Stephanie, the woman is an 'end of timer', do you know what that is?

we'll see if your crystal ball is right. Won't we...lol
I doubt it, but you all can dream. now try and have a nice day

So you don't know what that is.

What's 'that'? The cornerstone of Christianity? I expect she's familiar with it.

What's more entertaining however, is that YOU 'feel' that it's something worthy of ridicule.

Please spend more time ridiculing Christians and Christianity... if Governor Palin were here, she'd likely point ya toward the last few elections and ask ya, "How's that workin' for ya?"

2008 and 2012 worked out very nicely for us, thank you.

'08, yes... Big year for evil.

'10, '12, '14 however... resulted in the loss of >1300 Democrats being kicked to the political curb, across every level of the US political spectrum.

Since '08 the LGBT political advocacy has been decimated and with the great political shark jump of 2014... support for the normalization of sexual abnormality is in the tank.

"Conservatism, though a necessary element in any stable society, is not a social program; in its paternalistic, nationalistic and power adoring tendencies it is often closer to socialism than true liberalism; and with its traditionalistic, anti-intellectual, and often mystical propensities it will never, except in short periods of disillusionment, appeal to the young and all those others who believe that some changes are desirable if this world is to become a better place."
Friedrich August von Hayek-The Road to Serfdom

WRONG...

Gay Marriage Will Destroy the GOP
If conservatives don’t embrace the inevitable, they'll become irrelevant.

Since last year, the progress toward marriage equality has been nothing less than stunning. Nearly a year ago, the Supreme Court granted full federal recognition of married same-sex couples in declaring the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional. In rapid succession since then, federal judges in 13 states have overturned their state’s respective bans on same sex unions. The latest was last week in Pennsylvania, when Judge John E. Jones III, a G. W. Bush appointee, overturned the ban, writing, “We are a better people than what these laws represent.” Because Republican Gov. Tom Corbett has declined to appeal the judge’s decision, Pennsylvania is now the 19th state to legalize same-sex marriage.

Federal judges have ruled against the bans as diverse as Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia. Gay marriage isn’t just for blue states anymore.

Public opinion on this issue is marching forward as well. According to a recent Washington Post/ABC News poll, 59 percent of Americans now support gay marriage. Only a third opposes it, nearly the reverse of the same poll 10 years ago. Forty percent of Republicans support it, and nearly 60 percent of Republicans between the ages of 18 and 29. Even 51 percent of white evangelicals under 35 support it, according to the Public Religion Research Institute.

And yet the Christian Right, or at least most of its self-proclaimed leaders, just won’t let it go. In mid-May, a group of them called the Conservative Action Project met outside Washington, D.C., to plot their next moves and devise their agenda to push back against the Republican leadership in Congress, whom they see as too soft on Obama and his agenda. Mainstream business groups like the Chamber of Commerce, which is keen to see a GOP takeover of the Senate after missed opportunities in 2010 and 2012, are siding with the leadership.

Although some of the attendees do not share the Conservative Action Project’s anti-gay agenda, most of them do. At the mid-May meeting, they reaffirmed their explicit opposition to same-sex marriage along with opposition to abortion and illegal immigration reform. Tony Perkins, head of the anti-gay Family Research Council, led a panel about restoring the “traditional family” as a Republican Party priority, as if almost universal opposition to gay rights has not been the party’s priority for several decades.

Polling consistently shows that independents, younger voters and women—all of whom used to routinely vote Republican in presidential contests—are now more often than not reliable Democrat voters. They are also pro-gay rights and same-sex marriage, especially younger voters. Unless Republicans begin to win some of them back with policies of social tolerance, they will simply no longer be in contention in presidential elections. Slavish devotion to right-wing social policies is the road to oblivion on the national stage.

So it’s time to stop letting the anti-gay tail wag the Republican dog. The Christian Right spokesmen’s pious pleas for tolerance for their anti-gay religious convictions will fall on deaf ears (and should) as long as they continue their own intolerance for those who practice different faiths or have different sexual orientations than they do.

Ending their tight grip on the party’s social agenda, and its 2016 platform, must be the top priority of those who wish to bring the Republican Party into the 21st century and make it appeal to more than just old white men.

Ayup... when the republicans started saying they were the party of family values the religious folks quite literally, bought in hook line and sinker. The Catholics and southern baptists being the strongest voices in said groups resulted in the republicans becoming the party of hate wrt. same sex issues. Not all republicans, but certainly the ones with the loudest voices and the most religious money to back them. This of course is contradictory to the republicans usually standing for liberty. Bringing religion into the party was a really bad idea. Matters of religion don't belong in a political party. Matters of religion should be decided in the home not by DC. This one issue was the tipping point for me leaving the republican party. I can't support a party of hate.

 

[koshergrl]

What utter horseshit you are peddling.

 

[BlindBoo]

Hum, I read that as There are a lot of people who , like Sarah Palin, ........

Don't read anything to stay informed on issues.

Think that being a half term governor of a state with close proximity to Russia gave her special insight to international relation between the two countries.

Talks too much about pigs and lipstick.........

 

[koshergrl]

Hum, I read that as "there are a lot of people who, unlike Sarah Palin, don't understand the relationship that exists between Russia and Alaska"

In other words, ignorant jackasses.

 

[hazlnut]

It's scary that anyone ever took her seriously.

 

[RKMBrown]

Hum, I read that as "there are a lot of people who, unlike Sarah Palin, don't understand the relationship that exists between Russia and Alaska"

In other words, ignorant jackasses.

A rare time when I agree with you. You'd be surprised how many Americans have never looked at the distance between alaska and russia on a globe... they've only seen maps with russia on the far right and alaska on the far left.

They're also patently oblivious to what a shared waterway between two countries means in terms of issues those who border that waterway must be well versed in.

The strait is about 55 miles wide at is narrowest points. True, the small islands mean very little but from a territorial standpoint, they are relatively close together.

You folks can criticize her intelligence all you want. Does nothing to me. But one thing I know.....Bush went to Princeton and Obama went to Harvard......and the left sees Bush as a buffoon and the right sees Obama as a buffoon.

And have you ever listened to some of our members of congress? My God...you ask them a question and the answer they give you has nothing to do with the question...yet they truly believe they answered the question.

Putting her ideology aside, Palin may have been a refreshing change.

I like Palin. Clearly she's not the brightest bulb, she's no military strategist, and her political savy in front of scum bag MSM media hacks was lacking. But I'd have more faith and trust in Palin as a leader than a guy like Obama or McCain.

 

[JoeMoma]

Anyone that voted for a ticket with Joe Biden as VP has no credibility to criticise Palin.

 

[konradv]

What's not to like? She's a typical American woman... .

The same can be said for Hillary but watch righties say there's a big difference between Sarah-hate and Hillary-hate. Personally, I don't see it.

 

[koshergrl]

Well Hillary has actually done the things we hate her for. We don't have to make up stuff and attribute it to her to justify our hatred.

We hate her for the things she actually has done, that leftist weirdoes applaud.

There's that.
