Sarah On Their Minds

For someone the Democrats have declared irrelevant, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin seems to be surprisingly relevant. According to the left, Palin hasn’t been a real factor since 2008. Yet every time she so much as makes a run to the grocery store, liberals scrutinize her behavior like disgraced Internal Revenue Service thug Lois Lerner reading Tea Party tax returns.

While conservatives, many of whom genuinely like Palin, invite her to break bread with them at various functions, liberals whine about her near omnipresence — all while fawning like groupies in an effort to entice her as an interview subject. I’d suggest the quest for ratings and subsequent advertising dollars drives them to seek out Palin the way lepers sought out Mother Teresa; but no self-respecting liberal would be in it just for the money and fame, right?

Monday morning, Palin graced the studios of NBC’s “Today Show,” where Matt Lauer attempted to press her on Obamacare — something Lauer’s fellow NBC talking head Chuck Todd was either unwilling or unable to do to President Barack Obama last Thursday. Of course, Lauer may be bright enough to know Palin equals ratings; but he’s clearly not bright enough to have learned Palin equals smarter than the women who make MSNBC such a ratings “success.” Palin dispensed with Lauer as easily as Michael Moore dispenses with anything coated in powdered sugar.

"People who are being told today if you — and some of them are still being told — “Well, if you like that insurance policy and that coverage, you still will be able to keep it. It’s just going to cost you a little bit more.” That’s the point, if it’s going to cost you more, then it’s not the same policy."

If NBC, which is as redoubtable a Barack Obama Administration mouthpiece as White House press secretary Jay Carney, thought Palin’s views were worth their airtime, logic would dictate that the unbathed liberal masses would concur. Unfortunately, logic and liberalism collide as often as MSNBC and decent ratings. Yet the perfectly named left-wing hate speech blog Talking Points Memo reacted to Palin’s entirely accurate remarks about the lies Obama told to keep his train wreck on the rails by changing the subject.

When asked by Matt Lauer about her alternative plan, Palin gave a rambling answer that echoed her infamous 2008 interview with Katie Couric, in which the former Republican vice presidential nominee awkwardly struggled to name a newspaper or magazine she often read.

Lauer invited her to talk about Obamacare’s face-plant, and the liberals come up with: Palin is stupid, because… um… 2008!

Part of the left’s assaults against Palin stem from the same misogyny that has defined the Democrats for as long as Democrats have skittered across the fruited plains. These guys really don’t like women who don’t do what they’re told. They also seem to have a problem with women who look like women, but that’s a conversation for another day. Their attacks on Palin are virtually reflexive. Every time she speaks, Bill Maher’s staff gets jumpy. In fact, anytime any conservative woman raises her flag, the Democrats’ hate machine redlines its tachometer.

But part of this latest assault on Palin stems from the Democrats’ increasing desperation over the implosion of Obamacare. Keeping in mind that the Democrats consider politics vastly more important than everything, up to and including life itself, any dissent represents a commensurately grave threat. When someone like Palin takes to the airwaves to voice her discontent with Obama’s train wreck of a power grab, liberals go apoplectic.

To be honest, I don’t think Palin should run for President in 2016 for a number of reasons — among them, her own safety. From the so-called “Occupy” riots to pretty much anything involving more than one union thug, the Democrats have demonstrated a propensity for violence at the drop of Carlos Danger’s zipper. Combine their lack of compunction with the white-hot rage that Palin still inspires more than half a decade since they first declared her “irrelevant,” and you’ve got a perfect environment for some loon in a “Che’” T-shirt to trade his life for a week’s worth of admiring references on Ivy League professors’ Twitter feeds. They’re pressing a $2 trillion fraud, something for which non-Democrats risk serious prison time; and they’ve already attacked her children more than once. I doubt they’d hesitate to push one of their followers over the line between “foaming at the mouth with anti-Palin hate” and Mumia Abu-Jamal.

I'll bet I could round up 40 or 50 tough guys and gals to help me protect her during the campaign.

Sarah, why did you skip Pittsburgh?

You have friends here, lots of 'em.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Plano? I might have to go to that one, if I can get my car nursed back to health!

[Resettozero]

Hey! Here in South Carolina, we know very little compared to all Tex-uns, except we know to keep our horse healthy and a mule as back-up ride.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Both my horse and mule were confiscated & shipped to Trayvon’s folks for their 40 acres.

[Resettozero]

Too bad that happened to you. That’s when a firearm and some mean sidekicks come in handy.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could have
And maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have

If I made you feel second best
Girl, I’m sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

And maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I’m so happy that you’re mine

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
And give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied
I’ll keep you satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind
-Willie Nelson

Mules are donkey-horse hybrids, as you know: the strength and speed of a horse and the disposition of a donkey. Mules are FABULOUS.

The missionaries of the back country areas in the Yucatan Peninsula used to use them all the time.

[hattend]

You’ll need more than 50...you have to protect the whole family.

I still think the Palin’s were threatened to stay out in 2012. But then, I just look good in tin foil.

[hattend]

and for you grammar nazis... it should be Palins...not Palin’s.

[Resettozero]

Mules are FABULOUS.

As a youngster, I watched my dad and others plow with control. As a teenager, a mule embarrassed me by doing nothing that I said or wanted when I tried to plow the garden. Later, a different mule attacked my lovely green '60 Falcon, breaking both driver's side windows, practically taking off the whole side, and made me trade for a '63 Fury II in about 1965. Dang mules.

Here in S.C., the backup mule been replaced by a faded red and white '78 F-150. Don't know if it would hold up for a 4-hour roundtrip in Wisconsin to see Sarah Palin, though.

I'll bet I could round up 40 or 50 tough guys and gals to help me protect her during the campaign.

But it would take only one pretender named Bubba Bubba from Texas to really bring this kind of protection to a dismal, disastrous failure.

I’d LOVE to see Palin run against Hillary! That would be a scenario that would be just too uncomfortable for Hillary. And, a Palin presidency would be more than welcome, knowing what she took on in Alaska and the no-nonsense person that she is. But, I’m also wondering who would fill her shoes in the theater of picking genuine conservatives? Yes, she missed on a few, and maybe they just got turned after being elected...who knows. But she has an uncanny sense that is developing more accurately every year. It takes time to hone those skills. She is still my first pick, but Ted Cruz is my second by a mile over the rest. I like Mike Lee, as well. He’s coming along very nicely, too. There are few that would be really great presidential material because they don’t have the cojones to stand firm. They would compromise way too quickly. Palin, Cruz and Lee are our best bets for no-nonsense leadership with true conservative credentials. I like Jeff Sessions, but I don’t think he could win nationally. Rand Paul is really a libertarian, and if one wants to understand who they truly are, look no further than the VA pre-election family values pamphlet put out on www.familyfoundation.org and www.vavotes.net. You could BARELY tell the difference in ideology from the democrat and the libertarian. That is the point. This is not isolated. This is true to form. They are a one issue party...small government, but they will vote with the democrats on everything else.

Lol.
Mules must be something else. Horse/donkey. Courageous, strong, tenacious, ornery. They have the big ears of the donkey but the strength of the horse. Those missionaries swear by them. NOTHING bothers the them while they're on their mules. I can see why.
