Name THE person, who is not running for President, that would be the BEST in the Job.

You might consider the following points:

1) "Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand." Romans 14:4 g_w paraphrase.

You do not know what camp of believers she is in: and it is not for you to declare who God does and does not give personal revelations to.

2) That being said, in some evangelical circles the concept of using a "fleece" as an adjunct to prayers is practiced, by analogy to the fleece used by Gideon in Judges 6. That is, some people ask for a limited sign from God as assurance that their own attitudes aren't running away with them. What if Sarah had laid out such a fleece as part of considering to run, (say) that her family not be threatened physically? (cf John 18:18).

3) Mentioning the Founding Fathers? OK, great. They were fighting what was rapidly becoming an established tyranny, and had not much of a choice either way. Sarah has the luxury of holding back somewhat and marshalling the troops to consolidate the House and take the Senate.

And, by the way, how many *women* were at Valley Forge? Methinks this is more of a reflection on the failings of the MEN in the Tea Party, that more men aren't stepping forward with the same values and goals as Sarah has.

Cheers!

I'm surprised no one has suggested Voltron yet.

Voltron would probably make a good president.

[Eaker]

Voltron never forgets “energy”.

[Allegra]

ROFL!!

“Therefore, I conclude she does not have the courage to be POTUS. “

You were saying she said this herself.

Now you are saying that YOU conclude she does not have the courage.

Like I said......

Are you one of those people who believes were are still in normal times, where everything in America is continuing as it has since we were born? If so, you are deluded.

As a side note, Congressional elections at this point are mostly irrelevant. The statist Congress must be defeated by the next President, or we're done as a country. Unless the federal bureaucracy under the Executive Branch is destroyed, we will continue to suffer at the hands of this government. We need a President who is willing to embrace the doctrine of impoundment, for that is the only way for the co-equal Executive branch to beat the Congress at the spending game. The Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 is not being followed, and is unconstitutional anyway (separation of powers).

Back to your point. The tyranny of the United States federal government FAR EXCEEDS the tyranny of King George III. And it is still increasing. We need someone no less qualified than one of our Founders, and no less willing to put "lives, fortunes, and sacred honor" on the line.

And, by the way, how many *women* were at Valley Forge? Methinks this is more of a reflection on the failings of the MEN in the Tea Party, that more men aren't stepping forward with the same values and goals as Sarah has.

We are in complete agreement here. We are mostly a nation of men without chests, as CS Lewis put it. However, only 3% of the nation fought in the Revolutionary War. That's all it took. To the point, many of us believed Sarah Palin was special, a sort of American Deborah or Joan of Arc, to lead us into battle against the federal leviathan. I still think she is a remarkable American, but I no longer think she is the leader I once did, due to lack of courage in the face of death threats.

Thanks for writing back — have a cold today, will reply later.

Don't blame your lack of reading comprehension on me.

Her deciding to not run doesn't mean she lacked courage.It simply means she decided not to run-period.Your "truth" that she chickened out is exactly that-your truth.If you don't like her,fine,your choice. But don't belittle the woman. The unrelenting attacks she endured weren't just against her-her kids and husband were subject to it as well.She put her family over taking a very difficult and demanding position.I don't belittle her for that. You shouldn't either. One can only wonder how much "courage" you would have had you been in her unique position.You cannot say,because you were never subjected to her baptism by fire.I'd like to think i'd step up-I love my country almost as much I love my God-but i'm not sure i'd be up to the job. Just my opinion.

An interesting but irrelevant speculation. This is not about what you and I would do, but about what Palin DID. She backed down in the face of adversity. I would not now support her for President.

[gimme1ibertee]

Irrelevant because it doesn’t share your version of truth? I think not.you don’t like her? Fine....Don’t support her. I support her even though she’s not running.She will run for some office,at some point,when she feels the time is right. And,as I said before,just my opinion.

Sarah Palin in 2012 ~ "BUCK UP OR STAY IN THE TRUCK!"

Looks like she stayed in the truck, hoss.

[Gargantua]

So what? That doesn’t change the fact that you still eat huge ass. Funk off, douchebag.

[humblegunner]

I understand your tearful bitterness at being so cruelly jerked around by mama Fizzly.

The pain and anguish are now evident in your every post.
It can be traumatizing to misplace one’s faith and have
all hopes dashed.

The further humiliation of having been shown to be a gullible
fool in public can only add to your suffering.

[Gargantua]

At least I’m straight.

[Gargantua]

(P.S.) "Mama Fizzly" is WAY too funny... no way you came up with that. LMAO!!!

[humblegunner]

At least I’m straight.

Yes, the therapy has worked out well and your progress has been impressive.

You are to be congratulated on your hard work toward that goal.

[grey_whiskers]

I just realized I never wrote back.

Can you FReepmail me and we'll take it from there?

Cheers!
