"As a Mom with a Child with Down Syndrome, Sarah Palin Makes me Shriek!

As a working mom with a child with Down syndrome, Sarah Palin makes me shriek

By Amy Silverman
published: September 11, 2008

A couple of Fridays ago, I woke up, staggered into the kitchen for my morning Diet Coke...>>>snip

I immediately started shrieking, and didn't stop for a week.

"I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it! I KNEW John McCain couldn't resist putting a baby with Down syndrome up there on the national stage — that opportunist!!"

I paced the kitchen with my husband at my heels, admonishing me to keep my voice down so I didn't wake the kids. I gave him a dirty look and paused to take a breath. And then it happened. I said it.

"And what the **** does this woman think she's doing; does she have any idea what it takes to raise a kid with Down syndrome? She thinks she can be vice president and take care of that baby?"

I stopped, startling myself, and clapped my hand over my own mouth. Where had that come from?

How Sarah Palin parents her kids is absolutely none of my business. I know that. At least, the rational me knows that. I mean, it's not like I want to hear what Palin thinks of my life.

>>>snip



I can't indulge in symbolism — not this week, anyway. I don't have time. The world's going to shit. The air here in Phoenix is so thick with pollution it hurts to breathe. The other day I took a sip of tap water that tasted so bad I spit it out. Later this week, I have to go to Sophie's public school to try to convince everyone from the principal on down that my kindergartner's safety is in jeopardy. She keeps escaping from the playground at recess. They say there's no money for a part-time aide. I get that. This year, budget cuts cost the school its full-time librarian.

And you expect me to rely on Sarah Palin, a woman who wants to ban books and teach creationism, and John McCain, a man who wants to ban government spending on almost everything but war, to help me take care of my kids?

>>>snip

I suppose Obama will have Michelle stop by twice a day to run errands and watch her kid at school??  Are these people are just stupid, or what??   :banghead: At least with McCain/Palin you'd have some chance that teachers are actually expected to teach your kids, not just indoctrinate them.   ::) ::)

Now, that really disappoints me.

In fact, it truly saddens me.

The cuckoo primitive is a first-tier primitive, and usually lights up bonfires (or throws more wood onto an already-burning one) with a great deal more intellectual and even commonsensical content.

I'm going to assume this is just a momentary aberration on the part of the cuckoo primitive, a one-time anomaly, but I guess I'm going to have to pay more attention to her, rather than just routinely assuming, without checking, that the cuckoo primitive said something worthwhile.

Damn.

I hate it when a primitive lets me down.

If she'd have never mentioned Trig, and not had him at the Damn convention, those ****in' idiots would be bitching about her trying to hide him away from all of the "Repugs".

I swear, I hate these f'n people.  :censored:

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Funny thing that whenever they all gather about to sing songs and make merriment on the island all they ever talk about is how wonderful they are for caring about everyone.

Then a strange thing happens,they leave the congregation and suddenly every thought they have ultimately leads to and ends with "ME!"

We don't expect you to reply on her for anything, DUmbass. It's not the VP's Damn job to babysit you or your family. If you're really that stupid, how do you exist?

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

They are beyond vile if there is such a thing.
