Just reading about obamacaree's new 63 dollar fee/tax imposed on employers for each person they employ. Any wagers is to whether it remains 'temporary'?

Oregon Company to Sell Drone Defense Technology to Public

I wonder how long it will take the DHS to compile a list of people who purchase these and classify them as a domestic terrorist?

So what did Diablo do to merit a suspension? I mean I know why I would suspend him, but my thoughts are so rarely congruent with rcade's.

J/K, D, if you're lurking out there.

I was never a big fan but I just heard perhaps the best speech ever from someone at cpac.

the speaker's name was Sarah Palin and it's a shame that so many are so biased and bigoted that they would not even listen while at the same time demean others for not spending an hour on msnbc. She said some things about politicians that I'm betting even Danni would agree with because she included more than several republicans in her condemnation.

The N word is never allowed here. Use "n-----" if it is from a current news quote by a famous person or a historic quote. Otherwise, don't use it.

As a person who fancies himself a bit of a linguist, this saddens me, my blog-owning friend. But thanks for the clarity.

PA, you'd have been better off going with "Uncle Tom." : )

If you want to post here, you will abide by the rules -- particularly obvious no brainers like avoiding that word.

I'm shocked and appalled that several posters used the n-word. I knew it was going to be deleted immediately.

I choose my words carefully and if you look you are incorrect.

The word I used has no specific defined meaning in merriam-webster.

If your going to make up capricious rules you need to post them.

I didn't accuse you. Relax.

"Who in the hell in this day and age would use the N word?"

Lil Wayne, currently being praised on another thread?

The fact you misspelled it the first time with an "a" instead of an "e" has absolutely no bearing on this discussion.

The whole argument you were making was dumb. Random Wikipedia edits and random idiots on Twitter are not representative of all liberals. There's no way to know that most of those people are liberals. They could be sock puppets or trolls.

It's a fool's game to quote nobodies to make the other side look bad.

No it wasn't the article I posted on Mia Love made my point in spades! oops

The Mia Love article was about things written in anonymous Wikipedia edits, not stuff said by anybody who matters.

Anyone can play the game of using random Internet idiots to make the other side look bad.

So the quality of speakers at Cpap isn't very good is what you're saying. Every time Palin speaks, a Democrat gets elected.

Just ask Obama.

Aflac, we leftes don't need anyone to tell us what to think, no matter what Hannity has told you to think.

What gets me is that PA didn't say that any specific black person is a [N-word moderated] but that liberals would call a black candidate by that name. (Yeah, shut up with your "I didn't use that word" silliness; be honest and own the point you were making.) That seems to me different. And then I commented on its existence, and off we went. Fair enough, it's your site, and I'm mostly down with the moderation policy. But really? This reminds me of an article I read years ago about an event in California. It seems a professor had given a speech on, or featuring a discussion of, the worst three words in the English language: kike, gook, and the N-word. Yep, that's how the paper reported it, in an article about a talk on the use of language.

hey aflac- Racklin has the same issue she slams Obama for. Just another do as I say , not as I do, Republican:

But, her most ridiculous moment of all ridiculousness had to be when the jabbering hockey-momming-lip-glossing-
pit-grizzley-bullying 2008 reject read an Obama-Teleprompter joke, throwing out there a tired four-year old remark to the effect, "Hey Mr. President, its time to step away from the teleprompter and do your job." Nothing new here, just some old rotted raw meat for the crowd, like the rest of her speech, but the amazing thing was, she read her Obama teleprompter joke FROM A TELEPROMPTER.

Yes, just before she was to take her turn with the talky-hatey thing, something very odd happened, for the first time all day. The stage crew appeared and set up … teleprompters. NO ONE had used them up to this point, they weren't even on or near the stage for anyone else at all. Not even Michele "one L, two crazy eyes" Bachmann had used a teleprompter til then, but Sarah had to have them, because her speech was too long to have written on her hands. Talk about your choots-pah!
