Geez, I am so tired of this theater.
Jerk that pistol and go to work.

When Democrats over-reach, we end up providing health insurance coverage for children who have pre-existing conditions. When Republicans over-reach, we go to war. ~ HELEN PHILPOT
There are ample reasons to fear Sarah Palin, but perhaps only one reason why she is so extraordinarily vile: Her tireless drumbeat advocacy of the so-called Judeo-Christian heritage and American Exceptionalism.
Speaking to an audience at a Christian school in suburban Philadelphia (for a reported $250,000) this week that happened to include my good blogger friend Will Bunch, the former half-term Alaska governor declared:
“We must continue to build on our Judeo-Christian heritage, and it’s nothing to apologize for.”
This is Palin at her most diabolical. Of course being a Jew or Christian is nothing to apologize for, but the implicit message is that all other religions and faiths are not just inferior, but dangerous to the American way of life as proscribed by right-wing Christianists, while the explicit message came a few moments later:
“We can’t lose this next generation — we have to keep teaching them what it means to be an American — the American exceptionalism that so many of us do embrace . . . We can’t lose that for the next generation that will soon be rising up and be our leaders.”
It is unconscionable that Buddhists, Baha’is, Hindus and . . . oh, Muslims, do not make the cut, but the xenophobic fantasy that the United States is fated to be the world’s moral leader is not merely laughable. It is dangerous.
MASS MARKETING ANTI-SEMITISM
And while we’re on the subject, a hat tip to Glenn Beck, the mainscream media torch bearer for . . . well, you can skip the Judeo part of Judeo-Christian heritage.
The Fox News talking head has outdone himself in his ongoing jihad against liberal investor and philanthropist George Soros. The Holocaust survivor, whom Beck has repeatedly accused of creating a shadow government that manipulates currencies for his own enrichment (you know, the old Jewish banker meme) now stands accused (in a three day rant) of being a Nazi collaborator while hiding with a non-Jewish family in his teenage years.
It is not so much astounding that Fox continues to pay this loon millions of dollars to spout bile, but that so many people believe it.
TEA PARTY PIGEONS COME HOME TO ROOST
One of the more . . . um, endearing qualities of the fringiest of the Tea Party fringe is its unapologetic call to arms.
Take far-right radio talk show host Joyce Kaufman, whose description of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as “garbage” kind of pales in comparison with her pleas for her listeners to do violence against the Obama administration.
The violence stuff did not give Republican Representative-Elect Allen West of Florida pause, and he named Kaufman as his new chief of staff. But he changed his mind earlier this week when Broward County schools, some libraries and post offices were put on lockdown after a kook inspired by Kaufman’s imprecations went on the warpath.

You gonna skin that smokewagon or are you gonna stand there and bleed?
(one of my favorite flicks)
Silly me. I forgot about the UN. Of course, they’re the logical choice. /s
Yes, the Founding Fathers must have forgotten the contributions the Muslims made to the Bill Of Rights.
And I’m sure you would label too be an extreme statement:
“And unto you is born in the city this day a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.”(Luke 1:11)
“Neither is there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)
By some the truth is the extreme right!
By the left, they love a lie, which is the opposite of truth!

Great photo of POTUS 45.
Taken by Glenn Beck’s photographer at Restoring Honor Rally on August 28, 2010, while she stood praying for 10 solid minutes...all alone...off to the side. The libtard photographer was so moved, he told Glenn, changed his mind about her.

I posted the photo on this thread because I’m certains she prays for enemies, which is a lot more than I do. I curse and them to Hell...lol.

With enemies like this, how can Palin lose?
Yes, it's interesting that "moderates", more often than not, hate anything to the right of them with a passion that looks exactly like the hatred from the far left. One almost suspects there's some posing going on. Is there any evidence of David Frum ever saying a condescending word about anybody on the extreme left (2/3 of the dem party)?
Well, Bernard Goldberg wrote that many liberals in the media think of themselves as moderates, so why not other liberals?
