Don’t give them any ideas, John.

Libretards want us to fallow their religion of Atheism.

Intermingling of church and state?

Apparently the writer never read the Declaration of Independence all the way to the end. If they had they would have found this at the end:

“With firm reliance on divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor”

“Divine Providence”.....that’s GOD my friend. They involved Him from the beginning.

Another John Semmens piece. Never believe anything he post.

I know this is semi-satire — but, a lot of “serious” commentators are saying the same thing about the reading level of Palin’s writing.

They're all missing the point. A writer is supposed to write for his reader. A CEO needs to be able to write clearly. A politician needs to be understood by most adults. Palin’s writing is written at exactly the right reading level — maybe a little too high for the general public.

[From The Deer Stand]

“We noted that on more than one occasion Governor Palin mentioned that she hoped for divine guidance to help her reach the right decision on an issue,” the Associated Press (AP) wrote in an unsigned analysis. “This is wrong on several levels. First, it is an illegal mingling of church and state. There’s supposed to be a wall between the two. Palin breached that wall.”

Go suck an egg AP - nobody takes you serious any more.

Someone please post the pic of Washington’s prayer at Valley Forge.

Browsin’ before logging on - read a few lines and knew right away it was yours;)

Good stuff again JS (Just Satire)!

[JaguarXKE]

You forgot the satire tag.

[ViLaLuz]

You got me this time, John.

[cruise_missile]

I can see liberals saying this.

That’s why it’s funny.

Whew, I started reading and then went back to the source. Bet you get a few bites on this one.

The Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level Readability Formula

Step 1: Calculate the average number of words used per sentence.
Step 2: Calculate the average number of syllables per word.
Step 3: Multiply the average number of words by 0.39 and add it to the average number of syllables per word multiplied by 11.8.
Step 4: Subtract 15.59 from the result.

The specific mathematical formula is:

FKRA = (0.39 x ASL) + (11.8 x ASW) - 15.59
Where,
FKRA = Flesch-Kincaid Reading Age
ASL = Average Sentence Length (i.e., the number of words divided by the number of sentences)
ASW = Average number of syllables per word (i.e., the number of syllables divided by the number of words)

Analyzing the results is a simple exercise. For instance, a score of 5.0 indicates a grade-school level; i.e., a score of 9.3 means that a ninth grader would be able to read the document. This score makes it easier for teachers, parents, librarians, and others to judge the readability level of various books and texts for the students.

Theoretically, the lowest grade level score could be -3.4, but since there are no real passages that have every sentence consisting of a one-syllable word, it is a highly improbable result in practice.

Sample #1 Paragraphs and Sentences (Something the MSM might use to establish a baseline measurement.);

Jamal is a 27 year old 9th grader. This would be a sample of Jamal's vocabulary assignment. Leroy is to use each word followed by a full colon ":" in a sentence.

Another Sample #2 submitted by someone who might be learning about agriculture. Someone like a young Sarah Palin. ;

Radiation can be used to stop the sprouting of root crops. If you would like, I can give you the details of this process.

Which Sample has the higher Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level Readability score ?

[CAluvdubya]

I can't believe the lame media hasn't already brought this up!

You are too funny, John. I love when you point out how ridiculous they are!

[Grey Eagle]

Look at the idiots making fun of Palin. They show their true colors. Black as night and evil.

[MHGinTN]

Yeah, these scum sucking liberal whiners are ... Oh! It’s you, John. LOL, carry on.
