I wonder if they will wheel out Clint Eastwood this time.....he could do an interview with an empty chair....no wait a minute, he did that last time.

Maybe he could watch an imaginary television ...

His morals and family values say anything but conservative ...

737,000 - population of Alaska[/qtuoe]
It was 675 thousand and change when she was elected.

307,000 - population of Galveston, Texas.

:think:

I don't know where you went to school, but I would bet a graduate from The Center for Geographic Analysis Harvard University would have come up with a better comparison to Alaska's population :chuckle:
Chalk that up to a faulty memory on the point. I've addressed this before and for some reason I thought it was Galveston that I'd used as a comparison. It was actually Austin, Texas. Had Galveston on my mind...Galveston, oh Galveston.


Now, back to the point, which is that the entire state has a population smaller than a number of American cities. When Palin was elected a not inconsiderable number of cities would rank above Alaska in population.

New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Philly, Phoenix, San Antonio, San Diego, Dallas, San Jose, Austin, Jacksonville, Indianapolis, San Francisco, Columbus, Charlotte, El Paso, Seattle and Denver, Memphis are within spitting distance.

So while being a governor is an accomplishment, it's on the order of being mayor of El Paso (679k as of 2014). That's not nothing, but how many mayors of El Paso can you think of off the top of your head?

On Ivy League work. Getting in is the hard part. The rest is just volume. It's less impressive than grad school and more than a typical state experience.

I think that Sarah Palin knows that Donald Trump is NOT the best candidate for POTUS. If she doesn't, she's lost her mind. Regardless, I've lost all respect for her. I suspect her motives were revenge against the establishment GOP. I still have hopes for Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio.

I never said how soon. Only eventually, because the very people you have who will stand up to call thing as they are and fight against what's coming invariably are treated as enemies of the state (which, in fact, they are).

It depends on the birth rate of the Muslims. Once they reach 60% or more of the population, sharia law is a certainty. It will first come to limited neighborhoods which will grow larger.

Oh, there's a reason why these places hire staff as young as they do, just like pub chains do. They can take advantage, offer crap wages and no grievance procedures because staff turnover runs like a conveyor belt...

They want to stay in business. You call it taking advantage of. Others call it job experience or supplemental retirement income. The pub chains would all close their doors as soon as it cut seriously into the owners savings account if they offered wages like $15 an hour. Brews are already costly due to union run beer manufacturing. Charge 15 pounds for a pint and see what happens.

In case the imagery was lost on some. This pic is from fast times at ridgemont high. Sean is the class clown and loser. He has no work ethic nor life ethic for that matter. He was just visiting the store in this scene but ended up working at a fried fish place. Why would you pay him a living wage? He isn't worth it.

Hmm. No sharia law in Turkey.
Most Western grown Muslims only want the civil end of that anyway and only for their own, not for everyone. And, from a Pew study, "in Eastern Europe and Central Asia – including Turkey (12%), Kazakhstan (10%) and Azerbaijan (8%) – relatively few favor the implementation of sharia law" at all.

I am fully aware that your government is not (at least not yet) a communist form of socialism but, even British economists call the UK democratic socialism... I mean really do you intend to assert that the Labour party is not a socialist party?. I have no rub with your government system if you are happy with it but, I do however take just as much offense to you Brits throwing stones at our form of governing (capitalism) and have no qualms telling you to mind your own affairs when you feel the need to take jabs at it. Nobody is saying one is better than the other, both have their pro's & con's but, please... attempting to point the finger at us asserting that your government is so much better than ours for this reason, or that, is just rubbish. If you don't believe the UK is a form of socialism than maybe you will believe a British economist writing about it in the BBC.

er...ah...no it's you guys who throw every manner of scorn on our governments. Why won't you let it sink into your brain, socialism is not communism...there is a block there, you are brainwashed.

I think our government sucks RM, so it's hardly a case of pointing the finger and saying the UK's is so much better than yours because it isn't. It's quite true in so much as the labour party is socialist to an extend but not anywhere near how it used to be and there's precious little difference between any of the main parties nowadays. We're a 'democracy' in name only frankly...

The difference is we don't trust ANY of them further than we could throw them, but Americans really BELIEVE in their system....even though events on the news channels would indicate serious fault lines.

Hmm. No sharia law in Turkey.

Has turkey always been part of Islam? Yes. All secular governments with a Muslim dominated population have been under Muslim control since their Mohammedian conquest. They have already had a taste of sharia law and want to instead live in the 21st century.

The ones immigrating to Europe want to live under sharia and don't care for modernizing. Europe was a Muslim goal all the way up to the Ottoman empire. If Europe was ever under Muslim control, all the self esteem they lost in the modern age will come flooding back.

Uh, yeah CS. Give it a few decades or so and the UK will be run by a sheikh or something and we'll all have to go pray in a mosque...

Utterly beyond bizarre...

Like rock and roll, people have been trying to write Britain's obituary for quite a long time.
