Sarah Palin and the SuffragettesPosted on Aug 18, 2010
Hey, it’s the 90th anniversary of women’s suffrage! What better way to commemorate this important date than by drawing divisions between various camps within the sisterhood and inventing bizarre terminology for the occasion? Take it away, Sarah Palin.

Sarah Palin has power and influence only because the Boob-oisie (as Mencken tagged them) gives it to her.

“The debate on climate change needs to end immediately and we need to begin focusing on ways to build a healthier society instead. How can anyone be expected to believe that their actions cause damage to the planet when they have difficulty accepting that their actions have immediate effects on their own personal health and that of their children? No additional scientific evidence is necessary to prove that lack of exercise, poor eating habits and exposure to polluted environments cause obesity, cancer, depression and a host of other diseases, or that general lack of good education contributes systemically to the problem. Even when we do know better, we sometimes continue to repeat unhealthy behaviors because, as it happens, unhealthy options are often most convenient, habitual, and because our entire culture is bent towards perpetuating them. If we are unwilling to make the connection between our actions and our physical health, it is firstly because we have other seemingly more pressing concerns, and secondly because it wouldn’t do us any good if we don’t believe we can afford to make the necessary changes anyway.
This is the crux of the climate debate - many people do not believe that we as a society can afford to change. Right now far too much time is being wasted discussing the validity of scientific evidence that an abstract process called “global warming” is caused by human activity. Wouldn’t it be more straightforward to argue instead that pollution is caused by human activity, and that with an ever-increasing global population there is an urgent need to adopt better stewardship skills in order to successfully coexist? This is a tangible concept that requires no data or leap of faith - only gut instinct and observation.”

The charming thing about liberals is that, for all their faults, they have a sense of humor, as illustrated by this video. Thanks for it.

I used to think that Lucille Ball did women a great disservice by her antics seen on her various television spin offs of “I love Lucy”. Then sister Sarah arrived on the scene, along with Michelle Bachman, Sharon Angle and Sue Louden(the chicken lady for medical visits person).
Is it any wonder why Ann Coulter think that women are to stupid to vote with the above examples making all women look incompetent, idiotic and incapable of logical thought and reasoning. I am not certain this includes Ann since her/his transition to it’s current assigned gender as a female. Check out the Adam’s apple on Ann’s neck if you have any doubts as to original gender of that Republican talking head.
Sarah needs to go home and tend to her family, as her religious teaching that she wants to push onto other women tell her she should be doing, instead she is minding everyone elses business. Sarah is a poor example as a: person, mother, wife, daughter and politician. With women like Sarah who think they represent all women,instead she brings down the majority of women to her level of ignorance and stupidity in the eyes of the world.
BTW: It is time to limit the time people are allowed to run for political office. Six weeks to three months at the longest. This current 4+ year run for the presidency in 2012, when it finally does arrive is to damn long for everyone. The rest of the countries in the world can achieve this decision in that amount of time, why can’t America grow up and do the same thing? no wonder the rest of the world talks about us in the term of being a juvenile or childish.
