Re: Palin & the Librarian
 

I think you are missing the point here. Look at this quote from the paper:

"Palin might have become a household name in the last week, but Kilkenny, who is not a Palin fan, is on her own small path to Internet fame. She sent out an e-mail earlier this week to friends and family answering, from her perspective, the question Outsiders are asking any Alaskan they know: "Who is this Sarah Palin?"

Kilkenny's e-mail got bounced through cyberspace and ended up on news blogs. Now the small-town mom and housewife is scheduling interviews with national news media and got her name on the front page of The New York Times, even if it was misspelled."

Think a minute...what do you think Kilkenny's motive might be?

Re: Palin & the Librarian
 

Gracie,
What do you know of Palin's "far right religious leanings"? I don't know if she wants to impose sharia law. Now that would be far right. I have heard that she is against abortion and for premarital abstinence. I don't know if you consider these to be "far right" but they are tenets of the Catholic Church, despite what a lot of the cafeteria Catholics profess here. These beliefs are also held by a large number on mainline protestant religions as well as a large number of Jews. Radical, I think not. Any other fringe beliefs.

You regret that there is too much thinking that is not open minded, you say "here", but if I may, I'll address a wider spectrum. I believe one of the troubles with society is that there is too much open-mindedness, that people refuse to accept that some things are just wrong. We have become a society that is so concerned with inclusion
that we accept anything. We either refuse to or are incapable of making our own value judgments. We have adopted the philosophy that who am I to judge something or someone. They may have different values. That philosophy is :edit:. If something is wrong, it's wrong.

Re: Palin & the Librarian
 

Muncle.

You have again written a compelling argument. I am not "FOR" abortion but I do support legalized abortion. And although I think premarital abstinence is a good idea, a GREAT idea, I know that it is not a very realistic expectation in this day and age. My grandchildren have heard my talk about sex ad nauseum and I am forever saying that when you watch the Olympics and you see that huge stadium full of people, remember how they got here, and if you think you are heading for a sexual experience, use birth control. I think that you can't get enough sex education and unplanned pregnancies probably side track more lives than drugs.

I digress. You wouldn't like me. I am always digressing. My thinking on religion and morals is entirely different than when I was a child. But I do judge people. There are too many lazy people running around. Too many people that think they are entitled to every creature comfort and any big house and fancy appliance and then can't pay their bills. I judge people harshly that don't take dedicated good care of their family and don't take time out from their careers to raise their under five year olds.

I, like Boomer, should not type after midnight.

I need to get the hell out of this political forum. And stay out.

AND Muncle...I don't have a clue what Sharia law is.

I feel premenstrual. NOPE. That's not a possibility.

Re: Palin & the Librarian
 

Fair question Muncle. But the bigger question is what do we know about Sarah Palin at all? And now they are sequestering her from one on one interviews with the reporters that will ask her the really hard questions. That's just wrong. And it's a disservice to the American people.

Re: Palin & the Librarian
 

Question.
What do we know about Obama at all?. And now they are sequestering him from one on one interviews with the reporters that will ask the really hard questions. Thats just wrong. And it's a disservice to the american people.

Has any one seen the left wing liberal media ( a view required to be a journalist major nowdays ) asking about his time smoking pot and doing coke at Columbia??

It must be killing the libs that since Palins nomination she wiped Obama off the news. Who is he OOOiforgot. Benj

Re: Palin & the Librarian
 

Can you send us the article or let us know where this info is?

My guess is he tried it like very many others....is this any different than Bush?

Re: Palin & the Librarian
 

Benj, maybe I'm taking this too personally, but do you have a problem with me having a Journalism degree? What is your degree in?

Also, Senator is not hiding, he was on Fox (of all places) last Thursday evening with Bill O'Reilly.

I give him a lot of credit for venturing into enemy territory, while the McCain campaign continues to cancel interviews.

Re: Palin & the Librarian
 

Chels

My degree is a BBA.

My problem with any Journalism person ( not you personally ) is there is no fair and balanced left in journalism. You said yourself once I think you didn't care what the truth was.
I suppose you think the majority of news reporting is balanced?
Journalists I thought were supposed to report the facts and not be one sided. Just my opinion. Benj

Re: Palin & the Librarian
 

Benj, I never said that I don't care what the truth is. If you can point out where I said that I would appreciate it.

Re: Palin & the Librarian
 

Chels

I said i think. If I'm wrong I appologize. I will try to find what I was thinking of later, I have to go show houses this afternoon. Benj

Re: Palin & the Librarian
 

Chelsea you asked me to show where you said" whether it's true or not really doesn't matter to me"

Well here it is. Journalists should care what the truth is, Maybe even regular people should care. Benj

Re: Palin & the Librarian
 

By the way has anyone heard of that guy




O who?

GO SARAH GO!!!!

Re: Palin & the Librarian
 

It was Obama's charisma, intelligence, good looks and charm that blew most people's socks off. He was a fresh face to a lot of people. He spoke about change and new ideas, but much of his political platform is still to be disclosed.

Now there is a new kid in town, Gov Palin, with charisma, intelligence, good looks, charm and she is certainly a fresh face. We really don't know a lot yet about her political views either.

McCain and Biden have been around forever and we respect their maturity. But it's the new kids who are generating the buzz, and I applaud the fact that everyone is suddenly energized and listening.

The debates will be the first time we really have a clear picture of what all of the candidates bring to the table. I think we can all agree on one thing .. it's not going to be dull.

Re: Palin & the Librarian
 

If all you libs think it was so bad an idea to put palin on the ticket and McCain was so dumb, Has anyone seen the latest polls today??


I can only say.........OOOwhatshisname?

Re: Palin & the Librarian
 

Well, here's one lib who doesn't think Palin was all that bad of a choice for McCain. She is a maverick and, at this time, that is a good thing. It certainly counteracts some of Obama's charisma. However, Palin isn't running for President, McCain is and he still hasn't got my vote.
