I’m not a Palin groupie, or an anybody groupie. I’m an independent conservative. I find nothing wrong with any of her points.

No Conservative would object to her speech. And no one in his right mind would call her small-government, pro-freedom, anti-socialist, anti-etatist speech "small c-conservative".

Only RINOS and jealous fringers whose candidates have nothing on Palin babble about that. Like the troll I responded to.

Actually, an NYT reporter would consider capital “C” conservatives to be neo-Cons and compassionate-Cons in the ilk of the Kristol & Bush families. I’m pretty sure of this.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all that they consider the small “c” conservatives to be Ronald Reagan, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, etc.

I read part of it and I will tell you that she DID sound like a conservative, the times couldn’t admit it because they were writing an almost good story about her and they had to justify it somehow. She advocated tax cuts and eliminating capital gains taxes for one thing, criticized Bozo without mentioning his name, but did throw in a couple of gratuitous statements about “our President”. I can’t wait to read the whole thing.

Great. You learned the alphabet. Way to go!

And I probably should have continued the rest of the way. First you need to learn to spell 'Conservative'. Then you need to find out what it means.

I don't think that an illiterate parrot will help me out on that. *snicker*

Then you need to find out what it means.

I already found out that it means the opposite of you.

Non-Sequitur BTW is a perfect description of your comments.

You can't show anything of substance... only jealous parroting of leftist PDS talking points. Yap yap yap. :oD

I took it right of the tweets of Mr. Sinclair who twittered the speech.

Reagan, especially measured against other Republicans of his era, definitely had a libertarian streak.

Sarah Palin is very much along the same lines in that regard.

Neither Reagan or Palin were/are exactly libertarians, but a particular brand of western small-government conservative, of which we could use more.

If Palin can't get behind that then she has no right to try and align with is memory.

Who says she isn't? The quote was from an observer at the event, NOT her.

Read what SolidWood wrote again:

The quote was a subjective opinion on her speech from people who have no idea of Conservatism.
When you look at it from this angle, your criticism makes little sense.

It always fails me to understand it, but isn't this when one would put the [sic] thingy next to the misspelled word?

Her appearance was genius for several reasons: 1. Since their is no record, she can get people to pay to hear her same most of the same things again; 2. B/c she spoke from notes, people know that they are getting an “original” not a canned stump speech when they pay her speaker’s fee-which is probably in the $400k after yesterday; 3. the press can’t focus on a run-on sentence or fragment; 4. There’s no way to hit her with a “gotcha” alleged fact check by the MSM. Well played SP!
