Sarah Palin, Tea Party save America (Kathleen Parker now admires Gov. Palin?)
The Hill ^ | May 15, 2013 | Bernie Quigley

Posted on 05/15/2013 9:08:35 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

This morning from The Washington Post’s Kathleen Parker: "Breaking news: Conservative organizations suddenly have found common cause with one of their favorite objects of contempt — the benighted Mainstream Media ... Or as the tea party queen and former Alaska governor likes to put it, the ‘lamestream media.’ In a twist of irony, the two groups have coalesced around a common enemy: the U.S. government.”

The Tea Party queen here is, of course, Sarah Palin. Interesting, because Parker was among the first to announce, when Palin first arrived on the scene, that Palin was “out of her league.”

“The league” is what we commonly call the “establishment” today. This definition of the word “establishment,” which was popularized in the '60s, popped up again (here, I think) to juxtapose and enhance the Tea Party. It contains lamestream press, the two political parties, and the families of influence from Eastern money and Northeastern states, the Kennedy and the Bush apparatuses primarily (Obama proudly walks his Kennedy doggie) and now the Clintons and their generation.

The establishment has flipped. America today has done what needs to be done and it could not have been done without the Tea Party. But truth be told, there would be no Tea Party today had there not been a Sarah Palin to egg it on and advance it.

Reports now are everywhere that “DC turns on Obama,” a headline today at Politico....

Having already sold her soul, she doesn’t have much to offer conservatives, who have every reason she’ll be back on the democrat plantation in time to attract hillary’s goodwill in 2016.

She’s been right where she belongs for the last four years.

"Are you high?"

I think he is talking about Kathleen Parker, not Sarah.

That's technically backwards. The press is suddenly aligned with us. We've been here all along.

I took it that the comment references Kathleen Parker, not Sarah Palin.

Drive by media is just having a bad week. Their love interest hasn’t phoned and they are in a funk. He’ll show up next week with flowers in hand and all will be forgiven and forgotten. They will be back in love with Barry.

This is a classic trick of the MSM bubble dwellers. When the truth finally becomes just too big, too stark, to obvious to ignore... they reverse the direction of causality and make the situation look absurd.

It's a form of intellectual dishonesty that (they think) is subtle enough to fool a fair number of people. Including - probably - themselves, in many cases.

When you're a tyrant, I suppose that your pawns look for an opportunity to turn against you.

God bless Sarah and her family. Cover her in her coming and going. Prayers up for America, allow not evil to prosper, and prevail. Prayers for mercy and Restoration of America to our former faith and values, forgive us LORD, We worship and praise and honor Thee LORD ever, in Jesus name amen.

We are all sinners in need of a savior.

Wrong. It would still exist and still be a potent force. Palin just happens to be one of its most articulate faces. She has NEVER presented herself, as far as I know, as being the reason for it to exist.

Surprising, but I think this combination of scandals will move many people to the right like 9/11 did.
