VP pick of Palin.. what does it mean?

She is a risky pick; I would not want her in the Whire House if John kicks it; which he might. I think both parties are full of hot air with an edge to the republiucans who have very poor policy which is expertly marketed (with a heather dose of fear thrown in). I don’t like taxes any more than the next guy but if Washington keeps spending money they don’t have (much of that spending is self dealing in various forms) than how do we get out of debt, buy lowering taxes? We are headed in the same direction as the once great United Kingdom who now can afford only a small military and is far from a super power.

Oh yes Palin is a MILF.

PS. Please excuse my irreverence.

 

Id like to get her some undies that say
"Drill here, drill now"

 

Come on in Bubba, I've got a pizza and some old National Geographics...you know the ones from the 70's with the pictures of...well, YOU KNOW...
(Better than Oil threads any day! Oh, and I am doing an oil change on the Briggs & Stratton lawn mower engine tomorrow...using synthetic 10w30.)

 

What he said.

I can hardly believe any of the kindhearted, well educated, urbane sophisticates that frequent our VFR World would have anything but praise for other motorcycle marques

 

Ok Squirrel,

Based upon some of your previous posts I know you are well read person or at least a decently read person who tries to think with some logic and reason.

With this in mind why on earth would you say something like the above? There is no logic and reason behind your statement.

Squirrel, your statement is nothing more than reactionary and serves no purpose other than to sound like an angry liberal on NPR.

My wife, who is the liberal of liberals, doesn't say crap like this. I asked her her opinion and she said it best: "Teen pregnancy happens to anybody, from believers to non-believers" It has nothing to do with Palin as a parent, per se.

I truly wish we could move beyong BS statement like this squirrelman and really start debating the heart of the matter.

hypocrite: "a person who puts on a false apperance of virtue or religion".

Palin may be totally sincere, thus it may be her daughter who is the hypocrite. We'd have to interview her to know.

Hypocrisy is not transferable, it is based on a particular persons actions.

I close with this quote by H.L. Mencken

"The average man does not get pleasure out of an idea because he thinks its true; he thinks its true because he gets pleasure out of it"

Nungboy, go get Bubba and bring him back to us before he gets sucked in completely.

 

I'm with ya Nung and man talk about timing.

My powerwasher needs an oil change too!

Its a Briggs & Strat., and I use Castrol full syn 10W-30!

The Buddist and the Christian hanging out, reading on some old NG's letting the oil drain showing the world two people with different world views can hang out and chat without doing "idiocy with commitment"!

Too bad your on the West Coast brother.

BZ

 

Bubba, I like the cut of your jib!

(It is clear you ain't ascared of readin' and writin'!)

 

Thanks Nung.

I'm just a man looking for logic and reason in a great Country that has lost it. Who knows, maybe we never had it to begin with...

On a side note, who's Robert Fripp?

I figure this is a good time for a thread hijack:smile:

Also, if you want to read a book that will put the zap on ya, check out "The Arrogance of Humanism" by David Ehrenfeld. He's a professor at Rutgers. Smokin book.

BZ

 

BZ does that book have a lot of big words in it, what about pictures. i like to keep my big word count somewhere around 4-5 letters...

DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW!!!!! :unsure:

 

Bubba,
This country had a good amount of logic at its core but there has been alot of reaction and fear for a long time. People stopped reading and started believing the 2 minutes stories on the idiot box. We have handed away our power. If we would start keeping open minds, digging into issues (seeing them as the complex things they are) and VOTE we would regain our power (and our place in the world).
Oh, Robert Fripp is an English guitarist and founding member of King Crimson (been around since 1968). He is not your average rock star. He is a thinking man's musician. not a soap boxer like many but a real brain who writes very well.
And thanks for the Ehrenfeld tip!
Rock on!

 

Another book you may like, Eric Hoffer "The True Believer".

I'm thinking by the way you write, you may already know this one though.

 

No, Bubba, that is a new one for me. I wrote both down and will visit Amazon to check them out. Thanks for the heads-up. Now if I could only read and motorcycle at the same time!

"The only mistake is the failure to learn from one."
--Robert Fripp

 

The Hoffer book maybe out of print, it was written long ago , on the nature of mass movements. Google him , interesting fellow

 

Wow, a fascinating life. I like his self-taught approach and he was clearly an individual thinker, especially bucking the Freudian bandwagon that everyone of his generation was on. My guess is the book is available because he seems to have been quite well-known. (From his upbringing, he sounds like the George Gershwin of Sociology...a true American original thinker that felt separate from the country he seemed to love despite being alienated from it...)

 

lol!

Bad news fatso, there are a few big words and reading comprhension is a must.

BZ

 

"two minute stories on the idiot box"

well put Nung.

I looked up Fripp and now the quote makes so much more sense. When I first read it, I was like what philosopher puts shit backwards?

But a musician like Fripp it makes sense. I see he worked with David Bowie on his "Heros" album. 70's was Bowie's best.

Nope Bear, Mr. Hoffer is completely new to me.

What I researched I am excited. I enjoy people who are self-taught. One of my favorite Christian writers, A.W. Tozer, was self-taught and even though his writing is simple in structure. The points and angles he takes on Biblical themes just blows the mind.

I am very excited to read Hoffer's thoughts on 60's youth culture. What I could find was pretty impressive so far, so my plan is to finish what I have right now some Francis Shaffer and R. Albert Mohler Jr. A couple super deep Christian thelogians. I know that "super-deep Christian" sounds like an oxymoron, but they're out their. Hard to see though when you have Sean Hannady and Pat Robertson on the television.

When I finish those books, I'll be scanning Mr. Hoffer. So thanks Bear! I'll be reading his book this winter

Which leads me to a question for Nung, what Buddist stuff you read? I've read on what the 14th Lama has to say and a monk named Tech Nah Hahn (Hope I spelled it right). Had some interesting things to point out, especially about our dumbass culture.
