.... I was shocked to learn of the comment made by President Obama about Special Olympics, Governor Palin said. This was a degrading remark about our worlds most precious and unique people, coming from the most powerful position in the world. These athletes overcome more challenges, discrimination and adversity than most of us ever will. By the way, these athletes can outperform many of us and we should be proud of them. I hope President Obamas comments do not reflect how he truly feels about the special needs community. ....

Nice work Gov.! She is not afraid to take a shot at Teleprompter Barry and knows when to pile on. More proof of why so many of us here love her so much.

Sarah pwns Obama on this one. Too bad TOTUS was not with OholyO on Leno, he rightly said that he had nothing to do with the Big Boy’s gaffe. Silly Obama, going anywhere with out TOTUS! When will he ever learn?

Sarah has the moral authority, if you will, on this issue because of her special needs baby.
Nobody will say this out loud, but I will. There is anectodal evidence that many of these babies are aborted nowadays. How liberal are the liberals really on issues such as handicaps, when they would prefer that these babies never be born in the first place?
To: Lou Budvis
Good for her.
She needs to make political hay when she can and keep her name in the news... plus what she said and how she said it wasn’t read from a teleprompter.

So... not scientists or engineers or soldiers or scholars.
It is the handicapped who are "our worlds most precious and unique people".
Whatever.

As Obama said, they should not be “Saddled with a mistake”. Funny that’s very similar to what the Nazi’s did, dehumanized life so that they could more easily justify taking it.
Say it out loud, its time to stop playing by the Libtards PC rules, call a spade a spade.

May I PLEASE have your permission to “borrow” your tagline, just changing the locale that would be allowed to leave?
Possible ENCOURAGED to leave??? I can think of a good number.
There used to be a saying, “He raised property values by the act of moving away.” Your tag fits to a TEE.
