Fairweather

Whoa, let's not get too hasty here. Like the book banning incident, I'm pretty sure all those statements she's made in the past were purely rhetorical in nature. Poorole - looks like you are--once again--a victim of that DNC Kool Aid: http://www.snopes.com/politics/palin/bannedbooks.asp I'm sorry Fairweather, but if you read Prole's statement, it's clear that he understands the facts, that the request has been termed "rhetorical". What do you think would have happened if the Wasilla Librarian had told Palin, "sure, we can do that, we just pull them off the shelves and throw them away"? Librarians have a long standing devotion to academic freedom, so Palin's exploration of how to go about removing books met with resistance and refusal. The quotes in your Snopes citation do not reflect an innocent "what is your policy" type query but are geared towards an exploration of how to take action. The actual question, "What would be your response if I asked you to remove some books from the collection" could be construed as either a test of subservient obedience or a trial balloon for a future request, but it sure didn't sound like a request for clarification on existing library policy regarding patron complaints about items in the collection. If Barack Obama asked Dick Cheney "what would be your response if I asked you to remove Jews from the executive branch of government" would you be content with the disclaimer that it was merely rhetorical in nature, "simply a policy discussion with a department head about understanding and following administration agendas"? (the latter quote is attributed to Mayor Palin as an attempt to diffuse the furor over her censorship question in your Snopes citation) That's what I mean about not needing to inflate or stretch Palin's flaws, what she has in fact done and said is quite creepy enough and doesn't need crafty lies like the ones your side is putting forth about Barack Obama being a secret muslim, a vehement racist, or the anti-christ come as prophesied. I'm quite content to leave that sort of blatant lying crap to the spiritual offspring of Lee Atwater (who mentored Karl Rove, who trained McCain's handler Steve Schmidt) who made it standard Republican operating procedure. Yes, there are some slimy untrue exaggerations and outright slander circulating about Sarah Palin, but I think it pales in comparison to the things done to this years Republican nominee by his own party back in 2000. Remember all that stuff about McCain and his illegitimate black child that was trotted out in the South Carolina primary? Lies, all lies, but now some of the same folks are trying to work their magic for him, and I don't hear him issuing any refutation of the evil bullshit that's shoring up his corrupt "straight talk express". Here's a link to an article about that primary. C'mon, Off. You're not still mad about the misogyny comment are you?

There is always plan-B:

Hmmm, let's see: I just finished Linden Hills by Gloria Naylor; and did a reread of The Monkey Wrench Gang. When is the last time you looked outside your box? A thought provoking reading list to be sure...if you've been in a coma the past 20 years, perhaps. FW uses less than a handful of stone simple rhetorical devices over, and over, and over. His favorite is FIND THE CHINK, for which he conveniently provides what liberals believe so we don't have to. One you'll never hear from this chickenshit is THIS IS MY THESIS. Why is Palin or McCain good for the country, exactly? He just doesn't have the neural power, balls, or both to come up with a defensible argument, so all you'll here is the kind of standard liberal carping that Rush Limbaugh capitalized on so well over the past 20 years. His driving emotional need? Prove the liberals wrong!!!! for which he provides a 3 year old's understanding of liberal thought so he is guaranteed victory in his own mind. But FW's history of 'being right' is something completely different. If one had all four limbs removed and had nothing else to do, one could simply track his predictions regarding, say, the Iraq war and quickly realize that this self styled 'free thinker' is nothing more than an tinny amplifier with a blown out speaker for the GOP propoganda. If he ever had an original idea pop out of his barely functioning brainstem, it never made it to this forum. Absolutely scathing. I suppose if you were better read you might even put together a rebuke worthy of your 10th grade Catholic education. Sister Catherine must have left deep scars--so traumatic you eventually found yourself placed in that small minority of St. John's Prep kids designated early on as not college-bound. Is this why you developed eating problems? Is she partly responsible for your Asperger's? Pssst: I tried to help you out with the spelling (again). I didn't bother with the structure/syntax--which was just awful. Note the bold print, make the necessary corrections, then turn it back in. I'll give you half-credit. Fatass.

You're a dumbass. Try and keep up, I'll do it slow: The. last. paragraph. only. refutes. the. claim. that. there. was. a. list. not. that. she. asked. about. how. to. get. books. banned. You're an uneducated punk who will believe anything that fits his worldview. Maybe Palin can help Bellingham secede from the union? ECOTOPIA!!! Shhhhh.

I don't really need to waste my time with one-semester dropout morons like you and TTK. Obama will not be elected and you'll have only the hysterical rants of like-minded tools to blame.

When the very thesis of a story debunked, it is usually safe to assume the entire piece is, likewise, garbage.

You don't know me, tool.

Apparently you did hot read the last paragraph. (Snopes won't copy/paste) It lays proof to the entirety of this lie. Try again.

Care to retract your lie?

Yes, we should kill all those who are inconvenient or flawed. Otherwise, it's indicative of "bad judgement". You'd make a fine Aryan. Do you think Prole and TTK would gas them? Or just toss 'em in a dumpster?

I don't want my tax dollars paying for your art. And, unlike you, I actually pay taxes.

Not really your business, is it? Ahhh, the hypocrisy of our resident feminist. Please run with this one! It's a real winner for your guy! Yeah, The Incubator's judgement, which is poor, is our business, and the birth defect statement is medically right on the money. As for any statement being a 'winner for our guy', I hardly think this forum, read by about 10 people total who've already got their politics hardwired in, makes that anything other than a moron's rant. Your girlfriend is just plain dumb.

Pope and I rode mountain bikes up to Round Pass and then down to the old Klapatche trail head this past Saturday, then hiked up to St Andrews Lake and beyond toward Tokaloo Spire only to be fogged in for two hours--unable to locate the objective sans GPS. Some work is currently being done at the Fish Creek parking area, but the road took a big hit this past November just beyond with almost a mile completely obliterated. Beyond this, the road is in good shape and makes for a great bike adventure. I was surprised to see two NPS quads parked at Round Pass/Lake George Trail head. Seems to me that the MRNP brass ought to practice what they preach? The park has done well to maintain the access trail to the junction with The Wonderland and it looks like they're getting ready to put a new roof on the old ranger cabin at the trail head. Maybe the quads are assisting with the movement of supplies? My harping about access to the west side of the park these past 18 years since the closure of the road is now a bit more tempered. While there are some outstanding opportunities for family adventure here, it was really nice to find a moderate degree of solitude--and the bike ride to the Klapatche Trail head takes less than two hours. Where I was once sure, I am now conflicted.

can you do anything other than bitch? You mean like this?

...except that I posted this before all the flying feathers concerning your last vital thread. But you knew that. Slurp, slurp.

Don't pester TTK and the angry left with facts. They don't like that.

:lmao:"Something Positive I Did" by Trashtar. You're such a pathetic suck up.

You're about as vile as it gets. And a DNC activist too. Can't imagine why anyone would vote Republican. what do you expect from a hate-filled person with no purpose in life? We know his real name. How 'bout we link his bile here to an email and send it to the state D-party HQ? Might cost him that (fantasy-only) delegate job he likes to brag about.

I've actually come to agree with you that marijuana should be decriminalized, if not outright legalized. But I would draw a hard line there. How ironic that the same libtards who force me to wear a seatbelt and a bicycle helmet, have banned trans-fats in restaurants, turned smokers into public enemy number one, and complain about inadequate healthcare get all weak-in the-knees about regulating some of the most physiologically and socially destructive substances humans can ingest.
