First… a few comments about Gov. Palin’s resignation.
Even as someone who is near-inured to the bottomless slime pit which produces leftists and hard core liberals in the country, even I was outraged anew by the round the clock attacks on Sarah Plain, her husband and her children… at the attacks on her baby son who was born with Down’s Syndrome.
… and not aborted immediately like the Left would have wanted and perhaps even given Palin’s some eugenics props.
HuffPo celebrated her announced resignation last Friday as Alaska’s governor (effective July 26) with the headline: ‘Palin will run in ‘12 on more retardation platform’, and there was something about her being in favor of “lead paint chips” for children:
Previous attacks on Mrs. Plain and her family were of this ilk (screen shot and quotes thanks to Gateway Pundit):
HuffPo contributor Michael Seitzman wrote a sick hit piece earlier: "I want to have sex with Palin on my Barack Obama sheets"
This was just the latest attack on Sarah Palin and her children. Most of the attacks, of course, were ignored by the state-run media. But, when David Letterman cracked rape jokes about her 14 year-old daughter the poor media was forced to report on it. The Left was finally able to drive Sarah Palin out of office. Let's pray they will leave her and her family alone for awhile now.
Palin was (and sadly will continue to be) the litmus test and punching bag for all manner of things political and psychological to GOP moderates and RINOS as well as the dems and the hard-left.
Think not? Three words: Dan. Quaye. Potato.
It’s quicker to list the accurate statements made about the governor than the lies and distortions.
But she was despised for the following reasons, in no particular order:
She is a woman.
- She is a Christian.
- She is an unbowed and unrepentant conservative.
- She is an attractive conservative, Christian woman.
- She is an attractive, conservative, Christian, woman with five children.
- and, she is hated because she didn’t sacrifice Trig to Roe v Wade.
Contrary to the Goebbels tactics mounted against her, she has a good sense of humor and is quite self-effacing, she is very intelligent and politically savvy and still has far more executive experience than your president who, because of his ineptitude and Marxist philosophy, has near-doomed this great nation.
Because of her lack of big league experience, I was opposed to her as the VP nomine in 2008. But due to the party insistence on nominating Socialist Lite to run against The Socialists, she was the only bright spot in one of the most inept national campaigns on record.
Running her when they did was desperation considering McCain could never move the country, let alone bring his party together. By running her national before she was ready they wasted her talent early, and what might have been is only that.
And she was/is not the answer for 2012, but she is an effective rallying point for The People to regain control of the Republican party and the Congress. With a well-organized bully pulpit, she can monkey wrench the socialists while a long-needed right-wing coup regains control of the GOP.
I plan on sending Gov. Palin a letter of congratulations for (I hope) finally washing her hands of politics. She is just the latest casualty among those well-intentioned patriots who still see public service as just that.
And this is what politics (especially if you are politics' minority’s minority—conservatives) does to you… Clarence Thomas, Judge Bork, John Bolton and on, ad museum.
There are far better people in science and industry, health care, the military, and in my small town, that those who “represent” us on the state and national level.
Her future….? I hope it includes a wonderful life with her family and friends and, like Johnny Carson when he decided it was time to leave, just steps into the shadows.
And now on the Joe Bupkis front (courtesy of Gateway Pundit):
The man is dangerous... Obama Administration foreign policy guru and chief idiot Joe Biden just gave the terrorists in Iraq the glimmer of hope they so desperately needed.
Prairie Pundit reported on this from The Washington Post:
Vice President Biden warned Iraqi officials Friday that the American commitment to Iraq could end if the country again descended into ethnic and sectarian violence.
Biden delivered the warning during a three-day visit to Iraq that began Thursday, just a few days after the United States formally withdrew most combat troops from Iraqi cities under a security agreement reached last year. It was the vice president's first visit since President Obama asked him to take the lead on Iraq policy.
Biden who pushed a disastrous plan to partition Iraq was tapped by Obama this past week to be the White House point of contact on Iraq.
Ahh, the Peter Principal remains with us. Does anyone remember the Vice President of the United States congratulating our troops of their hard-won success in Iraq. Get back to me when you can.
Bombiran….
The Times of London (via HotAir) that “… the Saudis have agreed to tacitly allow Israelis to transit their airspace to attack Iran and end its nuclear program. The Mossad has worked with the Saudis for several years as the Iranian threat in the region grew, and the Saudis — and other Arab states — would be privately relieved to have Tehran’s nuclear ambitions curtailed. But is now the right time, while the mullahs teeter in Iran?”
I think now is exactly the right time… the Iranian people are standing up and the CIA operatives there would certainly convey to them our support in overthrowing the concernment…. oh, wait, I’m sorry, I thought I was back in the 1980s and we were running the Commies out of Nicaragua by arming the Contras.
And this just in:
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former D.C. mayor, now Washington councilman, Marion Barry has been arrested again.
On July 4, the U.S. Park Police arrested Barry and charged him with misdemeanor stalking.
About 8:45 p.m. in Anacostia Park, a Washington woman flagged down a Park Police officer on patrol and pointed to Barry, who was in another car. The woman said Barry was stalking her, Park Police spokesman Sgt. David Schlosser said.
Barry was taken into custody, processed and released, but he must make a court appearance for the charge. A court date has not been set.
This is what happens when large numbers of socialists gather in large population centers…. crack-head, stalking mayors, poverty, high crime, high taxes, rampant unemployment, schools unworthy of the utility bills paid to keep them open and the eventual jailing of the top democrats.
It’s America’s… learn to love it… or leave it.

"If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."
--Harry Truman
Hell, even scumbag Bill Clinton didn't quit when pilloried. Is Mrs. Palin lapsing into "victimhood" mode after her embarrassing, pathetic (non)-performance last fall? If so smart. why could she NOT foresee the microscopic examination of her that was to come and that is, as unseemly as it sometimes becomes, the way of presidential politics in this era of "news" overload. And if so brilliantly savvy, why was she so averse to briefings that might have helped prevent her from coming across as the deer-in-the-headlights beauty pageant contestant grasping desperately for answers - ANY answers - to legitimate questions. She got a "free pass" in politics based a good deal on her looks & folksy ways. When the heat of Truman's kitchen arrived, she withered.

The Left is SO AFRAID of Sarah Palin!! I won't blame her if she washes her hands of all this, but would really like her to be a POSITIVE force for the future. and that HuffPo writer would DO WELL TO WATCH HIS ASS, lest he be the recipient of a gift from a BARRETT............ what TRULY hateful, vile scum they are. ===== The Saudis are no dummies. They KNOW the collateral damage that would DESTROY their Kingdom, and quite possibly their culture, if Iran is allowed to pursue these nuclear ends. You are right , this IS possibly an opportune time to 'instigate' a rebellion, via agents, etc. I mean , we ARE already being accused of it right? == Marion Barry et al...... "concentrated targets'.....'nuff said...

The rift opened over the last decades and widened over the past years requires something more substantial than the furrowed-brows from elitists, left and right, who declare that those and only those deemed worthy may seek public office.
The rigorous indoctrination from the left puts the US squarely on target to become a national version of Detriot, New Orleans, and Oakland. And that is somehow my damned fault - for using logic and reason, the rule of law, and respecting private property I suppose. And supporting a candidate who makes her decisions based on what's good for those who elected her, well, that's clearly a sign of intolerance and anger. It's off to the re-education camps for me.
The announcement by Sarah Palin, and her subsequent interviews, are a good sign. Critics and keepers of the current flame be damned.

She's Reagan. The left always belittles those on our side they fear. ALWAYS They can't engage in a debate of visions because we have too many examples of their failed policies so they do what they always do. They demonize. They lie. They project their sick behavior onto our heros-and believe all of it.
I am now at the point of believing it's going to take blood to stop this. Our culture, our media and information delivery, our education system, all under the control of the left and all of them spewing America hatred 24/7.
On one hand I wish her the best and maybe she'll come to enjoy being left alone and will stay off the public stage. OTOH, she is the star of conservatism and there is no one that would galvanize the silent majority like she would-maybe the next years will see her take the path Reagan took, that is touring the country, speaking out. Formulating and solidifying her positions. Writing.
We already know she has what you just can't buy. At any price. And can you imagine the crazy shit fits that her running for President would drive the left into? O M G! I have never seen anyone on our side vilified like this. Not Reagan. Not W-no one.
That also would for once and all, put the lie to ANY claim by the left dominated media that they are unbiased-not that anyone but the most moronic believe that now. You think the current moron in the WH is polarizing? Sarah would cleanly cleave the country-who could possibly say they were undecided?
