Matt Damon Rips Palin

[sladesuperagent]

Wow, I getting really sick of coming on here and wanting to punch people in the face for their idiotic political beliefs, especially you newbs with like 16 posts about how Palin is hot or how the world's gonna end tomorrow. If a large majority of your posts aren't about collectables, I think you should be banned.

Like I said, everything there applies to Obama, another inexperienced tool that I am terrified of if he's elected. The difference however is he is running at the top of the ticket, Palin is at the bottom.

As for the religion thing, who the hell cares? Why are we in this society today where we shun and mock people with faith in the Bible, who cares?

Yeah, it's really weird how the left can bash the Bible and get away with it, but if you even mention you're hesitant to put a Muslim in office, you're a racist.

so with all this talk about a "free country" I'm guessing everyone agrees there should be no ban on any type of weapon?...since it's a free country and all.

I don't want them to ban any weapons, that doesn't bother me. The NRA can keep their guns and so can everyone else... that isn't a big issue to me.

Religion being forced down my throat IS.

Do you really think this is a forum where you will see expert dialogue on politics? Come on man, it's a toy website.

By the way Palin is hot...and the world is going to end tomorrow.

I have nothing against Christians... OR the bible. But if someone is the White House is saying that we are God's chosen people, that we are doing God's work overseas and that Christian values will be POLICY????

THAT I have a problem with. Just like I would hate for a President to make Muslim values Policy or Jewish values.. or Buddhist values.

Our freedom in this country extends to religious freedom, to have a leader speak as if they are the pope... it's wrong.

I'm trying, but I don't see much in Damon's comments that could be applied to Obama. I suppose you could try to equate his experience with hers, but that's about it, and for me it's a reach to equate her experience with his exposure. She's an unknown quantity (Damon's central point); Obama's been under the microscope for a couple of years. As for Damon's other points, Obama's not likely to try a small-town hockey mom approach with Putin. He's never tried to ban books (and her failure to achieve her goal hardly makes this a "so what?"), and he seems to be fine with the poor old dinosaurs.

I posted this in the other, now-locked thread, but since "Hollywood lefties" were raised, it's worth repeating: when Gov. Palin made her acceptance speech crack about the Dem's convention set being trucked back to the movie studio, she was standing on a set built by a mainstream Hollywood designer, she'd been rehearsed not just with speechwriters in a hotel suite but with a TV director and teleprompter operator on that very stage...the national conventions are both TV Specials like many others, and Gov Palin showed that she will exploit a voter's lack of awareness of that reality in order to leverage said voter's resentment. Nobody likes to think they're being manipulated by show business professionals, so she suggests that only the Democrats use Hollywood professionals to make their telecasts.

I don't care how the stars intend to vote, but in this instance she's the one who targeted Hollywood as an "other," so I don't feel much sympathy for her if some stars respond. I wonder whether she'll object if Robert Duvall, Dennis Hopper, Tom Selleck, Bruce Willis, Stephanie Zimbalist, Bruce Boxleitner, or other Hollywood "righties" come to her defense.

Well said Gruff.

Tell 'em about the Twinkie!

The BIG issue is that she is religious to the point of being almost Evangelical. Religion does NOT belong in politics. Our country was started by people who wanted to no longer be religiously oppressed. So now, we decree that if you are not living up to Christian values, you are wrong? That's not very American in my book.

Anti abortion is another thing.... it's unconstitutional and I won't stand for it.

Pro Gun... I don't really care. Having a shotgun is one thing... having an AR-15 is another.

You show me where Sarah Palin is shoving Christianity down our throats. You show me where we are losing freedom of religion. She is religous nothing more, nothing less. Are you one of the people who don't want the pledge said cause it says "Under God" are you one that wants "In God We Trust" taken off our currency. Are you that anit-religous? Tell me in the Constution where it says the people shall have the right to abort a child while still in the womb. And as far as my AR-15, do you believe in the right to own a handgun?

I think she is pushing for creationism to be tought in school, no? Isn't that shoving a little?

Thanks, I was going to say something along them lines but I didn't get to it yet

She has been on record as saying that Creationism should be taught in schools, that our war in Iraq was "God's Will... that we were doing God's work", she wanted to ban books that were against her personal beliefs... I think that is definitely shoving religion down people's throats.

I don't think they should take anything off the money or the pledge, that's history... something that means something to this country and it's people.

I just don't want someone in high office that is SO spiritual that they want to change things to better suit her religious preference. That would be unconstitutional and disrespectful the the other religions in this nation of ours.
I'm not anti religious, I just believe that people should be able to choose.

The Constitution was written before Abortion was an issue. But we are given rights over ourselves by the Bill of Rights. Nobody can take away our basic freedoms. Freedom over your body is certainly covered by that.

To ban abortions would bloom our population, rape victims would have to raise the ******* children of criminals (with possible mental issues to deal with), and illegal abortions would be rampant.

Having a pistol is fine, I have nothing against it. As long as it was legally obtained.

Some people are only here to discuss politics, unfortunately. I wish they would contribute to the forum (like posting pictures of collectibles, collectible news, or other collectible related stuff)

hoodonit00's last 133 posts have been in political threads.

Waiting on a response.

Check my post... "rightie"

i have nothing against wanting to teach creationism in schools as long as they ALSO teach the big bang theory. Let the kids decide what they want to believe in.
