I am not particularly a Palin fan but have to give her props for picking all the right issues and getting her message out in the last few weeks.

One of these weeks , she should do one of the Sunday talk shows. She has never had the confidence or ability to appear on one of those shows . . it is called swimming with the sharks.

When someone such as yourself wishes to use the death of a military person as a political statement, your true colors show. You're easy to size up because only a small minded person would be as disingenuous as you. Your disdain for the military shows in your post.

Amyone who declares a Jihad on America is my enemy. You do know what a Jihad is, don't you? As for the war, the war in Afghanistan was taken to the Terrorist. Most of all, since Obummer does not have a plan and wishes not to kill the Terrorist, the troops should be brought home. As my BIL stated the other day, they are in a ghithole and the only reason Obummer sent them there was for political reasons. This coming from someone who has served 20+ years in Special Forces.

As for your asinine remark concerning the Constitution, such a remark shows your ignorance. Most of all, are you an American Citizen? If so, do yourself a favor take some Political Science classes or better yet sit in some 11th & 12th grade government classes. Maybe that will help you understand what is written in the Constitution.

“One of these weeks , she should do one of the Sunday talk shows. She has never had the confidence or ability to appear on one of those shows . . it is called swimming with the sharks.”

Or maybe she just doesn’t think those shows are as important as you do. I have NEVER watched one - and if you look at the ratings, not a whole lot of other people do either. Just the elites who LOVE to hear themselves talk and impress each other.

How else do you explain the fact that Katie Couric has won FOUR, count ‘em, FOUR journalism awards in the last year - yet is last place in the ratings and is the least trusted news anchor in America?

These people in the media have a hyper-inflated opinion of their importance to the American people. BO made a mistake when he hitched his wagon to their star. Sure, they got him elected. But I think that was the last time the old media will have such an impact on a national election.

The Sunday morning shows started around 20 years ago and they’ll be gone within 5, I predict ...

I would love to see a well-informed , confident Conservative be able to go on Meet the Press or George Stephanopolos and be able to beat the liberals at their own game. It can be done . .and I have seen it done by Reagan, Kemp, Limbaugh, and others.

I am not sure Palin would ever be able to go one-on-one with a David Gregory . . but I sure hope she would like to see her try.

Listen you vile little bottom feeder, those men and women are making sacrifices because that is what is needed to keep your cowardly a$$ free. I personally don’t think they should bother because it’s obvious that you don’t deserve that freedom, you’re too dumb to exsist.

Public fool? That would be you and you would never have the honor of being my friend. I am friend with REAL AMERICANS.

The Federalist Papers were written by those who wished to get the Constitution ratified - John Jay, Alexander Hamilton, and the Father of the Constitution, James Madison.

Read the Anti-Federalist writings, they predicted we would have the government we have today.

As for promoting yourself, I’m not interested in Ron Paul and most Freepers don’t care for him and his anti-military rhetoric or his isolationist ideas.

Now move along, and fyi, I am having a wonderful evening.

Sarah Palin is perhaps the last human being left in the political landscape.

As for the AP, they're worthless scum, but that should only be news to the losers that works in that cesspool.

I have given one of those precious souls who have died for your worthless hide. I have suffered the loss of a young Marine, so I know what it is like. And yes, I’m worth it, you however, are not.

And just where did I “question military families?”

Your first post in this thread took the position that pictures of dead soldiers should be published despite the wishes of families that they be suppressed.

That was the whole point of the article. You took the contrary position, thus the whole point of your participation in this thread is questioning military families. Sheesh. The "who, me?" manner in which you combine cluelessness and coyness, and cover it all over with posturing moral superiority, is textbook Paulestinian.

No Hank, the difference between us is that I understand that the freedom and individual rights you want don’t come free. Someone has to pay for those rights or you lose them. The fact that you don’t appreciate that tells me that you have never sacrificed anything. At least not anything that you loved or cherished.

There are more than enough millions of graphic photos of the horrors of war that the AP did not need to run photos of this single boy.

The AP was evil to run pictures of him in arrogant defiance of his families pleading. Your support of the AP’s nauseating decision is either similarly evil or stupid or misguided. I don’t care to know which it is, so don’t post me.

One could say that about abortion supporters who sue and complain when pictures of aborted babies and their body parts are exhibited and displayed!

“They will not be publishing pictures of the aftermath of the worse terrorist act on our soil on 9-11 , nor the graphic picture of what the terrorist have done and are still doing to our soldiers or civilians in the name of Allah”

This above quote shows the hypocrisy of the Leftist media.

No pics or videos of beheadings or mutilations by the terrorists...these pics are for political purposes, period.

...btw, Ron Paul is a nut, as are his ignorant followers.
