Regardless of how one defines the word "scary" to borrow from a Clinton phrase, we as Americans participate in a process. I guess we would have to agree that we are thankful Americans eagerly participate in this process of the American politic. For your review the following copy and paste.

The duties and powers of the POTUS are laid out in Article Two of the United States Constitution, which details how the POTUS will be elected, what he or she can do while in office, and the duties that the POTUS is expected to fulfill while elected. The requirements to hold the office include a stipulation that the POTUS must be a natural born American citizen of age 35 or older, although some lawmakers have tried to change these requirements to allow naturalized citizens to run for office as well. A Presidential term lasts for four years, and a President may be in office for two terms only. A President can be removed from office through a process called Impeachment if he or she commits and act of treason, bribery, or another serious crime.

Fast-

You are completely missing my point. You stated that you were afraid that Sarah would assume the POTUS. My question to you to which you or anyone else on this thread have yet to respond is whether you all are equally concerned about Uncle Joe assuming the Presidency. Joe is an idiot IMO. His statements have proven that to prove me correct IMO. Were something to happen to BO, I am scared to death of this jerk-off becoming President.

I was also afraid of BO assumng the top office in the land and my fears were well founded.

Dear Sir,

I am not afraid of Sara Palin to assume the POTUS, I like that gal. Do not tell anyone but I think John Mccain would have been a much better President than the one we have, at least the man served. But here we are and we look at things in todays light and not 2008. Often we get mixed in our posts and I have been wrong before and I apologize and should buy you a beer if I can make it to the spa this summer.

The aids epidemic was caused by a virus. Blaming the epidemic on a lifestyle is as stupid as saying tuberculosis was caused because people breathe. Did only liberals contract aids? Are only liberals gay? Is everyone of the rich and famous in Hollywood a liberal? You know the answers to those questions as well as I do.

My reply to Mostie:

Yes that's how it began. It continued by people doing the following:

1) - Having unprotected, sex ,both male and female.
2) - Passing around drug paraphernalia.
3) - Exchanging bodily fluids

try moving into this century Mostie !

On the other hand this guy is the perfect spokesman for Sarah Palin. No substance.

Permit me to explain something here. Sarah Palin does not make my head explode. Her lack of knowledge makes me laugh. Her simplistic views make me cringe. Her popularity among some makes me scratch my head. But nothing about her makes my head explode.

There is a very good reason I don't like Sarah Palin. She slanders me. Me and everyone else who espouses a liberal philosophy. To Sarah we are not just people who disagree with her. We are evil people who are bent on destroying the United States of America. We are corrupt and immoral. We are lazy and selfish. Why would I like someone who paints me in such a malicious, and false, light?
Becaus she's Right!!!!

More liberal media bashing of Palin......lol. This has become funny from the left!

Whoops! Us Weekly Publishes Sarah Palin/Christina Aguilera Spoof as Fact

This is really bad.

Us Weekly has published what it claims are comments made by Sarah Palin, in which the former vice presidential candidate blasts Christina Aguilera’s performance of the national anthem at Super Bowl XLV.

Except the over-the-top “quotes,” which Us Weekly attributes to a Monday radio interview with Sean Hannity, were actually written for a satire website.

Again: Palin’s Aguilera comments are fabricated.

They come from a satire piece.

Only Us Weekly posted the “Palin” comments as real.

The left is sure quick to try and demonize her.....
Their hatred is really bordering obsession...lol

First, some truths about the sexual revolution.

UF study: sexual revolution began with ‘silent generation’ of ‘40s and ‘50s

Filed under Family, Research on Monday, November 29, 2004.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The sexual revolution did not start in the free-loving 1960s as is commonly thought, a University of Florida researcher says. It began with the “silent generation” of the 1940s and ‘50s, which as its moniker implies, didn’t talk much about sex.

U.S. Census Bureau statistics on premarital pregnancy and vital statistics on single motherhood between 1940 and 1960 point to the unexpected conclusion that there was much more sexual activity during those decades than Americans were willing to admit, said Alan Petigny, a UF history professor whose research is published in the fall issue of the Journal of Social History.

“People didn’t start having sex because Elvis Presley was shaking his hips or because Hugh Hefner came out with ‘Playboy,’” said Petigny, who said he is the first historian to use census data focusing on premarital pregnancies. “After 15 years of Depression and war, there was also a desire on the part of Americans to live in the moment and enjoy life, and they were accordingly less likely to defer to traditional restraints on their behavior.”

http://news.ufl.edu/2004/11/29/sexual-revolution/

___________________________________________

Secondly, I support a woman's right to choose an abortion. I hope she doesn't choose to have one but it's none of my business.

Third, gay rights is going to be one of those issues people look back at in 100 years and say what the hell was all the fuss about? Too bad we have to wait at all but apparently we do.

The Hollywood comment deserves no response at all unless you believe righties don't go to the movies or watch TV.

And finally, the religion shot is wishful thinking. As in "I want to believe this because believing this somehow makes me a superior human being." Good luck with that.

US Weekly? This is your idea of a leftist publication. When has US Weekly expressed an opinion on any political issue? I have to admit I don't read US Weekly, but I do see it on the news stands. Maybe those pictures of Justin Bieber and those stories about American Idol are just camouflage. Maybe US Weekly donates half its profit to ACORN.
Is it stupid that US Weekly can't tell satire from reality? Yes. Are they leftists? NO.

Most of us can realize our value without putting other people down. Sadly, some folks need to make others feel small in order to make themselves feel big......Hey, that's not true. I never said Boxcar. I never did. Stop putting words in my mouth!

Ivy League education vs. Montana U. education. How many U.S. presidents are graduates of Ivy League Universities? How many are graduates of Montana U? (oh, feel free to include Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Alaska
Like the saying goes, you can educate a fool. If you choose to put your faith in Presidents like Wilson, Roosevelt, Clinton, Bush I and II - be my guest. I will put my faith in the Founding fathers, almost half of which did not even go to college. For that matter, neither did Abe Lincoln. A lot of these Ivy League Presidents came from influential families who contributed a lot of money to the schools assuring their kids a spot in a class room. From what I’ve been able to read Obama did not graduate undergrad with honors, so just how was he able to get into Harvard Law?

Your second sentence shows that you don't understand two things. You don't understand the difference between a political system and an economic system. You think that a particular economic system (Socialism) has to be connected to an undemocratic political system. It does not. Many democratic countries have economic systems that are at least partially socialist.
What you fail to see is that they are connected and the countries you are alluding to pale in comparison to the US and what we have accomplished in our short existence.

The second thing is you don't have a clue what people on the left believe employer.
And you think I should proof read??

Quote:
If the government passes a law requiring a company to provide reasonable safety features on an assembly line, that government is taking away that companies freedom.
This is a red-herring, nobody objects to safety rules like the use of seat belts or air bags etc. Regulations like Cap and Trade are the real issues. You want a fine example about regulations, come out to CA. You can’t legally replace your sink, or put a new rail on your balcony without getting a building permit. There is good regulation and bad regulation – the subject probably deserves its own thread.

And I thought you were going to blame Reagan.

You lack insight – do you really think I meant EVERY Hollywood celeb is a liberal or EVERY Christian is a conservative? But, as I sit here, only two hollywood conservatives come to mind – Dennis Miller and Tom Selleck. It is no mystery which way Hollywood leans.
Quote:
"What was promised to them." Apparently the right is okay with breaking promises
Can I conclude from the above that you feel the pensions should be paid – even if it bankrupts the state? I don’t recall this concern about breaking promises when the shareholders and investors of GM were getting hosed in favor of the UAW.

Quote:
Unions have negotiated givebacks in many states (Maybe in all), but what do we hear?
Please enlighten me, just what have some of these Unions “giving back”? So far the only concessions I’ve heard Unions agree to were wage freezes and agreeing to pay a small portion of their health insurance.

Quote:
Cling to the fantasy that all union workers are lazy. Keep believing that the Banks and the insurance companies and the corporate giants are in the smallest way concerned about the country. Keep doing that and when the country goes in the toilet it will be easy for you to find who to blame. If you own a mirror
I would say Unions are no less greedy than the banks, insurance companies or giant corporations.

There are also studies that show increases in premarital sex between 1965 – 1975. I think he under plays the effect of the pill nor does he mention any other form of contraception available in the 60’s and 70’s and he makes no mention of the increase in abortions in that same time period.

Well, well, well....all of a sudden you can realize your "value"? Just what "value" would that be? You recall when you put down Jim and how terrible he was for not wanting to share his wealth through higher taxation, and how I repeatedly asked you what made your opinion on the matter so morally superior to his, or to mine, or to anyone else's matter? I asked you several times to what or to whom did you attribute your moral superiority whenever you start telling people what is fair and what isn't, or what they should be paying in taxes, etc.? You never did answer me. But now since you say that you can recognize your own "value" (whatever that means), maybe you'd like to share with us the source to your moral superiority whenever you start waxing holier-than-thou. I'm still curious to know...

Yeah, and the Left's legacy to society is that they sure will make certain that society's promiscuity and sexual perversions not only continue but will increase exponentially with each succeeding generation. The Left's goal is to make the entire nation into Sodom and Gomorrah.
