Can you see any current parallel to my Lester Maddox anecdote?
(Hint: it involves a woman who shoots wolves from a helicopter; who claims she's a Mama Grizzly protecting her cubs while not knowing what's going on with them; who compares herself w/ God & with Shakespeare; who didn't know that Africa was a continent; who is endorsing several Tea Party candidates; who is poorly educated, poorly informed & hypocritical.)
Ugabyga,
You give good clues, not accurate but OK clues. I will try to clear things up for you. My answer is long I know, but I had to try and point out your problems with your clue writing. I tried really hard to be nice about it,
1. Didn't Miss Sarah shoot those wolves from the hellicopter to help weed them out as part of population control. I don't think it was like a hunting sport. Is being a good shot with a gun from a moving hellicopter a bad thing?
2. Mama cubs misplace or lose their cubs in the wild all the time. Those cubs get to playing or exploring on their own and off they go.
Now Miss Sarah has five of those "cub"s running around and three of them are teenagers. Have you ever tried to keep tabs on a teenager? Teenagers are moody things, must be those hormones .They are out there experimenting and they certainly aren't checking in hourly and sharing their mating habits with their mama.
3. Now I don't know about comparing herself to God, you might have to share that one with me. I do know that she believes in God, attends church, prays for answers, and is a good Christian. Not sure why that would be a concern for you.
4. I do know about that Shakespeare thing cause I receive her tweets. When I read it I saw it as a joke trying to make light of a misused and misspelled word. I didn't take it as a look at me, I am just like Shakespeare statement.
5. Now this Africa bit, didn't that come from some of McCain staffers who were doing a "cover out butt dance" after McCain lost. Miss Sarah says it isn't true- they say it is. I will never believe this one, it gets a good laugh but that's all.
6. Why would you have any problems with her endorsing Tea Party candidates? Doesn't she have the right to support who ever she wants too? I am a Tea Party lady, I am also a pink elephant lady and I can support anyone I choose. You have that right too. That's what great about our country.
7. Poorly educated is really being thrown around., not sure where the poorly part comes from. Perhaps it is her personal values, her way of talking, her work ethic, her country charm, her gun abilities, that make you think Miss Sarah isn't educated. She may not have an Ive League diploma but she is educated and she is smart. She isn't your run of the mill politician. she is real, down to earth, she is believable. You are wrong on this one.
8. I bet she is more informed today, she is not in Alaska anymore, she is traveling, meeting folks, and listening to folks and she knows what our country wants. She draws crowds, she has a big following, you forget she was thrusted into the spotligh without much preparation, it must have been a "deer in the headlights moment for her, but look at her two years later, she has staying power along with growing power. The way she has been attacked by liberals is really sad, but her grace and courage shows just how strong this lady is.
9. She is hypocritica because ...??????
Miss Sarah doesn't try to hide her beliefs about things like abortion, gun control, faith, our arm forces, terrorists, taxes, oil drilling, importance of family, country, power of government, corruption in Washington etc. I don't think she is pretending to be something that she is not there are no hidden surprises with Miss Sarah.
Sorry I was so long winded with my reply.
