This is America! We don't have czars!
The scariest zombie movie I've ever seen:
Ted, didn't you advocate mandatory tests for voters, to make sure they're informed about current affairs? Or at least semi-conscious? I'm right there with you after watching this.

This is downright scary.
Except for the drug czar and the edumacation czar and the various cabinet appointees and the heads of bureaucratic divisions created by the Executive and Legislative branches, etc, etc.
The one problem with a mandatory test is the racist history of using such tests to prevent black people from voting. It will never fly.
Wow. Even my Republican co-workers were shocked.
The camo guy says "we're no longer an exceptional country."
I wholeheartedly agree.
See if you recognise any of them here.

Get me the HAIL out of this place!
HELLO, America! Was anybody awake several years ago when Jay Leno was doing on-the-street interviews? Did anybody NOT get the impression that our country was at least HALF FUNCTIONALLY-ILLITERATE? The We-Are-Doomed Alarm sounded when George W. Bush received his Legacy Presidency.
The classic cartoon of a bearded guy on the street corner, carrying a "Repent! The End is Near!" sign is no longer a joke. Even before that, Pogo said "We have met the enemy and it is us."
Could you please pass the FUCKING stuffings? Nothing like factory-made stuffings, frozen in 2008 for the 2009 Thanksgiving event. Tastes almost like.....CARDboard. Mmmmmm!
If it helps, I sent money and support to her opponent in AK. Her increasing assaults on science and reason are scary, and so is the fertile soil her rhetoric falls on.
Anonymous: The people of Walmart thing is just aesthetic criticism. Shallow, like making fun of the baggy pants kids today wear.
To me this video is more about the annoying and disturbing tendency of so many people to turn politics into a cult of personality.
I've also heard from right-wingers who seem to think Palin's best attribute is that she scares the liberals.
The same idiots that are criticizing this helped get a guy elected based on "Hope and Change."
How is that working out for America?
Grouchy, I would say yours was never an exceptional country, but you'd probably just insult me.
Marion Delgado proves that he is as on top of the issues as the fine Americans in the video. Exactly what opponent of Palin's in Alaska did you send money to? Considering, um, she holds no office there....
This one is even funnier:

This is today's America, or at least half of the voting-age citizens: Sarah Palin presents a certain physically attractive persona that guarantees profit to her and her handlers, more than quick to jump at the opportunity.
Susan Boyle, on the other hand, is just this side of a public lynching in the popularity polls, because SHE'S NOT PHYSICALLY ATTRACTIVE IN THE COMMERCIAL SENSE.
Sarah Palin attracts voters, because she "speaks her mind." Give me a break! If that's the only criteria half our voters need to elect a candidate for public office, why not elect....? Never mind. The answer is frightening.
Speak to truth, one has to look beyond and under the physical appearance. What is Sarah Palin without her eye makeup? What is she when she can't speak intelligently about even one major issue confronting our country today? Nothing. Just a misguided (except for the enterpeneurial factor) wasted talent with a drive to support and protect her trailer-trash immediate family. And THAT'S...the Truth!
Grouchy, I would say yours was never an exceptional country, but you'd probably just insult me.
I agree with you. The First Amendment is pretty cool, but besides that there's noting exceptional about the US.
The country had a run of good luck--geographic isolation from WWII being the primary factor. Emerging as the only intact industrial power made the US so rich that it could create a middle class like the world has never seen.
It's mostly luck. You could argue it's due to the foresight of Roosevelt or the designers of the Marshall Plan, but there's nothing exceptional about the country or its people.
The exceptional places are the ones that don't have the resources or wealth, and yet still enjoy better standards of living.
Ryan,
Obama falls into the same category as Palin. He's just more articulate. Anyone that won't admit that the liberal media elected Obama has their head in the sand.
The no czars comment was one of the few coherent things in this clip.
Anyone with a pulse knows czars in the U.S. aren't hereditary monarchs. They're administrative coordinators. They just happen to be coordinating the sale of our country.
Do we need a drug czar to coordinate the enrichment of the prison industrial complex? Do we need an economics czar to facilitate distribution of subsidies to investment banks? Czars coordinate the few things we'd be better of if the government did less efficiently.
