Sarah Palin a Modern Cold War Hero in the Making
Associated Content ^ | May 4, 2011 | Mark Whittington

It is considered unusual for a former governor who holds no public office and is not currently running for another to have a foreign policy adviser. But Sarah Palin, not known for being conventional, has chosen Peter Schweizer for that job.

Schweizer is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution with expertise in international relations, national security affairs, and the U.S. presidency. He is also the author of a number of books, including two on President Reagan, one on the Bush family, and a critique on the effects of big government on the world economy.

Most recently, Schweizer published a critique of President Obama's policy in Libya, which he says has all of the elements of, what he calls an "overused analogy," another Vietnam. His critique echoes that Palin, which may partly explain why he is now working for her.

One can make the obvious analogies. Schweizer may be Palin's version of Condoleeza Rice or, even, Henry Kissinger, the power behind the throne who helped shape foreign policy in a White House second only to the president. Palin has not even announced a run for the presidency, not to speak of actually winning the office. But it may well be that we already know whom her National Security Adviser will be should she attain the Oval Office.....

“New World Order” was just GHWBush’s attempt at the “vision thing” that would help get him reelected. Conspiracy theorists looked at his past connections, the Iraq war, and his background with the CIA, the declining state of the economy, and concluded that he was trying to take over the world and remake it to serve his shadowy, nefarious motivations.

The target, the goal, the problem:

Reload, practice and reload again.

What I’d like to see Sarah Palin do is to stop making money simply by courting controversy but take on the Republican establishment politicians that are deemed “more electable” and beat them at their own game. She seems to be failing at that much less fighting a successful “culture war” with an exit strategy, but yes she doe$ have her following.

She was promoting candidates who might do her some favors later perhaps, but Sarah Palin wasn’t running for anything.

I must plead ignorance about DU amd Huff&Blow, but there are plenty of other forums with fewer people who take themselves entirely too seriously.
