I will, however, concur that somebody is lying, Musing. That is for certain.

But that is your business. It is sort of dismally funny, but sort of pathetic as well, especially as children are dying as we write – thanks to the policies of your candidate – and you.

Speaking of patterns.

your continued unsupported posts lieing about Obama is now pretty well established.

We went through you attempt to “prove” that Obama approves of killing babies after birth for example, and your “proof” fell apart on your partisan assumptions which could not be supported factually.

We have seen a similar behavior surrounding the meaning of marxist.

There is a pattern here, and it I suggest that it sriously impedes the credibility of your posts.

If you could provide some facts and use rigorous logic we can actually establish some of what you are arguing. You push too far with what would appear to be partisan bias and you falsify and discredit your whole argument.

As an example, I actually was working with you on Jeremiah Wright to establish a viable and supportable position: you chose again to out run your facts and logic and your argument became hash.

I DO know what’s in it. And according to Obama, it is voluntary. I never did put much stock in Eugene Volokh and still don’t.

The idea that youth should be encouraged to spend some time in a service position to their country is not a new one. A lot of people over many decades have suggested that there should be some sort of youth service — and many have suggested it should be mandatory — for the purpose of instilling a sense of charity, patriotism and community.

But because it’s that scary guy with the dodgy middle name actually making it a policy position, the conspiracy theories explode. He’s going to brainwash our children! Going to make them into atheistic socialists! Run!!

Puh-leeze.

One more thing …

That it does not bother you that you accept such a mandate without even knowing what’s in it indicates to me that you will let the government do anything and everything to you.

I am REALLY tired of this shoddy thinking from some people that leads them to conclude things like this. “If you don’t agree with me about this program, you must be willing to let the government do anything to you.” Or, “If you don’t agree with me that X is morally wrong, you must have no moral standards at all.”

It’s arrogant.

Finally, it is so terribly true that the horrible CCR’s on this web site are simply pointing out hard facts in Obama’s past and in his record which are matters of record (and not even contested by him). And yet the broader media totally ignores these things and focuses on the trivial, i.e. Sarah Palin firing an incompetent and insubordinate administrator, who was beside his other well-documented failures protecting a child abuser – which is now the subject of a Democrat ‘investigation’ (read ye usual old smear job). And when this asymmetry is brought into the light, you start hollering about ‘Palin-worship’.

Really.

If you must deal in fiction, at least think up something remotely interesting and at least plausible.

The huge asymmetry in the moral conscience (such as it is) of the modern leftist is truly astonishing.

As for the post, if she didn’t want to reveal the exact nature of reading — she could have easily said the truth; her campaign staff go through a variety of newspaper and give her the relevant articles. Prior to the campaign her staff in Alaska probably did the same. She couldn’t answer a softball question which appears from the video to be a mere warm-up — what will she do when she really does meet Putin?

In an other situation she lists the British ambassador as a person she had met. However, the British ambassador failed to attend the governors meeting in Washington because he was sick. Hence she could not have met him. Her staff may have noticied that he was still on the invite list from that meeting and suggested it was possible for her to fudge it.

Go read the information at the Volokh. Mandatory is NOT voluntary. I don’t expect you to — it’s easier to call me paranoid than face facts. Even Michelle has told children that it’s coming. The government has NO business mandating “voluntary” work in exchange for money. That it does not bother you that you accept such a mandate without even knowing what’s in it indicates to me that you will let the government do anything and everything to you. It’s sad when people define mandated as voluntary.

The men and women who fought the Revolution would be shocked. I know I am that you won’t even investigate. I’ll bet section 105(d) didn’t bother you either.

Hogwash. She’s getting her chance. She’s being weighed on the merits of her views, knowledge and positions, not her sex. That’s all equality means. We’re not bound to support her because she’s a woman.

Your paranoid fears that Obama wants to forcibly re-educate children are just weird.

I would refer Musing to the Volokh Conspiracy regarding the mandatory “volunteer” program Obama has in mind. I could have sworn I mentioned this days ago. They have quite a few threads on it. Obama wants to impose this on middle school children in exchange for federal funds. Schools won’t be turning money away, so when the make 50 hours a year a requirement for kids to move onto the next grade and/or graduate, that’s mandatory, and that’s not tuition assistance either.

All I want is for Palin to have a chance, a real fair chance. She will either pass or fail, but she deserves a chance to be heard and make her case, so to speak, without all these presumptions that she’s an idiot. If the MSM had done the same hatchet job on Nancy Pelosi — who is clearly … well, let me not state the obvious — I would be the first to say what’s been going on with respect to Palin has been fair. But Dem women don’t get mocked this way.

The chips fall tonight. Some of us will be praying for Palin. She’s worked hard and helped her community. She deserves a fair shot as a person, if for no other reason. Liberals/leftists say they believe in equality, but evidently, not for her because she is a Republican. That makes me sad. What has she done that as an American she can’t get a fair shake from other Americans?
