Sarah Palin
Here's why in almost every one of my speeches or interviews I use the term "Orwellian:

As I sit the bleachers today at middle school sports tournaments, I look out at our future and confirm the necessity to get America back on the right road, soon, before it's too late. Please explain this article to your children, as many have been, unfortunately, shielded from reading the staples Nineteen Eight-Four and Animal Farm in school. Then encourage them by your actions to be engaged and NOT LET IT HAPPEN.

Go ahead and try to read Ms. Palin's gibberish out loud and not feel your brain trying to crawl out of your
skull.

(111,329 posts)It explains most of her life as well as her boundless enthusiasm and self confidence. It also explains her nutty speech patterns when she strays off script, demonstrating flight of ideas and considerable word salad.

She'll never seek treatment because she thinks she's a howling success instead of a barking nutcase.
Botany
(70,567 posts)..... I like, her, random use of, commas, because she just, puts, them, almost anyplace,
in her sentences,.
BTW I think what we are seeing here is Ms. Palin no longer using her ghost writer and
so we get to see her real writing.
BTW part 2 .... try to read her posting out loud.
Warpy
(111,329 posts)that comes out of that woman's addled brain. I can hear a fizz and a pop as my poor neurons confront her twaddle and decide life just isn't worth living any more.

(14,912 posts)Piper Super Cub, as well as on those long snowmobile races, with the 700 extra miles to Fairbanks added on to it. Those commercial Salmon fishing gigs could provide another good cover to make drops for later pickups. I'm not saying any of this is true, mind you, just a theory in my head.
Have you ever just looked at someone and didn't like them for some reason? That's how I felt about Todd the first time I saw him. I thought he looked like a meth dealer, and he looked strung out a few times when the family appeared on TV.
Peace,

(7,143 posts)the Tea Party started as a bunch of Paulite Looneytarians upset with Bush because he was impure by their juvenile, ahistorical, selfish, whacked-out standards.
Otherwise, you're right. We are seeing that here.

(38,506 posts)Both books are recommended in many schools. They were when I was a kid, and as I've heard, they still are today. I don't think Pres. Obama has kept anybody from reading anything.
And Palin is the one who doesn't read, for pity's sake!

(12,530 posts)Jesus, I hate it when people are too cowardly to say what they obviously mean. You're trying to say that the liberals on this site, the people not always pleased with the President's rightward forays, are similar to Sarah Palin. But you don't posess the character or the gumption to say what you actually mean. And there's a 90% chance you'll play dumb in reply to this post and act as though you don't know what I'm talking about. You're also closer on the political spectrum to Sarah Palin than I'll ever be, so you can go chew on that for awhile.

(21,115 posts)but he was further left than Bill Clinton, so I looked upon that as progress...some expected far too much. (by the way...at that time...before the primary....I supported Hillary Clinton specifically, because she was more liberal than Obama...). Some here seem to be surprised by this President. I haven't been. I don't understand why people don't see getting even a Moderate Liberal in office (particularly a Black man) was a feat in itself. The thing is....you ARE NOT going to get this country to suddenly LURCH to the Left. It's like a big ol Cruise ship and it takes "40 acres to turn this rig around"....Next step....get a Democratic Congress while holding on to the Senate. THEN you put in someone a little more left of Obama. I am a realist....change takes time.

(24,544 posts)what was the point of your idiotic little post demanding that I "explain myself" as if you are in a position to request one damn thing from me or anyone else here? What's got your knickers all twisted today since it always seems to be something?
You're also closer on the political spectrum to Sarah Palin than I'll ever be, so you can go chew on that for awhile.
I have never in my life seen people JUMP UP to pretend that they have been insulted just so they can use that as an excuse to insult other people. Your 3rd grade insults and 1st grade political perspective don't mean a thing to me so you could have kept that to yourself. I can't believe that you honestly think that I give one crap what you think, feel or have to say about anything so this pointless little show must be for your little friends.

(32,047 posts)I read it in 2006 when I was in 10th grade. And does Palin not understand that Orwell was a REAL socialist? Sheesh. Such inconvenient facts conservatives LOVE to ignore:
- "America the Beautiful" was written by a Massachusetts lesbian;
- "The Star-Spangled Banner" was written by a socialist;
- "1984" was written by a socialist!

(32,139 posts)It would be nice if we could unite as citizens against mass government surveillance of citizens; brutal suppression of protest; secret laws and courts; "kill lists" and state murders utterly without due process; rampant propaganda; criminalization of investigative journalism; persecution of journalists and whistleblowers; subversion of our government for corporate use; and undeclared, rampant warmongering.
Instead, we are deliberately fed this sort of orchestrated partisan flamebait to get us to divide up into our Blue and Red teams and minimize the ongoing *bipartisan* murder of our democratic, representational government.
Kurovski
(34,655 posts)except that all of those horrible things will become good again when a repub gets in.
Just like they're magically marvelous when Obama got in.
But maybe not for the kids of Republicans and the kids of Democrats.
