Re: Unrest in Egypt
I'm not sure that young Americans are any less appreciative of Democracy than older generations. Its just the tools available, the nature of that support and the battlefield on which Democracy is fought for has changed.
Even so, I would say we as Americans have reasons to be more supportive of the efforts of past generations.

That's great and all...but they weren't talking about Americans.

Re: Unrest in Egypt
Look at how blurry the supposed "original" looks around the face, could you prove that the Palin one isn't the correct one with some actual proof? Perhaps some video of the "original" being taken?

This interpetation tells me a lot more about you than anything else.
BTW you also might want to check in with the (few) smart people on your side. Even they've sucked all they can out of that trope and her useful idiot supporters and now they're abandoning her.

Re: Unrest in Egypt
Considering that Republicans are trying to win it through any means necessary, why would they let her run?

And anyway, reality is just a theory. Alternative theories should also be taught in our classrooms.

Re: Unrest in Egypt
well, that's the point. I know I'm not smart, cause I'm conservative, but even I know she isn't a serious presidential, gubernatorial, senatorial, or any other kind of candidate. She's nobody, politically speaking. She's the Ralph Nader of the right wing, not really worth obsessing about.

you guys just carry on. I'm here to help, but that's not really worth my time. Nobody's going to make you take the pic down from your bedroom wall, whether or not it's actual.Look at how blurry the supposed "original" looks around the face, could you prove that the Palin one isn't the correct one with some actual proof?

Re: Unrest in Egypt
Hey, Dubya has Nader to thank for his presidency. You can be worthless and still influential.
There are plenty of smart conservatives so don't play that particular victim card. It's just that a lot of the people who have hijacked the term "conservative" in the US over the last 30 years are neither smart nor conservative. Though a few of them who hijacked the term are very smart. Rush rolls in dough while his listeners live on gummint cheese. He's smart like P.T. Barnum.
But you can't just disavow Palin. She was, god help us, the GOP VP nominee and she's polling second among their 2012 hopefuls. There's an entire cottage industry built around her perpetual state of whining, entitled victimhood. And until it became inconvenient the right nurtured that because it got their base votin' mad.
You made that bed. Now lie in it.

Seemed like a nonsequitor to me (and that's why I called it out) but...was Bob talking about how an Egyptian older generation sacrificed so much for Democracy?

Re: Unrest in Egypt
I'm pretty sure Bob misunderstood leswp1's original statement, which was about the Egypt. If the Egyptian older generation sacrificed for anything it was Nasser, Pan-Arab Nationalism, and Socialism, and I don't think Bob's a big fan of those things.
It was a case of premature Greatest Ejaculation.

Re: Unrest in Egypt
I'd be curious for you to explain what you mean by the tools available, nature of that support, and battlefield on wich Democracy is fought play into young Americans being as appreciative of Democracy as older generations. I think that young Americans have grown up in an economically successful era where they haven't had to concern themselves about such things, as democracy around them has never been under any major outward threat, so I don't think a lot of them even really think about it much. Yes, there are some that do, but those are the exceptions in my experience. Of course part of it is just maturing and getting older and gaining more perspective on life in general.

Re: Unrest in Egypt
I'm all confused. I was simply agreeing with your knowledge of my IQ. What "card" are you referring to?
Re: Unrest in Egypt
Certainly Egypt's youth and older generations are different and have had different experiences than those in Western nations, including the U.S.
