As long as she keeps her mouth shut she'll do fine. Just smile, wave and show a little leg, Sarah. That's all the wingnuts want from you.
It wuz George W. Bush hizself that gunned down the terrorist leader. He wuz ridin his bycycle down by the base when he herd the shots. Instantly, he peddled as fast as he could on to the base. He jumped off his bycycle, grabbed up a 50 cal, chased down the evildoer, and nailed him with perfect precision. George W. Bush, already a hero to millions of Americans, proves once again that he's the real deal. Them cops wuz just standin around. George show em all up. Go, George, go!!!
These parents are just preparing their little girls for the future. A future where the state controls their bodies and their only assets are physical. A future where they must use sex to get job interviews and sex to get promotions and sex to sell their products. IOW, a future where a female's sexuality is the only thing that matters. A GOP future. I view it as exceptional training for a girl considering that they will always be second class citizens.
The Progressive Party needs founding.
Once it is, let me know the address and the check will be in the mail. I no longer consider myself a Democrat. I am a Progressive. I stand for Truth, Justice and the European Way(sorry but torture and murder are now the American Way). I really have never understood why women put up with constantly be assaulted by the political establishment. Now that Obama and his party of Republican Lites have abandoned all pretense of fullfiling their campaign promises, the time to leave is NOW. I have sent my resignation to OFA and will soon send one to DNC and DCCC as well as to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. It is time to shape the future. It is time to determine our own destiny and no longer be a slave to a political party that values dollars over citizens. I am with you.
But you were never a true Republican or conservative. Why? Because you didn't do it for the money.
It's CAPITALISM, baby! Peter wins and Iraq loses. All part of the game, right? If you can't take something legally for free, just have your buds invade and occupy. There is no law against what he did. And even if there were, no one would enforce it. It's the law of the jungle, kill or be killed, eat of be eaten. It's The American Way. Just like handing billions to bankers for bonuses while citizens die in the streets. LET 'EM EAT CAKE,BABY. USA, USA, USA!!!!
But unless women start sticking up for themselves, these girls will have their feet bound and their reproductive organs inspected by politicians.
What better way to destabalize the country than let loose hundreds if not thousands of marines suffering with PTSD and then give them all guns? The GOP has done worse.
It has been evident since 2002 that the Republican party is doing everything it can to empower terrorism and diminish democratic values. Their lust for power and money at the expense of liberty and democracy is amply documented by The Patriot Act, FISA, and the military commissions act. Their subversion of the constitution is well documented also byt their willingness to commit perjury and obstruction of justice. This nation is in grave danger from these Republicans and Obama's decision to discard the rule of law by failing to hold accountable those who have lied, tortured and murdered is a death knell for The United States of America. This nation will never be destroyed from without. Our real enemies are here. They sit in our government. They have (R) next to their names. They are the Republican party.
Would Sarah Palin have been picked by Bill Kristol for the Vice Presidency of the United States of America if she looked like Helen Thomas?
The Republican party is not interested in experience, knowledge, character, or ability. They look for spokesmodels to sell their corporate agenda. Sarah fits the bill. Besides, if this photo is sexist, and Sarah herself signed off on it, then does that not make her sexist?
Oh, and does she really run in panty hose?
Endless War=Endless Profit.
Face it, if the GOP doesn't care about 45,000 Americans dying every year from lack of healh insurance, they don't care about a terrorist attack. They are physically employed by their corporate patrons. They are practically on their payroll records. To keep the money flowing into Afganistan and the drugs flowing out, they will lie, cheat, steal, kill, rape, maim, and commit treason. Seeing that there is no downside for them, it really makes sense. They are not bound by law. They are not bound by ethics. They are free of constraints to do what they please. The only way to end both these wars is to reinstate the draft with NO EXEMPTIONS. Seeing that that will never happen, neither will an end to these wars. I fully expect Obama to commit every last soldier, ready or not, healthy or not, to Afganistan. It's not so much a war strategy as a campaing strategy. I'll bet when they signed up, most of these poor suckers didn't expect to die for a political campaign. Ah, well, such is life.
I don't see why Obama is letting them be tried at all. In his capacity as Unitary Executive, he can simply declare them 'enemy combatants' and have them executed in secret. That this would give terrorists even more reason to hate and attack the US is just a bonus. Not only would it prolong the War For Profit, it would get Obama a second term. Nothing is as important as a second term to Obama. Not even the lives of US soldiers sent to Afganistan. Obama is a coward in so many ways it hurts my head just to try and count them.
