I agree. It reminds me again of why I appreciate Palin so much. Because she’s really not “of” this current, impotent, faggy American culture. She’s like a welcome throwback of what America used to be like, gritty, straight-talking, no-nonsense, and down-to-earth. Modern society has no vinegar to it anymore, no color, and is crippled by insane self-consciousness and fealty to PC mindthink. Palin is the opposite in so many ways. She’s like a 1950s episode of “Gunsmoke” come to life in a degenerate world of Miley Cyrus and her foam-finger.

My 91-year-old uncle died a few months ago. He’d been in the Navy between 1940 and 1946. Toughest, slyest bird you’d ever encounter. He would have smiled, winked, and nodded at this Palin dust-up. It would have affirmed something ‘positive’ to him about the Palin family. Ditto everyone I else I knew from his peer group, both male and female. Modern America wouldn’t even remotely get any of this. Its worldview has been totally flipped and nuetered in favor of weakness and metrosexuality.

Too many South 48 staters are moving into Alaska and turning it into a girly state. In the “good ole days” fisticuffs settled what the police are called into stop, today. Pity.

Low class?

Pointing out that Bristol got pregnant because she believed a young man who turned out to be a creep? Yeah, pointing that out, and using it as a tool to attack her family is pretty low class. It just isn't appropriate to mock other people's misery.

Is your family so perfect then?

Society has evolved a bit in the past 200 years.

No it hasn't. It has devolved quite dramatically. Yes, our technology went up, but our concept of morals, rights and freedom has declined drastically.

We are a worse people than we were 200 years ago.

But it just amazes me how modern American culture has become so separated from the vibrant and rough-hewn individualism of its history, and common contexts that were the norm just a few short generations ago have become so foreign to the present.

I just voiced a similar sentiment in my previous post. Great minds think alike! :)

The people that have some weird problem with this Palin dust-up are not people I recognize as my countrymen, nor people I’d want to ally myself on anything.

And that reminds me of this:

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

Oh really? How many slaves do you own these days? How many Indians are being forcibly marched out of lands they’ve lived on for hundreds of years, and dying by the thousands along the way? (like happened 200 years ago) I’m sure you’re pining for those good old days.

Oh really? How many slaves do you own these days?

My friend, *we* are the slaves nowadays.

How many Indians are being forcibly marched out of lands they’ve lived on for hundreds of years, and dying by the thousands along the way?

Enough to equal 53 million abortions? 85,000 deaths per year from alcohol? 16,000 AIDS deaths per year? All that inner city crime? I guess it depends on how you count the value of lives, and which ones you consider important.

I’m sure you’re pining for those good old days.

600,000 people died to abolish slavery, and you mock them. Like I said, you are low class.

As Keats said:

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

You’re really going to compare slavery to what we put up with today? Are you REALLY that stupid, or just drinking too much on a Friday night.

Tomorrow, you can leave your house, and go, or do, whatever you want. But you’re going to whine that “you’re a slave”. Poor baby. What you really are is a fool.

If bigbully45 does not calm down, I suggest you gather your family and calmly walk out of the bar together. /s

[DiogenesLamp]

What you really are is a fool.

Well one of us certainly is. And a low class one at that.
