The truth is that they are either lying hypocrites, worshippers of Satan involved in a grand plan to destroy America and the Christian faith, or ignorant of what it means to be a follower of Christ. Christians know that their paramour, Jesus Christ, gave two commands to his disciples when asked what the most important commandment was. He said to love God and...

Robach: "And, Brian, another big political story, the rise and fall of Sarah Palin, and yet she continues to grab headlines. Her new book came out. Will she ever just go away?

In my opinion The main reason Palin has not endorsed Rubio (yet) is she does not want Crist to flip parties and run as a Democrat.

Normally, I devote little energy to Palin, a politician I disagree with on just about every issue. But, during the past two weeks finding myself caught in a maelstrom I have begun to warm to the former beauty queen. (I even went to the library to check out "Going Rogue," but every copy was on loan, and I had to settle for "Trailblazer: An Intimate Biography of Sarah Palin.")

The buzz from women who can't bring themselves to acknowledge Palin's self-made success is spiteful and loud, especially on the internet. Why is that? With the help of her husband, former President Bill Clinton, Hillary catapulted her career from a small city, small state Arkansas attorney to a failed run for president, finally settling for her present position as Obama's Secretary of Defense.

By this time next year, after the 2010 midterm election results are in, we will know. I predict that We the People will affirm the election of 1980 as a political realignment with a resounding "yes!" And for enabling us to finally answer that question -- and for the answer itself -- one man will deserve our special thanks: John McCain. Friends, Americans, countrymen, lend me your eyes.

No wonder why the American Left hates this book and Mrs. Palin. All that Sarah stands for is a threat to their secular, liberal, nanny-state ideology. This book starts off with a call to Mrs. Palin at the Alaska State Fair from John McCain headquarters, then delves into the personal autobiography of Sarah’s life up to the present....

A 1968 Bedford High School graduate, Mr. Stock and his wife, Kim, met the former Alaskan governor during Thanksgiving weekend.

These people were the tip of the American spear against jihadist kingpins in the Afghan/Pakistani border region, the innermost circle in a big Venn diagram that starts with the CIA, proceeds to the units tasked with finding intel on AQ, and ends with the elite charged with building the target list for drone operators.

Then-Senator Barack Obama's charisma, his chief opponent's pomposity and crankiness, and an incumbent with a poor record about to see his country plunged into a severe recession, all played a role in the worst GOP bashing for years. Of course, she didn't help much. After the initial excitement, it became abundantly clear that she lacked the base...

"Death panels." The claim set political debate afire when it was made in August, raising issues from the role of government in health care to the bounds of acceptable political discussion. In a nod to the way technology has transformed politics, the statement wasn't made in an interview or a television ad. Sarah Palin posted it on her Facebook page. Her assertion — that the government would set up boards to determine whether seniors and the disabled were worthy of care —...

The views expressed about her reveal the distinctions and conflicting perceptions of often antagonistic groups of Americans—the religious and the secular, the conservative and the liberal, the urban and the small town, the elitist and the populist. And now, with the publication of her autobiography, Going Rogue, and Matthew Continetti’s The Persecution of Sarah Palin, the Rorschach tests are being administered anew, and with increasing fervor. For her conservative admirers, she continues to exemplify independence, moxie, common sense, the superiority of the common American over the...

She gives me hope for the future, and reminds me of the great Jewish heroine Esther. Humble, reverential and courageous. I hope she becomes the first female president of the United States.

However, naming the Republican Party as the most disappointing ‘person’ in 2009 posed no reflective issues whatsoever and brings the most distaste as a third generation member of the party. Republicans continue to work toward no apparent goal except to disrupt, obstruct and demonize anything the new administration proposes. They embrace and employ Fox News to foment hatred and vitriol for issues that Republicans know are lies. When Sarah Palin lies, she lies as...

That's especially true for the first year of a young president who was swept into office on the promise of change. But if anyone rivaled President Barack Obama this year when it came to making headlines and consistently eliciting strong reactions from all sides, it was the woman who hoped to be vice president. In many ways, 2009 was the Year of Sarah Palin. Hardly a day went by when Palin wasn't getting some kind of attention – for better or worse...

Some of these are an obligatory round-up to launch the New Year, others are compiled from opinions or statistics spanning many years.
