Go Home, Sarah. You’re Drunk.

Today we saw someone who was once a rising star in the conservative world explode in an inglorious display of crass opportunism.

Sarah Palin, that darling of a failed John McCain presidential bid, has resurfaced to throw her voice and her support behind the gilded toad of the GOP, Donald Trump. Where she was once a strong Tea Party leader, promoting free market ideas, limited government, and power back in the hands of the people, today she forsook it all, in favor of a big government, foul mouthed, Wall Street liberal with atrocious hair.

Far too often, we see that power corrupts and fame can be an intoxicating drug. Palin and her family became a political hot topic in 2008, targeted by comedians and tabloids, as well as the conservative punditry, anxious to foist this fresh, bold, "Mama Grizzly" into the limelight, and to sweep up ratings for themselves along the way. For a bit, it worked. Voters and TV execs alike were enthralled by she and her whole family. Daughter Bristol, as an unwed mother to a beautiful baby boy, even wrote a book about abstinence and toured the nation to give the warning to wait, don't do what she did, learn from her poor judgment! She even got a reality TV show out of it for a short while.

Well, you say he’s been a ‘lifelong liberal Democrat’, but that just simply isn’t true by any objective measure. He said a lot of things as a private citizen who had interests that needed to be guarded from a predatory political class.

I don’t pretend I’ll always agree with Trump, but if he implements what he’s talking about with taxes, immigration, and trade deals, it will unquestionably be the most conservative change this country has seen since Calvin Coolidge.

And what would you rather have? A guy trying his butt off to actually do that or someone who blows smoke and promises you ‘purity’ but delivers nothing. Because that’s what we’ve got to choose from.

You can have conservative ideas implemented by an imperfect man or you can have someone who pretends at being perfect, yet will accomplish nothing.

I’ve had enough of people who would rather use demonstrably false rhetoric like ‘Trump is a lifelong liberal democrat’ than actually fix this country. People need to take a step back and examine themselves.
