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".

Yes, it is pretty important that Palin isn't the 2012 candidate to me.
It should be important for anyone who doesn't want to hand 0bama reelection.

However, you are mistaken about my involvement with the candidacy of John Kerry.
My satire images taking Kerry to task got quite a lot of exposure on both FR and elsewhere. You can still find many of them on the internet. Here are but a few:

My heavens, such thin skin...

How is it that you interpreted what I addressed to smoothsailing as a reference to you and your home page?

I've got news for ya. It had nothing to do with you.

You are now free to continue making a nuisance of yourself...

It sounds like a lot of excuses from a Palin apologist trying to blame others for Palin’s inability to attract votes.

Your rants have crossed over from being hysterical to completely absurd.

If she attracted voters in the numbers she needed to she would be VP right now.
Showing a picture of a crowd isn’t going to make your case.
Crowds of even 20,000 don’t necessarily translate into 60 million+ votes.
But I think Palin already proved that point.

What makes you think I have an issue with conservatives?
I merely take issue with Sarah Palin’s ability to advance conservatism, electorally or intellectually.

His incessant repetition and obsessive need to continue to post on this thread is telling.

Yes it is, VERY telling...

I posted this on another thread, thought it might fit here as well.

This is a trait (fighting back) people are going to see more of as time goes on (recall Letterman). She was raised in Alaska and women up there are used to pitching in to get things done. It's almost like the lines between what a man does and what a woman does are blurred by necessity. It's a harsh place to live and 'girls' will carry their weight.

There may be a great lesson here that other women may want to emulate, and Sarah would make a great teacher (by example).

For example: Miss California did a fair job handling that little homo who attacked her over 'gay' marriage. Imagine how that would have gone with some coaching from Sarah? She would have helped put this creep back under the rock from which he came.

There may be other examples I can't think of right now, but Mrs. Palin would be a great role-model for young women everywhere. This is one lady who's not about to be steamrolled by anybody and I wish more women could be more like her. The benefits to society would be enormous.

I think I can speak for other guys who find confidence, ability, and rock-solid values attractive in a woman. Because, when you're not around you know they'll be able to 'hold down the fort'. From what I've seen, Sarah has what it takes to protect 'Fortress America' 'till we get back (to our senses as a society where we've been on a binge- imho).

the mind numbed lemmings are gravitating to her,

Go listen to her convention speech (youtube) and come back. Take out the McCain salutes, put them in perspective (garbage can).

Imagine this woman heading a ticket. And then, do the impossible- come up with a running mate.

Palin gave a great convention speech.
Almost as good as Rudy’s ‘Zero’ speech.
(I’ve been spelling it 0bama ever since.)

But herspeech was scripted. And as was well documented by the media, not written by her.
But yes, she gave a good delivery.

It is her unscripted moments, when she is on the spot and under pressure, that are of concern.

Unmitigated BS, sir.

Sarah's teleprompter went down and she delivered the rest of the speech like a pro. Reagan couldn't have done better. All your reasons against her are pure BS.

(Makes me wonder why you REALLY don't want her as our candidate.)

You seem to fear her more than the Dems do... same reasons?

I think he is a Dem, or at least a RINO with an agenda that is not Conservative, based on his ranting on this thread and others concerning Governor Palin.

Reportedly there was a brief interruption with her teleprompter when she switched to the hardcopy text she had in front of her. She ad-libbed one line about pitbulls and lipstick.

I don’t see how any of this is at odds with what I said.
She delivers a written speech well, just like 0bama.
That isn’t when she has trouble.

Not all conservatives are enamored with Sarah Palin’s abilities.
Some want to win.

Well, be sure to point one of these "dissenters" out when you find one....
