Oh, that's right, you're spending your time and energy condemning Sarah Palin for having the audacity to give birth to a child whom you consider not quite perfect.

Saudi judge: It's OK to slap spend thrift wives
(CNN) -- 'Husbands are allowed to slap their wives if they spend lavishly, a Saudi judge said recently during a seminar on domestic violence, Saudi media reported Sunday.
It is OK to slap Saudi women who spend too much, a judge has told an audience.
Arab News, a Saudi English-language daily newspaper based in Riyadh, reported that Judge Hamad Al-Razine said that "if a person gives SR 1,200 [$320] to his wife and she spends 900 riyals [$240] to purchase an abaya [the black cover that women in Saudi Arabia must wear] from a brand shop and if her husband slaps her on the face as a reaction to her action, she deserves that punishment."
Women in the audience immediately and loudly protested Al-Razine's statement, and were shocked to learn the remarks came from a judge, the newspaper reported.
Arab News reported that Al-Razine made his remark as he was attempting to explain why incidents of domestic violence had increased in Saudi Arabia. He said that women and men shared responsibility, but added that "nobody puts even a fraction of blame" on women, the newspaper said.
Al-Razine "also pointed out that women's indecent behavior and use of offensive words against their husbands were some of the reasons for domestic violence in the country," it added.
Domestic violence, which used to be a taboo subject in the conservative kingdom, has become a hot topic in recent years. Groups like the National Family Safety Program have campaigned to educate the public about the problem and help prevent domestic abuse.
Saudi women's rights activist Wajeha Al-Huwaider told CNN that Saudi women routinely face such attitudes.
"This is how men in Saudi Arabia see women," she said in a telephone interview from the Saudi city of Dahran. "It's not something they read in a book or learned from a friend. They've been raised to see women this way, that they're less than a person."
Al-Huwaider added that "I'm not surprised to see a judge or a religious man saying that - they've been raised in the same culture - a culture that tells them it's ok to raise your hand to a woman that this works."'"

And how long ago was it perfectly legal to do the same in America? We're not that far ahead oin this count.
It could only happen in America .
It looks like Obama is getting a lesson in proper educate from the Saudi King.
America has become a laughingstock to our allies and the world’s superpowers.
You are absolutely right, Diogenes. I didn't stop to think what a "shine boy" is. That was a racist comment, and I was completely wrong in posting it.
I apologize, and I deleted the whole article and re-posted it without that comment. Thanks for keeping me accountable.
Thank you. And you're welcome.
Ooh, a Hallmark Moment between a pc radical leftist and a pc Christian.
How touching
So for the word to be racist it has to be a certain race applying it towards a person of a specific different race, isn't that racist in and of itself?
A shineboy can be of any ethnic descent, I'm of Spanish descent and I shined shoes as a child, I was often called shineboy, you mean the people were actually using a racial slur against me? Or is it only a racial slur if applied to a black male? And black males only?
Usually people use boy as an analog to young male, immature guy.
boy (boi) n.
1. a male child, from birth to full growth.
2. a young man who lacks maturity, judgment,
etc.
3. Informal. a grown man, esp. when referred
to familiarly.
4. a son.
5. a male who is from or native to a given
place: He's a country boy.
6. (used with a sing. or pl. v.).
a. a range of sizes from 8 to 20 in
garments for boys.
b. a garment in this range.
So, is white boy a racial slur if used by a person of a different ethnicity?
Debra, that was your assumption that the word was meant in the context of a racial slur instead of the actual meaning of immaturity.
Two completely non-racist terms that the leftwing thought & speech police consistently push to advance their political agenda-using race as the vehicle.
SInce Ms. Moore seems to want to be "open" about this topic, I hope that she'll extend me the same courtesy she unintentionally (she claimed) and now intentionally has extended to you.
Let me say this as politely as possible: B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T. Look that up in your dictionary.
Anybody who knows the least bit about American history knows full well that "boy" has historically been a term used to disparage African American males in this society. Yes, there are "boys" of all races, and in that context, it's a perfectly innocent term. And there are (or were) shoeshine boys of all races. But there was always a higher percentage of African American males who worked as shoeshine boys.
You know as well as I do that racists LOVE to use terms like "boy" BECAUSE they can claim to be merely innocent expressions of non-racist thoughts. Calling somebody a "boy" or a "shine boy" can be rationalized in a way that you can't get away with when you call that same "boy" a "nigger".
Words mean different things in different contexts, and bald-faced racists like you know that full well. I mean, you can ask to bum a fag in England without anybody thinking twice about it, can't you?
This isn't about leftwingers pushing a social agenda. This is about standing up in the face of racists and saying, in no uncertain terms, that your bulshit is not going to be acceptable in poolite company any more.
Diogenes: Whaaaaaaa Whaaaaaaaa Boo Freggin Hoo (More unintelligible racist whining and crying while you suck your thumb)!
So, the left is re-defining Webster’s definitions of specific words and there meanings? Hmmmmmmm, sounds fascists
Where in the US constitution does it give liberals specific rights to interpret and define the words used in America's vocabulary and culture?
As far as Slavery: Have you ever read the Bible during the rule of Rameses I in Ancient Egypt and the torture and abuse of Hebrew slaves? Slavery was not solely isolated to American soil.
Whiki (def)
Slavery is a form of forced labour in which people are considered to be the property of others. Slaves can be held against their will from the time of their capture, purchase or birth, and deprived of the right to leave, to refuse to work, or to receive compensation (such as wages). Evidence of slavery predates written records, and has existed to varying extents, forms and periods in almost all cultures and continents. In some societies, slavery existed as a legal institution or socio-economic system, but today it is formally outlawed in nearly all countries and condemned by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Nevertheless, the practice continues in various forms around the world.
Just remember while you’re on this racist diatribe the North African blacks took white Christian slaves long before the first African slave ever set foot on American soil!
Robert Davis book: Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters: White Slavery in the Mediterranean 1500-1800
Robert Davis book about the Atlantic Slave Trade where between 1 million and 1.25 million European White Christians were captured by Black Muslims in North Africa between 1530 and 1780 and forced to work in North Africa, While African slaves did grueling labor on sugar and cotton plantations in the Americas, European White Christian slaves were often worked just as hard and as lethally-in quarries, heavy construction, and above all rowing the corsair galleys and the females were raped and sold.
"We have lost the sense of how large enslavement could loom for those who lived around the Mediterranean and the threat they were under,” he said. “Slaves were still slaves, whether they were black or white, and whether they suffered in America or North Africa.”
The Democratic Party has been and always will be the Party of Slavery.
They supported slavery against the abolitionists before the Civil War.
They betrayed the Union to defend slavery and caused the Civil War.
They created the Jim Crow laws to try and perpetuate a form of slavery after the Civil War.
They became the “Progressives”, like Mussolini in the early 20th Century pushing vastly expanded government control so they could enslave everyone not of their elite status.
They created American Apartheid in the ’60s, divided up the population by race so they could dominate each separately. One by playing on “White Guilt” and the rest by offering homesteads on their Democratic plantation in exchange for servitude to the Party.
I believe there’s still an ex-member of the KKK Robert Byrd in the democrat party.
Absolutely no one should be taken back by the Democrats attempts to take over everything. Enslaving people is simply who they are. Power and domination is their creed.
I never mentioned slavery. We're talking about racism in America, not Biblical slavery. And I never mentioned political affiliations, either. Democrats can be every bit as racist as Republicans.
And if you're too dimwitted to recognize that words connote meanings that aren't always found in Webster's, you're less educated than I thought. And I never thought that highly of you in the first place.
But I would suggest you get that whole thumb-sucking fixation of yours looked at. It sounds Freudian.
You called me a racist and I'm a conservative, I was merely stating the obvious by using the slavery argument that racism is more prevalent in the democrat party then with conservative Independents or Republicans.
You have chosen to equate sucking your thumb to Sigmund Freud's theory that thumb sucking is a form of sexual expression rather then the actual meaning of a young insecure child needing comfort at a time of anxiety.
You are proof that the liberal twisted mind would rather choose the most vile, perverted and extreme interpretation rather then the moral, innocent and fundamental interpretation.
Libs Suck! You can take that anyway you want
