Governor Palin Comes Out As The Better Mother When Compared To Wendy Davis Of Texas

[Uncensored2008]

You forgot Hockey mom and feeding her family from the wolves she shot from a helicopter

You sound jealous. Have you had your testosterone checked?

RW?

He did a sperm count.


Of Obama...


Does that count?

No but you are the one who protested Vlad the Impaler is not his real name while utterly whiffing on the fact that Pol Pot isn't either. Busted.

Not really, because I'm not the one with the name fetish.

Fuck, you're dense. Did you or did you not post:

Doesn't change the fact "the Impaler" was not his name. You can poeticize any monosyllabic name and give it metre. That doesn't mean shit.

After posting this:

Who can blame him? Pol Pot is a cool ass name for a bad guy.

What? the Impaler isn't his name. Or do you still think it is?

I pretty much sign off on the racist BS, my parents raised me that God created man, that racism is ignorance and fear.

It gets tiring and I'm tired of dealing with idiots.

Racism offends me.

But perhaps not for the reason you might suppose.

The foundation of racism is collectivism. Racism claims that a person in the product of their skin color or the family they come from. The idea that a man is determined by his lineage, rather than by the effort of his mind and his integrity.

This idea offends me at the most basic level. As a Libertarian I hold exactly the opposite to be true, that the measure of a man is how they apply their natural talents and overcome natural weakness. I don't believe in a god who predestines our outcome, how much less will I accept that the level of melanin determines what kind of person we are. I hold that we are what we choose to be. A Stephen Hawking can overcome enormous physical limitations and still become great. I reject out of hand the idea that race determines who we are and what we will do.

Hi Uncensored: This is a good description of the externalized racism.
What about the internalized part?

Because both whites and blacks were forced into slavery by the European imperialist colonization and trade, including raped and cross bred between the Irish and African slaves, there is inbred hatred and phobic fear that is passed down in the SPIRIT.

This INTERNALIZED fear from old wounds of genocide, that take centuries and generation after generation to heal, has to be addressed at the root for all the EXTERNAL projections to quit repeating in a cycle.

It takes 4-5 generations for these things to pass fully out of the system.
It is not just external on a collective level, but things are carried internally
and being projected outward by each person affected spiritually by this social conditioning.

The healing takes place inside and out; everyone has been affected by past oppression and injustice, which is expressed in different contexts by race, class, gender or culture etc.

The common factor in change is forgiveness, so that is an internal process first, which then changes how we see and interact in relationships and 'collectively' in society as a result.

Depends what he means by it.
If he is just poking at those two people for their piss poor politics, that's his issue with them.

If he is trying to make a racially loaded statement about Blacks and monkeys or apes,
that's his issue with that stigma to incite reaction.

What about you?

if you say "all you cons" what kind of statement are you trying to make?

If you are just poking at specific people, that's one thing.

If you are implying that all conservatives tolerate this, that can be
argued as equally bigoted or biased in making an unfair generalization by class or group.

 

[HenryBHough]

It's not conservatives tolerating that frosts the Marxist element - it's that so many (former) Obamabots are nodding sagely in understanding that really has their knickers in a twist.

 

[HenryBHough]

So it seems that Palin family values involve not tolerating abuse of any family member while Democrat family values call for abortion as a cure-all. Compare and contrast what the two women did in time of distress.

Hi Henry. If people judged me by what I did in the past .... I don't even know what to say. Nothing. End of story, no argument.

If you look at people can do in the future, based on what we LEARNED from the past,
then we can all do pretty great things if we all do our part, based on what we can do best!

Everyone has bad in their past. I would not judge Arnold Schwarzenegger by his affair that ended his marriage.
If he doesn't learn from it, I might watch out for that, or else it could repeat.

I don't think either Palin or Davis wants to repeat failures.
If they both have different ideas for solutions why not take the BEST and develop those?
Why focus on just the bad to discredit someone?
If we judged everyone for our failures, we'd all flunk out of school!

Why not focus on correcting and learning, so we can excel.
The best teachers don't try to make us fail, they make sure we learn how to improve so we can succeed!

Why can't we as Americans lift each other up and strengthen our country by maximizing our resources?
Why this insistence on tearing each other down. What does that build but negativity and resentment?
Why not build solutions together, using our differences as an advantage not a weakness?

More Palin family values

From what we know right now and what we are learning about Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis, Governor Sarah Palin wins hands down as the better mother and the way she pursued her career. Sarah Palin had her first child Trak at age 25 in 1989 but she did not abandon him or her husband who she married a year before. She stuck with him and helped him out with his small commercial salmon fishing business. Palin went on to have Bristol in 1990 and became a city council member in 1992. Still working as a council woman, she had Willow in 1994 and became mayor of Wasilla in 1996. She was juggling 3 kids while Todd was away for weeks on end on Alaska's north slope working in the oil fields. In her second term as mayor she had her 4th child Willow in 2001 and she didn't let her pregnancy get in the way of her duties. As governor she found out she was pregnant with a down baby. She never aborted it despite the complications and conditions that could arise. Instead, she went through a full term pregnancy as she was doing her duties as governor and had Trig in 2008 while maintaining a whopping 89 to 93% approval rating. In all, as a mother, Sarah Palin raised 5 kids during her working career. She did this working as a city council member, campaigning and becoming mayor for two terms, being chairperson of the Alaska Oil & Gas Conservation Commission and finally campaigning against 2 powerful experienced politicians by the names of Governor Tony Knowles and incumbent Governor Frank Murkowski beating them both becoming governor herself. I call that ethical and moral courage. She stood by her man and never abandoned her family.




Now what we know about Wendy Davis from this past week and a half, I would say she doesn't even come close being a mother with good moral character and ethical standards. In Wendy Davis, we have a woman who put herself/career first over family, especially her two kids abandoning both after using her husbands 401k money to pay for her college expenses.

So a family that gets into a drunken brawl is good family to you?

Hi Steve: Wendy's daughters would disagree with you and how her mother is misportrayed in the media:
Wendy Davis 8217 Daughters Write Open Letters To Texans CBS Dallas Fort Worth

If you KNOW how badly Palin was twisted around misportrayed, why not understand the same with Davis?
Everyone has weak points that can be bloated into a grotesque caricature! happens to the best of people!

the link above has the letters from her daughters.
I will also post below if that helps! Thanks, Steve.
If you treat Davis the way you want people to treat Palin, with respect, maybe we can save our country from going downhill.

Now what we know about Wendy Davis from this past week and a half, I would say she doesn't even come close being a mother with good moral character and ethical standards. In Wendy Davis, we have a woman who put herself/career first over family, especially her two kids abandoning both after using her husbands 401k money to pay for her college expenses.

My name is Dru Davis and I am Wendy Davis’s daughter. I hate that I feel the need to write this, but I have been reading and hearing so many untrue things about my mom and I want to set the record straight. And sadly I feel the need to be crystal clear on the malicious and false charge of abandonment as nothing could be further from the truth. My mom has always shared equally in the care and custody of my sister and me.

My mom had my sister at 19 and although she was technically married for a short period of time, she was handling almost everything on her own. She was working 2 jobs regularly and going to school. She met my dad when Amber was still very young. They had an amazing love that I witnessed for many years. Unfortunately, it didn’t last, like so many love stories don’t.

I can tell you that my mom was a remarkable mother and continues to be so to this day. She was there on my first day of school and my last, and so many days in between. She never missed a school performance or a parent-teacher conference. Even if that meant she had to miss something else important. My sister and I were always her first priority. She was there when I needed her and even when I thought I didn’t. My mom was my Brownie Troop leader. I still remember camping out in the backyard with my troop after our trip was cancelled because of bad weather. She was also my field hockey team mom during my senior year of high school, not to mention that she went with me to every single field hockey camp, tryout, program that I ever had. She helped me sort through college possibilities, helped me with my applications and visited colleges with me.

I will never forget our drive to Colorado when she was dropping me off as a freshman at Colorado College. I cried the entire way. I am surprised she made it through that one. And after we got there, she stayed for days making sure every detail of my room was perfect until I finally had to tell her to leave.

My mom has been my sounding board for everything in my life, from resumes and papers to helping me with relationships. She was and is an amazing mother and has been the greatest role model I could imagine. Whatever happened, whatever difficult things she and my dad went through, she was always there. And I knew I was loved by her, regardless.

Yes, she went to law school after my sister and I were born. We lived with her the first semester, but I had severe asthma and the weather there wasn’t good for me. My parents made a decision for my sister and me to stay in Texas while my mom kept going to school. But that doesn’t mean she wasn’t there for us. She traveled back and forth all the time, missing so many classes so that she could be with us. Her friends were such a big help. Especially her third year, when she would only go to school two weeks out of the month and her friends would share class notes so she could try to keep up while she was home with us in Fort Worth.

I love that my mom went to law school and was dedicated to both her work and us. Watching her work so hard to achieve something great has been one of the most important lessons in my life. To this day, I watch my mom greeted and hugged by people who love her and are thankful for things she has done for them. I am proud of her for that. Both of my parents made sacrifices to make education happen for all of us, my sister and me included. And both of them have been great role models for what it means to care about people in the world.

My name is Amber Davis and I am Wendy Davis’ oldest daughter. I have spent the past few days reading the ludicrous comments that people have shared on social media about my mother and our family. It is a shame that those who don’t know us feel the need to comment on the details of our lives as if they’ve lived them. I have a hard time understanding how such hate and negativity can result from one person’s false accusations.

My mother had me when she was very young, a kid herself. And although she was married for a short period of time, parenthood was her sole responsibility. Yes, we lived in a trailer. Does it matter how long? Not to me. Even though some people have tried to question my own memories; I do remember the trailer, as well as the apartments that we lived in during the years that followed. I know that I was my mother’s first priority and that she wanted a better life for me than the one she was living. She worked 2 jobs and went to community college at night. She refused to repeat the life her family struggled in growing up.

When I was a toddler, she met my step-dad, Jeff. They shared an immediate connection and I started to realize what it was like to have a real family. They married shortly before I turned five. Not long after they married they had my sister, Dru, the biggest baby I have ever seen. My parents had an amazing marriage for many years. They challenged each other and pushed each other to want more out of life.

After graduating at the top of her class at TCU, she went on to Harvard law school. Dru and I lived with her the first semester but our parents soon realized that it would be better if we stayed in our childhood home in Texas, be around extended family and attend our regular schools. This was a decision made by both parents. I have recently heard the phrase “abandoned” quite often in the past week. That our mother “left us to be raised by our father” while she went on to pursue her education. Not only is this ridiculously unfair; it’s completely untrue. Dru and I have always been her number one priority. Always. And every decision our parents made was with our best interests at heart. We had an amazing support system while she was at Harvard and she was constantly traveling back and forth from school to be with us. I’m proud that my parents were able to make this arrangement work. People should be less concerned about who paid for what and pay more attention to the fact that she was accepted to Harvard law school, a dream she believed was unachievable.

People have come to know Wendy Davis the politician. But I want people to relate to Wendy Davis, my mother. I have a bond with my mother that is unlike any other. Even as a 31 year old adult, I will forever be referred to as her “Punky Brewster.” She is my best friend – the one I can confide in without judgment. I look up to her and rely on her for guidance and support, even to this very day. She is my rock and has always been a role model in my life.

My mother has achieved so much despite the odds. Her strength and desire to further her career is an inspiration and a quality I admire most about her. She has always had my full support and I am so proud of her accomplishments. She is a remarkable mother. I don’t think she gives herself enough credit sometimes.

Our family has gone through difficult times just like many others. That’s not news. That’s life. I’m sure many people can agree that divorce is certainly not an easy thing to experience. At that time, I was a young adult in college and Dru was in high school and to be clear, no one “lost or gave up custody” of either one of us. But no matter how difficult it was, both of our parents were there for us. And no matter what happened within our family, our mother always made it known that we were and remain the most important thing in her life.​
