But I'm with you. I don't think Sarah Palin is the "end-all, be-all" like so many around here. In fact, I've got Palin fatigue...
I must be the only person on FR who is disturbed by all of the talk of wholsome Alaska lifestyle that involves underage sex, illigitimate birth, and drug dealing inlaws. Americans love their myths.
I had no idea that is what the show was about. They are really going to be showing undeage sex and drug dealing??
Wow!!!!
I’m sure your family is perfect.
Sarah Palin doesn’t have a daughter who is pro-abortion and posed nude for Playboy unlike say...Ronald Reagan’s daughter.
Michael Reagan was probably the only conservative in the family and he was adopted.
I hear they went from free Pizza Uno down to CiCi’s and now no pizza at all and now they want you guys to blog out of Starbuck’s or Mom’s basement. Any truth to that?
Wait a minute, I thought on the last Palin thread you were trolling you said you were leaving FR because of people here liking Sarah Palin, so why in heaven’s name are you still here??????
Yes it seems so if that is what you think the show is about.
Just give it a watch you might see her and her family in a different light. Afterall she and her family are only human
therefore they are not imune to the pitfalls of life but they dust themselves off and keep going. I for one like her family from what I have seen and they seem like real people
You really need to talk to someone, your mind is a little warped.
But I'm with you. I don't think Sarah Palin is the "end-all, be-all" like so many around here. In fact, I've got Palin fatigue...
It sounds like you're someone who is wound up pretty tight about all this loose Alaskan lifestyle. But, I would bet you are really loose as a goose masquerading as a Puritan.
I must be the only person on FR who is disturbed (don't flatter yourself) by all of the talk of wholsome Alaska lifestyle that involves underage sex, illigitimate birth, and drug dealing inlaws. Americans love their myths.A Hospice Nurse huh?
I could go on for about 3 more paragraphs, but you get the idea. Sarah has the same problem most of us have and it's hard to make others do what you want them to do sometimes. What I do know is her daughter didn't kill the baby and is sorry she got mixed up with Levi and Sarah sure didn't have any control over potential inlaws. When Sarah found out her baby had Down's Syndrome, she didn't kill it and that's pretty much all I need to know about her character. 70% of High School students have sex before they graduate and many of them get pregnant. Most of them kill the baby. This isn't the 1950's anymore, so finding that clean cut all American guy scooter may get a little difficult to find now. Your choice would be Obama or Clinton. At least Obama hasn't put rubbers on the Christmas tree yet.
“I must be the only person on FR who is disturbed by all of the talk of wholsome Alaska lifestyle that involves underage sex, illigitimate birth, and drug dealing inlaws. Americans love their myths.”
Americans love their mass media distortions.
Alaska is no better nor any worse than the other 49 states. You can find the good and wholesome in addition to the bad and ugly in any of them. There is no “Alaska lifestyle” any more than there is a Pennsylvania lifestyle
or a Utah lifestyle.
I think if you examine the case, you will find that those originated in and were exported to Alaska from the "lower 49". What people admire is the "frontier settler" mentality that still subsists in Alaska that has been largely lost in the "blue" areas.
I’m not sure where you get your information, but my family lives in Alaska. My daughter-in-law is a nurse, and my son is a high school math teacher. In the summer he runs a halibut fishing charter.
My granddaughters attend a Christian college in Michigan and the oldest will graduate in December, finishing in 3 and a half years and is going on for her Masters in Kinesiology. She shot her first bear last summer. The two girls, like Sarah, led their bb team to an AK championship four years ago.
Their brother, a senior this year, wants to be a pastor, not a preacher or evangelist...a pastor. Their younger sister, a sophomore, has played bb for an elite Alaska team competing in tournaments in the lower 48 for the last two years. The two of them challenge themselves by going into the wilderness for five days with minimal equipment.
For the entire family, entertainment is backpacking for several days at a time. Give them a choice between pizza and TV or camping and they’ll camp everytime.
Yeah, they hunt, and all of them know how to handle a gun. All of them, the girls included know how to gut a halibut, and in fact, crewed for their father (getting good tips, I might add.)
Sarah’s so-called reality show is nothing more than a concentrated glimpse of an Alaskan family, and it’s a glimpse that I’ve seen up close and personal. From what I’ve seen of the promos, it rings true.
Sarah Barracuda, I’ve included you in this post because of your interest in AK...and Sarah.
Wow, your head is so far up your a** no wonder everything smells like sh**!
Just watch the show. At least you will be judging what you are seeing as opposed to what the enemies of decency and the Constitution keep telling you!
You're not quite right.
