From Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn:
The pitifulest thing out is a mob; ... they don't fight with courage that's born in them, but with courage that's borrowed from their mass[.]
[And talking to the mob:]
Now the thing for YOU to do is to droop your tails and go home and crawl in a hole. If any real lynching's going to be done it will be done in the dark, Southern fashion; and when they come they'll bring their masks, and fetch a MAN along. Now LEAVE -- and take your half-a-man with you" -- tossing his gun up across his left arm and cocking it when he says this.
That's the John Wayne scene you've watched in a hundred Westerns, but it's now happening in reality. I think Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, and the other conservative candidates are the Ronald Reagans of our time. It's not just a Hollywood flick.
We are living in a poisonous time in American politics. The source of that poison is very clear. In case you were wondering, it's not the polite and well-behaved Tea Partiers.
It's more like the party of mob scenes.
Democrats have turned into ranting demagogues again, just like the Jim Crow South. In the last hundred years they have changed nothing but their scapegoats. You can easily pick out the shameless ones among them. They don't hide it. This is what Michael Barone calls "gangster government."
In Bill Clinton's first election the rad-left media accused Republicans of burning churches in the South. Today you can see the toxic left getting ready for another campaign of smear and intimidation. It's time to call them what they are: "High tech lynch mobs" was what Justice Thomas called them. It's the truth.
The Undefeated is a stunning documentary about Governor...

He very effectively and completely eviscerated them by calling them many times Eunuchs.
A more apt description I have not heard in a long time for the cowards currently running the GOP, especially, as Andrew pointed out, for their refusal to come to the aid of Sarah Palin when they say how badly the left-wing so-called main stream media savaged her and the Democrat party members as well.
I have not seen it yet and can barely wait. However I agree wholeheartedly with Andrew!!! Sarah has been strengthened mightily though and she was already a tough cookie :-D.
“A more apt description I have not heard in a long time for the cowards currently running the GOP, especially, as Andrew pointed out, for their refusal to come to the aid of Sarah Palin when they say how badly the left-wing so-called main stream media savaged her and the Democrat party members as well.”
They didn’t come to her aid because they knew, if she had half a chance, she would shoot them and dress them out like the ‘cowards’ and corrupt bastards they are in fact!
That is why the Republican establishment fears Gov.Palin. She is a game changer, and they do not want her anywhere near Washington, D.C.
I think it’s just about EVERYTHING that a Dem accuses a Republican/Conservative of being or doing, it is them, in fact, who are guilty.
Exactly. The corrupt bastards on the so called right probably fear Sarah more than the scum on the left.
What a toxic brew has been ruining our country, stealing our hard earned money, for far too many years. And now they want more because they overspent once again. Bastards.
Remember Princess Lea in Star Wars sending out her urgent message - “You are our only hope”? That’s how I feel.

Sarah Palin is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN
Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama ISN'T!
PUBs try ever so hard to appear rational and wind up looking like weak-kneed crybabies. Until the Right starts acting like we ARE right, and not cower every time the Left screams at us, they will win.
I want to see the PUBs blistering the RATs with “The culture of corruption is open under new management” (Senate), “PUBs hate old people” (House) and “Obama lies, the economy dies” (campaign). Or this oldie “Hey, hey, what do you say, how many jobs you kill today.”
I must concur....the way these pansies on the right don’t step up to defend her show they do not have the back bone to BE President.
“The corrupt bastards on the so called right probably fear Sarah more than the scum on the left.”
Exactly. Look what she did to corrupt “Murkowsky Mob” in Alaska.
Part of Palin’s problem is that she made herself a target by giving the left the impression that she’s a quitter who won’t won’t fight back. Exhibit No. 1 — her quitting the governorship of Alaska. I’ve hear all sorts of excuses justifying her quitting. But if she had been a stronger personality, she would have would have hired lawyers and crossed the state screaming at the top of her lungs that her legal inability to finance a defense against the avalanche of politicized ethics complaints amounted to an unconstitutional attempt to drive her from office. OK, FLAME AWAY!
Why would we bother? You have all the answers.
See #12. Your posts are so transparent they provide their own flames.
I am not going to flame you sir because you are entitled to your opinion.
First of all, it is not possible to......... “give the left the impression”. That erroneously suggests that somehow someway if Sarah had just handled things differently (like your plan of hiring a lawyer and scream at the top of her lungs across Alaska)then “the left” would all of a sudden become kissy faced and hug Sarah Palin and not scream “quitter”. That notion is so imbecilic as to not deserve another word about it.
Sarah, Marco Rubio and Rick Perry have it right and people like yourself have it wrong. They all frankly don’t give a damn what “the left” thinks as history has shown them conclusively that “the left” is never going to vote for them or do anything but spew hatred and vitriol against anyone brave enough to take em on. Folks like yourself, and there are many, seem to feel it necessary to constantly seek “the lefts” approval...............in other words..............hell, let’s not run a candidate unless “the left” says nice things about them. In short, let “the left” pick the Republican Candidate for President!
Sarah “quit” because she rightfully perceived she was in a position to perform a “greater good” for America and the Governership of Alaska paled in significance to that “Greater Good”. What “GREATER GOOD” you say? Well, few knowledgable folks think the pubbies would now control the House BUT FOR Sarah Palin’s courageous and untiring efforts to make it happen.
