I'm able to lightly applaud Palin's take on rugged individuality but there's little mistake...

The as-such republican party and their candidates for P&VPOTUS have entered...

The (shrieking) Twilight Zone :scared:

[blonndee]

1. "rugged individuality" except when it comes to women's right to control their own bodies, that is.

[bridgit]

2. adding 'tongue in cheek', referencing instead her Idaho upbringing and Alaska...

Northern Exposure experience, regions of Amurca where people still claim freedoms others would never. My husband is on a cusp with Cancer. Out of respect, neither would I put a dead, giant crab on our coffee table ;)

8. "rugged individuality" shooting wolves and bears from airplanes

too.

[blonndee]

9. For some sick fundies, that is part of the "dominion" over the earth they feel they are granted by

their god. That's why they don't give a shit about global warming or any other environmental issues, and feel that animals are "theirs" to do with as they please, no matter how sick or cruel.

3. Cue Rod Serling: You have now entered the Twilight zone!

[MasonJar]

4. Her rugged individualism apparently includes personally shooting

innocent wolf pups in their den. Now there is bravery on a monumental scale. I do not even like hunting, but that is not hunting that is premeditated murder of innocent lives.

5. You know it. This is the strangest VP pick of them all, truly bizarre...

[Naturyl]

6. "Rugged individualism" is a total fantasy.

Let's see some of these "rugged individualists" hack their way to work every morning with a machete to avoid using the socialist interstate highway handout. Let's see how long they can hold their breath to avoid using the socialist clean air handout. Let's see them ask their bosses to lower their wages to avoid taking advantage of the socialist minimum wage handout. Let's see them add deadly bacteria to their food to avoid benefiting from the socialist USDA food inspection handout.

I could go on all day...

7. That's the spirit!! The socialist minimum oil bribe for drilling rights to boot...
