Add China To List Of Countries Sarah Palin Can See From Her House

We Watch So You Don't Have To
The Fartknocker Report: Add China To List Of Countries Sarah Palin Can See From Her House


image:


. . . . .

The first video is mostly about the Arrogant Kenyan Usurper’s unwillingness to use the phrase “Islamic terrorism,” which, whatever, God, it’s just the same thing every day with these people. The second video, focused on the rise of Red China, is a thing of beauty.
. . . . .

This is Palin at her best. In the first half of a compound sentence, Obama is actively cutting the military’s budget; in the second half of the sentence, $600 billion worth of cuts “is comin’ in the future.” All of these cuts are, presumably, a result of Obama’s hatred of Our Brave Troops, and perhaps also the very Idea of America. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives had no part in any of this.

Palin goes on to complain about the degradation of the equipment used by The Finest Military On God’s Green Earth, displaying a blissful ignorance of the toll that a decade of land wars in Asia can take on machinery. Then she goes for the kill:
Many Americans don’t know that our troops? They often go into battle supported by decades-old airplane and tank designs, using weapons that date back, well, even before the Reagan Administration. Um, sometimes we’re not well-equipped, and yet we’re cutting back? Against these threats around the globe that are rampin’ it up?
. . . . .
As Pfc. Track Palin might be able to explain to his mother, current war plans in East Asia don’t call for a lot of tank battles, mostly because the Pacific Ocean is still a thing that exists. Watch the full video, and note how Palin fails to mention that China’s only aircraft carrier is a 25-year-old Soviet tub designated for training.

She is definitely a living breathing example of the stupid wing of the Republican brand. When her name is mentioned it is so easy to stop the most ardent delusional Republican or self styled Conservative. If they still promote her all you need to do is laugh in their face. It is always good to have a few new Palin stories in your repertoire.

It's going to take Diogenes with a halogen lantern to find the intelligent wing.

6. My Representative is an example of the smart wing of the Republican Party.

He limits all contact with constituents, never has live town hall meetings, only sends responses to his known supporters and will meet with them on a prearranged basis, for those who disagree with him he will do phone conferencing it is highly controlled. The Gerrymandered district guarantees election safety and he will make a few rare appearances during an election year. He does not conduct live interviews and works at remaining invisible. His voting record is almost perfect on Conservative scales. In other words he is as crazy as Palin he just hides it well.

2. if Sarah Palin can see China and Russia

from her house, does that mean she is living in space? She generally sounds quite spacy. Maybe she should check the air mix she is breathing on the space craft. Sounds like she is inhaling a little too much helium.

She reminds me of Trump, Guilliani and the rest of the GOP retreads. Desperate for attention. This frantic bid for attention and relevance can only end with the "accidental" release of a sex tape involving numerous GOP media stars.

7. Any cuts or increase in the defense budget would primarily affect defense contractors
Mon Mar 2, 2015, 01:48 PM

Military receives some of it but contractors receive the bulk. I went to Iraq in 2006-07, M16A3 -- AR15 is also a common rifle. M9, Saw 249, 50 Cal & others are generally common weapons. Maybe some of the designs are old but that is some deadly shit. I was in transportation & a lot of it hasn't changed but updated, M915A3 is a Freightliner but it is a quality vehicle that is put through some heavy wear & tear and takes it. Improvements can be made but the ones badly needed are quality of life issues, other than that -- armor is all that is generally needed.

9. If the equipment goes back to before the Reagan administration

that means St. Ronnie himself and all successors must have used this old equipment. Perhaps even older. Logic and Sarah have never met.

Lucy and Linus are walking around. She puts her and around a sprouting tree.

Lucy: This is called a Palm Tree. See, I can wrap my palm around it.
Linus: Where do you get all these facts?
Lucy: I make them up.
