Sarah Palin: The Horror Movie

I guess you're going to have to trust that I have some excellent blog posts in my head.  I just haven't had the creativity and inclination to commit them to words.

Here's an article I wanted to pass along.  Sarah Palin: The Horror Movie.  The author directs horror movies, and  maintains that left likes to try to scare us into believing terrible things will happen to our country if we elect a conservative as president.  But those bad things never do happen.  

Enemy Camp

The President of the United States. The Commander in Chief of the strongest military on earth. The Leader of the Free World.

He gives a speech at The United States Military Academy at West Point, and how does one of his media hacks characterize it? "He went to enemy camp" Isn't something terribly wrong when the people charged with doing the dirty work of protecting our country consider their commander in chief the 'enemy'? Isn't it even worse when the commander in chief considers his troops the enemy?

I'm sure there will be much backtracking today and 'of-course-I-didn't-really-mean-to-say-thats". But, it's out there.

Here's the antidote to a president who disdains the military.

The Wilding of Sarah Palin

Wow, I just read a great article at American Thinker called The Wilding of Sarah Palin. The author is a former liberal who recently was awakened to how misogynistic the Democratic Party is.

But the biggest shock of all has been realizing that the Democratic Party is hardly an oasis for women. Now that it has been infiltrated by the hard Left, it's a dangerous place for women, children, and other living things

As a reformed liberal myself, with a sociology type degree from a liberal university, I was very familiar with many of the thought processes she's gone through. Great read.

Is That A Fact, Sarah?

I am now holding, in my formerly-fingerpaint-stained-hand, a copy of Going Rogue by Sarah Palin. After hearing that the AP hired 11 fact checkers to dig up dirt on this book (that would be 11 more than they hired for Obama's or Gore's books), Dave asked, "I wonder if the AP is going to send Palin the bill?"

It's hard typing while holding a book.

Not Watching Community

A show I'm not interested in watching is a new one called Community. The ads for it don't interest me in the least.

First of all, it's set in a community college. My gut tells me, ridiculing the students is the thrust of the show.

Secondly, Chevy Chase, Mr. I-Want-Tina-Fey-To-Decimate-Sarah-Palin, is one of the stars of the show.

You know, maybe it's a great, well-written, funny show. I don't care. Maybe I'm paranoid, but after all of the mockery Sarah Palin endured for having a non-elite education, I can't help thinking that the show is an attempt to jab her.

Did I mention that I attended a community college for 2 years?

A Few Links

First, Sarah Palin posted a great article on facebook about the consequences of the health care bill. You can read it here.

I also liked this one from the Daily Pundit. He characterizes the problems in the GOP this way: Here’s the nut of it: The GOP establishment sees their problem as being that they are out of power. People like me see the problem as being that they are out of power because they have turned their backs on the principles those who once voted for them believe in.

As a warning, he calls the GOP "S**t Sandwich Republicans" a number of times in that article.

Reporting The News

Charlie Gibson, the anchor of the ABC Evening News, said yesterday morning that the reason he hasn't reported on the ACORN scandal is because he hadn't heard anything about it until the Senate voted to withhold funding the other day.

I believe that last night was the first time Katie Couric reported on it at CBS.

If you hold a position that's responsible for telling the American people the news, shouldn't you be aware of major developing stories?

Shouldn't we hold Gibson and Couric to the same standard they held Sarah Palin?

Brain Fog

I'm having trouble linking to an article I just read. It's from a post-partum feminist mom who loves her baby and recognizes that for awhile her brain is going to be foggy because of hormones, sleep deprivation, etc.. That's okay with her because there isn't anything else she'd rather be doing than spending time with her baby.

The article has received a lot of attention and animosity from some feminists because she claims her baby is like an addiction and asks why feminists can't embrace their love for their children. If you're interested, you can go to the main website and scroll around for the article.

You know, your brain is going to be foggy for awhile after having a baby. For some of us (me) longer than for others. Can you imagine being a few months post-partum with a special needs child, being thrust into a whirlwind of travel, having your son ship off to war and being the butt of jokes from national comedians?

No one cut Sarah Palin any slack (nor did she ask for any). Isn't a presidential campaign an extraordinary feat to begin with? To undergo it during the fog of recently having had a baby requires a superhuman effort.

Yes, she needed to be examined as a potential president, but did she need to be dissected? Couldn't she just have been scrutinized to the extent that, oh, say, Obama was?

Another Thing I Have Against The GOP

This is a pet peeve I've had since the election.

When Sarah Palin was selected by McCain, she totally ignited the base. People who never donated to the Republican Party started giving it money. The mother of a special needs infant, she put her life on hold to travel around the country rallying the voters. She was pummelled by the media. Her family was trashed by comedians and bloggers. I can't imagine keeping up with the scheduling and the programming by McCain's operatives. Plus, her son had just been shipped to Iraq.

She gave much more to the GOP than it gave to her.

Couldn't they just have let her keep the clothes?

Sarah Igniting Conservatives

The more I consider Sarah Palin's resignation, the more I applaud it. I'm excited about the fact that she's planning on campaigning for conservative candidates. I'm glad she's aligned herself with the conservative cause, rather than the GOP cause. The Republican party stands for so little, it's hard to get excited about it.

I'm not sure if this analogy works, but I'm going to try it out. Bear with me. I'm envisioning a maypole with streamers flowing and people holding on to the streamers dancing around it. I'm also remembering how years ago a friend of mine described another friend, " 'Frank' is so laid back he's almost prone." So my vision is of a weakened, diluted, hunched over, almost prone GOP as a pole that's impossible to rally around. The conservative values that the GOP once stood for are steadfast and strong. We can rally around them. Sarah can help rally and unite the already disenchanted Tea Party people, as well as the independent voters who are becoming more and more disillusioned with Obama and the Democrats' policies.

The Dems have pushed back debate on Cap and Trade until September. I believe Sarah is supposed to be giving a speech at the Reagan Library on August 8. If we consider that her launch into her new political waters, she'll have plenty of time to pelt the contemptible* Cap and Trade legislation.

I'm excited about her contributing to the election of Republicans in 2010. (Please, please, please let's get rid of Kagen)

*I so much wanted to use the word "crapulent" here, but it didn't quite have the right meaning.

Sarah, hmmm

I think the bogus ethics charges against Sarah have definitely been hampering her ability to do the job she wants to do. I think the phenomenally vehement attacks against her person, and especially against her children (most notably Trig) also played into her decision to resign. But, here's my theory on why she's resigning right now:

Cap and trade. These are extraordinary times. Obama and Congress continue to enact crazy legislation that will sink our country. Cap and trade is the worst, and the majority of Americans don't understand what it's all about. Sarah knows about energy and she knows how to speak to the American people. She can explain to Joe America why it's such a load of ****.

I'm not sure when the Senate is expected to vote on the bill, and she may still be performing her governing duties up until it's voted on. So, my theory is flawed, but I'm clinging to it (along with my religion - I don't have any guns).

Then, she'll move on to trying to defeat Obamacare, and other items on the agenda. And, she'll campaign for congressional republicans in the next election. * Who better to build on the grass roots energy of the tea parties than Sarah? If she can deliver Congress for the republicans, is the fact that she quit as Governor really going to hurt her?

*(I think she'll have some kind of book tour in there, too)

Extreme times call for extreme measures. The democrats need to have controls placed on their power, ASAP. She's in the perfect place to rally Americans.

I really hope I'm right.
