The talking head National Socialists will be positively apoplectic about this over the next few days.
I think we aught to someday consider electing Brewer as Potus.
In my opinion more blood will be spilled because of Obama than should be. That’s just my opinion but I think I am correct on this matter.
That would be the answer to my prayers. I don't hold out much hope but you never know. Maybe I'm a sucker for lost causes. I hope I'm not.
Your assessment was correct. Felt or feelings should only be used at weddings or funerals however and I never attend either.
They should also look at American Studies in American universities. The only “Bla-bla-bla” Studies where the professors actually hate the subject. In African Studies, Asian Studies, Environmental Studies, and so on, the professors love their subject. Not ‘American’ Studies.
He’s not running for Gov. He can do more as Sheriff.
Me too. Another woman with a pair (politically)
Actually, there are other arenas where ‘felt’ and ‘feelings’ should be used outside of weddings and funerals.
I worked in publishing for about 20 years. Much of our daily work entailed vigorously debating what words mean, how others will interpret them and what impression the overall body of text leaves.
Debating others when your position is not based on fact but on your own beliefs or ideology would normally entail using the words ‘I believe....’ This, however, would often backfire. I could use the word ‘believe’ as long as I didn’t really want to win the debate; otherwise, I should plan on using the word ‘feel’ or ‘felt’.
In the dance of conference room debate, vigorously debating from the stand point of belief would all-too-frequently result in the other debater affecting a wilting, oppressed posture as if failing under the onslaught of tireless ideology. So, I adopted their terminology and they often felt much more ‘comfortable’ speaking in terms of ‘feelings’ because those are wispy, gentle, ephemeral things unlike those nasty fence-post like beliefs that one can bark one’s shins upon.
Your brisk correction is a helpful reminder that I may encounter language instruction elsewhere as well and would do well to choose my dialect based on the locale more precisely.
This needs to be made the law of the land in all 50.
Love ya’ Gov. Brewer!
A conservative governor, with good communication skills is always a welcome candidate, JMHO.
We need the UN like a leper needs a needs a mirror. Toss their sorry asses out of this country.
Maybe Greece would take them, think of all the revenue (unpaid parking tickets) that they would bring in /s
Congratulations, Jan Brewer!
Man, is it ever refreshing to see (finally!) Republicans who refuse to run like scared bunny rabbits from the dying Democrat “mainstream” newsrooms. Sure, there’s still a few of those cowards around, but they are slowly but surely getting flushed down the toilet like scoured bowl stains.
“Six UN human rights experts released a statement earlier Tuesday saying all people have the right to learn about their own cultural and linguistic heritage, they said.”
Oh Oh Oh(waving hand frantically),I know where they can go to learn about Mexico!!
“He’s not running for Gov. He can do more as Sheriff.”
I thought that I heard he was running for gov. But I agree, he’s much more useful as Sheriff - and the gov in AZ is doing JUST FINE.
GOOD!!!!
bttt
Amen to that!
