Comments on: Update II: The Palin Premise https://barelyablog.com/the-palin-premise/ by ilana mercer Thu, 15 Aug 2024 20:31:52 +0000 hourly 1 By: a harrison smith https://barelyablog.com/the-palin-premise/comment-page-1/#comment-10212 Sun, 16 May 2010 20:14:24 +0000 http://barelyablog.com/?p=25315#comment-10212 I think its a waste of energy to carry on about every single thing
Palin says : she gets the press quotes that others do not on the main stream media and she is out there trying to stem the looni left tide.in that she’s succeeding.
I think its more important at this point in the culture war tofocus hatred and venom on the destructive and suicidal mainstream mediaa and the utterly
Incomprehensible actions (e non actions) of congress as thy try to get cap e trade and amnesty done before november.I also think there could be a war in the persian gulf by end july/august
So its important to focus on the real enemies ofamerica !
EU not looking good either: so I feel that usa has huge amount of violent and oppressive enemieswho are very busy breaking down liberty for usa and world in general: with assistance of united nations ON USA SOIL:
Bizarre that no one is stopping iran getting on human rights council(on american soil!!)
Main issue is to stop the socialistic tide. Then the cultural war can be refined by 2012

Apparently, she is lending her support to AZ Governor Jan Brewer on the immigration bill.

While somewhat less than principled, I would not declare the other figures mentioned in your update to be valueless. Polarizing figures do serve to wake people up. This process, which the left correctly visualizes as a step by step radicalization, has to start somewhere.

I am a former blind follower of these so called conservative leaders. Their hunger for war is horrifying! I do understand their version of “conservatism” because it was mine for many years. Too many people in this country do not understand the constitution, the bill of rights, and limited government. You used the word ignorant in referring to their blind followers and you are correct. Also, they are whores for the wars. I am still learning and I learn from you everyday. I want you to know that I appreciate the work you do here Ilana. Thank you.

[Thanks Greg; sorry to have sounded so exacerbated, but sometimes it seems hopeless.]

Although it is very common for young, unmarried women to become pregnant these days, and to give birth out of wedlock, this is not typically considered a source of great pride among American Christians. I believe Bristol has elsewhere stated that telling her mother about her pregnancy was worse than going through labor. So something is amiss (in addition, of course, to the fact that by continuing her support for an unjust war, Mrs. Palin is helping deprive Iraqi kids of their rights to life in rather cruel ways. Ditto for the poor children of the Af-Pak theater.)

People who buy into this crap while rejecting the message of individual liberty, peace, free market economy and non-interventionist foreign policy deserve what comes. The only problem is they are not the only ones to suffer the consequences….

From the NRA site:

Invited speakers to this unique, members-only event include: Governor Mike Huckabee; Governor Mitt Romney; Governor Haley Barbour; Governor Bob McDonnell; Governor Jeb Bush; Governor Mitch Daniels; Governor Bev Perdue; Senator Scott Brown; Senator Richard Burr; Senator Jim DeMint; Senator Jim Webb; Congressman John Tanner; Congressman Heath Shuler; Steve Forbes; Elizabeth Hasselbeck; Chuck Norris; and Michael Reagan.

Myron Pauli: Spot on with the Real Republican Trademark!

She was speaking of Texas Governor Rick Perry. He’s an open-borders enthusiast, and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. http://www.infowars.com/rick-perrys-cynical-effort-to-exploit-the-tea-party-movement-and-states-rights/

Sarah is a parochial ignoramus and self-aggrandizing buffoon.

Exception noted, the party of Lincoln has a long history wherein the Likes of Goldwater and Paul are the exception to the norm. However, in my limited capacity to label appropriately, I find a loss of descriptive names for Palin and McCain or Grahams and am unable to make a point without going into the gutter. I still believe that the ‘Republican platform’ is represented by Ron Paul, a lot more than Palin, or McCain or Graham and prefer to call him the true Republican.

Look, she’s pretty much just a regular person who speaks her mind and heart. There’s nothing wrong or destructive about that. Besides she’s not running for any public office; all this hand wringing on the Right about whether to vote for her or someone else also lacks certain logic. I for one have had my fill of elitists and intellectuals who read to me their carefully calibrated words from the teleprompter. She’s popular; she’s drives the Left insane, and she’s mostly right on the issues.

She’s the one who puts asses in seats whenever she speaks and anti-Democrat voters in the voting booths at election time. She is getting the job done. She’s out there taking it on the chin from nearly everybody, except regular Americans who haven’t seen a spokesperson in ages. MIchele Bachmann? She’s great and I probably would vote for her before I would vote for Sarah but that doesn’t diminish Sarah’s effect on the masses. Does anybody think the Republicans got 55,000,000 votes because people liked John McCain or even liked the Republican party? No, it was Sarah, and as long as we’re talking vote providers let’s not forget Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and their ilk. Maybe they’re not classical conservatives but we’re in a down and dirty war to save the Republic and Sarah and company are leading the charge. Until somebody more deserving wants to get into the fight I’ll support Sarah and Rush and Ann and all the rest of the not so sophisticated yokels who are getting in the fight.
