Since in the past he has posted dozens comments about his penis )or comments that whined that I didn't comment about his penis comments), I let them sit in the spam filter un-read. The "unthinkin' one", to borrow a phrase from RN, has a hobby, at least. I suppose we can be thankful for that.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1327826536005692170.post-80199558501113641842013-11-29T20:13:35.269-08:002013-11-29T20:13:35.269-08:00How 'bout predictably unpredictable?

I kinda like the sound of that one.......As far as I'm concerned, I'm to the left of Obama on gay marriage, civil liberties, and immigration, and to the right of him on healthcare, energy, and the deficit (Bowles-Simpson, I mostly support that type of approach). So, yeah, I guess that I'm more or less a centrist.Will "take no prisoners" Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02315659209094683602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1327826536005692170.post-78432966030571126972013-11-29T18:21:17.397-08:002013-11-29T18:21:17.397-08:00BB: True... but only to a point.

But the position they defend happens to be one that is toward the center.<br /><br />Or on the better side, some moderates are quite predictable (rather than unpredictable). Like Will here... who does a pretty good job with having consistency and principle driving his political views. Such leads to predictability.<br />dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1327826536005692170.post-69696984242431684832013-11-29T13:04:52.502-08:002013-11-29T13:04:52.502-08:00IMO, moderates are disliked by partisans for a cou...IMO, moderates are disliked by partisans for a couple of reasons:<br />they are unpredictable, not following any party line, and<br />partisan folk suffer the old dictum, "if you're not with us,<br />you're against us."

(the guy who likes to send piles of comments to both our blogs even though they never get posted). He has a lot in common with Sarah Palin, it appears.

Thanks.......I will check her out, Russ. As you know, I have a very favorable opinion of Mr. Huntsman (though I still wish that he would look at the actual evidence pertaining to global warming; the satellite data, the ARGO data, the data from the University of Illinois Arctic Science Research Center, the hurricane data from FSU, etc. and not be quite so differential to "officialdom").Will "take no prisoners" Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02315659209094683602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1327826536005692170.post-47084117440791912022013-11-28T11:15:06.070-08:002013-11-28T11:15:06.070-08:00

Here's why. A wide open mind can and often does collect a lot of junk and clutter. An open mind in and of itself does not mean that said open mind is actually thinking. <br /><br />My premise is that Sarah Palin in fact has an open mind albeit an unthinkin.one. She has collected a lot of junk and since her mind is not actively thinking she is easily manipulated by others smarter than herself. Thus the wonderful platitudes loved by the TP choir.<br /><br />Yep, an active and thinking mind is what one wants to consistently maintain. For the rest, well, a trip to Wasilla and you will be able to see Russia from Sarah's porch.Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.com
