I mean you put it together....the 2+2?
Because it’s perfect :)

Head’s too big, and the skin tone doesn’t match.
Besides, her…
(What? Seventeen? Oh...)
nev-er-mind

I don’t understand. When someone I care for dies, that’s “an adversity” for HIM- the dies!

When someone I care for gets sick, that’s an adversity for HIM- he is sick!

When something bad happens to someone else’s health, there’s nothing I or anyone else can do about it. It doesn’t call for any action on my part. I can be sad, take them flowers, bear up or wallow in grief- but at bottom, my reaction doesn’t matter.

When I’m trying to get into the Naval Academy, I’m confronted by its difficult curriculum, the ship under me is on fire, I’m locked in prison, I’m crippled, I’m tortured and told I can stop it by merely asking, or I’m assigned to be a target for men who are trying to kill me, that’s MY adversity. I have to summon the resources, first, to put myself into places where those things can happen, and then I have to deal with them. I can succeed or fail, and my own character, strength, and weakness are revealed.

I’m sorry that Sen. Biden’s family suffered, but death is the lot of us all.  My own fortunate American grandparents, Queen Victoria when she presided over a quarter of the earth, or great swathes of people in the world today would be shocked at the idea that the death of a child was a particularly unusual event.  It was and is a part of the ordinary landscape.

His sons? I would EXPECT that a father would take care of his injured children, as we all would.  The law requires it! Pointing at that as some sort of accomplishment is silly and wrong.  It’s like saying,

“He had adversities. He had to pay taxes!” What choice did he have?

Having a brain aneurysm says absolutely nothing about the person having it.  There’s no choice involved, no decision to be made, no character revealed.  If you die, you die. If you survive, you survive. If there are aftereffects, you do your therapy if you want to be able to do things.

(Truth is, I expect that Sen. Biden would be the first to tell these women that the “adversities” were suffered by his wife and children, not by himself.)

The comparisons are just nonsense.

Barack Obama: another Nigerian scam.
I liiike it.

Harrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Lemonade SO hurts spewing out my nose.

Words need context.
Misapplying definitions is a common Marxist rhetorical ploy.

ColJ and I go back far enough to remember how the term was applied in a derisive, racist fashion. I haven’t heard it used that way in decades, though. It was overtaken by the left’s soft racism of Uncle Tom and actin’ white.

I hear you guys but Gary Gulrud hit the point of Michael’s message.  So, I get all y’all.

I listened to Michael this morning as he talked about his feelings.  I got a lump in my throat.

Hope, real hope is a great thing...not the hope-i-ness of Mobama.

mojo’s right.
Let’s see how badly Hillary wants to pay of her campaign debt.

I got rained out of skeet shooting this afternoon,
so I’ll try to push a bunch’a posts into the next page.

Razor...Bwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

CD,
...or Rocky?
(Hurrah, a whole new galaxy of cultural jokes now become possible.)

If I had a nickle…

BAAAWAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Missy,
No. I just Googled “moose sign” pictures, and there were a bunch’a official signs like that.

If any of us broke into a bank vault and stole $1 million , even with no violence, and the $1 million were recovered by the cops from our mattress, there’s no way any of us would get off with just 4 months in jail. We would get 5 years or more.  Where’s the justice?

Kwame, how I love you, how I love you, my dear old Kwame.
I’d give the world, to, be, among the folks in Washington DC-Even know my,
Barry’s, waiting for me, praying for me, down in DC.
The folks up north will see me no more, when they slam the jailhouse door.

Tag: Swanee, Swanee, I am coming back to Swanee.
Mammy, Mammy, I love the old folks at home.

I love the line, “Dispatching Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to Florida on Monday”!
So after telling her to ‘fuggeddiboutit” as his VP, all of a sudden he gets to ‘dispatch’ her Florida to be a good little girl
& tell Floridians what a wonderful candidate he is!  Yeah, right!!  Is he uppity of what???

Colonel Jerry is correct....like we didn’t already know.  My Southern Grandmother used it constantly with “Nigra.”

“Uppity, yeah.” Hahahahahahahahahaha!  We aren’t the only ones who’ve had enough!

Let’s see....how far has Mobama set back race relations?  I’m still guessing 50 years.

”I also thought that this idea of America first coming from her was kind of strange because she was one of the people who wanted to succeed from the United States.”

Twit. She was never a member of the Alaskan Independent Party or whatever it was called.

Hilly: “Yeah? SHOW ME THE FUCKIN’ MONEY!”

So does that mean McCain is now Mr. Green Jeans?

That wasn’t plagiarism!  Biden merely retroactively named the fellow his speechwriter.

</sarcasm>

I have to admit I’m a little leery of the populist part—it’s been my obervation that populism usually winds up undermining the things that libertarians believe in (case in point: George Wallace).  But we’ll see how it works out.  A lot of people, me included, thought that fusion conservatism died with Buckley.  I’d be happy for Palin to prove me wrong.
