WTF!?!??? Palin Gets it Right!

[native]

from newsmax:

"Former Alaska GOP Gov. Sarah Palin ... mocked [Obama's] ...use of the “Winning the Future” theme, noting that the phrase’s acronym was WTF, which could have another, vulgar meaning.

“His theme last night was WTF, you know, ‘winning the future.’ And I thought, OK, that acronym — spot on,” she said, during an interview with Fox News’s Greta Van Susteren. “There were a lot of WTF moments throughout that speech..."

[Bronco]

When he said the economy was great and the worst was behind us...I was saying WTF

I saw another gal pealing her Obama bumper sticker off her Subaru today...only one left in my town now

Sarah is a fool...no doubt...but that doesn't invalidate that Obomination is the fool that won...thanks to the help from several foolish thinkers on this board.

Congrats...you know the guy you voted for is a retard. "Yes, my Dad is a retard, but your dad is a retard!" That must be a great comfort for you.

As far as the writer goes, ironically, he must be a little concerned about the intelligence and knowledge of history of his readership. No educated person needed to include the last line in the paragraph below...it was way too obvious...and he already used the same line a couple paragraphs earlier.


"Yep, Sarah confused the space race with the arms race."

"I think Palin needs to study her Republican Reagan mythology a little bit more closely. She has confused the space race with arms races."


Second grade school books use the same tactics to get the reader to understand the simple concepts and messages.

Still pretty advanced stuff for Sarah's crowd.

I just took a random link to that story. I have never been to that site before. Could have just as easily taken a link from a major news source. Sorry for failing.

There really wasn't much difference between the arms race and the space race. When Sputnik was launched, it was seen as the first step toward the militarization of space. Now, space is militarized and will continue to be even more militarized in the future. It's only a matter of time before we have killer satellites and weapons platforms in orbit around the Earth.

Trut so pure. It's not even a matter of time any more.

I feel safer already...

What do you propose? That we throw in the towel against every adversary?

well for starters we spend ALMOST as much as pretty much the whole rest of the world combined on Military...
And it's never enough - frankly it's the definition of "Insanity"

If we spent as much as the TOP 10 other countries combined we'd be debt free in 5 years

I'm OK with military spending reductions. I have said it before and will say it again.

But I do not believe the pie chart and do not concur with your conclusion.

Yeah, the pie chart doesn't even pass the sniff test, especially concerning China.

I'm willing to look at a Pie Chart you consider accurate...
but I have a feeling those are all hidden somewhere deep in the pentagon

That chart actually looks about right for 2009 when it was calculated.

China's spending has increased exponentially since then, and it is also based on our best intelligence estimates, since China conceals that spending that they do not wish for us to know about.

I also have no problem with reducing defense spending as long as we reduce our mandate to provide security for countries like Norway, et al. We have had some pretty big military spending cuts over the last 4 administrations (2 cuts to be exact) but we did not scale back our self-imposed obligations.

That means the rise of contractors, among other things.

Long past time for NATO to go, and let the Euros build their own anti-missle system.

And the CIA and DIA.

And even THOSE aren't going to be entirely accurate.... but China's spending would certainly be higher.
