Palin Pushes Religion Test for Presidents!

Dec 05, 2010 16:29

The Post today has an important op-ed by Bobby Kennedy's "politico" daughter Kathleen Kennedy Townsend. In it, she contradicts Sarah Palin in the latter's book "America by Heart" (*gags*). Palin revisits JFK's famous speech, during his 1960 campaign, to a Houston religious group. He said he wasn't the "Catholic candidate" but rather the "Democratic ( Read more... )

You're probably not a GWAR fan, but you might enjoy this video:

Shock and awe! devifemme December 5 2010, 23:29:43 UTC

Oh! Sweet Dokai, what on earth?! That has to be MORE disturbing than the sex-vid I was put onto by eqfe a few minutes ago!! (Which was a comment on a mild D/s photo --http://devifemme.livejournal.com/930901.html -- but featured a cold-blooded domme who still has me shivering.)

That GWAR "performance" certainly set back our political discourse a long way...I guess I prefer the Tina Fey version of Palin (even if Bush 41 has the copyright on "kinder gentler"). I hadn't know about GWAR, though I see the group is a major one -- even performed at Coachella! It's not my thing, I'm afraid...

*chuckles* No worries. As I indicated, I didn't expect to find that you were a GWAR fan.

Palin frightens me with the amount of passion she's able to invoke in the less-informed. The Republicans have historically tried to turn every issue into a "right vs. wrong" debate, with the easily-led jumping on their bandwagon. Remember how Kerry was crucified? "A vote for Kerry is an endorsement for homosexuality!" *roles eyes*

If I had a vagina I'd be even more terrified of Palin, given her ideas regarding freedom of choice and the rights of women to control their own bodies. Never mind her obviously flawed and failed opinions regarding celibacy being the premier method of birth control. She reminds me a lot of what I've read about Hitler's charisma and ability to lead otherwise semi-intelligent people down a dark path.

Wait a minute, sweetie... "If I had a vagina..."?? I could've sworn you were a girlie!

But that somewhat explains the appeal of GWAR. Simulating the evisceration of a public figure -- that is, the literal gutting -- is sorta macho. Sorry, but I squicked!

LOL No, dear J, I'm not "a girlie". My name is Philip, which I'm almost positive I've mentioned. Girlie or not, I do share your appreciation for the feminine form, so we have that in common. I suppose I should consider your confusion as a compliment. I must be behaving myself. ;-)

I'm not a GWAR fan, either, but I can appreciate a political statement on occasion, even when it's a bit (LOT) dramatic. Had the center of their attention not been Palin I would have been far less likely to share with the class.

Hugz are always happily accepted, regardless of motivation. *hugs back*
