Love Sarah...but.

The Laura Ingraham Show has a response for your type of response....”butt monkies”. Say you like/agree with something....BUT (monkey screams in back ground) you come up with the criticism.

Of course people could just be running around saying “oh nozzzze” the big bad MSM!!!!

I am just frustrated with self promoting idiots. The world is on the brink of a major war in Eastern Europe, our rights are being taken away by the courts and the politicians, this is a time of unparalleled danger to freedom at home and abroad... And this woman is making really silly comments at a serious time. These are not words of a politician or a leader, these are the words of a media personality and do not belong in front page news.

I am done on this thread, just my honest opinion.


Three Points:

(1) You shouldn’t had started with this thread in the first place (saves you grief)

(2) “Drama Queen” much?

(3) The problem with Russia/US is not Gov. Palin’s comments but the current occupants in the White House. If you can’t comprehend the difference between a private citizen (who is not in public office) versus POTUS “mom jeans” and VPOTUS “Bupkis,” then it would be best for you to stay away from the chat boards until mommy lets you have the keyboard back.

Who, in your opinion, and in a public forum, is speaking out about our Constitutional rights? Who is out fighting for conservatives and the principles that this country was founded on? Who do you see turning this sinking ship around? You say it’s not Sarah (calling her a self promoting idiot).

Then who is your choice?


Jane did he ever respond to your question? They rarely do tell you who they support.

Could it be......Rand perhaps????

” Do we agree with the first amendment or not?”

Oh, I fully agree with it, but then, I’ve read it too. It starts with “Congress shall make no law . . .” It doesn’t say squat about private persons or private forums or personal opinions which might affect those persons or forums.

And before we drift off into 14th Amendment Land, that amendment only addressed individual states. . . again no mention of private persons or forums.

So, JR can (if he so wishes) tell you to take your opinions and shove ‘em and he has the keys to this forum so he can enforce his decisions. Other people on the forum (like you and me) don’t have the enforcement ability so we can only point out your apparent lack of education.

Have a nice day.

That’s a new pic (to me) of her. Stunning.

Hey Onyx... Are you related to, or good friends with, the Palins? I saw the candid pics you took at Iron Dog this year. They were excellent. I only got a posed shot of me and my wife with Sarah just before she left.

Just Curious.

Because there is a difference between terrorists/combatants pulled off the battlefield outside of the U.S. and U.S. citizens arrested on the street inside the U.S.

So what about domestic terrorists? Is it OK to waterboard them?

I believe In said earlier on this thread that I agree with her sentiment. I was just saying that this comment could be a problem if she were planning on running for President.
Why is it people around here act like lefties protecting Obama?

When has ANYTHING anyone on the left said EVER hurt their presidential aspirations?

You’re the one (and a couple of others) with “concern” for things Sarah says...just like the lefties.

I don’t care what she says. She has the right to say whatever she wants. I agree with her but it is silly to think that things people say can haunt them later.

That is why she most likely said she didn’t really want to run for office because she liked to say what she wants. She did say that, you know?

I agree with that.

Do you ever get the sensation you're playing tug o' war with yourself? Please explain if you meant to say "I agree with her but it is silly to think that things people say can haunt them later."

You may have misstated what it is most likely you said to yourself in your head but then misspoke to your silly typing fingers and, if left uncorrected, it could come back to haunt you later.

You agree with WHAT, exactly?

So what about domestic terrorists? Is it OK to waterboard them?

I would say it depends on their citizenship - U.S. citizen? They should have a trial with a right to an attorney.

If they are a citizen and it is proven beyond reasonable doubt in front of impartial jurists that they are acting on behalf of a foreign power (I'm not talking about ELF, or Weather Underground, Timothy McVeigh etc), but no kidding under direction of say Al-Qaida, Iran, Russia, Hamas, etc - so, yes to Hassan at Ft Hood) as an unlawful enemy combatant and there is reasonable belief that they hold information that could cause further loss of American life - yes.

And the evidence submitted needs to be in full view of the public.

Again, I'm not talking about citizens deemed against the government, but no kidding against "We the People," and under verifiable influence/control of hostile, foreign, enemy powers. - As they are enemies and not acting as citizens; they're not even acting as citizens asserting their "rights" to rebel.

Unlawful enemy combatant here in the country illegally, or on a visa status to infiltrate and commit acts of terror, or that sought to attain citizenship under false pretense? By all means....and bill them for the water, rag, and bucket.

And in any of those cases, it should not be the civilian police, or the FBI conducting the interrogation, but the Department of Defense, or the CIA (responsible for gathering info against overseas adversaries).

And further, there should be A LOT of oversight and the questioning under water boarding should only be in regards to hostile foreign enemy action against U.S. territory, her people, and her interests - not of any other U.S. citizen unless it is in direct relation to terrorist activity under the guidance, control, or influence of a foreign power.

Any questioning beyond that of a national defense nature (i.e. anything crime related) should be under the FBI, or appropriate law enforcement agency, with the suspect's right to an attorney protected.

But then, I don't view water boarding as torture. Maybe a little unusual (from the cruel and unusual clause), but not something that should be used to investigate crime, or citizen rebellion - only in national defense against a foreign belligerent.

Defense is for defense and crime is for law enforcement. Military defense techniques are not for law enforcement. (sorry no HMMWVs, military weapons, drones, or Bradleys either, coppers).

I view it much in the same way as calling out the National Guard or Active Duty if Cuba suddenly invaded Florida - legitimate response to an act of war committed by a foreign power..

No thanks. But aren't you the least bit concerned these posts of yours may come back to haunt you? Last night, you sure were concerned about Palin's words coming back to haunt HER. Were you drinking then, drinking now, or both?

Tell ya what: go sleep it off and come back here and read your comments when you're sober.
