Palin, flapping her yap on O’Reilly, said that US Law should be based on th “God of the Bible and the Ten Commandments”
There is a whole bunch factually wrong with this prattle, I don’t think most regulars here need the errors and false assumptions pointed out to them, but Jesus, what the fuck? This is ostensibly not some party wingnut, but a former VP nominee for the GOP and someone who is still taken seriously as a 2012 contender. She is, ostensibly, a mainstream face for the party, a frontman. She is supposed to be representative.
Fuck John McCain for selecting this idiot without vetting her and giving her mainstream attention.
Is there anyone left here at all who is still willing to defend Sarah Palin as a legitimate political voice? Why is she treated like such an oracle by teabaggers?
Will she eventually marginalize herself out of 2012 contention even within the Republican base?
Funny how she spouts off about this. I’m guessing the whole sex before marriage, baby out of wedlock thing just wasn’t in the part of the Bible she read. She reminds me of the all the republican homo-phobes screaming about the evils of “the gay” while sucking the white snake in a mens bathroom.
I disdain her for all the reasons you mention and, adding to that, for giving Christianity a black eye on top of it. Like we need that kind of spokesperson.
My contempt for Sarah Palin is limited only by my refusal to commit murder, rape, and other such felonies. Nonetheless, I don’t think it’s fair to criticize her for something her daughter did.
skammer didn’t say he was talking about her daughter. I can’t speak for skammer, but, in point of fact, Palin herself also acquired her first pregnancy out of wedlock. Hers and Todd’s wedding had shotguns present.
I thought the thing with young…um…I don’t know her name, actually…was implied. I did not know about Palin’s wedding, as I try to stay uninformed about things like that.
“The clergy believe that any portion of power confided to me will be exerted in opposition to their schemes. And they believe rightly: for I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man. But this is all they have to fear from me: and enough, too, in their opinion.” Wild-eyed Crypto-Muslim Barack Hussein Obama, I’ll bet.
Because she presumes to lecture the world about religion when she has no fucking standing. She talks of morality. What right does she have? You can’t find a justification for a person to walk out of being a governor so she can make get rich while the time is hot. She is thinking of only herself every time she opens her mouth. Where does she get off to tell anybody about ethics and morality? If I created the impression I think she will sell anything and everything for money, then I am doing a good job.
I think she owed the people of Alaska the duties of governor. Even though she was a petty despot and twisted the office into something ugly and small, she still owed the voters her best. She walked out. That is inexcusable and unforgivable.
I often wonder if these people have EVER FUCKING READ THE TEN COMMANDMENTS!!!
I understand if their lips get too chapped when they read the entire Bible, but the ten commandments aren’t that long.
Taking the generally accepted order from one of the three places they appear:
Okay, so we exile all Hindus and other non Abrahamists and then set to work on the Council of Wasilla to determine if Muslims can be exiled. Or Jews for that matter- true, he gave the commandments to Jews, but their deity would hardly have gotten a virgin pregnant so it’s probably a different one which means they may have to sing Anatevka too.
The Council of Wasilla will also determine whether Catholics must leave due to this one.
Now hear this saying god and damn in proximity will get you jailed. Naming your baby ‘Jesus’ is up for consideration at the Council of Wasilla, but on the safe side we’re exporting all people of Spanish extraction since they’re the most likely offenders.
An interesting rarely quoted followup to that verse is
In the first place, there haven’t been one thousand generations since the 10 Commandments- maybe just a little over a tenth of that in fact since 1000 generations would be about 30,000 years. Wouldn’t that mean we’re all covered so long as we’ve had a devout Judeo-Christian ancestor since ca. 1200 BCE?
BUT- what if we’ve had many generations of devout Judeo-Christian ancestors BUT we’ve had a couple of idol worshipers in the past three and four generations as well?
I guess that’s something for the Council of Wasilla to figure out.
Note that no exception is made for emergency workers:
So if you’re going to have a heart attack, I suggest you do it before the weekend cause hospitals will be closed on Sunday (or, depending on the CoW’s ruling, twixt sundown Friday and Saturday).
Fair enough. Of course Bristol must have embarassed her mom and Levi already gave testimony that he heard them bicker, so I guess she’s to be stoned.
That’s a good one. I wonder why it isn’t in more law codes.
This one will really cut down on the overpopulation problem, though rocks will be selling for about $200 per pound when the stonings get through, and that’s just the senators.
Another “damn, wish I’d thought of that one, cause it’s good.”
Fair enough, I don’t know my neighbors anyway.
This one’s going to be hard to enforce, but I think the LAW & ORDER: COVET UNIT (thunk-thunk!) we’ll see some headway.
Goddamn but if some other deity would would help me steal the bank account I envy of Sarah Palin I would falsely accuse my parents of child molesting then bow down and worship them six days a week and twice on Sunday. (How many is that?)
