In the past week, aides to the Arizona senator have briefed reporters anonymously against Mrs Palin, describing the Alaska Governor as a “diva”. Yesterday a far harsher pejorative emerged: one called her a “whack job”, a term usually reserved for people who are dangerously unbalanced. www.timesonline.co.uk/tol...ctions/article5032745.ece Post Comment   Private Reply   Ignore Thread   Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 24. #1. To: robnoel (#0) (Edited) There you go again. ~~Ronald Reagan Amazing how I don't see you going after TheBlackMessiah. I may have listened to you on short wave since you first started, but your wasting time blasting Palin over the others...intriguing. Will the black messiah be better for the value of your metal sales? This soap opera over the two-party Fraud is getting old.

To: IndieTX (#1) (Edited) Please give me a break with your "metal sales" BS based on what I've earned under Bush I should be rooting for the "wack-job" however if you can't see the fact that she is a full blown nut I can only conclude you don't know anything about American history ....I have a simple test for anyone seeking high office....know more about American history and the constitution than I do...I've watched her for the past month and she knows squate...as for Obama...America deserves him! robnoel  posted on  2008-10-28   22:24:31 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #3. To: robnoel (#2) as for Obama...America deserves him! A perverse sentiment that I agree with! Every American that votes for Obummer will reap what they sow!! It's high time that America get a full dose of his ideology for at least four years in order to drive them back to the words of the Founding Fathers. I welcome the wailing of the great unwashed, gullible, masses.... X-15  posted on  2008-10-28   22:31:22 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #6. To: X-15 (#3) There is a small chance if the Democrats do take control of all three branches that a renewed opposition party will form from the ruins of the GOP a long shot but the only shot my reservation is that to many generations of Americans have no problem with a "little" socialism...then we have the problem with the evangelicals who are so lost it is embaressing to call myself a christian....then the other side...Americans forced South Africans to accept a black president...so a black American president should be no problem...right! robnoel  posted on  2008-10-28   22:46:51 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #22. To: robnoel (#6) ...then we have the problem with the evangelicals who are so lost it is embaressing to call myself a christian... They aren't "lost", they know exactly what they're doing under 501(c)(3) tax-exempt laws. I won't call them Christians, either.

I've often wondered that myself - is this what the Holy Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Ghost would support? A basic tenet of the evangelical religion is looking forward to a final destruction of earth so they can tip toe over the dead bodies to Heaven. Not too Christian an outlook imho. scrapper2  posted on  2008-10-28   23:26:03 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   Replies to Comment # 24. #27. To: scrapper2, All (#24) "There were many other significant issues that led to our original Fourth of July; so why aren't Americans familiar with the rest? Because in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s, a group of secular-minded writers (including Charles and Mary Beard, W. E. Woodward, Fairfax Downey, and others) began penning works on American history that introduced a new paradigm. For this group, economics was the only issue of importance, so they began to write texts accordingly (their approach is now described as "the economic view of American history" and since the 1960s has been widely embraced throughout the education community). Consequently, since "taxation without representation" was the economic grievance in the Declaration, it became the sole clause that Americans studied. As a result, God is no longer visible in American history; and His absence is now construed as a mandate for secularism. Texts now forcefully assert that the American founding produced the first intentionally secular government in history - even though the Declaration officially acknowledges God in four separate clauses. (But who still teaches the Declaration - or even reads it?) Similarly, leaders such as John Hancock and John Adams receive credit as being the source of our independence, even though John Adams himself declared that the Rev. Dr. Jonathan Mayhew and the Rev. Dr. Samuel Cooper were two of the individuals "most conspicuous, the most ardent, and influential" in the "awakening and revival of American principles and feelings" that led to American independence. Regrettably, God (and His servants) have largely disappeared from the presentation of American history in general and America's founding in particular. As a further example, consider the legendary Minutemen: even though they are still honored in many texts, their leader, the Rev. Jonas Clark, is no longer mentioned - nor the fact that many of the Minutemen were deacons in his church. And the Rev. James Caldwell is no longer acknowledged as a key leader of military forces in New Jersey - nor the Rev. John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg (who led 300 men from his church against the British) as one of Washington's most trusted generals."
