Yep, I do remember them. I remember that they were brought up as an issue and challenged by Palin and other prominent conservatives at the time.  I also remember that they were removed from the Obamacare bill before it was passed into law as well. Don't worry, you'll be dealing with them (stuck with them) as an issue directly relating to you and your life eventually after  America votes to move forward as a nation and  part ways with the Progressive Democrats and leave them to their own demise.

Sarah Palin showed beyond any question that she was completely unfit to be Vice-President. She gave one speech well and made a fool of herself. She made an infamous speech separating the "Real America" from what much of America considers the modern-day equivalents of Sodom and Gomorrah, America's medium-to-giant cities. While in Chilicothe, Ohio she praised rural America and disparaged cities whose skyscrapers were out of view. News crews from Columbus, Ohio were there to capture the speech. Chilicothe is within the service area of the channels "4", "6" and "10". Let me explain what those numbers mean in Ohio:



Channel 4, 6, and `10 in Ohio are associated only with the Columbus market. Sarah Palin could have asked what TV market she was in... it's obviously Columbus. Just because she isn't in Columbus doesn't mean that her visit to Chilicothe isn't a news event. Her rambling, derisive speech got picked up by TV stations in Columbus, a fairly cosmopolitan city despite its location, and the horrid speech spread like wildfire.

After all, consider what is in Columbus, Lots of minorities, of course. Not Palin's sort of people, especially if they do not have English as their first language. (People not native speakers of English can often show an above-average mastery of standard English associated with well-educated people, but from my experience they do not catch on to American slang. This is so whether the language is fairly close in grammar and vocabulary to English, like French, or wildly distant like Chinese). Columbus has one of the largest universities in America, Ohio State. It has oodles of well-educated professionals who don't appreciate having their intelligence offended. So those aren't your sort of people? Tough!

America's giant cities have plenty of fine people, and in general they do not describe their communities as Sodom and Gomorrah. I can tell you about the vileness that is Michigan Avenue in southwestern Detroit, but once it enters Dearborn the sex-related businesses disappear in favor of kebab houses, and one quit seeing whores plying their trade and drunks and addicts stumbling about... and far fewer bars and liquor stores. Islamic influence, you know. Yes, you can get a drink in Dearborn, but you had better not get drunk or rowdy. Plenty of Christians and Jews also live in Dearborn, but they seem to like things quiet. Better the mosque than the whorehouse.

The truth about death panels was that loved ones and physicians would get to discuss when to pull the plug on someone unconscious in a terminal condition. Get your facts straight. Those death panels are being used on COVID-19 patients.

We had the right to consult with physicians and family members and determine whether or not to pull the plug on a loved one who was terminally ill or brain dead before Obamacare passed into law. I think you better get your facts straight because the country is beginning to figure you guys out and starting to turn on you and the Democrats right now.

Just look at the political figures on the Right. Most endorse the most despotic President in American history and fault him, if at all, for not being despotic enough -- or failing to crush liberalism before beginning the internal purge of the GOP. 

On the other hand I would love to see the Right splinter between the fascists and the libertarians. 

As a People we must put liberty above ethnic and religious identity... and even economic gain and security. The Hard Right has won some elections on promises of economic miracles that never pan out for any but the elites.

Those already rich wax even fatter while strangling freedom of those not them. 

The Capitol Putsch gives us cause to recognize how precarious liberty and democracy are. Forged papers "offering" slates of electors contrary to the popular vote of those states (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) have been exposed in recent days. A second term of Trump would have initiated a dictatorship in which those who won the last election choose the results of every subsequent election. That's how things were done behind the Iron Curtain, if for a different agenda. One Big Happy Plantation may be the economic antithesis of Marxist-Leninist economics, but the techniques are much the same.

Are you Perfect PB? Is Bob Perfect PB? Are Eric and Dave Perfect PB?

Quote:Dude, the only Perfect human being was beaten to a bloody pulp and paraded through the streets and then crucified and left hanging there to die a slow and miserable death a couple thousand years ago. Other than year that we live in, are you at all related  to him PB

Quote:Are there any blues posting here who are related to him these days? I see a lot of blues using him and using his beliefs to attract people and use them to gain power as they're attacking his believers and removing symbols related to him and his father so to speak. Who am I PB?

Quote:Am I the Devil or equal to the Devil?

You ain't Perfect. You've proven beyond all doubt many times. You ain't Rotten to the core like most of your politicians and billionaires and donor class/aristocracy these days. I mean, you got to be Rotten to do business with the Devil and they're all Rotten PB. So, which blue shit hole do you and the others prefer to be dropped off and left to die in PB? Right now, you have choices that you won't have for much longer. Like I've said, you better pull your head out/wise up and start showing me/us  something other than the shit you've been showing me/us for over a decade now.

At least we don't claim to speak for some imaginary group which supposedly shares our political opinions.  I don't pretend to be of any 'perfect' definition, but at least I got there by observing what was real.
