I hit back at a Fundie email about Palin
My daughter's mother-in-law is a freeper of the lowest order - she spouts all kinds of nonsense about love of country, god, etc but it is just code words for me, me, me and the hell with the rest of the world. She is constantly sending me stuff and I delete or else reply with a report from Snopes to everyone she send this garbage. She finally wised up and quit letting me reply to everyone but it hasn't stopped the Faux News BS on an almost daily basis. Her HUSBAND served in the Navy so that makes her qualified on all things national, international and heck, probably intergalactic.

I thinking (hoping, wishing, praying) this is the final straw and she'll delete my email addy from her "let's spread the bull shit" file.

Here is what she sent this morning -

Subject: Who am I

Subject: Who am I

Who Am I?

I am under 45 years old,
I love the outdoors,
I hunt,
I am a Republican reformer,
I have taken on the Republican Party establishment,
I have many children,
I have a spot on the national ticket as vice president with less than two years in the governor's office.

Did you guess?












I am Teddy Roosevelt in 1900

My reply -

That certainly doesn't make her Teddy Roosevelt!

She is corrupt, mean, vengeful and dumber than a post - nothing like Teddy Roosevelt. Roosevelt was a strong conservationist and for the environment - Palin likes to slaughter animals from a helicopter for fun and sport. She ignores and refuses to even discuss the concept of global warming.

Republican reformer - not! It is business as usual for Gov. Palin - say one thing, do another and then lie her ass off about it to the sheeple. She has taken dumbing down to new lows.

Palin took office is Wallisa with zero debt and left it $20 million dollars in debt. She doesn't understand even the rudimentary workings of an economy and a balanced budget. And she is the Welfare Queen of earmarks (requesting over $435 million THIS YEAR ALONE!) despite lying over and over she said no to the "Bridge to Nowhere" even though she was all for the project until it became a national joke punch line. So she kept the money and decided to lie. Heck, she supports indicted Ted Stevens - wow. Just wow.

She has used her political power to try and destroy people who have the audacity to disagree with her - ask the town librarian, the officer in charge of Public Safety, ask her ex-brother-in-law. She has been in state office just two years and she has at least two ethics charges now being investigated (and she refuses to cooperate, gee, I guess she is ready for Washington!).

She has filled state positions with high school friends, neighbors, buddies (sound like another "Good job, Brownie" to you?) no matter their experience or qualifications. She surrounds herself with sycophants and toadies who just agree with her and never tells her no. (Another Bush?)

She attends a church that speaks in tongues, is very anti-Catholic and thinks dinosaurs walked the earth 6.000 years ago with man.

She thinks seeing another country from her house and a fuel stop in Ireland constitutes foreign policy experience. She even had the nerve to lie about her trip to the Middle East - she did not travel to some of the places she swore she did visiting the Alaska National Guard.

She doesn't understand even the basics of the policies that have governed our country for the last eight years. She does not know about the Bush Doctrine, Sarbanes-Oxley, heck, even the Davis-Bacon Act would probably stump her.

She looks pretty, has great hair and has a nasty snarl like McCain's down pat but she isn't qualified to run for dog catcher much less any other office. Alaskans are renown for their poor choices in elected officials and this one is a classic example.

4. Thanks, of course you may use it. This woman is such a hypocrite
about god in the Pledge of Alliance. flag pins, churches (from one who hasn't darken the door of a church in 20+ years), etc. She is such a "moran" it is hard to even give her the time of day to try and straighten her out. She adores her ignorance, her hypocrisy and the GOP. Nasty lady with a lot more problems than just her wacky political views.

3. TR would be embarrassed & disgraced by today's Republican Party.
ESPECIALLY by the faction represented by Palin. And rightly so.

6. Of Course I Guessed
Because it really doesn't sound a lot like Palin. She is no reformer and hasn't really taken on the establishment.

8. This is a very good one you could use in reply to that or any of the others going around...
I like your response a lot, but the more the merrier. I got it just this morning from a friend and promptly passed it along. It was my morning laugh. :hi:

Note that Obama's state senatorial district has more people in it that all of Alaska!

Hekate

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm a little confused about the candidates...."


I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight...

If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're "exotic,
different."
If you grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, you’re the quintessential
American story.

If your name is “Barack” you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

Name your kids “Willow”, “Trig” and “Track”, you're a maverick.

Graduate from Harvard Law School, and you are unstable.

Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well
grounded.

If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the
first black president of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter
registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as
a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator
representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of
the State Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years
in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people
while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs,
Environment, and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you
don't have any real leadership experience.

If your total resume is: beauty pageant runner-up, local sportscaster,
4 years on the city council, 6 years as the mayor of a town with less
than 7,000 people, and 20 months as the governor of a state with only
650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second
highest ranking executive.

If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising
two beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a
real Christian.

If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your
first wife after she was disfigured in a car accident to marry the rich
heiress, then you're a Christian.

If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the
proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.

But if, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no
other option for sex education in your state's school system, and your
unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.

If your wife is a Harvard-graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a
prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner-city
community, and then gave that up to raise a family, your family's
values don't represent America's values.

If you're husband is nicknamed "First Dude," has a DWI conviction and
no college education, and was once a member of a group that advocates
the secession of Alaska from the United20States, your family is
extremely admirable.

OK, much clearer now.

10. My favorite line with the religious folks....

All those "Country First" signs at the Republican convention... were those signs being held up by Christians?

11. While that was a good reply, for the sake of your blood pressure,
have you considered asking her to let you off of the chain gang or barring that, blocking her emails?

For your emailing above and beyond the call of duty, I hereby award you, a Spammie!



For it is almost certain that the sheeple will accuse you of spamming them with truth and facts.

17. Anybody getting this also point out Teddy Roosevelt was a LIBERAL
who was among other things in favor of REGULATING BIG BUSINESSES, and UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE. He was in favor of a PROGRESSIVE PLATFORM for the Republican Party. He would have nothing to do with today's neocons and the hell they have created. Besides that he was a war hero and Asst. Secretary of the Navy in addition to being Gov of NEW YORK. You cannot compare them!

20. Teddy Roosevelt angrily refused to shoot a tethered bear
Edited on Thu Sep-18-08 03:10 AM by Mister Ed
Sarah Palin advocates chasing critters with airplanes until they're immobilized from exhaustion, then shooting 'em.

Talk about yer unsportsmanlike conduct...

24. And Roosevelt quit the rethuglican party!
The United States Progressive Party of 1912 was a political party created by a split in the Republican Party in the presidential election of 1912. It was formed by Theodore Roosevelt when he lost the Republican nomination to William Howard Taft and pulled his delegates out of the convention.
