On terrorism.

From Wikipedia

"Terrorism is the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion. Most common definitions of terrorism include only those acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for an ideological goal (as opposed to a lone attack), and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants. Some definitions also include acts of unlawful violence and war."

Why then, Sarah, is it not considered "terrorism", if those particular terror seekers are bombing say, an abortion clinic.

Oh, right. They support your agenda.



Just checkin'. *wink*

LOL! Bomb an abortion clinic? All for that! ;) wink wink. KIDDING! But, I do HATE abortion.

Obama -- Share that wealth? What is that? Ugh. *wink*

I don't *LOVE* abortion. Just to be clear. I do believe in choice. It's not something I would chose for my life but I think it's important that a choice is available. Especially if one of my daughters were victims of rape or incest. That's just a no brainer for me. And of course it would be *their* choice to make.

Share the wealth? Yep, we wanna give it to all the lazy people.

pro-choice does not equal pro-abortion. once pro-lifers can understand that, the issue of abortion can be be be compromised upon.

for a party that wants less gov't control, you'd think they'd want the the gov't to say out of their vaginas too, y'know?

"sharing the wealth" is just another McCain-ism. All Obama wants to do is take away the tax cuts that Bush gave to the wealthy. We'll be right back to the economic status when Clinton was in office. Obama is proposing we re-use Clinton's economic policies...and if we put our thinking caps on we'll easily remember THAT WE THRIVED ECONOMICALLY UNDER THE CLINTON ADMININSTRATION!

But that's just my opinion and I know you're the choir.

xo *wink*

I totally respect all opinions. :) Abortion is a sensitive subject for me. I will leave it at that.

Sorry, but what Obama said to Joe the plumber, "spread the wealth" is a load of poo.

And, I think I REALLY hate that Obama wants to raise the taxes on the rich... most of them worked their BUTTS off to get where they are. And because of that they need to pay more taxes? Please!

Tax the wealthy? Read Renee's comment. He is only proposing to take away the tax cuts Bush gave which has the wealth trickling up. Would it really be so horrible for the rich to give a little more so that a single mother wouldn't have to work three jobs to support her family. No one is saying they didn't work their butts off...just that the scale is a little unbalanced. Guaranteed she is working her tail off just as hard.

They infer socialism, terrorist, muslim! They want to instill fear in uninformed people because that is the only way they have a snowball's chance in hell. They refuse to talk about anything but how horrible Obama is because they don't have a leg to stand on.

And Joe the "plumber" is a fake. He's not even worth discussion.

Bill Clinton said it best - the two major presidential decisions made during this campaign have shown exactly who is ready and who is not.
One being the VP pick - c'mon. Really? Palin is not ready to be President - and putting our country at such great risk is SELFISH. He thought it would help him win - and clearly it isn't.

Two being the way they handled the economic crisis. John McCain fumbled around suspending his campaign and tried to look all "country first" - I don't buy it. Meanwhile Obama was continuing his campaign, preparing for a debate, getting advice from economic experts and wanting to know what was right for our country - not popular - right.

John McCain's camp is in the midst of a civil war and grasping at any opportunity to smear Obama. This country is so divided right now - McCain can't even keep his campaign on the same page, how's he supposed to run the country?

And none of this is personal Shealynn.....I'm just speaking my mind.

As far as the abortion thing goes....I totally respect Pro-Life all the way - I just want a choice for me and my girls. My point about the video was that the people bombing those clinics are just as evil - a terrorist is a terrorist. Palin's religion should have NO part in politics....it's not the United Christian's of America.

I am not going to debate ya on this issue. I disagree with A LOT of things that Obama is for.

I don't believe Obama is the best candidate for president. Period. He doesn't have much experience, especially to be leading out country.

I love Sarah Palin! She is a strong woman, and I totally disagree. I think she is ready to be the Vice Prez. And if [God forbid] John McCain were to die, I do believe that she would be prepared and ready to lead our country.

I don't really care if Obama is Muslim or black or purple, but he sure loves bringing up the fact that he is black. That should not play a huge part in why he is elected, but unfortunately I know it is. However, I do believe the Socialism is a fact in what he believes this country should be. He has talked about it in past interviews. Now he tries to deny it.

I could say a lot more, but I will hold off. I like you!! LOL!

And yes, He is talking about raising taxes for people making more than $200,000 a year, which was originally $250,000 a year... next thing you know... Tax cuts all around. LOL! Yes, I understand single parents are working 3 jobs. My mother was a single parent for a long time, but did not turn Democrat so that the government would give her more money. Not to mention illegal immigrants and their "welfare cadillac". See it all the time, especially living here in Arizona.

I disagree that the wealthy need to pay more taxes because they make more money. To me, that makes no sense. Should I pay more taxes because my neighbor makes $50,000 less a year that I do? I don't think so.

mama said...

And again....we agree to disagree. LOL. Haven't we been here before?

No hard feelings, really. You like you who like and I like who I like. We shall see what happens in the election and there after as well. One thing I know for sure is the last eight years have been a disaster. One lie after the other, the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer all the while our people are dying and giving of themselves more than the country will ever give back in return.

It would be a lot better if all politicians did their job and quit abusing their power. When pigs fly. The rest of us just get to sit back and hope for the best.
