Good for Sarah!! Sticking up for the basketball team!

Beat you by a minute, but you posted a picture!

I wonder if the snake from Illinois Rep. Luis Gutterhead or whatever his name is had anything to do with this.

When schools start to openly promote support for breaking laws, parents should consider alternative schools. Unfortunately, many parents lack resources for alternatives.

So they’re boycotting AZ for giving cops the authprity ot uphold fdederal law

But they are going to China with its forced sterilization, harvest of organs of executed political prisoners, unswerving support for the brutal regime in North Korea, the decimation of the Tibetan culture, and millions of selected abortions of females who will never grow up to play basketball

That shows liberal values alright

Palin said the school is still sponsoring a trip to China. “You know how they treat girls in China?” Palin said. “It makes no sense."

Unbelieveable!

She urged her enthusiastic fans not to settle for moderates to represent them: “Some Republicans apparently thought they’d have to move to the middle to win. I said, ‘No, no, no, no, no. You win by letting the middle move to you. You let the folks in the middle of the road know that your ideas are the right ones.”

How can she say that and still support John McCain? He has changed (to the right) on several major issues, especially border/illegals related.

We hear talk the talk.

Where is the walk the walk?

The whole thing stinks to high heaven ... making these girls pay for the school's idiotic decision ... when they worked their butts off winning conference, makes me sick. Highland Park is only minutes away from our home. Thoughts of toilet papering their school went through my mind.

I was pleased as can be to see Sarah addressed this issue with such vigor. It seems to me the kids could sign waivers (and their parents as well), if safety truly was the issue ...

Highland Park team forfeits the game thus creating the first PC forfeit in American History.

You're right! Grrrrrrrr!!!

How totally disingenuous can they be? Cancel a trip to Arizona for safety considerations yet continue with plans to send someone to China.

I am absolutely dumbfounded at the ruckus Arizona’s steps to protect it State’s people and property from those who are there illegally. It astounds me that people are no longer hesitant to stand up and call for actions against a sovereign state for doing no more than acting to meet its constitutional obligations.

Sadly, I have serious doubts if those of us who love the America we grew up in can snatch it back from the verge of destruction. Anyone who has any doubt as to how dangerous and destructive the invasion by illegal immigrants really is they need look no further than the behavior of those invaders.

“We cannot commit at this time to playing at a venue where some of our students’ safety or liberty might be placed at risk because of state immigration law.”

Why? Is it common for those students to be breaking the law, thus giving law enforcement an opportunity for further immigrant status checks? An admission like that should prompt a check right now!

BTW - I was there last night and Sarah was on fire.

Twenty-five years as a typesetter/proofreader/paste-up artist prevents me from putting up the straight pieces (as much as I try). I figured I'd probably get beaten, either way. Good story, though, eh? No one but Sarah would address this issue like this ... (I'll let the mods handle the deletion ...)

This story posted FIRST here.

Sarah in Chi-Town.

[SueRae]

The more I see her, the more I like her. And I liked her before she became McCain’s cloice for running mate.

I tell you, I had a sixth grade teacher that made the ENTIRE class stay home from a much-looked-forward-to field trip all because someone told her I threw the snowball that hit her head (the previous day). WHOLE class punished on a fallacy. Everyone's heart was broken. Different type story, but these kids' hearts are broken, too, and the decision is coming down from an authority figure that should be someone these kids look up to. This is just wrong!

Cool you were there!!

Liberals are fleeing AZ.
Illegals are fleeing AZ.
Junkies and dealers are fleeing AZ.
Hippies and welfare bums are fleeing AZ.

FReepers come out and visit us. This place is turning into a paradise!

[chrisser]

China?

Typical liberals. Whatever happened to “Free Tibet”? They expect that to happen with fairy dust and pixie farts?

We need to stop allowing liberals to vote and instead get them into the asylums they so woefully need. It’s for the children...

[GeronL]

They have no problem sending kids to a communist country like China though
