Taken completely out of context. That was said at a dinner about football.

Keep trying stupid. So far you are batting zero.

Sounds more like he was trying to do a Sean Connery impression. Would love to hear him try that voice...

 

[Carnevil9]

So it's okay to take Sarah Palin out of context, but not O'Bama?

Like I said on the other thread

"IF THEY BRING A KNIFE TO THE FIGHT, WE'LL BRING A GUN." Obama, June 2010

Same old shit.

Both parties suck so hard I'm surprised they haven't created a vacuum that's imploded the country...

Let Obama try to be cool if he wants, it's no skin off anyone's back.

I firmly believe we're heading in that direction. I think we're MUCH closer to a second American Civil war than most would believe.

I always love the part where everyone who thinks this also thinks nobody else knows The Truth.

Who would do the fighting for the Left?

I see us closer to something else far worse.

Really? Americans fighting each other to the death? What would make you think such a thing? Neighbors killing each other political issues? In this true and real America, people don't care about anything but themselves. Test it. Pick any political issue and see if any of your neighbors willing to give up their lives and the lives of their family members over it. When we don't like were we live, we usually move instead of trying to make it how we want it to be.

Take a look at Fascist Spain and Nazi Germany for a glimpse of our future.

The LEFT always forgets that the RIGHT controls the military, and the military always has a short fuse for political BS that affects the security of the nation. The LEFT cant fight a war with poets and social workers and drug addicts.

Once upon a time there was a country very very far away, a colorful country with fertile lands and full of intelligent people. The majority of people were doing well, never had to fear hunger or war, and they became complacent and bored. They thought for ways to occupy themselves and found listening to the court jesters an interesting and diverting way to occupy their time.

So it became that the number of jesters grew, roaming the countries and telling people in colorful stories about the happenings at the courts of the nobility, about dangers that lurked ahead and changes that were happening. This was a good thing, as the people learned about the bigger pictures, their world grew and they involved themselves in discussions they felt were important. People stopped to think about each other as strangers and started to see each other as neighbours.

After some time, though, the stories they were told grew repetitive, and they yearned to hear new things, emotional things, and they again grew bored. They shunned those jesters that would tell quiet stories about the small things going on or asked them to think for themselves. Instead they celebrated those who brought outrageous news from the high courts, stories of scandals, deceit, violence and debauchery.

So it was little surprise that the jesters started searching for just that kind of stories and flocked towards the castles of the highest nobility. They prayed to witness them fall and be able to tell a story more intense and violent than all other. They went out into the country and fascinated their audiences with exaggerated tales, leaving out the unimportant parts and such adding to the perceived monstrosity of events.

Soon it became that the jesters were no longer people who reported about events, but rather gifted speakers who would take a statement, a sentence or word and weave their own stories around it, shape it to the audiences need and push and pull their emotions until they were standing on their seats and applauding frenetically.

Yet it grew harder though to find new stories unique and worth telling. The jesters fought among themselves and started to employ trickery and bribery to get the most exhilarating tales. They didn't care for the noblemen and -women who were wise and soft spoken, as those did not fall for their ploys. They rather focused on those playing their very game, those being loud and polarizing, until there were hardly any jesters found anywhere but at the two biggest castles which they named 'black' and 'white' to make them easier to distinguish for their audience. And with time, people forgot that there were other nobility and took the scandals and exaggerations as how things needed to be.

And when the need to name a new ruler arose, the jesters would spread across the country and tell people about those heirs that played their game the best, those being loud and hard and cunning, those who bent words and painted forceful images. And every so often, people would name one of those their king or queen above all other nobility.

So it became, that by complacency and boredom, a once rich and colorful country became known to the world as the country of jesters, ruled by the biggest of jesters, and as the country of black and white.

America needs the counsel of those who embraced Hitler.

Nice one, shows a lot of intellectual grandeur.
