That doesn't make sense. A complete moron like Palin, given her intellectual inability, will be easily swayed by (hopefully) saner technocrats and advisers. A intelligent lunatic like Thatcher, however, can do real damage (which she did).

Jakob, please, at least a picture that isn't all about the eye contact. :?

(edit: realizing the irony - but a cartoon eye doesn't have the same effect, here at least.)

No, stupid is more dangerous. At least a smart misanthrope, like Lex Luthor won't ruin the world for themselves whereas a delusional moron like Palin is like a mentally ret*d version of the joker - dangerous and unpredictable.

I know that picture terrifies me every time I look at it. but I think it sums up my new position
as a conservative anti-intellectual nicely don't you?

(I realize there are smart conservatives, I hope you don't think I am one of you :wink: )

Uh, wrong as hell. Idiots are easily mainpulated, genius lunatics aren't. Some of the worst monsters in history weren't morons, they were intelligent lunatics - paranoid Stalin or megalomanical Hitler weren't idiots, they were lunatics.

@ Master_Pedant, Benbob, JakobVirgil

Looks more like Sarah Palin has demonstrated that she is more intelligent than the three of you put together.

:roll:

The three of you are going bananas about how scary she is and all she has done is visit historical sites, she hasn't announced she is running. You three are acting deranged, quite frankly it's hysterical.

Sarah Palin has proven once and for all that for some reason whenever liberals hear her name they either:
1. Run around like chickens with their heads cut off.
2. Start drooling and enter on hate filled rants.
3. Start obsessing over her and try to come up with anything to smear her.
4. Start trying to bash her and every conservative out there.

So you want to say you're acting like an adult, maybe you are, like a drunken fool of an adult that is.

Really the fact she was willing to give up power rather than become corrupt (her leaving office was coupled with a change in Alaska Law to prevent junk lawsuits from being used to financially ruin someone just with lawyer fees defending themselves), that would have benefitted her if she had stayed in office. Instead she chose to not become corrupt, I respect that. I think she was able to do something that quite frankly I don't any of you bashing her could do.

Idiots can be manipulated, sure, but in Palins case the manipulators are likely to be nihilists from the Christian Right. And whats to say Margret was insane? I mean sure she wasn't nice, but she was effective at what she set out to do. Palin is a puppet that can easily be manipulated by intelligent lunatics.

First you claim she is as dumb as a box of rocks, now you claim she is an evil mastermind. Looks more like it is neither, and you're simply deranged like many other liberals when it comes to Sarah Palin.

Some people seem to think that the UK could and should have gotten by on 1880s technology for a second century.

Dox47 has commented that US liberals miss you so much when you're gone because you represent a virtual punching bag given how unreflective and scripted your Republican talking points are. While I have no insight into the inner workings of most US liberals here, I can tell you that this Canadian social democrat really can't stand you. I mean, there's next to no point debating when A) You don't really read what other people say, and B) All your responses are unoriginal and brainlessly hyper-partisan. Were I not an obsessive debater I would have stopped doing this a long time ago.

If you had any cursory interest in reading or weren't a grossly intellectually dishonest Con Artist then you would easily have found out that I have been vocally arguing that she's LESS DANGEROUS than Thatcher throughout my posts in this thread.

Strictly speaking, I've been EXTREMELY sober by the standards of internet discussions here. Hell, I've been a cyber teetotaller.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Bozo Palin had a history of corruption before resigning. And she resigned right before she would have to make tough decisions over state budget cuts, that is to say RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A RECESSION. She quits when the going gets tough and cashes in by selling insipid junk, such as ignorant speeches or ghostwritten books, to unreflective hyper-partisans like you.
