The movie Casablanca (1942) is considered by many movie critics and buffs as the greatest movie of all time.
I agree and I also believe the movie applies as well to the life, fate and destiny of Sarah Palin as well.
Here are 13 reasons why I believe so:
1)The main protagonist Rick Blaine has clearly "gone rogue" and has a certain elan. Although he is initially cynical and clearly not as patriotic as Sarah Palin, he will eventually by the end of the movie show his true colors and that is is as dedicated to the cause, patriotic and noble as Palin.
2)The relationship between the Nazis and the Vichy French regime in Casablanca (French territory)that I have often compared to the political relationship between the Obama regime and the GOP establishment and officeholders (Vichy Republicans), the latter doing he bidding of the former, collaborating with the enemy and "selling out" its own countrymen and patriots.
3)"We all try: you succeed. (Rick to resistance leader Victor Laszlo)
Palin expressing sincere admiration for many great leaders in history including Washington, MacArthur, Lincoln, Churchill, Thatcher, Reagan etc.
4)"I bet they're asleep in New York; I bet they're asleep all over America."
The need for a Great (political)Awakening in America led by Sarah Palin.
5)The setting of WWII, the takeover of Paris by the Germans and Nazi tyranny--symbolic of the current rise in tyranny, political and thug oppression and liberal Fascism in America--the need to escape from it and live in freedom
6)The love story between Rick Blaine and Ilsa Lund, symbolic of lost innocence and love of country that Americans know they lost with the election of Obama and his continued desire to transform America
7) Victor Laszlo, resistance leader vs the Nazis
"No one can take your place Mr. Laszlo if you are shot while trying to escape."
Sarah Palin is also just as indispensable to our side as well.
The Nazis, fear Laszlo, hold him in utter contempt, and want to destroy him as much as the Left fears Palin, the elites despise her and her enemies want to destroy her.
8)At the end of the movie, Rick Blaine traveling to Brazzaville in the Congo, thereby "quitting" his career as a night club proprietor and taking up the fight against the Nazis in a different venue vs. the Palin resignation and taking her political fight to the Lower 48.
9)Although on the run from the Nazis after escaping from the concentration camp, Laszlo never abandon his wife Ilsa even though he is in danger vs Sarah Palin after her resignation, unlike most Republicans who tend to abandon their colleagues on the political battlefield to be slaughtered by the enemy, as suggested by Whittaker Chambers,who defended Nikki Haley when she was charged with an extra-marital affair and did NOT abandon her on the battlefield even though she was always under constant attack herself.
10)The decision by Rick Blaine to sacrifice his love for Ilsa for the good of the cause ("The lives of 3 little people don't amount to a hill of beans")sending both Victor and Ilsa away on the plane flight to Lisbon and to freedom vs. the personal sacrifices of Sarah Palin she must make for the cause and to run for President in 2012 (the politics of personal destruction by Obama's MSM propaganda machine and personal character assassination).
11)"Isn't it strange that you often fight on the side of the underdog?" (Victor to Rick)
Sarah Palin, advancing commonsense conservatism on behalf of Tea Party supporters and ordinary Americans
12)Victor calls for the playing of the La Marsellaise that drowns out the Germans singing their own national anthem at Rick's night club
If you could all watch this one scene you will fully understand the charismatic power that Sarah Palin possesses and why her enemies don't want her to run or to shut her down.
Nazi general to this impromptu display of patriotism:
"If Laszlo could inspire that kind of public demonstration..."
He then orders the night club shut down.
13)"It's still a story without an ending."
Sarah Palin in her quest for the presidency.
You dont seem to be able to comprehend your own post. You said, You Palin haters make me sick. Your last response was about the use of the ‘word’ Palinista, not Palin. Dont you get it that I am talking about this Palin or nobody crowd?
To: Polybius I love your enthusiasm....you dispense consistent PDS and then interject....watch theyll call me troll, pds, hater etc. LOL...well yeah. You never fail to bore...people are on to your silly little game. .. rbmillerjr
Thank you, rbmillerjr, for so quickly proving my point to GRRRRR . By my point, however, I do not mean being called troll, PDS or hater. My point is this:
The most rabid Palinistas on FR only care about seeing Sarah nominated and absolutely refuse to rationally evaluate the data that shows the impact of such a nomination on the chances that Obama will be reelected. It is like dealing with the Heaven's Gate Suicide Cult.
When dealing with a Suicide Cult preaching a doctrine that, if followed, will lead to mass suicide, the fact that cult members spew out mantras and chants and bounce off the walls while drooling all over themselves is not the problem. That, like your mindless chants of "Troll!" and "PDS!" when confronted with data-based arguments, is simply what bat-sh#t-crazy, irralitonal Suicide Cult members do.
The problem is avoiding the consequences of the course of action that the irrational Suicide Cult members are preaching: In this case the consequence is the guaranteed reelection of Barack Hussein Obama.
At long last, however, the tide has turned against the irrational Suicide Cult members.
1.) There is every indication that Sarah will not run but, instead, stay right where she currently is, happy as a clam: as a very highly paid speaker and entertainer
2.) There is every indication that Sarah will endorse a very strong conservative candidate that can actually win, Governor Perry.
3.) JimRob has come right out and stated that Governor Perry would be an excellent alternative to Obama the Commie.
4.) In such a scenario, as JimRob predicts, the air will be sucked out of the race.
The most irrational Suicide Cult members (maybe you, rbmillerjr, will be among them) will then go immediately over the cliff and start attacking Sarah Palin as a RINO and will start chanting that it is now better to have Obama reelected in 2012 so that a True Messiah can emerge in 2016.
At that point, since JimRob definitely does NOT want Obama, the Commie reelected to four more years of destroying America, you Suicide Cult members may very well get your suicide wish.

..... if Palin does not run but Perry does, he'd probably suck all the air out of the race. Either way, ..... Perry would all be excellent alternatives to Obama the commie. Anyone but RINO Romney the big government chief architect of CommieCare! Posted on Friday, July 01, 2011 10:13:29 AM by Jim Robinson

You never fail to bore...people are on to your silly little game.
Whether I "never fail to bore" the Sucide Cult members or not is irrelevant. I write for the rational. People like you, rbmillerjr, are merely the foils I utilize to illustrate my points.
As a FReepMail I recieved this morning about my post to GRRRRR states:
"I agree with your analysis 100 percent. Unfortunately when you attempt to stand on facts when dealing with zombies infected with the Sarah-Is-The-Only-One mindset, it is an exercise in futility and frustration, as they are all intent on waiting for the inevitable command to fling themselves off the edge of Saint Sarah Scenic Cliffs and LookOut, to be broken and impaled on the political wreckage below. I do however, commend you Polybius. Nicely done." ..... FReepMail to Polybius, 07/11/2011
So, rbmillerjr, now that I have used you as an example of a typical specimen of the Suicide Cult for the benefit of the rational, you can go back to the Suicide Cult rubber-room and resume your chanting and your drooling.
Correct on all counts.
Look numbnuts, palin is going to be elected president in 2012, whether you like it or not.
You and all your ilk are irrelevant, and we do not have time to change your diaper every time you see something that breaks your continance.
You break into a thread that was posted for those that care about Palin’s obvious stature, and post childish gripes, and get upset because you are called out for acting like Obama. Gosh, why don’t you bring your mommie with you to the computer.
ping to “The List”
“Gosh, why dont you bring your mommie with you to the computer.”
You said it, LOL
The most rabid Palinistas on FR only care about seeing Sarah nominated and absolutely refuse to rationally evaluate the data that shows the impact of such a nomination on the chances that Obama will be reelected”
Actually, your “data” don’t prove shit. You are the worst case of PDS as you actually believe what you say to the point of going on long verbose mountains of gooish nonsense.
By data you refer to polls. As Reagan stated, “it’s not what they don’t know, it’s what they think they know...but don’t”
Speaking of which:
“Abc Poll (May 1980)- Carter Leads Reagan 58% to 40%. 18% Spread”
It, of course, was a landlide in the other direction.
