-- This is embarrassing. Even to me. As an American, as a woman, as a human being. How can it possibly be that even one person in this country considers this person qualified for the presidency. My Note: This tops how a few weeks ago, Michelle Bachman came in New Hampshire and announced that the revolution started in Lexington and Concord (NH). Good going Sarah.
"He who warned, uh, the British that they weren't going to be taking away our arms uh by ringing those bells and making sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free and we were going to be armed." -- Sarah Palin

How can it possibly be that even one person in this country considers this person qualified for the presidency. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "This is embarrassing. As an American, as a human being. How can it possibly be that even one person in this country considers this person qualified for the presidency?" www.youtube.com/watch? v=EpGH02DtIws ... ad nauseaum BUT we have a solution, and you libTURD whores have a problem ... libertysflame.com/cgi-bin...? ArtNum=20917&Disp=15#C15 Better get out your racist hats libTURDS, an actual black AMERICAN is running for President for the first time in American history. Be afraid. be VERY afraid. LMAOAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is Alan Keyes not black enough, or not American enough for you?
I personally don't give a d@mn what a man's soul is wrapped in, it is these simpering libTURD cunts who worship the mere APPEARANCE of "diversity". (But it is only the appearance of it that they would ever accept, everyone must toe their political line.) But it's a FACT that if you are not running for national office in one of the two "mainstream" partees, the demonRATS or the repukelican'ts; you have ZERO real chance at being elected to office. THAT"S just a FACT. So I should have said that, even though it's pretty obvious. I notice you didn't ask me if McKinney was "black enough" "for me". LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you tell an Aleut from an Inuit? You are an Alaskan after all.
Not that it matters you gibbering libTURD whore, but yes I can, and yes I am. So fucking what?
Cool. But the real test is whether you can tell a member of the Tlingit tribe from a member of the Haida trbe apart? I mean, when you start talking First nations people, they start to look all alike, do they not?
That's what you libTURDS do isn't it gomer? You try to divide people by "race" or "gender" and then set those groups against each other. Since there is no such thing as "First nations" there is no such thing as "First nation peoples". I bet that you think that Asians all look alike too eh gomer? To you and crypto racists such as you a Japanese a Korean and a Chinese and a Vietnamese all look the same. Right? You libTURDS are the most racist people that I know outside of the "identity movement". It would be so much better if we could lock all of you racist cocksuckers up in a room and let you kill each other off. One of my very best friends is a member of the Ch'aak clan of the Tlingit. Look it up you racist libTURD hypocrite.
See what I mean Buck? I used tongue in cheek inferences to noting nuances in people of various native groups in Alaska to poke fun at the game of labeling people by race, and the bull in the china shop of cognizance known as Mad Dog not only doesn't get it, he accuses me of doing what I make fun of. Need I say more about how people just don't read for comprehension anymore? ;-D
"Tongue in cheek"? You lying libTURD POS. What I have said here is entirely the truth. These libTURDS, including the liar aka "cornflake boy"/"ferret mikey"/gomer the sexually confused libTURD whore, are the most RACIST people on the face of the earth. I just won't play your game bitch. I 'll match my reading comprehension with yours, (or ANY other libTURD), anytime you gibbering little FOOL. And butt boy, I turned it back on YOU, and that's what you REALLY don't like, you pitiful little libTURD bitch. You wannabe cheechako faggot.
And butt boy, I turned it back on YOU, and that's what you REALLY don't like, you pitiful little libTURD bitch." You can look silly and miss the point as much as you want M. Doggie Dog, because it is your reputation to be a rhetorical post humper. I expect you to be blind to the obvious. And I might add that just as you say you don't discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, you can't get me angry with name calling like that. I am heterosexual, but I don't consider being gay to be a stigma. I have many Gay and Lesbian friends, and I don't consider that trait to be anymore controversial than someone having brown eyes instead of blue.
More to the point cornflake girl; . "Governor Palin Gives the Media a History Lesson on Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride The mark of any successful political venture by Governor Palin often results a misrepresentation of her words that only leaves the media with egg on their faces. Governor Palin’s bus tour has been successful in allowing her to highlight the greatness of the history of America, meet everyday Americans and fellow politicians, and share her policy stances on everything from fishing regulations in New Hampshire to ethanol subsidies to the debt ceiling. Such successes leaves the media grasping at proverbial bendy straws. Today’s news is no different. Poised with the opportunity to more appropriately address political stories essentially pre- written for them, such as abysmal jobs numbers under the Obama administration or the newest report that the federal government lends financial aid to the very same countries from whom they borrow , the media have chosen to focus more on their own historical ignorance by creating a story out of a non-story and misportraying Governor Palin’s comments on Paul Revere yesterday: “He who warned, uh, the British that they weren’t going to be taking away our arms uh by ringing those bells and making sure as he’s riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free and we were going to be armed.” Those quibbling with Governor Palin’s statements have their history incomplete. During Paul Revere’s ride he was stopped by British soldiers, which Revere recounts in a 1789 letter maintained by the Massachusetts Historical Society ,in his original language : "I observed a Wood at a Small distance, & made for that. When I got there, out Started Six officers, on Horse back,and orderd me to dismount;-one of them, who appeared to have the command, examined me, where I came from,& what my Name Was? I told him. it was Revere, he asked if it was Paul? I told him yes He asked me if I was an express? I answered in the afirmative. He demanded what time I left Boston? I told him; and added, that their troops had catched aground in passing the River, and that There would be five hundred Americans there in a short time, for I had alarmed the Country all the way up. He imediately rode towards those who stoppd us, when all five of them came down upon a full gallop; one of them, whom I afterwards found to be Major Mitchel, of the 5th Regiment, Clapped his pistol to my head, called me by name, & told me he was going to ask me some questions, & if I did not give him true answers, he would blow my brains out. He then asked me similar questions to those above. He then orderd me to mount my Horse, after searching me for arms. He then orderd them to advance, & to lead me in front. When we got to the Road, they turned down towards Lexington. When we had got about one Mile, the Major Rode up to the officer that was leading me, & told him to give me to the Sergeant. As soon as he took me, the Major orderd him, if I attempted to run, or any body insulted them, to blow my brains out. We rode till we got near Lexington Meeting-house, when the Militia fired a Voley of Guns, which appeared to alarm them very much." ... Upon being stopped, did Revere, in essence, warn the British soldiers of the colonists’ plans? Yes. The strawmen built by the media seems to almost indicate that Revere rode through the streets warning the British soldiers. In actuality, simply put, Paul Revere told Regulars of the colonists’ plans during his attempt to warn the colonists of the Regulars’ approach (Revere actually said, “the Regulars are coming!”. The colonist still viewed themselves as British subjects at the time and would not have said, “the British are coming”.) Additionally, as the Paul Revere Heritage Project notes, Revere had reason for concern that the colonists’ arms would be taken away as they questioned the location of the militia’s ammunition: The Redcoats had set temporary roadblocks as a security measure and on their way to Concord they encountered British soldiers. Prescott managed to escape; Revere was captured and Dawes tried to run away but was arrested shortly thereafter. The British held Revere and interrogated him with a pistol on his chest. He was asked about the plans of the militia and where they kept their ammunition. When asked where the Patriots were hiding he told them the truth and replied that they had 500 militiamen in Concord protecting them and 1500 coming. As they rode towards Concord he was told that if he tried to escape he would be shot. There were no claims by Governor Palin that Paul Revere’s ride had anything to do with the 2nd Amendment as some spuriously claim. She simply indicated the immediate concern of Revere and the colonists. It appears that the media once again fail to grasp the history of our Founding again. You may recall that the media were in an uproar when Governor Palin encouraged Tea Partiers to party like it’s 1773, and the media claimed she didn’t know her Revolutionary War history. Oops. Governor Palin stated that this “One Nation” bus tour would, in part, draw attention to America’s founding and history. It looks like she is doing just that." LMAOAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! conservatives4palin.com/2...e-media-a-history-lesson- on-paul-reveres-midnight-ride.html You libTURDS could sure use to learn some.
Gee, what would we ever do without Caribou Barbie? We had been led to believe that Revere’s historic ride was actually for the purpose of warning our forefathers that the British were coming, it turns out that his midnight ride, complete with ringing bells and warning shots, was really all about letting the English know that we were armed. No wonder the British lost. According to her, they apparently went into the Revolutionary War in the erronious belief that we would not be armed and, as a result, failed to bring sufficient weaponry of their own. Fortunately, Revere’s warning apparently arrived too late. It is, after all, a long trip back to London to pick up one’s musket and then return to the colonies to get into the battle. ROTFLMAO!
