Make your goal the same as Sarah's. (She has wisdom which is preferable to mere intellect.)
Her goal is restoration: make this land once again the land of the free, the home of the brave, without dependent classes, without self-anointed elites. No dependent classes, not because they have been enslaved or destroyed, but because they have GROWN into independence; no self-anointed elites, but those who (like Sarah) have a Servant's Heart, who see government as a steward of liberty, and not a gravy train for the enrichment of oneself and one's circle at the expense of the governed.
A land without Leviathan; and a land serving as a bulwark of God's Freedom, from which Freedom can flow and stream out to the rest of a dark world.
Cheers!
Regarding the Left and its intelligence, David Brooks famously fell for Barack Obama's perfectly creased pants—O the nuanced grasp of policy.As noted, Krauthammer the patronizing rejector also rejected Ronald Reagon for Fritz Mondale—as the band played on.
Michael Beschloss waxed rapturous over Obama's I.Q. off the charts—now the economy is off the rails.
America selected Clinton the Rhodes Scholar only to be handed the biggest tax increase, an unprecedented episode of treason in Chinagate, and the degradation of defining deviancy down.
Now as Obanomics enters what may be a death spiral yet another economic advisor heads for the exit, as Gates begs, “No mas,” and the secular regimes of the Middle East are subverted by the Obamanized Muslim Brotherhood.
Behold the epic slayer of babies, the reincarnation of Karl Marx, radical Islam's greatest booster, American exceptionalism's relentless destroyer bent on re-election and the final outrage.
Yet from the shrieking fairies and carping harpies we hear only the cocktail party bigotry of the effete faculty of academe.
Gated communities and chauffeured poofs to the contrary notwithstanding, give us a leader who knows what's right with America and goes about restoring it.
Well said! Reminds me of a recent Facebook conversation...eh, scan59?
“It is true that her remarks were somewhat disorganized; but on the other hand, this has always been Sarah’s way of speaking: presenting snippets of thought, using the disparate elements to give an impressionistic depiction of a larger picture.”
I like the idea of further developing the Just Sarah Being Sarah theory. I was a little surprised at how Palin didn’t make any sense there with the Revere story, but I’m pleased to hear that not making any sense is something that she just does a lot and it’s not something to worry about.
If the “educated” people had known that Revere had told the British that resistance was waiting after he had been captured and interrogated, the inarticulate answer of Palin would have been ignored. But to now admit that Governor Sarah Palin was right on a central question is also to admit that the vast number of people who jumped on this were ignorant, and being hoist with your own petard is not a desired outcome. That is why you see the spinning and the moving of the goalposts.
If the pundits are so sure that Gov. Palin will not run, cannot be nominated, and cannot win, why do they obsess about her? If those on the Left and some on the Right are so sure that she is stupid and ill-informed, why the continuing search for “gotcha” moments? They seem to be trying to reassure themselves that what they want to believe is correct but subconsciously are worried that she may be very different from the portrait her political enemies have painted.
I say Sarah is great because Sarah is good.
Thanks very much for sound research and a wonderful essay/column that beats the sheets out of the paid pundits.
Right on, Phil Dragoo!
Thanks grey_whiskers.
Not at all. It is quite reflective of your Freeper handle We do understand how someone so preoccupatied with your own feelings of inadequacy can sometimes cause one to be overwhelmed with facts, but you sure never let that stop you, do you? So at this point, we see who you are and consider the source.
How does it feel to be the dancing monkey on every Sarah Palin thead?
Cheers!
The way in which your piece is written is sure to appeal to my high-IQ-but-willfully-ignorant sisters. I look forward to reading your next article!
My cousin attributes his incredible tomato crop this year to his having fertilized with chicken poo.
Just sayin’ ...
However, if you consider whether the person is a legacy admission, or the relative of a contributor or Democrat political figure, or a favored "minority," then you'll want to see the person's SAT scores before you even deduce he can read and write.
Outstanding essay-post, dear brother in Christ! Thank you!
Listen, anybody who quotes Sayers is a-okay in my book. Great article!
“To treat it mathematically remember the Riemann sum from Calculus, used to help describe the definite integral. One draws a function, and then draws a number of vertical lines, from the function down to the x-axis, making a series of tiny, infinitesimally thin rectangles. The integral is formed by adding up the area under each rectangle.
For a tensor, imagine a garden variety vector, but instead of it being placed so that it begins at the origin, imagine dividing all of space into a series of infinitesimal boxes, one at each point in space, just as the integral divided a function into tiny rectangles. A tensor, then, is a vector, where the size and direction of the vector are what they always have been, but the thing that makes it a tensor, is a knowledge and description of which face of the box the vector originates from!”
grey_whiskers! Please. Remember? I never knew. Or tried not to know because it never gelled in MY brain. Thanks for explaining it, though, because I certainly can grok the gist of it. This is an excellent post. I am so grateful for the explanation about WHY Sarah is not only intelligent, but she also uses what she’s been blessed with to expand individual freedom instead of subjugating imagined inferiors.
You’ve earned every one of those grey whiskers. Grey. Thanks for spelling it correctly, too.
