Politics and religion.

Sarah Palin is it 2012 already? I sure hope she doesn't get the other idiot politicians started on any early campaign.

Maybe the world will end & we won't have to put up with any if it?

It's time for CHANGE Bonny.....from worse to better.

Too late for that Bonny...."other idiot politicians already started on early campaigns"?

Tom Huntsman, Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty, Newt Gingrich, Michelle Bachmann, Rudy Guiliani, Herman Cain, Ron Paul, Rick Santorum...

Had three drop out already! Donald Trump, Mike Hukabee and Governor Daniels.

But of course, Ms. Palin isn't campaigning yet. She is just on a "family vacation" in a bus with her name in HUGE LETTERS on the side of it and Fox personalities (I refuse to call them reporters!) on the bus with her.

I guess she just wants to share her tremendous knowledge of US history with her daughter. Maybe she can get Ms. Bachmann to help her - all about the Revolutionary War starting in Concord New Hampshire.

What I find most amusing is these so called "patriots" who get positively orgasmic when they hear the words "founding fathers" don't have a clue about the history they profess to love.

Sounds like they all need to attend summer school & brush up on their history.

OK, so how DID it go down then? I'd love to read everyone's take on it.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Gosh Puck, I did not realize you too are not familiar with US history! I am sure your public library has lots of books you could check and use to brush up.

Then perhaps you could share them with Ms. Palin and Ms. Bachmann!

[Grace]

And it's Jon Huntsman (Jon Meade Huntsman, Jr), not Tom.

Sorry Grace! He is a bit of a newcomer. It will be interesting to see if he can get past the issue that he is a Republican who worked for Obama.

Liz - I have been following the issue in Indiana with Planned Parenthood and scartching my head. Why is it the same people who scream about woman on welfare having too many babies then turn around and scream about a NGO that offers low income women healthcare and contraceptives? I would think they would want contraceptives being handed out with food stamps.

Of course they also say the health services offered by Planned Parenthood are available at Walgreens. I have never thought of Walgreens as a good place to go for a Pap smear. Who knew??

ES, never fails to entertain.

You REALLY should run for office. You have all the necessary skills.

Awww Puck, what's the matter? ES didn't want to play your game huh?
LOL

OMG! a Dem caught in a sex scandal.

It's very sad that grown men have to resort to using the internet to harass women.

A Republican would just show up at the gal's house and show he's a man.

------------------------

As a politician and member of congress? Weiner came off as being a little to cocky and I think the rest of his term will show he is impotent as a politician.

And the way he stood so erect at the podium and gave that flaccid speech?

He may not recover from pulling a boner like that.

Nope, not allowed to mate.
Schools use BOOKS. It has been pointed out to me previously by one of our forums esteemed armchair historians that American History is'nt correct if it is obtained from BOOKS.
I quote "Isn't it wonderful to be a American and have foreigners tell you what our Politics are all about? Hey, they even know our History...they read a book somewhere."
I must write to Professor Ian Tyrrell about that one.
But no....he's Australian. What would he know about American history ???

Wom,

When a person takes the test to become an American they have to answer questions about our history.

Sad to say that many of these fledging citizen's know MORE about our history than us 'mericans do.

That my friend, I wouldn't doubt.
I'm a bit of a history buff. I love it. ALL world history. I have a vast library on many subjects, but History books would have to form the bulk of it.
OOPS !!! Did I mention books again ???

BOOKS that nasty word again.

When we were taught history in school we were given tests & forced to memorize dates, people, & places. I always thought well the only place I would be using this stuff is maybe on a quiz show like Jeopardy.

The nice thing about historical books, if you find a good author they can put you right there on the spot.
