Screw it, I just can’t.
What’s Worse Than Having Everybody In Your High School Talking About You?
Having a good part of the western world doing it, like some on the left are to Palin’s poor teenage daughter. …
Leave the kid alone.
The way I see it, there should be plenty of shaming for any woman whose desire to have a cute little thing in her life supercedes the best interest of a child.
And:
You are what you do.
Tarika Wilson was a bad mother.
And:
And I know, all many people require in parents is a working sperm shooter and working ovaries, but to me, that’s not parenting, it’s a recipe for fucking out little tragedies with legs.
And:
If this woman cared about children, she would’ve had them in the best environment possible for the children to have successful, healthy, happy lives: Waiting until she was a mature adult with a career and a husband to move to a safe neighborhood and have one or two children, which she would raise with great care, teaching them morality, and taking them to the dentist, and seeing that they weren’t in harm’s way, around drug dealers.
I happen to be a libertarian. I call myself a personal responsibilitarian. Personal and community responsibility are what I’m calling for here. Yeah, how terrible, how cruel, how disgusting of me.
A note to my regular commenters: Should I ever go soft in this department, please kick me back to terrible, cruel, etc.
Amy’s regular commenters have their orders, at any rate.

I remember your posts from a few weeks ago, when you made her into a transsexual and posted her head into a screen shot from The Wizard of Oz. Aside from the fact that she looks like one of my high school English teachers and a girl I used to work with, both of whom look like Cate Blanchett, I didn’t really know anything about her. After reading this post, I read her Wikipedia page. Did you ever hear of her “anti-SUV campaign”? As the entry states:
she describes her anti-SUV campaign, which consists of placing small cards on the windshields of SUVs. The cards (which are her own composition) refer to the driver as a “Road-Hogging, Gas-Guzzling, Air-Fouling Vulgarian” and pointedly suggest that the driver is compensating for “an extremely small penis” by driving “such a monstrosity.”
Really? What sort of person does this? Even if you don’t like a particular lifestyle choice or habit of others, what gives you the right to conduct a large-scale harassment campaign against these people? Is this really the work of a person who is “saner” than most professionally-trained psychologists, as the entry quotes someone suggesting?

Exactly. See, you’re all wet calling Amy a hypocrite: it’s different when you talk about Amy Palin’s kid having a love-child (or two, but let’s not get into that), because Amy Palin is a real person. Negroes are just a kind of orc.

Don’t forget, she has nothing against Mommy Dearest’s litter either. It’s okay to have a litter, including a challenged child, and a career, because Mrs. Mooseburger is married. As long as you’re married and preferably rich, irresponsible reproduction and shunting the kids aside in favor of your ambition are a-ok. If mommy had even one kid without being legally wed, even if she had money, it would not be okay in Amy’s eyes, because that kid needs a daddy (cue violins). this is why she’s popular with Glenn Sacks o’ Shite. Remember that she also despises “career women” who answer the call of their biological imperatives and have a child without a husband. The girl’s getting married; therefore, all is right as rain.
See? Amy’s not a racist! Well, she’s not simply a racist anyway. She’s something altogether her own which for want of a better title I like to call A Mean Person. Her philosophy, near as I can tell: As long as you’re rich and married, you get to reproduce, if you should be so foolish as to choose to do so. Everyone else? No brats for you!
I detest this woman.

Right when I hit submit, I wondered if I was right about her being okay with Sarah’s litter, because I know she hates the idea of Palin as McCain’s V.P. choice and it lost Grampy the Alkon vote, so maybe the litter was part of her objection. It’s too late and I’m too tired to go over there and read her spewings tonight. I’m simply going on what I’d read of her previous spewings.
So if I’m wrong about her attitude to Sarah’s brood, it’s because of lack of research on my part. Mea culpa, etc. I’m off to bed.

Completely OT, but I just happened to google “Joel’s Army”, and it was like drilling through to a whole stratum of hitherto-untapped weirdness. If I hadn’t clicked on some of the links, I would never have realised that there was a Messianic Jewish Association of America.
If only there were a political tactic of “guilt-by-pastor”, that would allow people to question Palin whether she shares her pastor’s beliefs about Joel’s Army (seizing government, cleansing the world of evil and rebellion, etc.).

Fun fact: Huckabee was a major figure in the mainstream neo-pente movement and brought in a large number of people from it to run shit in Arkansas. These days they’re more or less in charge of many areas of public life there, including the schools.
This is what happens when you’re the governor of somewhere off of the public radar like Arkansas or Alaska: you swing as far right as you possibly can, heedless the consequences – especially in Palin’s case, because they don’t exist. Spend public money defending Ted ‘Bridge To Nowhere’ Stevens? No problem: your glibertarian supporters only care about wasting money on redskins. Take up with secessionists, neopentecostal radicals, and other avowed enemies of the Constitution and the Union? Why not: it’s not like the federal government doesn’t give Alaska a piddling $1.82 for every dollar it gets back in taxes, right? (In case you’re wondering, the worst blue state, Maine, receives $1.31.)
Palin lives in the tiniest, most insular right-wing echo chamber possible, even worse than Huckabee and even worse than Paul. She’s literally never faced any kind of political difficulty in her life; her career would be meaninglessly different if America had never had state or local elections at all, because she’s identical to the ideal profile for a right-wing appointed mayor or governor. She’s a model fascist, and besides the Kampus Klan propaganda and her ovaries, all that distinguishes her as a person is not just drinking the Republican kool-aid but living on it – she’s literally never drank anything else, never had an independent thought in her life. When she stands before her Maker she expects Him to pat her on the head, call her a good girl, and get her a pony. That she is still like this as a grown adult is as damning an indictment of America as any I’ve ever seen.
And it’s the only kind of America McCain is comfortable with. It’s a match made in Hell.
alec said,

PS: mea culpa; the worst blue state in the aforementioned chart is Hawaii (although Illinois takes in an impressively low $.77). Alaska and Arizona are both in the red, although a few states – Mississippi, say – are actually worse. This is nonetheless a fine chart to show ‘fiscal responsibility’ wankers – the federal government picks up their fucking tab, and fiscal responsibility would entail leaving their stupid asses on the curb.

Following the Whiskey Fire link brought up Wolcott, who pretty much nails it with this one — and, again, I do not care in the slightest about nor do I approve nor disapprove of the situation the Palin kid finds herself in, and good luck to her:
And I wouldn’t care about the ’scandal’ type discussion of Palin’s involvement (or not) in the Alaskan Independence Party, just about the group’s actual horrible idiocies, ideologies, goals and philosophies, if Barack & Michelle Obama hadn’t been subjected to hysteric panic-mongering about everyone they stood too close to for 5 minutes across the sands of time.

Yeah, actually, to hell with worrying that she only got her passport for the first time in 2007 to visit Kuwait. What I want to know is how familiar she is with the country she may be next in line to govern.
Was her trip to Dayton to accept the nomination her first trip to Ohio? How much does she know about agriculture, the auto industry, or hurricane disaster relief? Has the woman even been to New York City or L.A.?

More on topic: Amy is the typical “libertarian” — someone who cares nothing about policy because they lack the mental capacity for it … doesn’t care about helping others because it would interrupt her TIVO viewing … and would follow whatever ideology and/or party that provided her justification (more intellectual — and I use that term loosely — than moral) to be a flaming fucktard.
