Why do liberals Hate Sarah Palin?



Recommended Posts

That's all exactly what I just said. I've read it too! And in addition, I also said ---you and the rest of us are all believing whatever we NEED to believe. People are on this board trying to tell us that we need to VOTE for American laws and American leaders and live our lives according to THEIR beliefs about who wrote the Bible, to what extent THEY think it's literally true, and what THEIR interpretation is. All I'm saying is that NOBODY knows the mind of God. NOBODY can PROVE who wrote the Bible and people who have certain beliefs about it do not have the right to make their beliefs into laws that the rest of us have to be subjected to. I'm a liberal -- which means if you don't agree with me you still get to live your own life according to your own beliefs even when my politician wins an election. When people like Palin get elected -- I and most other Americans LOSE our FREEDOM to choose. Those of us who have a different understanding of the Bible than you do must live in a society ruled by people who want us to live according to beliefs that we don't agree with. That is my point. That is why I don't like to see religion brought into political discussions.

Then maybe you should have chosen some other Nation besides a Christian one to live in. Because those of us who are Christians in this Christian nation want to live according to the moral standards of God as written in his word. Not that we want to enforce them ALL on everyone, for that would be iompossible, but when there is a controversial issue that is before us all, we should consider what God has to say about it when making any laws that have to do with it. Religion is about morality, and laws for people must uphold moral standards.

This is far from a xtian nation!!

Perhaps you've heard of a little doctrine about separation of church and state?

In this day and age it makes me queasy to think that so-called intelligent adults still believe in the invisible man that sees all and knows all.

I'll be damned if those crazies are going to think they run this country as well.

Oh boy, here we go again with PG's lengthy, SELECTIVE historical "writings" about the fallacy of the separation of church and state idea. Our founding fathers, blah, blah, blah.

I would love to have one thread not morph into religion or our founding fathers.

Spare us PG: we've seen it all before.

Pattygreen can speak on any topic she wants wherever she wants. We all have to "stay on topic". At least that was what I was reprimanded for....not staying on topic. Pattygreen, gets to say what she likes regardless of topic. I haven't seen one reprimand about topic for her although darn near every day she vears off into never never land. My bad, not NNL but "stay on topic".

Stay on topic? Sarah Palin has been a has-been since last November.

She's a joke and we'll never see her running for national office again.

What is there to say about her that matters?

Every thread started by patty is a thread that was started so that she can pontificate to her little heart's content. Don't burst her bubble by telling her she's off subject. Religion is the center of her every thought. It helps take her guilt away.

Then stay clear of the threads I post on, because my life revolves around God and I could never cease to speak of Him. :blushing:

No. Every thread that was started by me is of interest to me. I can't turn my face to the facts that every issue in life can be solved if people would turn from their desire to live without God ruling in their lives. It's quite disheartening when He gives us the answer to every controversial issue in debate and yet people don't want to hear his answers or even look into them.

See what I mean? I rest my case.

If we participate on patty's threads we are pandering to her pontificating. It's on us. We know, by experience, what she's up to. So either we put up with it or we don't play into it by getting sucked into posting on her threads. Every time we make a statement, it is another opportunity for her to do her thang.

I get into it with her because sometimes I find it fun and educational and it makes me feel better when I can punch holes in her logic. Why do you post on her threads?

Then start a new forum, like I suggested elsewhere, entitled something like: " Pattygreen's biblical interpretations and beliefs" because all your posts eventually get there and get way off topic. And those who wish to debate your ideas about God as it relates to your life could enter that forum.

It's your inability to stay on topic, even the threads you start, that is unfair to those of us who have serious, intelligent, rational contributions.

Otherwise, be honest in the new threads you start and instead of them saying "Why do liberals hate Sarah Palin" entitle it "Why my biblical beliefs allow me to support Sarah Palin". :thumbup:

If she or anyone else does not want to have a rational discussion regarding Palin, then I won't respond. PG's radical rantings are fun but tiresome, especially when she hasn't learned anything from them and disguises the thread with faux debating and religious rhetoric which has nothing to do with Palin and her hilarious intro into the political landscape. Now that Palin's book has went by the wayside, maybe she will start her bid for 2012. I for one am waiting with a yearning boarding on the pychotic for her to announce. I will have many stories beyond the obvious for my dinner parties..........

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
