Talking Rednecki: Nucular Experience

[sophia-sadek.livejournal.com]

The princess of Redneckistan recently attacked her president for his lack of "nucular" experience. In its typically biased fashion, the Associated Press reported her speaking American English rather than Rednecki. (BTW, I was fascinated to hear media critic Reese Erlich use the Rednecki word.)

With her own treasure trove of vast nucular experience, Princess Palin proclaimed the Rednecki military policy of nuking nations who use nasty weapons. What she actually said was along the lines that a good Rednecki would never assert restraint in the use of horribly toxic high energy burst weapons of mass destruction on an enemy who used weapons of lesser destructiveness.

For those who doubt the viciousness of the lovely princess, this incident should nail the lid on the coffin. How do you feel about the promise of another Rednecki in the Oval Office with her finger on the nuclear trigger? What is your opinion on the biased reporting of the AP?

(Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be a class issue, unless one class prefers diplomacy and another class prefers to nuke 'em 'til they glow.)

and last time I checked after she said it we did change our policy to include biological and chemical weapons.

So...

[sophia-sadek.livejournal.com]

... her criticism two or three days ago was over a policy that had been changed. I guess she didn't notice the change.

What? Our policy came out on April 6 (http://www.defense.gov/npr/docs/2010%20Nuclear%20Posture%20Review%20Report.pdf) (see p. viii). Palin's comments were on April 7. (http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2010/04/palin-says-obamas-nuke-stance-is-like-a-kid-who-says-punch-me-in-the-face-.html)

Erm......wut?

Didn't Reagan start significant Arms Reduction talks with the USSR?

[the-rukh.livejournal.com]

What does that have to do with anything?

[the-rukh.livejournal.com]

Oh ok, I see what you're referencing, I missed the implication that were were questioning Palin's craziness and hypocrisy for criticizing Obama for doing what Reagan also wanted.

[puf-almighty.livejournal.com]

I agree with the "wut" but only because I can't be arsed to decipher this impenetrable writing style. Yuck.

also HEY ukraine agrees to give its nuclear stockpile to the u.s. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/12/ukraine-nuclear-deal-reac_n_534672.html)

Tubular!

I love it. Faux News ist spitze fur LULZ.

[enders-shadow.livejournal.com]

yup.

My gf openly admits her main two sources of news are The Economist and Jon Stewart.

You are a week late AND you left out Ceasar. Girl we need to talk, I'm worried about you ;)

[mahnmut.livejournal.com]

Absolutely.

[thies.livejournal.com]

I don't think she does a lot of farming and I'm not sure getting a sunburn in Alaska is that easy either.

It's a...

[sophia-sadek.livejournal.com]

... metaphor.

As much as I loathe the idea of the two names being associated with each other in any instance, I feel compelled to point out that Jimmy Carter, one of my favourite people ever, also said "nucular". That being the case, I can forgive Ms. Palin that much. But yeah, only about that much.

Carter...

[sophia-sadek.livejournal.com]

... came from the Rednecki territory of Georgia. I mentioned Reese Erlich's use of the word, and he's not even from Redneckistan.

'Talking Rednecki: Nucular Experience'

Can you give me a lesson in how to talk Colored or Negroid later?

[nevermind6794.livejournal.com]

When a black comedian tells "you might be a negroid if..." jokes, that line might work.

"I really have no response. Because last I checked, Sarah Palin's not much of an expert on nuclear issues."

--Barack Obama

'nuff said.

[merig00.livejournal.com]

yeah but then she responded to that... and they changed the policy! ooops.

[mahnmut.livejournal.com]

You forgot Caesar.

Palin...

[sophia-sadek.livejournal.com]

... reminds me of Caesar every time she opens her mouth. It was not I who forgot Caesar.

Agree about Palin Rednecki mistake...

[dreadfulpenny81.livejournal.com]

...but how about this?



Oh, how quickly people forget...

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

That was from her VP nomination speech. She still says nuculur.

The next time Obama says "corpsman", will he pronounce it "corpse man"?

Redneckistan? "Speaking Rednecki"?

[3fgburner.livejournal.com]

Biased, much?

Re: Redneckistan? "Speaking Rednecki"?

[sophia-sadek.livejournal.com]

A few ohms to the positive.

[debergerac.livejournal.com]

redneck refers to poor, white southerners.

Redneckistan...

[sophia-sadek.livejournal.com]

... has a princess who appeals to the mindset of poor, white southerners and their northern equivalents.

From the NPR:

the role of U.S. nuclear weapons in deterring non-nuclear attacks – conventional, biological, or chemical – has declined significantly. The United States will continue to reduce the role of nuclear weapons in deterring non-nuclear attacks.
To that end, the United States is now prepared to strengthen its long-standing “negative security assurance” by declaring that the United States will not use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear weapons states that are party to the NPT and in compliance with their nuclear non-proliferation obligations.
The United States is therefore not prepared at the present time to adopt a universal policy that deterring nuclear attack is the sole purpose of nuclear weapons, but will work to establish conditions under which such a policy could be safely adopted.

The last bit is what is being objected to. Nuclear retaliation is useful for deterring any kind of attack and should be used as such, not restricted to only deterring nuclear attack.

Your spin on her comments are typical left-wing anti-nuke BS.

And your spin...

[sophia-sadek.livejournal.com]

... on the use of nuclear weapons as a deterrent are typical weapon-rattling jingoism.

Interesting...

[sophia-sadek.livejournal.com]

... etymological discussion, that. It didn't seem like a metathesis to me, either.
