But I must ask: Why is education important and worthy of praise if you're a lib, but not so much if you're not a lib?
I hate to tell you this, but not all conservatives believe in God. I personally know some, and here's what will really fuck you up...some are gay. It amazes me how some on the left who proclaim to be so worldly know so little of the real world. Not saying this about you, but there are the others...
What are the qualifications to be classified as a wingnut? Long answer OK. Don't name names from ET, hard as it may be to resist such a response. Serious question.
Well stated. The problem is: Both sides think the other is extreme and certainly each have different definitions of the center. Is there a true center? If so, what is it, and how do we know the answer is itself not biased?
Sarah Palin's Bizarre Iowa Speech Gets Thanks -- From The Democrats
Shortly after declaring that she's "seriously interested" in running for president in 2016, Sarah Palin delivered a confusing speech that was panned by many, even some on the right.
Speaking at the Iowa Freedom Summit in Des Moines on Saturday, the former Alaska governor and one-time vice presidential candidate delivered a speech that John Fund of the National Review described as "meandering and often bizarre."
Here's an excerpt:
"Things must change for our government. Look at it. It isn’t too big to fail. It’s too big to succeed! It's too big to succeed, so we can afford no retreads or nothing will change with the same people and same policies that got us into the status quo. Another Latin word, status quo, and it stands for, ‘Man, the middle-class everyday Americans are really gettin’ taken for a ride.’ That's status quo, and GOP leaders, by the way, y'know the man can only ride ya when your back is bent. So strengthen it. Then the man can't ride ya, America won't be taken for a ride, because so much is at stake and we can't afford politicians playing games like nothing more is at stake than, oh, maybe just the next standing of theirs in the next election."
In response to the speech, Democratic National Committee communications director Mo Elleithee issued a two-word statement:

The New York Daily News reports that Palin's teleprompter froze, forcing her to ad-lib some of her remarks.
And yet.... Conroy also reported that Palin left the stage to a standing ovation and the Taylor Swift song, "Shake It Off."
