Bristol Palin attacks Obama for listening to his daughters.

Divorce lawyer? She has never been married.

You're right. Ignore the adjective.

[Sprightly]

According to papers filed by her divorce lawyer she is.

I think that you know that she didn't marry. So which document do you mean? Custody?

Yesss

[Sprightly]

Yesss

Do you have a link to that document? Or a reliable source of information?

Really, EmDot?

First, the story doesn't even make sense.


"Apparently, Levi wanted $300 a month for Tripp's health insurance. Except now we find out that his son doesn't need it. But one wonders how the baby got enrolled in the Curyung Tribal Council, within the Bristol Bay Native Association consortium."

But the poorly scanned and posted document says that Johnson wanted credit for $300 for insurance that he paid.

I hope that you do not consider ZapIt -- a "celebrity" rag to be a reliable source of information. But if so, so be it.

I didn't necessarily pay attention to what ZapIt wrote. My attention was on the scanned legal document stating that Johnson wasn't entitled to a $300 credit because the baby was enrolled as a tribal member under the Bristol Bay Native Association consortium for his health care. The law firm's pertinent information is sideways on the scanned document. The case # is also included at the bottom of the first scanned page. Just because it's posted by ZapIt, doesn't negate the fact that it's a scan of a legal document.

Unless you can provide different information, I'll stick to my claim that Palin is using government funds, though I won't use the "sucking from the government teat" crass statement.

[Sprightly]

I'm sure that it is a very reliable source. I'm sure that the document been fully vetted for accuracy. The child gets his health insurance from the federal and/or state government.

There are few people that I admire as I do Dr. Carson. I to have heard him speak and his is an inspirational story. But he did say that he almost killed someone -- with a knife -- ironically enough.

Another youngster angered me, and I had a large camping knife and I tried to stab him in the abdomen, and fortunately he had on a large metal belt buckle under his clothing and the knife blade struck with such force that it broke and he fled in terror. But, I was more terrified as I recognized that I was trying to kill somebody over nothing. This was after I had turned my grades around. I was an A student at that time, but I realized at that moment that with a temper like that, my options were three: reform school, jail or the grave. None of the options appealed to me. So, I just locked myself up in the bathroom and I started praying and I said, "Lord, I can't deal with this temper." And, I picked up my Bible and I started reading from the Book of Proverbs. That was the first day that I started doing it, and I've been doing it every day since then because it had all these verses in it about anger, and it seemed like they were all applicable to me. And, while I was there, I had a revelation and that revelation was that the reason I was always angry is because I was always in the center of the equation. So, just step out of the center of the equation and then everything won't be directed at you, and then you won't be angry, and also, you'll be able to look at things from other people's points of view. Also, where I lived, you know, it was sort of like a macho thing. You get angry, you kick down the wall and punch in the window and it makes you into a big man. But, I came to understand that when you react like that, it actually is a sign of weakness because it means that other people and the environment can control you, and I decided that I didn't want to be that easily controlled. And, I've never had another problem with temper since that day.

And by the way, I have never tried to kill anyone.

I guess I missed that part, You are right. Sorry

First, you are baseless. There are more white babies born out of wedlock. Most of the money from the dole goes into white community. Stats are for bigots.

Funny, you're no brighter now than you were before, Valleyguy. First off, who mentioned anything about money? I certainly didn't. Secondly, as of 2010, 66% of black kids lived in single parent families. It was 24% for whites. Even you should be able to figure out that two thirds is much more than one quarter. Apparently, though, you'd rather call people names than try to figure out why this is the case.

You got to love the hypocrisy of the far right... where we go with Bristol Palin (raising a kid without a father, which is fine by republicans if it's one of them doing it) attacking a black man (who happens to have stuck around raising his kids, much to the hatred of the religious right and republicans)

Then finally of course, the right just goes nuts anytime someone mentions Bristol Palin in a negative light, even though she is 21, and even though Bristol is one running her mouth.

You forgot Farakhan or however it's spelled.

But you hit a point that is used many times in this forum. Some extremist is presented to be the boogeyman and represent the thought, feelings and actions of the other side. It is a lot easier to link a crazy person to a cause or to label a group than it is to actually have a meaningful, thought-provoking conversation about any particular subject.

I remember one post awhile back when the poster (I'm sorry - I tried looking it up but forgot who it was) said that many of us are too lazy to find the truth. We'd rather just listen when someone says something agreeable. The laziness comes when we close our minds and do not listen to opposing views. Thus there is no growth, but only stagnant minds. The TV media feed into that laziness with providing the least informative and most stimulating broadcasts.
