This is a little something I wrote a little shy of a year ago now. Figured I would just bring it back and put it here for discussion on how much and how little out country has changed in that time. I dont know if this could be as good as Puro's rants, and it is dated----but lets see what happens. And please taking nothing I say personally or have it change the way we deal with cigars on here---because cigars, trading, games, bombing, ect. are certainly the most important:)
So writing a blog on political issues at this time of year seems a bit overplayed. However, since everyone else is doing it I feel undermined and underappreciated if I were not to put my own 2 cents in or 3 cents considering inflation. I could do a blog on why I am a Republican and voting for Obama, but I will resist said temptation and give simply reasons why I think the last 8 years of this country are totally **** as we all will be as well if you give 4 more years to McBush. Granted, there was a time when I considered myself the main source of political understanding and intelligence amongst those around me. Now admittedly, I may no longer have the most informed opinion. Nevertheless, feel free to respond (EVERYONE I HOPE) and if you agree with me I will laud your courage. If you disagree, I will kindly take your attack as personal and defend myself with jabbing insults at both your character and sexual orientation.
Ok Sarah---teenagers get pregnant. We understand your daughter is a filthy gutter $lut and you don't want that in the public mouth (like something she had in hers). I respect this. HOWEVER, please do not tout the "heroism" of your son in the military. First, he is not a hero as he signed up to do this as a job. Second, he will see as much combat as a UPS worker flying rubber cat $hit out of Hong Kong. ALSO, do not tell us how wonderful you and your family are for raising a ****. Yes Downs Syndrome is tough because the kids are demanding, and you can never tell one from another----however, if you want your family out of it----DO NOT pick and choose what we can discuss. Because if we talk about your great parenting with a deformed child and a military mental midget-----we damn sure better be able to talk about your lack of supervision when your daughter was getting the meat whistle in her oven and the fact you are exploiting your family for your gain and further separating your time from them.
Pro-Life, Pro-Family, Pro-Win the War, Pro-Anti Terror-------we're all over it. I am pro life, let's get that clear. However, no one is overturning Roe vs. Wade and that's a fact. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN, give up Falwell and O'Reilly, and Rove
.not gonna happen. How the hell can the party of Guillani (the ****), Craig (the guy in the airport trying to get a handjob), and Gingrich (the slob)---ever preach to me about family values?????? Last time I checked I haven't cheated on my wife, haven't tried to get blown in a bathroom of an airport, and haven't **** over half of New York. Not to mention I don't think I believe in God but I do believe in stem cell research. Yet somehow----my morals are the ones that are off kilter.
As far as the war
.what does wining it mean?? Bringing people who are 1000 years behind us socially and technologically to our level? Does it mean ending violence in a place where violence has been continuous since the real life Fred Flintsone was using his fat feet to get away from that **** boss of his? Or does it mean until we like what we see and all our contactors make as much money as they want while we rape and pillage the land of a once sovereign nation??? Ive heard you cannot be happy with defeat. I wouldn't call this defeat, I would call it maintaining our own interests for once and doing what the people of that country want-----watch us pack up and leave. There may be no honor in defeat, but there is a great deal of honor in respecting a people's wishes and doing as they request when we have invaded their land. LET US NEVER FORGET, this war had NOTHING to do with Sept. 11th. This war had NOTHING to do with freeing Iraq from dictatorship and terror. This war had EVERYTHING to do with weapons of mass destruction, which were either not there (at best) or a total lie fed to the American public to serve an administrations self serving wants (at worse). The conversation on Iraq really need not go any further that that.
How much longer can people blindly accept the bloviating about the terror threat, that the economy is "fundamentally sound", and that things are going to be shaken up in Washington. The only shaking that might take place is the **** seizures I have from hearing this pile of cockamamie bullshit. You are no more or less safe that you were before 9/11, the only difference now is your perception. If the economy was sound, unemployment would not be at 6.1%, stocks would not be down 20%, foreclosures would not be up 80%, and I would not be saving my j!zz in jars for a "rainy day". Oh yeah, by the way while I am not the biggest fan of universal healthcare-----Since we are still the wealthiest nation with the most freedoms on earth---how could anyone in the right **** mind think it would do any great damage to anything other than Blue Crosses profit margin----**** ignorant **** ****.
In closing folks here are some simple ideas to understand that just about everyone with a brain agree with. Hell, even those like Terry Schiavo could understand, and maybe even Sarah's retarded son. ---The Earth is getting warmer, and we have something to do with that-----Stem cells CAN save human lives----Was does not decide who is right, only who is left---Marriage may be between a man and a woman, but health care should be for everyone---There is STILL a separation between church and state in this country---Someone makes 250,000 per year is NOT middle class---Judge not lest ye be judged---THINK, THINK, THINKits not illegal yet.

these are all things that Obama made clear were "off limits" to talk about.
im not sure that calling Palin's child a "****" is casting you in a good light. feel better after all that name calling? ....umm seriously? look i know you are frustrated with things in life and in the political scene. i just question your methods venting your ideas. the language used in this hit piece is the kind of language that gets tossed out before they even hive time to finish it. thats exactly where i am on this essay.
it does not matter how good an idea is, if it is not presented in a way that people can take it is worthless.
BTW, you cant prove the world is warming and in fact there is evidence that the world may be COOLING There has been a correlation between the suns inactive phase and the recent global cooling. During the peak of the Earths warming in the late 1990s and early 2000s, solar activity was considered by many to be unusually high, enough to actually damage satellites and other devices.
this COULD explain global warming....
iduno. im no scientist but i have a hard time going all in on global warming. there may be a consensus on the subject but that doesnt mean much to me. There are a lot of ways to find truth, but popularity contests arent one of them.
1. My venting isnt intended to fix anything other than my need to vent. 2. My writing is out there to get a laugh, or get pissed at, or just say "man this is crap"-----Its not there to educate, be a coherent flow of ideas, or obviously paint me in a certain light; and D. I could go out and put something with a great flow and articulated way of presenting facts and getting a point across, but then I would be no different than the thousands of papers and TV shows I could watch with people hashing over the same ideas and egaging in what they believe is an educated critical analysis of the ideas, when it fact it is little more than a way to fill dead air before their next oral explusion of the same old crap.
However, I am glad to you responded and seemed to do so with a little ire or condescension----It makes for a lively conversation...or at least something to pass the day until 5pm.
It seems anonymity on the net brings out peoples true nature
EDIT - Roe v Wade has been overturned for years via the Casey and Gonzales decisions; stem cells might save lives - any technology is at least a decade away (due to the some lab tests showing that stem cells can cause cancer - they're still trying to figure out why this happens). When you say $250k, you're taking into account a persons income, not what they pay for taxes or what they pay for living expenses - there are many instances of families making $250k, but only having $1k/mo in spending money after taxes/expenses. War always decides who's right/wrong - read a history book for examples. You exhort others to not judge, yet your rant is pure conclusory judgments with no allowance for the other side. So much for sacred cows, eh?
.
And if you only have 1K per month because you have that many expenses-----its time to cut your expenses and live in your means I am sad to say. And my rant allowing for no other opinion is the point of my rant, as I stated before its about emotion---good, bad or otherwise. Accusatory? Sure. Offensive? Usually. Rambling? Definately. But if it wasnt, it wouldnt be a simple emotion rant.
Dont get crazy thinking I believe to my core everything I write, some is my idea of George Carlinesque humor----although his much more concise.

There is quite a bit of info here, but wow, it's a tough read. Today I heard on the radio that the economy is coming around due to housing being built more than in the last 3 or so months. So maybe that's good, but I if some drastic measures aren't done to fix how our cashflow and economic policies are done.
You may rant to blow off steam - but my God, the election was 6mo ago - just let it go already! Palin's a politician, she needs to keep her name in circulation, just like any other politician; that's why she won't "go away". The animus directed at her is just astounding - I can't think of any other unelected politician that the media and the Left have ever attacked so viciously, nor can I think of any politician who's family was considered open game.
Even during the election, Obama and McCain were able to agree to leave the families out of it. I dislike Obama's policies, but at the very least, he had enough class to leave his opponents family out of the race; something I can't say for a person like you (and before you try it - Palins 18 yr old daughter is not the same as Obama's 30 or 40yr old wife)
Your rant would mean something if you had the political courage to extend your damnation to every girl underage that got knocked up, but you don't - then you'd have to include blacks, hispanics, and other groups that carry political favortism, and you'd take flak for that. So you confine your rant to a convenient target, one in which you'll only have to defend your judgment, not your choice of target.
I've seen your arguments before, I've seen your lame excuses "I'm just venting", "I don't really believe everything I write", "It was just an emotional rant, that's all", "Comedians do the same thing, why can't I?" - even now, you're backing off some of the things you've written, backing down from the invective. The bottom line is, you only posted here to vent, and you don't want to ever argue with someone face-to-face. You're right - you are a coward, because even with the anonymity afforded by the internet, you're already backing away from your arguments
Next time you feel like ranting, just go kick a dog or drown a puppy - it's not much different from what you're advocating Palin/Bristol should've done to their kids
I second this
.
If you read the post, you'd see I was agreeing with you - you're a coward you hides behind anonymity and the internet, posts Leftist rants against politicians who you don't like, and then hides again - your only defense is "well I post these things because I can". You don't have the courage to say these things to the people at the commission meetings, you don't have the courage to say these things to the people you live and work with everyday, and you don't have the courage to even stand behind your arguments on a forum message board.
If you need to blow off steam, go kick a dog or drown a kitten; your rant more than suggests you'd do it gleefully if it were somehow connected to Palin
I understand that and am cool with it. If you work with the disabled, children or adults, I cant imagine you meant any harm with it , just a poor choice of words ...lets let it go at that ...
and as far as:
" I'm not scientist either but the general consensus is that it is warming"
again, There are a lot of ways to find truth, but popularity contests arent one of them.
(Sidenote: My favorite argument is cow farts increase methane and caused global warming cause of how many cows we now breed for domestic consumption. Do you know how many animals lived on the N. American continent alone before it was heavily colonized? Way more than the cows we have now. Also, DINOSAURS? You can't tell me that regardless of how many dinosaurs existed that dinosaur farts wouldn't be more problematic than cow farts...)
But in all seriousness I agree with your post. There have been several Ice Ages and our planet has been warming since the last one. The Earth has ALWAYS gone through periods of cool and warming even WAY before we were here with our horrible "carbon footprints."
And his willingness to speak these things in a crowd is fully relevent to their validity. If he had any courage to follow his alleged convictions, he'd be willing to repeat them in person to his friends/family. But instead he comes on the internet, **** and moans in a poliltical rant, and then backs off claiming that he doesn't really believe everything he wrote - then he admits he's too cowardly to repeat them in person and I fully agree with him in that regard.
I just find it so odd and unfunny that someone would attack a "****."
Kids with Down's Syndrome who are the children of politicians aren't fair game, either.
