Sarah Palin At High Noon

By Lloyd Marcus

I just watched the classic movie "High Noon" (again). Gary Cooper played a brave sheriff who brought law and order to his town. As one woman said, "He made it safe for a decent woman to walk down the street". A recently released outlaw was coming back to town on the noon train to deliver vengeance against the sheriff who put him away. His gang of three arrived early to help their leader take out the sheriff.

Fully aware of why the bad men were in town, the sheriff could not arrest them because they had not broken any laws. Waiting is not illegal.

Desperate, the sheriff interrupted a church service to solicit help. After much debate, the ungrateful town folks declined. They even suggested the sheriff "get out of town" hoping the trouble would follow him. The sheriff contemplated their recommendation. He began saddling his horse, but something inside would not allow him to run away. Heroically, the sheriff faced the bad guys and won!

I thought of another strong, gutsy, bold, stand-on-principles hero, Sarah Palin, in her own modern day version of High Noon. Sheriff Palin rode into America Town on a white horse with conservative guns blazing and saved a dead McCain campaign. She brought hope to weary and battered conservative town folks and gave them a reason to vote.

Outlaw Obama and his posse, the hate filled liberal media/Democrat gang, came to town a gunnin' to politically eliminate Sheriff Palin. They ambushed her at Miss Katie Couric's CBS saloon. Though wounded numerous times, Sheriff Palin survived.

She bravely stood tall and rode high in the saddle while ungrateful, weak kneed Republican town folks ran for cover, hid in their homes and peeked nervously through the curtains.

Why are Obama and his gang so committed and desperate to destroy Palin? Could it be they recognize her destiny, like that of Moses, to set her people free? And why is she so despised by them? Obama's gang hate Palin for all the reasons we love her. Sheriff Palin is a good, decent and strong character driven conservative leader. Palin also believes in God. Such humility and virtues are as repulsive to liberals as showing Dracula the cross.

Something that sticks in the craw of many liberal women is that in their youth, they brought into the feminist rhetoric that women's liberation means no husband and family. Tragically, they find themselves aging and alone. Meanwhile, this conservative woman has it all: great career, fine family and a husband who loves and respects her. Adding insult in injury, Sheriff Palin looks mighty fine in her jeans.

Recently, the libs sent an old washed up gunslinger, the Letterman Kid, to challenge Sheriff Palin to a shoot out. Palin planted two bullets between the pathetic old dude's wrinkly eyes before he could un-holster his gun.

Despite Sheriff Palin's courage and willingness to fight, Obama and his posse rule America Town. They are in the process of taking over everything! Obama took over the livery stable and banned horses. While he and his posse continue riding horses, we town folks are forced to ride miniature ponies.

But in the spirit of what has made America Town great, an uprising is a brewin'. A huge conservative posse is building daily. Our first battle will be in 2010 to win back America Town's House and Senate. Then, in 2012, God willing and the creek don't rise, Sheriff Palin will lead us to victory in the battle of Little Big Washington DC. Years earlier, another great lawman cleaned up America Town, Sheriff Ronald Reagan.

After Sheriff Palin sweeps out the Obama gang, perhaps once again, we will be as what Sheriff Reagan affectionately called us, "a shining city on a hill".

[counterpunch]

The prospect of possibly going up against 0bama with someone as incapable as Sarah Palin scares me.
Sarah couldn’t bring in the votes last time, and yet her apologists keep trying to find others to blame. We already know who wins when you put a ticket with 0bama up against a ticket with Palin.
Are we really going to try the same thing again and expect a different result?

[counterpunch]

“Stop digging” isn’t good enough.
We’re going to have to roll back the 0bama agenda just to break even.
We’ve still got a lot of damage from Johnson, Nixon, and FDR to undo. Not to mention George W. Bush. We still haven’t even fixed the education mess made by Jimmy Carter. Instead, Bush made it worse.

We’re going to need someone who can get people onboard a reform agenda. Bush couldn’t, because his ability to communicate and persuade was lacking, and he commanded very little respect on Capitol Hill because of it. So instead, if he wanted a legislative victory, he had to co-opt Ted Kennedy’s agenda. Palin would be even less persuasive, command even less respect, and be even less of a leader.

Palin’s entire political career is characterized by playing defense to her critics, and it would just be more of the same if she somehow got elected president. However, someone who spends their whole time playing defense can’t advance an agenda and thus isn’t going to get elected.

You are right dead on the money...We are on the same page...

My insinuation was just a personal check...Yeah, I should not have done that, but I had to know fo sur...

If Newt can weather the storm, then sure, some of his stuff he used to be about still resonates with me...

I recall a few things I kept scratching my head about in recent years about him...I speak in generalities at this time because I dismissed them as quirks, or spur of the moment idiosincracies that didn’t matter “too” much in the bigger scheme of things...

My biggest fault with him was he didn’t stick to his guns...He had a tremendous amount of support, even when the attacks on him and the Republicans in general were at their hieght...I attribute that loss also to what Tom DeLay did to my district when they went after him...

When you are right you are right...And no amount of BS is going to change things, if you just stick with it...

But all of that is water under the bridge...

You and I and many others are wondering the same things...Who will step up, when will the Republican party leadership get their collective heads out of their arses and stop settling for people who sound and look good, but cannot compete with liberal/socialists...

It is not going to get any easier in 2010 and 2012...

What is going to be telling, and I have yet to find the discussion on this, is that not only is the government spending money like mad, they just passed this latest bill yesterday that is going to tax us into oblivion...

The only respite is that I see the spending our future unborn generations future away, they are going to have to pay for it already, even after we are dead and gone...

How do you find enough people to represent us that are willing to die (figuratively, politically or even literally) to correct that???

I do not see a lot of people out there with the courage to do so...

You do not need to be a financial wizard to do and support things which will correct it...

I can’t believe how many folks here basically take the Democrat side when it comes to Palin.

Since FR does not ban DU’ers, they are in abundance on this site.

[chainsaw]

Well, we have a problem. Someone like Romney simply “can’t whip up a crowd.”, and he can’t “connect” either with a crowd or individuals. He’s a stiff.

In my mind Romney is the Pretty Boy of the RINO’s

[PaulSt]

I know why the media and the dumbocrats always ridicule Sara Palin. It’s because she’s not one of the Washington elitist, she didn’t go to an Ivy league school,and she’s not a progressive. She’s a real person who’s down to earth and thinks like most Americans regardless what the left says about her. By the way, I voted for Palin and Mcain only because he was on the ticket.

[W. W. SMITH]

Enough! Put a sock in it fool.

[Globalist Goon]

So you can’t think of one candidate?

[Bryan24]

WHO DO YOU WANT?

Don’t give me a list of who you dislike. Give me one name of who YOU think could win.

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks Gargantua. Glad to see someone else sees this the way I do.

[DoughtyOne]

Evidently.

[NoGrayZone]

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful!

[Turret Gunner A20]

The attempt by some on our side to envent an 0bamaesque mythology around Sarah Palin is going to come back to bite us in the butt.

Elucidate, please.

Elucidate, please.

Do you really think that someone who uses 'envent' will be able to elucidate?

[NoGrayZone]

"It’s time for us to admit that maybe John McCain doesn't’t have the best judgement after all."

We already knew that. And we also know Sarah prevented mclame from an embarrassing landslide.

[mdmathis6]

I thought the statement was very understandable from a parent’s point of view...and having had two girls of my own!

Bush won 2 elections despite his so called “speach” issues and even Barak won despite his “I uh you know Hope and change uh my Musli uhh Christian faith” colloquialisms. So get over your self!

[NoGrayZone]

"McCain didn’t offer people a reason to vote for the ticket."

Oh yes he did....her name was Sarah.

[McGruff]

The prospect of possibly going up against 0bama with someone as incapable as Sarah Palin scares me.

One simple question. Who do you feel would be a better candidate?

[NoGrayZone]

Good luck getting an answer.

as a fan of McCarthy and McCarthyism I reject the analogy:

Thanks for the link. That is one of the funniest stretches of imagination I have read in a long time. What a ration of BS.
