<p>Why is the whole “I lived next to Russia, therefore I can go toe to toe with Putin” thing even being discussed? If I was the interviewer, I would have laughed in her face, because that’s what that claim is: laughable. It doesn’t even deserve a proper rebuttal.</p>
<p>The Palin interview was scary. Gibson asked the same question three times, and she gave the same response that didn’t answer the question three times.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No it is something unique that I taught myself when i was in the summer of my sophmore year. You stated that people who believe in Creationalism are dumb. Well I believe GOD created us and I am not dumb.</p>
<p>This just shows you have no basis for calling other people dumb.</p>
<p>Nbachris, honestly I am tired of you coming on these forums and insulting people and then when someone confronts you about it you run, avoiding the question, and showcasing that you do not know what you are talking about.</p>
<p>In fact this has happened several times: 1)When you insulted people about hunting although when I asked you have you ever hunted you failed to respond.</p>
<p>2)When you attacked Sarah Palin about being inexperienced and I asked you to show four executive actions by Barack Obama. You showed none.</p>
<p>3) You insulted Christianity by saying that Christians cared more about abortion and gay marriage than about helping people. Although you did not even say if you were Christian or have ever even been in a church.</p>
<p>4)Now you call people who believe GOD created us dumb, yet in the face of obvious evidence that belief in GOD has no bearing on intelligence. You respond by saying:</p>

<p>HERE’S A SUGGESTION FOR YOU, GET ON TOPIC. BECAUSE IF YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE RUDE AND OFFENSIVE COMMENTS, HAVE SOMETHING TO BACK THEM UP OR ELSE DON’T POST!!!</p>

<p>It involved little birds. I did not consider it hunting. If anybody needs to prove their masculine virility by jumping on a helicopter to shoot wolves in the tundra, or go stalk defenseless prey, then they should get laid more often.</p>

<p>Executive decisions mean nothing. I was once student council president. I suppose I have just as much executive experience as Palin, and even more so than McCain, Obama, and Biden. Palin may have made “executive decisions” but they were largely only for the Alaskan populace, which is hardly representative of the U.S. or the world.</p>

<p>I was a Christian early in my life but I choose now to be something of a deist. I despise the politicization of religion (i.e. priests being told to deny communion to Democrats) and I think that American Christianity has become a harmful force.</p>

<p>There’s a difference in believing that God created us, and that God created us from dust approximately 5000 years ago. Look, if you believe that God was responsible for the setting evolution in motion and such, then I have no problem with you. But if you deny the obvious facts and try to pass off your myths of Flintstonism as some kind of viable alternative, then I will call you out for the moron that you are. I don’t care how many scientific principles you force yourself to memorize. If you can look in the face of evidence and let your desperate desire to believe otherwise get to you, then you are of suspect mental honesty.</p>
<p>I do believe that evolution was the mechanism by which GOD created us, but I see no difference in that and Creationalism. They are both beliefs.</p>
<p>

<p>When religion gets mixed with politics is really annoying. I want to hear about JESUS and what he did, and not about politicians.
However, I do believe that as Christians we should vote the way THE HOLY SPIRIT tells us to, and for me that means voting for pro-life anti-gay marriage candidates, which seems to be the Republican party.</p>
<p>But from an economic perspective I am a moderate. I believe we should have limited government, but also social programs for the poor, and especially for the young women who have children young.</p>

<p>Creationism’s doctrine is that the Bible is literal, that we were created out of nothing in a span of a week or so. What you believe in is not creationism at all, but rather a synthesis of religious and scientific belief that many intelligent and rational people hold (i.e. God works through science). The morons are the ones who believe that fossils are the devil’s trick.</p>
<p>According to FactCheck.com, "Palin says Alaska supplies 20 percent of U.S. energy. Not true. Not even close.</p>
<p>Summary: Palin claims Alaska “produces nearly 20 percent of the U.S. domestic supply of energy.” That’s not true.</p>
<p>Alaska did produce 14 percent of all the oil from U.S. wells last year, but that’s a far cry from all the “energy” produced in the U.S.</p>
<p>Alaska’s share of domestic energy production was 3.5 percent, according to the official figures kept by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.</p>
<p>And if by “supply” Palin meant all the energy consumed in the U.S., and not just produced here, then Alaska’s production accounted for only 2.4 percent."</p>
