I feel stupider for having watched her speech. It is really just a long tirade against Obama and using her son as a prop.
In America, this stuff sells and its popular.
Then your country is in deep shit. She blatantly lied her way through that speech. BLATANTLY.
1) McCain's tax cuts are for the wealthy. The average red-stater will save more money under Obama
2) She doesn't believe in Global Warming, so pretending to be a green candidate is stupid.
3) SHE SUPPORTED THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE.
These aren't complex points.
And in America, the vast majority of people are very non-complex people who don't understand the basics, let alone fine details or complexity.
You do realize the nation to your south believes by majority that the Earth is only 2,000 to 6,000 years old and that God whipped it together in 6 days, right? If you're curious I can find some polls that show over 50% of the population when polled consistently believes such.
This I am somehow skeptical about.....50% is a lot of misguided people.....
God created humans in present form - 55%
Humans evolved, God guided the process - 27%
Humans evolved, God did not guide process - 13%
---
Americans who want Creationism and evolution taught in public schools - 65% (yes, 65%)
Creationism instead of evolution - 37% (yes, over 1/3rd wants no evolution introduced at all)
Question posed:
Some people think that humans and other living things have evolved over time. Others think that humans and other living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time. Which of these comes closest to your view?
Through natural processes - 26%
With guidance - 18%
Existed only in present form - 42%
----
Which do you think is more likely to actually be the explanation for the origin of human life on earth: evolution or the biblical account of creation?
Evolution - 33%
God was a divine presence - 13%
God created world in 6 days - 44% (yes, 44%!!)
Don't know - 10%
That kind of nonsense is far less possible in Canada's Parliament.
Parliamentary democracy is less democratic, but then again, the parties tend to weed out the stupids in the process....so I guess it plus/minus on how you look at it. There are times I think the US system is good....it shows the nation how dumb they really are. After all, leaders should reflect their people.....
