Or who funded his education.

You just answered your own question.

A couple quotes come to mind; "Having eyes, they see not, having ears they hear not".....or perhaps "much learning hath made you mad". It does not matter how much knowledge of the words one possesses, if that's all you gain from scripture, they are nothing but words and you have left the real value behind.

I worry more and more about the intelligence level in this country. I hear pundits say without question Obama is an intelligent guy. Intelligent people seldom make the same mistake twice. How many times do we have to see the debt ceiling arguement? Can we pass a budget? Wish we knew what his grades were.

and people are intellectual snobs. what they miss is that they are actually "intellectuals" in the progressive army. tea bagger anyone? anyone?

Remember when Bush gave a speech in China and when he left the stage the door he was told to use was locked. He laughed it off but the media called him an idiot. Months into his Presidency Obama spoke to reporters outside the White House and tried to go back in thru a window. He looked and looked for a door handle before the Secret Service told him it was a window. Yes obama is an idiot but for other reasons. That was a distraction. The media did ignore it.

Why do you think MSNBC still allows people like this on the air. They completely distract viewers from the real issues.

it was threatening.

just so.
In Canada, a member of the reform party shows up for his first week at Parliament. the Canadian media which of course could not stand that reformers had any elected to parliament dog the newly elected everywhere they went to catch something. On day, a reform MP was crossing the road when his brief case latch came undone. His papers spilled and they caught him on camera darting around the street collecting important documents. They then made a laughing stock of him-showing the footage again and again. It destroyed this man.eventually. who of us has never had such a thing happen before? Only-in Sarah Palin's case, she can say reasonable statements and be mocked. shame on you cg.

I was replying to someone else, and I said same thing about the nutjob and blowhard. You're right. The budget is an important issue. It could turn critical without warning. This political crap about Christmas and feces is nothing.

CG stop trying to make Sarah Palin the issue. She was talking about the National Debt and this blowhard turns it into her eating feces. This guy is an idiot but the point is the debt and she was spot on. Why do some people hate this woman with such a passion. I disagree with her at times which is reasonable. To attack her personally every time she speaks seems a bit strange to me.

LMAO. I recently finished the book "Acts of Faith" about religious pluralism. I understand the need for positive religious outlets, but I find it very hard not to see it as kids are arguing over whose imaginary friends is more tolerant etc. I find it laughable the religions think their holidays are under attack. It's like me thinking the solstices are "under attack". It's pure nonsense.

I joke that UUs don't need to be under attack. At the last Winter Solstice service my local congregation had hundreds of people randomly going up to light their candles instead of doing the coordinating thing where once person lights the next person's. We are actually open to enrolling our kids in a school of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition because those people get stuff done, and our 5 y/o is aging out of his pre-school program. This morning my wife said she called a Catholic school and asked if they take atheists, and they said they absolutely do. Catholics get stuff done. I don't think their holidays are in any danger.

We actually give the kids gifts on the solstice and Christmas. If Christianity supports promoting Legos with the word Christmas, I can support that part of the religion.

I'm not intentionally glib about pluralism. I admire positive religious institutions, esp when they're industrious.

even when he's lying about his secretary?

This is the same speech where she said "Christmas is under attack." LMAO.

Warren Buffet always comes off intelligent. Palin comes off as someone doing a bad parody.

All politicians talk in sound bites. But her statement was technically correct. Someone's gonna call in those notes. what happens when we can't pay? why do our children have to be saddled with our debt? How is that not a type of slavery? the definition of slavery is given in the article. How is stupid that she used it? Paul Ryan is incredibly well-spoken and "smart" sounding. I disagree with many things he says and I disagree with his voting record. She is incredibly savvy. Are you just a little snobbish cg? lol
Frankly, I think Warren Buffet sounds stupid when he talks about politics. J

Just find any clip of her. The ones I remember are of her trying to shoehorn something her backers support into a populist uneducated framework.

That's my favorite politician stupidity in general. It seems reasonable if they're feigning populist outrage about something like cigarette taxes. Then they try to apply the same formula to something like the Treasury issuing too much short-term bills instead of long-term notes at a time when they yield curve is comparatively flat.

give an example of Palin "acting stupid."

incredibly offensive and bordering on abusive imo

I hope FOX doesn’t cover it. Let the nutcase keep spewing crazy stuff until there aren’t enough viewers to justify him being on the air.
