— Ace David Brooks just emailed me to say "Well, I guess I have my next three months of columns all blocked out." Kathleen Parker emailed to inform me her head just exploded, "just like in Scanners."
It's like a Woodstock of Pure Evil.
Rep. Michele Bachman will be the Breakfast Speaker Friday morning and Rep. Marsha Blackburn will be introducing Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska (2006 - 2009) and 2008 Republican Vice Presidential Nominee, Saturday evening at the Convention's closing night banquet.
February 4-6th at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville.
Not sure if this means she's seriously considering running or, as I've tended to think, more interested in being an spokeswoman for the cause.

No. Not when everything I cherish and believe in is in danger of being ducked down the black maw of socialism by a group of half wits, only most of which are members of the Democratic (Socialist) Party. A vigorous fight now might avert rivers of blood in the future.

palin likes money too much to run for president, where she'd have to wait to collect her (additional) millions. that's why she quit her other political office, to get that fat cash a little more readily while she still looks young enough to have sex appeal without needing surgical intervention. i suspect as the grandmother-aspect becomes less hideable, her popularity will tumble.
not sure why anyone sees her as anything other than a woman who failed to make it in television celebrity until she found out how low the bar was to be good-looking in politics and used that to profit wildly.
but then alaska is a state that can barely function without government money, with a bunch of (white) people who claim they are so independent as they cripple the natives who actually can live on the land by stealing their food and hunting territory.
i do long for an actual populist to come along who could unite people in a non-partisan way, because the real enemy is the gummint, and not really one half or the other half of america's sole political party.

McCain may have inadvertently done conservatives a huge favor by introducing us to her.
McLame deserves zero credit for that. Most of us were already "introduced" to her long before McLame came on the stage. He needed someone to shore up his cred with the base and she was it.
Hence, she was already "in with" the conservative base.

But I still cannot claim to be enthusiastic about the thought of her as president. I am probably willing to give it a try. It could be worse. She does not strike me as a demagogue.... yet.
I worry that prince obama and his cast of thugs are building such a backlash that we are in some danger of a conservative demagogue winning the office. That would make me little happier than the commie demagogue we have now.
I want to see the democrats crushed, but I am too libertarian in my views to believe that any old conservative will do. But if it happens I suppose it will at least be fun to watch.

I must say that is interesting watching America's immune reaction to the whole thing. Hopefully it won't be too late and that the backlash won't create as many problems as it solves. I do not have a lot of faith in human nature, and while I can easily say I would prefer to have conservatives in office I am not a conservative myself and and view them with suspicion as well.

Or it might not. It might hasten that dread day, or might simply shift its locale.
I'm on record as believing that another civil war of a kind is in the offing for this country sometime in the coming years -- the schism between left and right is simply growing too wide to permit any other outcome. We have a political class that is unwilling or unable to actually, you know, govern; a transnational caste of elites who feel no allegiance towards or affection for the nation in which they live; and a vast number of citizens who are so addicted to entitlements that any attempt to remove them would provoke a severe domestic crisis.
Given that reality, much of the hue and cry right now amounts to re-arranging the deck-chairs on the Titanic. I've almost come to the point that I hope for a collapse sooner rather than later so that I'm still young enough to deal with the chaos that ensues. (Almost.)

"I also think the Tea Party out to stay out of abortion and other social issues. Stick to economics. Then they win."
BINGO! I 100% support her on financial, national security, indiv. rights, no judicial activism and conservative of the US Constitution! I am pro-choice, do I care that she is pro-life? NO!!!!!!
Hell, I even donated money to Bob Mcdonneld as a still-registered democrat last year mainly b/c he is a fiscal conservative, didn't care that he is pro-life and the Wash post acting like a campaign manager to Craig Deeds didn;t help him in my eyes. Did I care what Bob Mcdonneld said about women 20+ years ago? NO!!!!! Do I care what that Marxist in the White House said about the US Constitution 6 years ago (calling it "fundamentally flawed") HELL YES!
Hey Obot Trolls, you have a bigger issue that conservatives & repubs, you have disgusted lifelong democrats like me who are MORE pissed off at the Marxist and the marxist party he is in charge of now than I was EVER at George Bush and Dick Cheney.

I also think civil unions aren't really detrimental to society.
It's 3% of the population. Who gives a crap? Might turn them into Republicans with all the marriage tax penalties they'd pay.
There's nothing libertarian about a position that government should issue and endorse legal contracts recognizing relationships that the governed collectively deem to be of dubious, if not detrimental, value, especially when doing so requires the total re-invention of a societal institution -- and the de facto codification of new "rights" -- that long predates government as we understand it.
Make no mistake -- the pro-gay-marriage-by-fiat position is a statist position, and therefore one that I definitely "give a crap" about. Breezy indifference to statist acts doesn't make one a libertarian either. It's difficult to take libertarians seriously when they should be the ones most strenuously objecting to the Stalinist end-runs by which this "progressive" wet dream has been advanced.
A libertarian argument on this front would be that governments should get out of the marriage business altogether. So long as the state is going to be in the social engineering racket, however, it's absolutely appropriate that the citizenry agitate to control that engineering to its liking.

I am pro-choice abortion, do I care that she is pro-life? NO!!!!!!
um, no, I am not pro-abortion, I do not believe that life begins at conception, I do not believe in partial birth abortion or in late term abortion. Does this mean I support Planned ParentHood, no, they used to be about family planning in preventing pregancies decades ago, now they are all about profiting from abortions.
I hope you people realise that most Independents are not social conservatives but we are not some extreme pro-abortion people like Obama,
Most independents/centerists I know are conservatives when it comes to pretty much every other issue, but as for social issues we are moderates. If Bob Mcdoneld had run only as a social conservative, I would not have donated a tremendous amt of money his way.
As for the tea party movemement, I am glad their main thrust is NOT social issues. If they make it about social issues, they will lose many social centerist/ fiscal-national security conservatives like me.

If I were a Republican candidate and said I was for limiting abortion, but not taking away the right to choose-the far right wing of the party would not support me.
I think this is incorrect if you want a big tent. The litmus test ought to come in fiscal conservatism, appointing judges that are strict constructionists, being strong on national defense and for cutting government, and the role of government in our lives. Abortion is an issue that shouldn't be in the top 5 of issues that Republicans run on.
Most of the country would agree with limiting but not prohibiting abortion.

Yeah, there are millions of 'em. Frankly, this has always mystified me. I mean, among civilized people, this much should be pretty obvious: Ya don't go around killing innocent people who can't defend themselves.
Shouldn't that be in the "Well, DUH!" category?
This is not rocket science, folks. Anyone who hems and haws about "nuance" and "gray areas", etc., on something as elementary as not killing the innocent is, in my opinion, simply not being honest with themselves--usually because they have some personal stake in not facing reality in this area.

As for "gay marriage". Am I the only one who's noticed that this country's decline has pretty much followed the same "curve" as it's moral decline?
Posted by: teej at January 07, 2010 03:52 PM (QdUKm)
Nope, not the only one.
And here's a good quote I came across today--from C.S. Lewis:
"I am very doubtful whether history shows us one example of a man who, having stepped outside traditional morality and attained power, has used that power benevolently." (from C.S. Lewis' The Abolition of Man)

Where is the "evil Cheney spawn", Liz? Liz drives them apoplectic. Some liberal babe was saying that Liz has the heart of killer
Wouldn't you love to see Liz Cheney as Sec of Defense? Oh, ye-a-ah....
What do Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann and Liz Cheney all have in common? (Other than they're all smart, beautiful and fearless?) I'll tell you: Each of them is a mother of five children. The reason they're fierce is: They're fighting for the sake of their KIDS.
Can you say "Mama Lion"?
I am woman, hear me roar...GRRRR-RRR-RRRR!!!!!
