Can you feel it yet?

Don't worry. That'll all change the first time he fcuks something up.

The real illusion that some people are holding onto is that there are many here who bought into the "messiah" mythology. Its almost as if they need that delusion to make the "I told you so" seem as sweet if/when Obama falls short of expectation (as he's bound to do in one way or other).

Yet, followers of McCain aren't sheep in the same way...

I'm not sure if the excitement over Sarah Palin's VP nomination can be explained in terms other than that

Now she can go back to Alaska, finish her term of office and go back to hunting moose from a helicopter.

You have a poor grasp of the facts. No one here is shooting moose from a helicopter - at least not legally.

You have a poor sense of humour. That really wasn't intended to be taken as a serious comment.

I just think she (Palin) is a weird and wacky individual who does weird and wacky things. I personally think that modern-day hunting for sport is a pretty wacky thing to do.

Ah ha. Many people think marrying someone else of the same sex is a wacky thing to do too...

FWIW, I "don't get" the whole hunting and fishing thing either. It's a complete mystery to me, and I've been around it my whole life. But I don't judge those who involve themselves in it. As long as it doesn't result in higher taxes or expenses for me, I just don't care about hunting one way or another.

I'm sure they do. But aside from a petty gotcha there isn't really any similarity whatsoever between those issues.

Heck, I feel so inspired. And, everytime when I see Obama I just want to hug him!

How so?? It's about judging people based on beliefs and lifestyle choices. No difference at all.

What dies as a result of a homosexual marriage?

I have nothing against hunting as a legitimate sport and or source of food, but the fucktards that shoot things just to see them die, that's wacked.

FYI - I do NOT believe that Palin fits in the wackjob hunting profile.

Homosexual lifestyle seems to distress the immune system greatly (as homosexuals do have a higher propensity for all VD's, including Hep-B and AIDS).

Some would argue "traditional values" die as a result of ** marriage. Personally, I view "traditional values" as fascist bullshit - but not everyone does.

What's the difference? The outcome is the same: dead animal.

My comment was little more than "she can go back where she came from". I could care less what she does there - just that she's out of the national public eye.

Prop 8, which our discussion about same-sex marriage in the other thread pertains to involves legislating against people who practice a gay lifestyle. Again - not really the same.

You're relativizing these issues. Again - they aren't the same.

Noone is proposing exciting new forms of for-sport hunting along the lines of "The Most Dangerous Game"

Are you sure? There have been several "shoot a real animal over the internet" sites spring up.
