Gary, I’m crying I’m laughing so hard.  Great Post!!!

“Oh please,please, if there is a god upon the rocky crags of Olympus or whatever freaking mountain they hang out on, please let Levi and Kathy get married.
I can just see the camera crews as they descend upon the palin compound with step mother Kathy in the lead accompanied by he entourage of “her gays”. They sweep into the house and do a two hour critique of the furnishings while one of them hits on grandpa.
Kathy brings her quietly drunk catholic mother with her and she tries to engage Sarah in a discussion of why Bill O’riley is so damn hot. A few glasses of wine later, Kathy’s mom goes into a rant; “Jesus Christ on a cracker Kathleen did you have to bring the baby a god damned bone shaped chew toy? Jesus Christ and all the saints god damn it to hell, am I right Sarah, for Christ sake”
I will pay money to see this!
please, lord Shiva,Jehovah, Jesus, Moses, john Wayne or Ronald Reagan, please let them get married. ”

First you need lemons if you are going to make lemonade…

Ardee, thanks for your brilliant post regarding race as a sociological construct; well done!

GHwaaarsh, is my face red. I will accept with thanks your praise but would remind you of the adage about a roomful of chimps with typewriters…..I am far from the brightest bulb in this or any chandelier….

Ardee, thanks for your brilliant post regarding race as a sociological construct; well done!

As for RootJensen’s comments regarding eugenics, I’d suggest there is a built-in bias in culture that rewards the compliant with the economic and social resources to breed, while the noncompliant do so by stealth or accident. It’s more fun that way, or so I’ve heard; but I’m not into that aspect of sexuality.

And to be fair, while I initially believed Root to be as much fun as a barrel full of Nazis, in balance he simply carries some baggage like many of us. I’ve also been attacked for being racist for making anti-Israeli comments, and I’m not anti-semitic; seems we need to allow honest disagreement with Israeli and its political connections to our own government, without name calling. It is possible to oppose Israeli’s operation of a concentration camp a.k.a. Gaza.

For the historical record, if any people have encountered a more terrible experience than the Jews in 20th C. Germany, please let me know. I am aware of the exterminations of Albanians and Native Americans; the famines faced by the Irish, Ethiopians; the slaughter of Phillipinos; the gulags of Stalinist Russia. Certainly more than enough misery caused by intolerance, to go around many a karmic cycle.

Let’s become better people.

Words have power and their use is important if one wishes to convey a position or a message.

When you criticize, if indeed you do, the policies of your own govt. do you use the phrase,“those damn Anglicans”? When you chastise the USA, if indeed you do, for its hateful and hurtful selfishness around the world, do you say,“those damn Presbyterians”?

We find far too much prejudice substituting as politics in this world today. I suggest that, when you criticize the policies of Israel, if indeed you do,you refrain from making it an issue of religion. Is is not.

Ardee, I enjoyed reading your comment. Honestly it’s not about race in the end (it’s not a sport so is race the correct term?), unfortuantely certain groups seem to want to differentiate themselves from everyone else.
I cannot take high ground here (i’m a typical grumpy englishman lol).
Generally I find some form of crass divine right tends to divide us.

You cannot attempt to shine your halo with me, if you were truly a race of goodly people you would not be so vile in your actions, are you even originally semitic?

from wiki:

The term race or racial group usually refers to the categorization of humans into populations or groups on the basis of various sets of heritable characteristics.[1] The most widely used human racial categories are based on salient visual traits (especially skin color, cranial or facial features and hair texture), and self-identification.[1][2]

Conceptions of race, as well as specific ways of grouping races, vary by culture and over time, and are often controversial for scientific as well as social and political reasons. The controversy ultimately revolves around whether or not the concept of race is biologically warranted;[3][4] the ways in which political correctness might fuel either the affirmation or the denial of race;[3][4] and the degree to which perceived differences in ability and achievement, categorized on the basis of race, are a product of inherited (i.e., genetic) traits or environmental, social and cultural factors.

Some argue that although race is a valid taxonomic concept in other species, it cannot be applied to humans.[5] Many scientists have argued that race definitions are imprecise, arbitrary, derived from custom, have many exceptions, have many gradations, and that the numbers of races delineated vary according to the culture making the racial distinctions; thus they reject the notion that any definition of race pertaining to humans can have taxonomic rigour and validity.[6] Today many scientists study human genotypic and phenotypic variation using concepts such as “population” and “clinal gradation”. Many contend that while racial categorizations may be marked by phenotypic or genotypic traits, the idea of race itself, and actual divisions of persons into races or racial groups, are social constructs.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] However, the concept of race may be useful in forensic anthropology. According to forensic anthropologist George W. Gill, “race denial” not only contradicts biological evidence, but may stem from “politically mo….

Those who envision the Jew as a distinct race betray a certain failure of logic and usually give off a certain stench as well.

“Remember, twenty goes into sixty more times than sixty goes into twenty.”

ROTFLMFAO

Inherit the Wind.
You obviously have the biggest set of blinkers over your eyes to your own people.
I can only think you are one of those who has this idea that people like myself are outright racists, rather like a certain black group from my area that openly hate asians yet jump down the throat of the nearest white man when it’s convenient.
Jews are so paranoid because they know they are playing with fire, I bet you are one who insists that no one else through history has been affected so much as the jewish people.

Why this support for a kid who fathered a child as a teen and then walked away from the responsibility of parenting?

I am reminded of a line Mae West uttered when admonished regarding dating a twenty something when she was in her sixties.

“Jewish Eugenics”? Where do you get this racist crap?

Is it “Catholic Eugenics” when the Church tells Catholics to only marry other Catholics?

Is it “Anglican Eugenics” when your very own COE (Church of England) tells Anglicans to only marry other Anglicans?

Is it “Chinese Eugenics” when Chinese are encouraged to marry other Chinese?

But somehow, it’s not “Sudanese Eugenics” when Bashir orders his surrogate guerrilla fighters to slaughter all the men in Darfur villages and then rape all the women so they produce half-Arab babies.

And people wonder why Jews are paranoid…..

Honestly I don’t know the following she has, I’m English and obviously see more of my own countries antics than America’s.
If your saying that her following is really not worth being a part of humanity and losing them makes the world a better place, well I don’t think any of us could argue if such people were eventually bred out of humanity.
Eugenics is such an interesting idea when you take away human desire and self, like the Jewish notion of Eugenics is blankly racist rather like a WW2 nazi or Palins idea of future humankind. We could be such a great species if we got rid of left and right extremes., people like Bush, Blair etc

Not much to do in Alaska in the winter, that long long winter in Alaska.  In a bleak time and place like that, nobody can blame Levi for going a little nuts and having a relationship with a Palin. 

I can imagine that it is marginally better than sitting alone in the dark, but not much. 

An acceptable alternative to sharing a bed with a Palin, could have been as simple as just crawling inside a freshly killed moose carcass, but that would be dangerous because you run the risk of being shot from a helicopter, by “those who eat”.

“Who cares, are either off them going to help change the world. Very likely not, but if he helps to make a bitch like Palin look worse then good”

Isn’t making Sarah Palin look ‘worse’ helping to ‘change the world?’ 

I mean, look at the following she has?

I kinda like Levi. He seems too honest to fit in with the Palin camp, so that helps him immeasurably.

I’m glad he’s getting a little taste of fame after having been paraded around by Palin’s VP campaign.

If he can have some fun and make a buck in the process, more power to him!

If he can parley all this notoriety into something, more power to him. It beats cleaning fish for a living.

Who cares, are either off them going to help change the world. Very likely not, but if he helps to make a bitch like Palin look worse then good

I like him.  I hope he makes it..

Given the actions that Sarah Palin has taken against her enemies, I think this kid has been rather clever and parlaying his way to prominence, and with it, a certain immunity from the Palins.

The more public he is, the harder it is for Palin to destroy him, like she did her ex-brother-in-law, because it becomes obvious what she is doing.

The kid is easily smarter than Joe the Plumber at a minimum, and is clearly growing up fast—which he needed to do.  Of course, he has no demonstrated useful talent that I’m aware of, but, neither does his baby’s other grandmother, Sarah Palin.

If I were to never again hear the names Sarah Palin or Levi Johnston that would be just fine.

Why on earth post something like this on a web site supposedly dedicated to political debate?

If Kathy, and Levi got married, then that would make her the step mom to Sarah’s grandchild.

Can you picture that?

I love this in more ways than I can count. But did anybody notice that we’re getting mired down in Afghanistan worse than Iraq or Vietnam? Guess that’s the whole point of the story…....

TV, radio, and blogs, will it ever get back to a point where any of them can go two weeks without mentioning Silly Sarah?
