“Meanwhile, the Harvard-educated elitist geniuses will run the country according to their infinitely brighter intellectual and moral lights. “

The people whose intellect is a mile wide, and an inch deep?

The Ivy League idiots who keep pushing socialism after it has failed all over the world, every time it has been tried?

Great article

I see Sarah being the victim of the liberal RINOs efforts to marginalize and insult the conservative base of the party (along with the anti-Southern and anti-Birther rhetoric).

I fear the bigger enemy are the liberals from within the GOP and the faux-cons, not as much the Dem. Liberal crowd. Real conservatives need to stay together so that Sarah and other real conservatives become the focal point of the party, again.

Great piece of writing by a firebreather with a brain.

Finally, someone who understands what is really going on.

We hear from the MSM types who said Sarah’s resignation speech was rambling and incoherent, who said she can’t overcome the quitter image, who said she doesn’t understand the issues.
We hear from the McCain campaign people who said she lost the election.
We hear from the people who ridicule her and her family.

It is so refreshing to hear from someone who can accurately describe what is really going on.

Paraphrasing just a little bit her remarks at an event last month honoring Blue and Gold Star Families...

“I love America, I'm proud of my country and I will NEVER apologize to anybody for being an American”.

Go Sarah!.

A big Bill Whittle fan.

“We conservatives need to take the gloves off and start fighting fire with fire.”

THANK you.

I’ve been saying that for twenty years.

Great article, forcefully written! Won’t quibble over one or two grammatical blemishes.

But the very last sentence is a bit disappointing...if the author is referring to Sarah. Perhaps he didn’t clearly hear what she said when she announced her resignation as AK Gov.

“We’re not retreating. We’re advancing in a different direction.”

Gov. Sarah Palin, July 3, 2009
(as close to verbatim as I recall off the cuff.)

All that her enemies have done is to propel her sooner into the next phase of what appears to be her calling, and with more wind at her back, freedom and time. Their tactics have backfired into growing sympathy for her and, ironically, valuable publicity that the Republican elites probably hoped to deny her.

And precisely at a time when it’s increasingly clear that the country is in major trouble, the emperor has no clothes, and Americans are stirring, determined to find and empower leaders of unquestionable honesty, decency, integrity, courage and patriotism.

The sequence, type and timing of events is almost uncanny. I’m pumped.

Sarah and we are seeing which rocks the snakes are under and in which trees the foul birds are likely roosting...for future reference.

Saracuda !
Sarah America !!

She scares the very-living-sh*t out of the dims ............ FRegards

They tell themselves that it's always failed because those that have tried it have all been selfish and greedy, but it will work for them because they themselves only want it out of a Utopian spirit of benevolence.

“They tell themselves that it’s always failed because those that have tried it have all been selfish and greedy, but it will work for them because they themselves only want it out of a Utopian spirit of benevolence.”

That is what the sme Harvardheads said back in 1969 when I was 15 years old. I’m now 55, and they are STILL saying the same thing with the same explanation. The very definition of psychotic.
