Thats how you lose your guns.

That being said I always thought a kid whose daddy got him a job was a puss. My old man flat told me you gotta work ...go find a job, thats what men do
Literally millions of people in this country have had assistance from a parent or relative in finding a job at one time or another. The fact that you didn't doesn't give you the right to ridicule or cast judgment on those that did.
It must have really sucked being you as a young adult.........maybe it still does, I don't know.

"I'm just doing my job," he said...Fagan, who also maintains a journalistic Web site, said Monday he wasn't out to take potshots at the governor. It seems it would've required a minimum of journalistic standards for Fagan to have made a simple phone call to the company to correct his misunderstanding that federal regs required an apprentice to have a diploma. The company says that's not true.
I'd be more inlined to believe his assertion that he's not taking potshots at Governor Palin if Fagan published another article showing his research that uncovers ALL the apprentices in Alaska who do not have high school diplomas. Waiting...

These are Mafia techniques.
Specifically, they are lavendar mafia techniques. They don't use knuckle-breakers to ruin people's lives, they use the public airwaves.

It doesnt matter. He doesnt qualify according to the program rules. End of matter.
Oh stuff it. Since when did we become such panty-wearing legalists here on FR?

So the constitution arent rules? We can break them anytime we want? YES! Apparently we can!
Article II, Section I
To name just one of the MANY Contitutional rules that CONgre$$ and the Tyrants in Black Robes have broken.

I evaluate the Palin family using the same criteria I would apply to any family. If any Democrat politicians teenage daughter had gotten knocked up by a teenage high school dropout whose mother is a drug dealer, conservatives would be howling endlessly about how the girls parents were both too busy with their careers to bother raising their children properly. Lack of family values, destroying the fabric of society, etc, etc.Agreed.
But like the Clinton crowd circled the wagons for him during impeachment, the Palin crowd circles the wagons for her. Doesn't matter what they did, there is some way to rationalize it and spin it to their advantage.
Palin has single handedly collapsed the few remaining support columns the conservatives had in the arena of family values.
Go to any Christian bookstore and pick any family book off the shelf. You'll find exactly what you described on the pages. Parents busy with careers open the family to all sorts of societal and cultural problems.
Now all of a sudden, conservatives are embracing these same liberal shortcomings because Sarah is the real article.
Sometimes it seems like a bad dream.

Under what constitutional authority does the fed issue a rule requiring a HSD for an apprentice program? If they're providing money for the program, the Feds can set the rules.

So you agree with that? You dont stand for the constitution being the law? I mean... because someone gets away with then its no longer wrong?
You guys are crawling out of the wood work today boy.
To: Citizen Blade
Ive been an electrician in the IBEW for over 30 years. If you dont have a diploma or GED you don’t get into apprenticeship...period.

If this were Al Gore’s kid, we’d be having a melt down over special preference. Since it’s Palin’s soon to be son in law, we’re having a melt down because he apparently isn’t getting special treatment.

We're not talking about some corporate sinecure given to the n'er-do-well son of a Skull and Bones buddy. Lots of jobs are gotten through networking, which includes family. This kid was training to be an oil field worker in Alaska- I doubt there's any such thing as a soft no-work job in that environment. All his dad was able to do was get him in the door. Any success, or lack thereof, will be on him.

Saul Alinksy had a lot to say about using the “rules” against your enemy. Basically - EVERYONE breaks some of the rules. Then you build it up into a huge scandel, etc.
To: SolidWood
An award? Thank you!
Still doesn't change that we are now embracing what before the convention we were doing everything to distance ourselves from.

Making your enemy abide by his own rules only works against conservatives, because only conservatives have any respect for those rules in the first place.
There is a reason for this dichotomy, and it has to do with what Sowell calls the “Conflict of Visions”.

So you agree with that? No, no I don't. What I am saying, and have been saying for quite some time, is that we no longer have a Constitutional Republic where we are governed by the rule of law.
The Constitution has been ripped, torn apart, trampled on, shredded and will be officially burned on January 20th.
You can not have a set of "laws" while allowing two thirds, or more, of them to be ignored.
