And I very well have my right to point out here when, yes, the regularly used term is ‘concern trolls’ who support other candidates go on with all kinds of sexist reasons as to why they might like Palin, but she won’t or shouldn’t run.

That’s how FR works.

UT’s suit says Fawcett’s trust specified that “all of (her) artwork and any objects of art” would go to the university upon her death. O’Neal may have “converted” other works of art from her collection, according to the suit.

Gee, that would be artwork that belonged to her at the time of her death, not any artwork of her that existed at the time of her death, or artwork that she gave away before the time of her death.

UT = abbreviation of "hopelessly greedy."

Sexist?? Really? You call it “sexist” for women to be concerned about family? To be concerned about income? To be concerned about having your family (including young children) see you savaged time and time again for a national audience? For being concerned how that might emotionally affect those young children? Sexist? I’d call it prioritizing: family first.

As I said: It’s just an opinion. I can’t imagine why one person’s opinion (someone you don’t know at all) would put such a twist in your knickers.

[9YearLurker]

Nobody ever voices such “concerns” for male politicians, but somehow to have a family and hold elective office is too much for a woman? Please—that’s as sexist as it gets!

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Ease up.

You’re reading too much into honest discussion and responding inappropriately by using hurtful terms to describe others. It makes you look shrill and less sure of your candidate and in turn her candidacy appears less credible.

It’s what’s called “digging a hole.”

[9YearLurker]

So you think Perry supporters should be advising that the li’l lady Gov. Palin shouldn’t and won’t run for office because she’s got to take care of her family and really belongs more as a cheerleader over on the sidelines while the big boys run the country instead?

[Clara Lou]

Okey dokey. Whatever you say. o_O

[Clara Lou]

I did not “advise”! I predicted what I thought Palin would do: not run.

[Theodore R.]

How did Perry grow up so poor if his father was able to take him in 1961 to the Sam Rayburn funeral in Bonham, which is some distance from Paint Creek? There must have been discretionary funds there for big events.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I think your mood would be much improved if Sarah Palin made her decision about running known.

That’s all.

Let’s just discuss the candidates and not each other.

[Clara Lou]

Important question, eh? We need to root out the real truth about this. How poor is “poor”? And do poor people ever decide to spend money on something besides food and housing? And if they do, are they not really poor? Do poor people ever sacrifice for principle? Or the for welfare and education of their young?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

How did Perry grow up so poor if his father was able to take him in 1961 to the Sam Rayburn funeral in Bonham, which is some distance from Paint Creek? There must have been discretionary funds there for big events.

Perhaps it was important enough to get there. What a question.

[9YearLurker]

Who’s getting personal now?

I’m sorry I came to your defense earlier today.

"University faculty and their allies should join the reform efforts and recommend ways to innovate, improve graduation rates, and enhance accountability and efficiency at Texas colleges and universities,” Miner said. “We all have an obligation to meet the needs of Texas students, employers, taxpayers and our fast-growing economy. Resisting reform and accountability is an unsustainable recipe for mediocrity and stagnation. Texas deserves better."

University of Texas at Austin College of Liberal Arts Dean Randy Diehl issued a report blasting

UT Austin is as liberal as any college can be, and if they have a problem with Gov Perry, I like him even more. If the colleges and universities think they know best, they are badly fooled. Kinda like some FReepers who follow your threads.....

[KevinDavis]

I think you are right... Imagine the hell her kids would go through if she runs for President.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I appreciate very much what you did for me. It was very brave and kind.

Please don’t be upset. I watched the exchange go on and it was hurtful to see two FReepers who should be screaming at the Left at odds.

I felt you needed to reflect. Please accept my apology.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Thanks Arrowhead1952.

The Left has built quite an army.

We need to recognize our own and unite....like they’re doing.

I see in Rick Perry someone who can unite and bring forces to bear against this administration and the superstructure of groups that have put it in power.

Voter turn out is key.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

....Imagine the hell her kids would go through if she runs for President.

I think her kids will do just fine if she ran. They've grown up with her campaigning and all that has come with it. It's even given them springboards to more. They've learned how to roll with the punches and laugh at the media like their mother.

If showing people what fools, liars and nasty people the "lamestream" media is, is all Sarah Palin ever did, it would be a great gift and one we should not squander or forget.

[Redbob]

University presidents want anything BUT accountability.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

And they get paid the big bucks to keep it under wraps!!
