Today, my 12 year old daughter was telling me that when she was watching the last debate, she spit out her drink from laughing when sKerry said that he never said he wanted a 'Global Test'.
Then she says to me, "He's so stupid. How stupid does he think we all are?"
- From a 12 year old.
One of my sister's friends has a 10 year old daughter. She watched the debate last night with her Republican father and Democrat mother. At the end, she told her parents that she is voting for Bush in her classroom vote that's coming up. Asked why, she said she listened to both of them speak of their faith and she thought that Bush was very sincere "but she just didn't believe Kerry believed what he was saying". Hehehe...smart kid. My sister called to tell me about it today.
Sadly, you'll have to inform your daughter that there are indeed one helluva lot of stupid people in America. Such is life.
You all give me so much hope for the future!
The ending of a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put! (Thank you Sir Winston)
Some people assume that lying actually matters to the average liberal. If liberals could only be educated enough to recognize the lies, they would no longer be liberals, or so the lament goes. Sure, there are going to be a few escapees with actual consciences, but...
One thing I've learned from liberals, is that they *do* see the lies, the distortions, the blatant pandering, the immorality, etc. These things simply don't matter to them. It's really sad, but it explains how the Kennedy and the F-n types continue to be employed.
While a conservative sees lying and pandering as overt signs of immoral character, the liberal mindset embraces these tendencies, as "evidence" that their candidates "bow" to them. It appears to be some kind of sick power trip. So, if a F'n candidate lies/panders/bs's, to a liberal it is a sign of prostration toward the citizenry. They like that! THAT's how a liberal can chant and believe that a lying SOB is "doing the work of the people". It's all about power.
hilarious keywords!
the ends justify the means..... I am afraid you are right. They don't care if they are lied to, as long as their side wins.
***Where did you learn your English at? :=)***
LOL!
Which gives me a chance to quote my favorite Churchill saying. When criticized for using a preposition at the end of a sentence, Churchill wrote, "This is the sort of errant pedantry up with which I will not put."
I've also been known to occasionally split an infinitive. :=)
