about Laura, and said it about Michelle. If they want a cause, get the private sector to fund it. Nothing in the constitution says the First Lady is permitted to fund her cause through the public trough.
-The NFL does something similar in which they encourage kids go out and play, no one seems to have qualms about that.
Doh... The NFL is a private enterprise. It's not taking taxpayers money, it generates it... and how!
Not only that, we live in a society where billions is spent to make you feel bad for being fat and no one has a problem with that, despite the same companies getting you fat are the same ones coming out with the fat-free versions and skinny jeans.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. So what do you want to do? Have government controlled jeans factories, or Chairman Mao Suits, and the government to have Food Police for every house and on every corner? What ever happened to personal responsibility?
-Something like this has a domino effect. If you teach children and parents healthy habits, or reteach them because they might not honestly know then it makes their lives better, they save money, insurance companies save money, insurance rates go down, and you have an overall happier, healthier nation.
Again, the parents responsibility or some non-profit or for profit group, but not the Feds. As I noted they assisted in increasing obesity 61% in 11-years with their ****ed up food pyramid!!!!
You seem to think that I am in full line with the liberal Democrat agenda. This could be further from the truth. I use common sense.
The easiest person to fool is yourself, and you're doing a masterful job.
Common sense tells me that encouraging kids to get off their ass, go climb trees and get hurt every once in awhile, eating healthy stuff, etc is a very good thing.
You don't think people know it's good for kids to get out of the house? you don't need government intruding and wasting billions. But it's up to the parents to do this... not the government, for when government does it... it's wasted money.
Just look at that wondrous Food Pyramid and all the good it has done... or virtually any other government program.
