Yeah, and folks wonder why the Palins don’t trust anyone.
The problem I think is that The Palins, like some of us, are ‘out of time’. We want to, and in our personal lives do, live in a bygone era where words meant things, principle mattered and trust was important and a valued commodity. This is not the case for most of the planet.
Reagan was right to think ‘trust but verify’ but today that’s suicidal. We see right here on FR where everyone is supposed to be staunchly conservative and supposedly all throwbacks ourselves that many cannot be trusted to act with honor or principle. ESPECIALLY where Sarah Palin is concerned. Witness the overwhelming liberalism that gushed forth unzotted from hundreds of ‘staunch conservatives’ that did all in their power to torpedo her.
Trusting a con man like Beck may have been filled with christian intentions, but it was always a very, very bad idea. Trust needs to be earned. And he, like many talking heads merely mouths what they think benefits them at a point in time. There is no basis to their ‘beliefs’ outside of self improvement in the financial/power department.
