[On Matt Damon's comments on Sarah Palin]
Here's something for all of you to think about...
Please don't speak for me. I am a woman and I am NOT pro-choice. I strongly feel that the life of an unborn baby should rate more protection than a polar bear.
I happen to appreciate Sarah Palin's values. I also think that if you all had even the most basic knowledge of college level economics, you would understand that income redistribution is in fact socialism and devastating to our already suffering economy.
Educate yourselves and quit being so freakin angry about everything. Some people still have morals and values...and guess what...we have that right...just like you have the right to not have them.

"Some people still have morals and values"
Where? Where are these people?
Oh, you meant like Mrs. Palin? Mrs. "Hire my unqualified friends" Palin? Or Mrs. "We love earmarks until they're embarassing" Palin? Maybe Mrs. "Abstinence only OOOOOPS!" Palin? Or my favorite, Mrs. "Fire the librarian that won't ban books" Palin?
understand that income redistribution is in fact socialism and devastating to our already suffering economy.
It's your failed no-regulation "free market" that has raped this nation and congealed the vast majority of money into the hands of the smallest minority of people. Don't worry, though: the rich and political classes in this nation will be okay...it's just the other 95 per cent that will continue to shoulder (and have always shouldered)the burden for such irresponsiblity and gross mismanagement with higher unemployment, insurmountable debt, and deepening poverty.
"...income redistribution is in fact socialism and devastating to our already suffering economy. "
Right. Because income concentration (aka "greed") is doing so well. How's that credit crunch thing coming along?
Oh, simmer down deannab. Pretty soon Palin will be caught in a cheap motel room having a drug-fueled lesbian tryst with Ann Coulter and she'll be gone.
Unless the Republicans can find a way of blaming Obama.
I happen to appreciate Sarah Palin's values.
What values are those? Crapping in your own back yard to help the oil industry? Wasting Federal money as long as it helps you get re-elected (Alaska is the third worst state for spending more Federal money than its citizens pay in taxes)? Oh .. yeah - she's against abortion; who cares if she's honest or competent or lets her friends stick their hands in our pockets and has zero say on the abortion issue. The only thing that matters is that she agrees with ME on that one issue! [/sarcasm]
YO KETTLE
YEAH POT
I JUST NOTICED
HUH
YOU'RE BLACK
WELL SO ARE YOU

Damn right! These banks lend money to people who can't pay it back, on the assumption that they can always repossess the house. Then real estate prices crash and the house turns out to be less than the mortgage. So we "redistribute the income" from us taxpayers to Fannie Mae to bail them out of their stupidity! Same as we did with the savings and loan crisis 20 years ago. Same as we did with Chrysler. And when oil prices rise, we redistribute income from us to the oil companies by letting them keep the oil and pay us a fee for letting them pump it instead of keeping the oil ourselves and paying them a fee for pumping it, like they do in most of the rest of the oil producing world (which is the real reason they want to drill in Alaska and California).
Matt Damon is liberal? I know he played a gay man on Will and Grace, but I didn't realize. Awesome.
I am a woman and I am NOT pro-choice. I strongly feel that the life of an unborn baby should rate more protection than a polar bear.
I do believe a late term unborn baby should recieve more protection than an animal. But an early term fetus is little more than a clump of cells, and an animal, which is living and breathing and can feel pain, is more deserving of protection.
You mean polar bears AND babies that have already been born. Once they're out of the womb, oh fucking well! You're on your own, junior.
Shut your pie hole, bitch.
For your info, our economy is being devastated by deregulation and the removal of regulatory laws that would have kept corporations in check.
Socialism does not enter into it.
You would understand this if you did have a basic grasp of economics. Familiarity with politics would also be helpful.
We are not angry. We are terrified of people like you and Sarah Palin - stupid and irresponsible people without a moral compass or a social conscience.
You have brought us all to this, you witless fools.
All taxation, fiscal, and monetary policy is designed to redistribute income and wealth.
You fail Economics 101 before you even get to the mid-term.

"Some people still have morals and values"
Everyone does. It's just I like mine better.
"we have that right...just like you have the right to not have them."
Exactly, and by making the law enforce pro-life policies, you take away a woman's right to 'have no morals.'
You fail at consistency.
So, it's bad that I value choice just a bit more than life? It's bad that I value animal life more? Please, the world is over-populated by us. The least we can do is save the animals.
Educate yourself. Animals are important, too!
"#726574: Hopefully, 80 yrs from now, there will be less fucking conservatives."
Well, if they're fucking and are pro-life then there will probably be more of them. :)
"I am a woman and I am NOT pro-choice. "
Then you want someone else to make your decisions for you? You can do that if you want, but liberals have a different preference.
It's socialist, yes. But the other choice appears to be theocracy.
Those are the options we're presented, and I'd rather have a socialist president than a theocratic one.
@726574[i]Hopefully, 80 yrs from now, there will be less fucking conservatives.
I sgree. If not, there won't be an America.
who the fuck said anyone cares more for polar bears than they do for, "unborn babies?" i have never heard anyone saying that. the reason people are concerned with what's going on with the polar bears is because it's an issue that reflects the state of the earth's climate and environment, i.e., polar ice caps melting=not good for all of us. and liberals, angry? are you kidding me? do you not listen to your other conservative brethren?????
I simply can't willingly allow someone like Sarah Palin to gain any sort of power. She has demonstrated beyond any doubt that she is unfit in every way. She's an unfit mother, and unfit mayor, an unfit governor, and basically a power hungry bitch that got lucky because the GOP happened to be looking for someone with a vagina this year to appear progressive. She's a bimbo turned politician with radically backwards beliefs and only an elementary understanding of government. Upon realizing that she had a chance at the VP she was quoted in saying that she didn't even know what the VP's job entailed. She's clearly shown that her views on sex education are flawed and / or she doesn't give a fuck about her kids. She's demonstrated that she has no sympathy for rape victims and in fact favors the old testament's sentiments that it's the woman's own fault she got raped and she needs to pay the price. She's surrounded by numerous allegations ranging from abuse of power to deceit and misappropriation of funds, not to mention her blatant hypocracy.
I understand that there are many people who share her values. I'm just completely unswayed by the idea that I should lay down and allow such attrocities to be committed against my fellow citizens simply because a lot of people are too fucking ignorant to notice that she is not at all interested in the welfare of the American people. Being uneducated is not a virtue even if you seem to think it is. As an educated person it becomes my duty to protect the idiots in this country that would proactively destroy their own lives.
So
we can’t speak for you
yet you are entitled make decisions for others, because you have "morals and values"?
You're no better than Palin.
You know, it does take a lot of energy. And lord knows I don't want to be angry.
I really wasn't angry before Bush. I disliked a lot about Clinton, but at least I didn't think he was actively trying to undermine everything the founding fathers did to make America great.
/I strongly feel that the life of an unborn baby should rate more protection than a polar bear./
Yeah, who cares about a living and breathing polar bear, who is one of the last of its kind, struggling to survive in its shrinking environment, when you can save an unwanted, non-sentient clump of cells instead! Just another unwanted baby to add to the long list of the world's orphans. Who cares about the environment when we need to make more babies to gobble it up?
@Nutz for the win.
This post was actually unusually intelligent up to the words "I happen to appreciate Sarah Palin's values."
As she has so often demonstrated, Mrs. Palin doesn't have any values.
I happen to appreciate Sarah Palin's values.
Corruption, venality, viciousness, greed and hypocrisy?
Yeah and if you had a high school level degree in economics you would know that you don't spend money that you don't have, raise taxes outrageously, and place your town up to it's eyeballs in debt for the benefit of a few(like building an overpriced hockey rink in Wasilla, Alaska when a certain lady was mayor). Oh wait a minute she is a Republican overtaxing the poor and middle class to benefit the rich is standard operating procedure for the GOP.
"I also think that if you all had even the most basic knowledge of college level economics, you would understand that income redistribution is in fact socialism and devastating to our already suffering economy.
And why is our economy suffering? Would it have anything to do with capitalism?
Seems to me that income redistribution, in the present system, redistributes it all to the bankers, fat cats and con artists that run the economy. And they have brought us to our knees, through their greed and incompetence.
I'm not angry all the time. Do you know any liberals outside the internet? And we don't "not" have morals and values, we just have different ones. I am actually semi-pro-life (as in, I don't like third trimester abortions because at that point the fetus has a heartbeat and a brain and can feel pain), and I value education and tolerance. And I value the babies that are already born as much as the ones that aren't. I also think that protecting to polar bears is as important as protecting third-trimester fetuses.
it must take so much energy for all of you liberals to be so angry all the time.
This comes from fundementalism, a religion that fucking exists so that it's followers get the nice image of everyone else burning in hell.
income redistribution is in fact socialism
NO, IT'S FUCKING NOT! I realise this is normal brain level for a Republican but these words actually have meanings.
We're angry because you conservative pricks want to take away every right we've fought your kind for for the last two hundred years! We're angry because you want to turn a decent country into a Third World theocratic shithole! Because what the world really needs is more of those, right?
Really, all I'm getting out of this is "How dare you horrible people object to our abuse? The world would be so much better if you'd just shut up and take it, because we're so superior we're entitled to do anything we want to you!"
As a woman, your religion says you have no brain and no right to make decisions for yourself, let alone anyone else! Why should I be ruled by your owner's opinions (the only ones you're allowed to have)?
In short, fuck you and your puppet masters, you condescending bitch.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
