Palin to appear on SNL
“Saturday Night Live” won’t need Tina Fey to portray GOP vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin tomorrow night, because they’ll have the real thing. Palin has agreed to appear on the show, which, interestingly, will be hosted by Josh Brolin, star of the just-released Oliver Stone flick, W. Palin told radio show host Neal Boortz today:
“I haven’t seen a script, not at all. They
haven’t even hinted about what that script is going to say. But
you know, I just want to be there to show Americans that we will rise
above the political shots that we take because we’re in this serious
business for serious challenges that are facing the good American
people right now.”

Oh, my aching head!! What a nonsensical, run-on sentence! Where are the grammar police when you need them?

Anlir,
So often we wonder where the grammar watchdogs are hiding when some of the posters such as you flub your flops on this blog. I wouldn’t worry about Sarah Palin, take care of Anlir, its a full time job.

I think I write pretty dang clearly on here. (Granted people may hate what I write, but judging from the reaction, they do get my point). My worst mistake is occasional spelling errors. But then, I’m not running for the second highest office in the land. I expect better out of someone who’s aspiring to be a leader of our nation.
Sorry, but Sarah’s statement makes no sense.
As for Sarah’s appearance on SNL – bully for her! I expect we’ll get something along the lines of a skit where you won’t be able to tell which “Sarah Palin” is the real one.

I think it’s a bad idea. Schlepping with a bunch of vile, liberal, Christ-hating, conservative-hating wanna-be actors to somehow show that she’s “above” the political shots she’s been taking is just feeding the alligator so it will eat you last.
Rising above the below-the-belt shots she’s been taking should entail ignoring these fools. They aren’t worth acknowledging.

Dav you might be right, but Gov. Palin has proven herself to be a very savy speaker, not to mention guest on a number of shows. She’s better than the bunch who try and trip her up, they don’t like it, so they all want to take a ‘try’ at being the one who finally reels her in.
Palin can handle the bunch ‘braying from the left’ – let the ‘donkey’s’ make all the noise they want!

Anlir, as usual, has no clue. Sarah’s statement was extremely clear to those of us who have ears to hear.

Outkast, if they stopped “braying” all the time they might be able to focus on what they read, or hear.

DAV: …vile, liberal, Christ-hating, conservative-hating wanna-be…
Just curious, are there, in your opinion any liberals who qualify as Christ-lovers? Or must one be a conservative to love Jesus?
And how the heck did “schlepping” get in there?
Report comment to moderator
From Anlir 1 & 3 posts, I wonder if Anlir’s one of the water boys for those main-stream media reporters; s/he sounds like one, determining to find something to bash the Gov. Comment like Dav 6’s expresses a different, yet tempered, opinion but not filled w/t strife therefore has merit.
I came here to “hide” from all the braying (good choice of word Victoria) of the Obama’s worshipping fools & still had to encounter one. So glad to “hear” others speak up for the Gov. I don’t have that luxury while watching TV news.

Arcadia, believe it or not, prior to becoming a Chrisitan, I was EXTREMELY liberal. After giving my life to Jesus, and over a long period of time, my heart and my thoughts began to change.
Having said (er,typed) that, I have to wonder at people who hold to certain political/sociological beliefs (read liberal)who profess to love Jesus when those beliefs are opposed to all that He stands for.
Care to explain that?
Report comment to moderator
Actually its incumbent upon Dav to explain his premise rather than Arcadia – why is “liberal” opposed to Christ any more than today’s version of conservatism. Quite frankly neither one is an explicitly Christian political/sociological position. Theoretically both are products of the Enlightenment and the idea that the use of reason by man will produce a more perfect society. The neo-cons with vision of universalizing capitalism and liberal democracy to produce the end of history are more prone to an non-Christian vision of the future.

Oh come on HRW – everyone knows the Christ was a conservative Republican. It’s right there in the Bible. And what about that time he took a whip and cleared out a den of liberal Democrats? No, no – it’s clear in the Bible that you cannot be a Christian and a liberal (or a Democrat).

Not all of us are like Dav or some of the other haters you find around here. Really. And many of us are voting for Obama this time.

So, Anlir, SteveG & HRW: you were all on the verge of giving your lives to Christ when mean ‘ol me derailed you, eh? What a load!
I’ve been reading your posts for a long time, and it’s apparent that you have been repeatedly exposed to the Truth. My candor on this blog is certainly not why you haven’t submitted your lives to Him.
And as for being “a great witness” for my faith, SteveG, I think you’re just not used to Christians with spines. I’m guessing that you enjoy baiting and harassing Christians who will slink away in faux-shame when you start spewing your venom. I won’t. I’ve read the Bible through and through, and I don’t see anything in it that says Christians have to let the likes of you beat us down. (I’ll wait with barely-concealed zeal for someone to quote some misguided theology at me about “turning the other cheek…”)
RPN: your labeling of me as a “hater” says a lot. And none of it is good. You should get to know me before you sling mud. And enjoy your country under the up-coming socialist presidential regime…

It should be obvious why liberals are anti-Christianity. Liberals are in favor of breaking down the family and all moral law and vote for laws that loosen decent standards, and the family is the foundation of a society. See also the comments in WV today on why a civilization fails. Liberals favor all those things on that list, too.

It should be GREAT FOR SNL. I’ve not be into the show for quite awhile. I TiVo it mostly for the musical guests. I’ll probably watch.
As for the comments on liberalism and Christianity, if we were all to live by the standards of the Bible, we’d have slaves and Ms Palin wouldn’t even have a chance at the VP spot. Thank your liberals for that. Can I get a “Thank You Liberals”? Amen!
Do you like the liberals who are anti-Islam, anti-Morman and anti-Hindu (and so on) or do they suffer the same distain for that position? Maybe they’re more like Christians than you think, just not perfected to be quite as myopic as a Christian

Liberals are in favor of breaking down the family and all moral law and vote for laws that loosen decent standards, and the family is the foundation of a society.
Actually, liberalism was founded on the premise of individual rights, equality of opportunity, extensive freedom of thought and speech, limitations on the power of governments, the rule of law, the free exchange of ideas, a market or mixed economy, and a transparent system of government — basic Enlightenment thought.
An emphasis on family as the basis of society as opposed to the individual originated either as a pre-Enlightenment ideology such as feudalism which stressed hereditary status or as a conservative response to the Enlightenment such as corporatism and fascism; elements of both can be seen in the Vichy France regime which changed the motto of Equality, Liberty and Fraternity to Family, Fatherland and Work.

Just saw the SNL clips online. ROTFLMAO at the Palin Rap!!!!
Palin was truly a good sport – I think she missed her calling, which is clearly show-biz not politics.

Dav at #19: So, Anlir, SteveG & HRW: you were all on the verge of giving your lives to Christ when mean ‘ol me derailed you, eh? What a load!
Actually, I was a practicing, churchgoing Christian for many years. What eventually derailed me was the stubborn refusal of the theology to fit with reality or common sense.
Harsh people like you — hardly just you, I’ve encountered hundreds or thousands over the years — only serve to remind me of what I don’t miss about those years.

Steve G.,
So, what “reality” or “common sense” makes sense without God that didn’t make sense with Him? I’m a bit baffled. In my mind, Scripture does an excellent job answering questions no other system answers–such as why human beings are the way we are, for instance (made in the image of God, and thus far above all the beasts, but fallen into sin by choice, and thus in some ways a pretty ugly lot). I don’t see anything outside Christianity that answers reality in such profound, but elegantly simple, ways.

Essentially that’s the problem for all religions — the existence or non-existence of God doesn’t seem to make a difference to reality. Essentially, is there a need for that hypothesis?
Report comment to moderator

And in ways that contradict reality – like the one you mention – explaining the human condition with a mythical Adam and Eve and Serpent may satisfy you, but as an actual event, it is flatly contradicted by evidence and common sense.

Spinoza and HRW,
Neither of you has actually even attempted to answer the question, how your system answers the question of why human beings are both so high and so low, like God in some ways and worse than animals in others.
Spinoza, your answer to me was particularly silly: Adam and Even being contradicted by evidence (where?) and common sense (again, you haven’t come up with a common-sense alternative, so why attack the one and only belief system that gives a reason to these very important human questions and say it “lacks common sense”?). In other words, when you have no alternative answer, it’s a shrewd but pointless move, and I for one will not take the bait. Again, what is YOUR answer to these questions?

I don’t have a system -I do have a rather pragmatic existential view of living if that qualifies as a system. I tend to have a low opinion of humanity so I’m not puzzled by the high/low question you pose because I don’t accept the premise. And finally I’m not sure there is a need for the God hypothesis to explain what needs to be explained.

“Actually, I was a practicing, churchgoing Christian for many years. What eventually derailed me was the stubborn refusal of the theology to fit with reality or common sense”
Has anyone answered Steveg 29? Disregard this if it’s repetitive. The term “churchgoing Christian” may be the key to your falling away, Steveg. You can frequent a church as many times as a month allows that still doesn’t make you a Christ’s disciple any more than a mouse falling into a cookie jar & becoming a cookie (The Hiding Place). Did you read the Bible & ponder & mull over the verses to see what message the Lord God wants to teach you? Or were you busy finding fault w/t the “stubborn pastor who wouldn’t want to fit Scripture into the reality & common sense”? (BTW, maybe you didn’t look far enough. There are quite a few preachers who are so willing… I bet Obama’s previous preacher could be one of them).
Common sense told me to throw water onto the fire that started by the oil while I was frying eggrolls. I almost did, hadn’t my dad stopped me just in the nick of time. MY common sense almost killed me (or at least burned me). My father’s knowledge saved me. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 3:6). & that happens daily, dear sir.
Where do we get knowledge? Not from Rev Wright, nor the stubborn pastors. From the Bible. Prov 16:25 does warn all of us: “There is a way that SEEMS right to a man, But its end is the way of death” (emphasis mine)
So, Steveg 29 (& those who ask “what’s wrong w/t Christians voting 4 Obama”, maybe from another blog), for the sake of life, true, eternal life, you may want to go to where you can find true knowledge, & watch out for common sense.
