Bristol Palin and her typical black & white right-wing / religious mindset

    So, Bristol Palin is through to the final on Dancing with the Stars even though it's obvious to everyone with half a brain that she doesn't deserve to be based on her dancing. She's there simply because the obsessive Palin fundies are voting for her.

    I thought it was interesting listening to her describe people who think she shouldn't be there as "the haters".

    What black and white thinking and typical of the religious / right-wing mentality. People can't have an opinion that is based on reality and see that better dancers were voted off while she stayed way past her skill level warranted. No, anyone who disagrees is a "hater" and their opinions can then be conveniently dismissed.

    Well Bristol dear, I don't hate you ... I'd just rather see people DANCING instead of you stomping around on stage.

    If she wins the competition (which is very possible) then the farce will be plain to see for everyone.

    Of course there are then echoes in politics where people are elected based on ... what? their skills? or just because the unthinking zealots are rounded up and told to vote for them.

    A lady with whom I work said essentially the same thing this here morning.

    Simon, are you saying that you ACTUALLY WATCH THAT SHOW???

    That show is one of the reasons that Mai and I have two TVs.

    As a side point, I think it is good that she gets it out of her system now, as she looks to me as if she will soon be far too fat to attempt this.

    I really felt bad for Brandy when she did not make it, from the look on most others faces they were shocked!!

    Last night it looked like she had concrete blocks attached to her feet.

    Tonights show will be very interesting.

    Even if she gets second, it will be very disappointing and scarey.

    Its a show, like all the other ones, that is based not on skill but "popularity".

    Granted that over the years you tended to get the better dancers in the final, but it was just a question of time before someone got far on "popularity" alone.

    I haven't watched this show at all this year (or much of the previous years). But, I do give Bristol Palin and anyone who tries ballroom dancing to millions of viewers some credit for courage and a thick skin. My spouse refuses to dance, even at a small party. I suppose that there is a serious ballroom dancing competitions, but this show is just a popularity contest.

    Yes, black & white thinking is the far right and,, have to admit, the far left. Alot of Bible-Based fairy tail religions pander the black/white mentality.
