I just hope that in November 2012 we will elect Sarah Palin as President!

I Am Sarah Palin’s Brain
American Thinker ^ | 02/22/10 | Stuart Schwartz
Posted on Mon Feb 22 00:51:37 2010 by American Dream 246
I am Sarah Palin’s brain.
I’m here, I’m healthy, and I’m doing very well, thank you. Contrary to what you’re told by the elites of both right and left, I exist.
And, unlike the brains of our beltway politicians and pundits, mainstream media and Hollywood grandees, my neurons are not stuck on “I” or kicking into hyperdrive at the thought of controlling every waking moment in the life of Joe the Plumber or Josie the Beautician.
No, I am an American brain, savvy and predisposed toward optimism, the kind of gray matter powering the doers of this country since our founding. Robin of Berkeley, the resident psychotherapist of American Thinker, says my “sunny disposition” allows me to “(glide) by like a majestic bird in flight.”
Hey, I’ll take it! Sort of ironic, isn’t it, as I represent what Time magazine calls “a nation of dodos.” Dodos, of course, can’t fly; they just produce weekly news magazines, work at MSNBC, or nest in the newsroom of the New York Times. And Dodo birds are extinct — there’s a lesson in there somewhere.
Now, if I were encased by the head of a member of our intellectual class (say, New York Times columnist David Brooks) I would call that reasoning by analogy, and be very impressed by myself. But I’m not. I’m just Sarah Palin’s brain.
And, as for that sunny disposition — guilty as charged! Hey, I’m made of the right stuff, the Ronald Reagan kind of stuff that wouldn’t be seen hanging between the ears of Joy Behar, or the two Barney’s (Frank and Fife) hiding beneath the scalp of Brooks. Or behind the scowl on the face of Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) — can you spell “shriveled walnut”?
I am an unapologetically American brain, the same kind that French philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville found powering our success with unique “American optimism.” And I understand that intelligence is more than how much you know; it includes character, personality, and wisdom. Well, gosh darn it — is that a bit of philosophy?
Yes, it is... and I didn’t even attend Yale. Yale, of course, is the alma mater of CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, who used his Ivy League training and Vanderbilt genes to come up with the insightful, intellectually robust adjective describing America’s pushback on spending as “tea-bagging.” This is the kind of refined insight of which I — with my “low soap-box oratory” and state college education — am incapable, as Dorothy Rabinowitz of the Wall Street Journal pronounced. Thank You Lord, and thank you University of Idaho.
That’s okay. You keep on thinking I’m a “joke” as Brooks and Bill Press, the former CNN and MSNBC brain truster, put it. MSNBC and brain trust — hah! What MSNBC commentators know about intelligence, well...you can fit into the same thimble that holds the business smarts of New York Times publisher Pinch Sulzberger and still have room for Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson’s integrity (”Cornhusker Kickback”).
I am Sarah Palin’s brain. And, unlike our intellectual class, I truly understand intelligence. It isn’t about reading the Washington Post, swimming in a media-anointed gene pool, or attending a ‘name’ university. This is not intelligence; rather, it is arrogance, snobbery.
You see, if arrogance were intelligence then Washington would be a fount of innovation, the New York Times a robust and growing media company, and mainstream media networks running segments titled “Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly — Where Are They Now?”
But, thank God, intelligence is not defined by the corpse (you see, our president had it right) of elite media executives in residence at Trump Towers or Beltway politicians whose answer to the debt Armageddon they created is to spend more, faster.
Nor is it defined by George Will, God bless’im. George is a media-certified, award-winning conservative intellectual and Washington Post columnist who has a doctorate from Princeton University. This Ivy League school also helped the designers of Obama health care understand, for example, that people with Down Syndrome — my baby Trig — have “less right to continue to live than an adult Gorilla.”
And so George takes a look at me, Sarah Palin’s brain, and decides that my “intellectual ordinariness” just can’t cut it. There’s nothing distinctive about me, nothing special like the neurons powering the Beltway and media grandees.
Okay, I’m different — I admit it. I don’t have the outsized intellect of, say, a Patrick Kennedy, whose inherited wealth, fabled genes, and Phillips Andover pedigree produced a legislator whose most notable accomplishment over a 16-year congressional career was redecorating a concrete barrier on Capitol Hill with his car during an alcoholic bender.
Dr. George also points to my governorship as the only “serious” job I’ve ever held. Spoken like a card-carrying member of the political and media elite. I was the mayor of a small town, was on its city council, helped my husband with his commercial fishing business, and worked as a waitress to pay for college, all the while bearing and raising five children. Not serious?
Hey, I’m just Sarah Palin’s brain, but there are three hundred million people in this country engaged in just this kind of ‘unserious’ stuff. It’s called work. It’s called life. And it’s the stuff that de Tocqueville celebrated. And he was a French aristocrat — how much more elite can you get than that?
Only to a Washington/New York brain is small government trivial, motherhood unworthy of note, and a waitress something you force between two senators (the “waitress sandwich” of powerful Democrats Christopher Dodd and Ted Kennedy).
I am Sarah Palin’s brain. Am I different than those powering our media and political elites? You betcha.
And if de Tocqueville were alive he would probably add: “Vive la difference!”

I’m 57 Years old. I have been conservative since I made the mistake of voting for Jimmy Carter, He was supposed to be a Born Again Christian. He never looked to the Bible. He was pro-abortion. His policies were anti-Israel and also anti-American. We the people were to blame for the bad economy. He didn’t have the guts to go get our hostages out of Iran and he is the reason the people of Iran are still in bondage.

I will say, “right now is the worst economy in my life time”, So Jimmy Carter is now off the hook.

Then came President Reagan... What a great man! The best President since Abe Lincoln.

Reagan had to fight the press, but nothing like what Sarah Palin has had to put up with.

There is not a man out there that says it like it is like Palin.

In the Bible God used Esther, a women, to save Israel.

The is not a Man out there in the Republican Party that Is MORE BOLD, MORE OF A LEADER and MORE OF A MAN THEN ANY MAN OUT THERE... then our SARAH.

In her time She is the most hated Republican which she also has in common with President Reagan.

When I say I love Sarah Palin I mean I love her America as I loved Reagan’s America.

I tell you this, there are a lot of Americans that would go to hell and back for her. I hope to live long enough to call her Commander in Chief.

What do YOU THINK?

DeMint also tells it like it is, but he says he’s not going to run.

Other than DeMint, you may be right. There’s not a man out there as brave and as on-point as Sarah.

I don’t understand your post #53 at all.

We’re not allowed to post what we believe because it might “pit us against each other”?

And if the acronym means what I think it means I don’t see what it applies to in this thread... at all. No one said anything like that.

Are you currently under medication?

Should you be?

Oh c’mon. Ease up. You don’t have to read the thread. He’s just expressing his enthusiasm for Palin. Nothing wrong with that. He’s not a great or even very coherent writer but so what. He wants to tell the world how much he loves Palin. And he’s going a bit overboard. In one thread out of the hundreds of thousands of threads posted here in FR. Give the guy a break.

The OP is trying to pit us against each other with a Reagan vs Palin thread. It's a common troll tactic.

Plus, if you read all the responses, you'll see I'm not the only one that caught this and I'm not even the harshest critic.

And if the acronym means what I think it means I don’t see what it applies to in this thread... at all. No one said anything like that.

Well now I'm confused, did you read any of this thread? I'm not the one that used the acronym, the OP is....twice. I didn't even know what it meant until someone else told me. I will agree that the acronym had no place on this thread and didn't fit...which is why I asked about it!

I apologize regarding the acronym. I didn’t read every word on this rather wordy thread. I should have done a search before accusing you of being the first to post it.

And yes this thread is a bit juvenile, but so what? You see a troll, I see someone with a lot of enthusiasm. And I don’t see the harm.

What is the total number of threads posted in FR each year? It’s got to be in the tens of thousands, no?

I just don’t see the point of getting yourself worked up regarding one persons enthusiastic vanity thread. I mean, really, you can just make it a policy not to read any vanity posts at all, and you won’t be missing much by doing so.

Anyway, sorry again about falsely accusing you of inserting that acronym into the discussion.

factmart has been here for nearly 10 years. He probably isn’t a troll but just a nitwit.
Sorry, factmart, but I have to laugh. I have defended you here, as being "enthusiastic", but you would probably do yourself more good by reading more, thinking more, and posting a bit less stridently.

OP is Original Poster.

The reason I reacted to the Reagan vs Palin tone of the thread is that is gives those who knock Palin on this forum a reason to argue against her.

I feel she can stand on her own and, even though I see the comparisons, I'd like to keep the "she's not Reagan" meme out of the equation.

Good point. I’ve said what I said in defense of this thread and I won’t say no more.

The OP is on his own. He doesn’t seem to be very intelligent and I’m not going to waste any more words in his defense.

I think he should read more, think more and post less.

Having said that, I do share his enthusiasm for Sarah, and I say that without making any derogatory statements about past Great Conservative Leaders.

To me the big question regarding Palin is not whether or not she will make a great president — I’m sure she will — but whether or not she can be elected. And I honestly believe that she herself is thinking about that question very seriously and that she herself will answer it. If she chooses not to run, I believe I will know the reason why. If she chooses to run, I will do everything I can to help her.

She would do a lot to hurt the men having sex with men lifestyle,

Do you think she will repeal the vote that we just had on DADT?
