Not so long ago America had almost nothing...
But we could do anything!
Now we have everything...
...and we can do practically NOTHING!

Thanks to an "onslaught of negative feedback", an event featuring Sarah Palin has been canceled.
The Sharon K Pacheco Foundation announced Saturday it was canceling its 2011 Patriots & Warriors Charity Gala out of concern for the safety of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
Palin was scheduled to be the keynote speaker at the event, originally set for May 2.
According to the announcement on the group's website:
Due to an onslaught of personal attacks against Governor Palin and others associated with her appearance, it is with deep sadness and disappointment that, in the best interest of all, we cancel the event for safety concerns, says the Foundations Director.
Leo Pacheco, founder of the organization, expressed concern for the safety of military members and their families. "Military members and their families have been through a lot due to the wars. We have a responsibility to protect their emotional safety just as well," he said.
"And unfortunately, some have overshadowed the purpose of this event by concentrating on their personal hatred of Sarah Palin, which is truly sad."
The event was designed to honor service members and those who have served and/or sacrificed for the country.
Since the Tucson shootings that left Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords wounded, death threats against Sarah Palin have significantly increased, and some took to Twitter to express their desire to see Palin assassinated.
Pacheco noted in the statement that no direct threats have been made, but the ever-growing hateful rhetoric against her - mostly by unhinged liberals - raised concerns for the safety of all involved.
The statement concluded by saying:
The organization deeply respects Sarah Palin, and appreciates her willingness to come and honor our military.
The organization plans to host the event at some point in the future, featuring another speaker.

All she needs to do is ask the public, I will put a bullet in anyones head that draws up.

Our hands are tied with silken threads spun by our enemies.
>> “Military members and their families have been through a lot due to the wars. We have a responsibility to protect their emotional safety just as well,” he said.
By canceling this event, and consequently Sarah’s speech, this misguided individual is effectively saying the families’ sacrifices were in vain.
In crazy liberal world, this will be seen as a victory. Look for the death threats and intimidation to increase by a factor of ten.
You are full of sh*t.
Parroting dishonest leftwing B.S. won’t get you very far here.
You might want to try DU or DailyKos, they’ll eat your crap up.
I remember rioting at a state university when Speaker Gingrich was tapped as keynote for a graduation. I remember Justice Scalia speaking at a private university and being heckled by disruptors in the audience. The Left just cannot handle other ideas being expressed. They are afraid. Their fear manifests as hatred. They do not wish to debate ideas in the public square but instead attack, even with physical violence, any who dares not espouse the Left's chosen view. Free speech? Not allowed.
Then there's the unrepentant Bill Ayers. He's Obama's buddy.
Kind of reminds me of other redundancies like "Navy blue", "tuna fish" and "Table Mesa".
Fascism has always been a liberal thing.

I discussed with a friend last night the WHY of Sarah Palin Derangement Syndrome, here is what we came up with:
1. After the RNC Speech they were scared shiftless that she was able to “Energize the base” 1000X as much as their toadie Juan McCain, and this became a threat and thus became their “public enemy #1”.
2. She doesn’t prescribe to the their ideal of “Institutional Liberal Feminism” and thus is seen as a “Heretic” in the eyes of the “Religion of the 60’s radical Feminist”.
3. She is seen as a threat to the “Pro-Choice” movement, specifically the “Pro-Abortion” Radicals who inhabit that organization because of her willingness to actually have the audacity to give birth and care for a child who has Downs Syndrome instead of just aborting it like the genetic councilors ie. eugenicists prescribe.
4. The Love/Hate paradigm. Before Sarah Palin was nominated for VP she was a bit of a Hero in the minds on some of the left, but for all the wrong reasons. They Loved her for taking on the “Good Ol’ Boys Network” in Alaska performing a good olde fashioned house cleaning and dealing with the political corruption surrounding the oil companies who had bought off the RINOs in Alaska. She was actually doing these things because it “Was the right thing to do” and because it was the Conservative thing to do. The lefties thought she was doing it out of “Social Justice” because it involved punishing Republicans ie. (RINOS), but it was just Plain(Palin) Justice. When she accepted the VP nomination, those on the left who liked her saw it as a complete betrayal and when they realized what her true conservative ideals were, they went from Love straight to Hate and Loathing because they were ashamed they “loved her before they hated her”.
Those are my theories on why Palin Derangement Syndrome exists.
