It was opportunistic, and indicative of a callous disregard for his own grandmother, to claim that she was a "typical white person", presumably displaying typical white racism for being afraid of a hostile bum.<BR/><BR/>"And it was your challenge, I think that with all of the work that I did, the least that you could do would be to read the links."<BR/><BR/>Hey, tough beans.

Maybe there is county level data on this, or GSS similar.</I><BR/><BR/><I>Pregnancies</I> or <I>births</I>? There's a difference, and that difference is the abortion rate, which is higher in blue states. 8 of the top 10 states, abortion-wise, voted for Kerry in 2004.<BR/><BR/><I>How big of a problem are teen-births anyway among married couples with decent norms and social network, like the Palins?</I><BR/><BR/>Not as big of a problem as the press likes to make out. My (limited) experience is that the babies tend to do pretty much the same as their parents. You can say, "Gee, look at that kid. His mother had him when she was 16 and he turned out to be white trash!" Sure, but his parents and grandparents were white trash, too.<BR/><BR/>In contrast, the teen mothers I've known who came from middle- and upper middle-class families all married the fathers and are still married (presumably happily). In every case but one they were all Mormon.<BR/><BR/><I>Obama? Not so much. He as noted did not like his Grandmother or mother because the latter abandoned him and the former was white.</I><BR/><BR/>Look at that picture of <A HREF="http://www.nydailynews.com/img/2007/10/21/amd_obama-dad.jpg" REL="nofollow">Obama and his dad</A>. The only one he's ever had, apparently.<BR/><BR/>What do you see? I see a look I know, and I think most of us know. It's the look of a young kid excited to meet someone he's heard a million great things about. And the kid assumes, naively, that this person is a decent person who actually cares about his son, unaware completely that this guy just sees <I>him</I> as some spawn he dropped off with an ugly white woman during a temproary stay in Hawaii.<BR/><BR/>If Obama's mother had been honest she would have told him that his father was a no-good worthless sonuvabitch who got when the gettin' was good. But we all know <I>that</I> kind of woman, and we don't like her, and for good reason. If Barry Jr. is told that his father is no good, then what would that do to him?<BR/><BR/>No, Stanley lied to her son not to protect his father but to protect her son. The irony, though, was that Barry Jr. grew up glorifying the man and the race that abandoned him, while pissing on the race that actually bothered to care for him.<BR/><BR/>If I was half one race and half another, I think I would grow up wanting to favor the race which stood by me. But that's not how things work in this world. Barry Jr, like a lot of people, grew up to glorify his minority half for some reason. Because they're the underdog? Because it's his dad's race? Because of his name? Because it's the race he most feels in his blood?<BR/><BR/>Then again, given his close ties to George Soros and a lot of other white money men, maybe Obama really doesn't care about his black half. Maybe he's just another one-worlder in bed with the establishment who is using his race to tie up the Dem vote. Maybe he's just here to suck this country dry and then toss it over his shoulder like an empty beer can, for reasons that have nothing to do with race.<BR/><BR/>What, you expected him to tell us that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-42281065937307585262008-09-06T08:50:00.000-07:002008-09-06T08:50:00.000-07:00"...and many white scientists/government officals ...<I>"...and many white scientists/government officals believe that AIDS was created as a biological weapon."<BR/><BR/>I only ever heard two well known people express that opinion - Reverend Wright and Frank Zappa, neither of whom are (were) scientists or government officials.</I><BR/><BR/>For well-known people, there's also <A HREF="http://www.americanthinker.com/2007/11/come_on_cosby_its_time_to_come.html" REL="nofollow">Bill Cosby, Spike Lee</A>, <A HREF="http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Rumor_in_African_American_culture#AIDS" REL="nofollow">Louis Farrakhan, and Will Smith</A> (who actually interviewed at MIT, out of high school).

Since when is a woman getting pregnant at optimal fertility a bad thing? The average American female has menarche at 10 years 3 months. Her fertility drops as she ages past her teens, and the chance of birth complications increases as she gets older. <BR/><BR/>Having your first baby twenty or more years after nature allows you to is bad science as well as bad social policy. If nature intended for 30 year old women to have their first kids it wouldn't have made them with such fat asses and saggy tits. <BR/><BR/>I shouldn't have to explain this to adults. The young Palin girl is going to be happier and have a more rewarding life than the bitter cat hoarding spinsters and wannabe men that largely comprise today's working age female cohort. <BR/><BR/>And there is another angle: The girl is, what, 18? That's 70 years of life expectancy ahead of her, in a country with an eleventy trillion dollar federal debt. Think about how much the world has changed since 1938, and how much it will change in the next 70 years. My generation has been told since birth not to expect that there will be government pensions when we retire. I'd bet on that. The state, which provides so generously for today's women, probably won't be there in 70, or 50, or even 25 years, not the way it is today anyway. Women should start thinking loooooooong term about matters like who will look after them when they are vulnerable. Kids may be seen as a liability today, but that is an anomaly that will pass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-14982902952275767532008-09-05T08:19:00.000-07:002008-09-05T08:19:00.000-07:00John Bergstrom clarifies the point:http://www.atta...John Bergstrom clarifies the point:<BR/>http://www.attackcartoons.com/article.php?story=200809020731335#commentsBaloohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08245765878554696634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-38220526146736828712008-09-05T04:30:00.000-07:002008-09-05T04:30:00.000-07:00"HAHAHAHAHow the worm turns...Hillary now back in ..."HAHAHAHA<BR/><BR/>How the worm turns...Hillary now back in the catbird seat, with Obama coming to her and begging favors from her..."<BR/><BR/>My take is Hil, who I would have preferred over Obama, is hoping McCain and the babe come in. That would make Obama unsavoury for the next election cycle. Even the DNC knows they cannot run another "Obama the Messiah" media blitz without some of the dunces noticing. <BR/><BR/>On top Hil owes Obama nothing. He beat her through media bias and collusion, and by playing the primaries, as Steve and others have pointed out. Without all this stealth she would have been the nominee, and I'm not sure McCain/TheBabe would have been enough to prevent her becoming the next prez.<BR/><BR/>So Hil is going to support him enough so that she does not alienate the DNC structure which she needs for 2012. Then its going to be Hil against TheBabe, almost like a beauty contest for middle aged women. Beauty against brains. We all know how that works out with men.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-19509842822983693212008-09-05T02:16:00.000-07:002008-09-05T02:16:00.000-07:00Testing99Thanks for the correction on what I didn'...Testing99<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the correction on what I didn't see as a tourist. But I still had the impression that the French have control of their crime policies, and can tighten up where and when it becomes necessary. I saw a few neighborhoods where at least half of the street population was African, and the commercial streets were busy, not boarded up and deserted as in many commercial streets in the black sections of Washington. I tried to get out beyond the usual tourist quarters, although I did not see the far suburbs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-59148396384150472232008-09-05T01:18:00.000-07:002008-09-05T01:18:00.000-07:00HAHAHAHAHow the worm turns...Hillary now back in t...HAHAHAHA<BR/><BR/>How the worm turns...Hillary now back in the catbird seat, with Obama coming to her and begging favors from her...<BR/><BR/>http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/09/05/america/05dems.php<BR/><BR/>Advisers to Clinton, who has been on vacation this week, said that she stands ready to help the Obama-Biden ticket, but they urged not to overestimate the effect she could have, noting that she had other commitments this fall, like campaigning and raising money for Senate candidates.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
