What Does Not Kill You Will Make You Stronger. Palin Emerges Stronger
Irish Central ^ | June 5, 2011 | Ed Farnan

Posted on 06/05/2011 6:49:07 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Sarah Palins direct Alaskan style has started to resonate with the citizens of the lower 48 states. She attracts great crowds of enthusiastic supporters wherever she appears.

In spite of the concerted savage attacks by the established leftist main stream media, she is having a resurgence in popularity. As if grasping at straws, some are even breathlessly reporting (Martin Bashir, of NBC of course) that her bus tour of national monuments is somehow illegal?

Those of lesser character and strength would have wilted under the continued hateful attacks aimed at knocking her out of politics. But Sarah Palin seems to grow stronger as she finds an inner strength that inspires her onward and inspires Americans at the same time.

She has a disdain for the media that has repeatedly tried to undermine her at every turn, sent investigative reporters to her elementary school to dig up dirt on her and practiced the art of character assassination on her at every level, public and private. It brings a great truth to mind when you see the indomitable Sarah plow forward: "What does not kill you, will make you stronger".

It makes one speculate if that same media would have probed Obamas past with the same zeal they have gone after Sarah Palin, before the 08 election, if he would have been elected President? Would it have meant a Hillary Clinton as President instead? It is interesting to probe that possibility as we start the new political season.

When Sarah Palin first came on the scene, she spoke in a language many of us had not heard in a long time, direct truth in what she believes in, not sugar coated. That rankles many who like to ignore the herd of elephants in the living room and pretend that there is no economic problem that bigger government can't solve and simplistic all we have to do with terrorists/dictators is sit down and have a beer with them.

It will be interesting to see what Sarah Palin feels inspired to do, whether she will run for President or who she will throw her weight behind in the coming Presidential election. But one thing for sure, she will speak out fearlessly on what she believes in and that is what America desperately wants to hear.

Oh please - how about "probing the possibility" of having "probed" Hillary's past with "zeal" in 08 - or ever, for that matter. She makes Obama look like a choirboy, and her trail looks like a crash-landing of a Borg ship scraped across half a planet.

I can't stand reading stuff that has a grammatical error in even the first sentence.

It's as the author thinks his readership is stupid.

No thanks.

Irish Central, Irish Voice and Irish American are far-left publications published by NYC lefties. This is pretty fair its readers socialists and worse.

“some are even breathlessly reporting (Martin Bashir, of NBC of course) that her bus tour of national monuments is somehow illegal?”

As opposed to what? Going to war against a sovereign nation, and calling for it’s leader’s assassination without congressional approval?
As opposed to having your BATF sell guns to the Mexican drug cartels to try and fool the American public into believing citizen gun dealers were doing it?
As opposed to having not been born in this country, or at least being a Natural born citizen in direct violation of the Constitution?
As opposed to having multiple Social Security Numbers, and not having any explanation as to why, and not producing 1 legitimate SSN?

I’d like to tie a rope around Martin Bashir’s testicles, and tie the other end to the bumper of the bus, but I doubt they’re big enough to get a rope around, probably have to use thread.
I’d love to see Martin Bashir expend a tenth of the “breathless” energy questioning whether any one of the thousands of illegal activities this administration has inflicted on the American people deserves the attention of he and his fellow “whores”.

I know the Bible says we are supposed to love our enemies, but I wouldn’t urinate in this guy’s mouth if his teeth were on fire.

LOL!

As soon as I posted that, I thought, yep, someone is going to find a typo of mine and post it as example of a grammatical error. Word!

Look.

First, typing “the” instead of “tho” is a typo, not a grammatical error or a misspelling. Nevertheless, I agree with you that it’s a good thing to strive for our posts to be error-free.

But, secondly, and here’s the actual point: my posts here on FR are not “published articles” that are put out there for the public at large to read and, it is hoped, be educated by. I

I can guarantee that when I do publish articles and books, they do not have “it’s” for “its” in the first or any other sentence.

Now, I do make that and other errors sometimes in the haste of posting (alas, no proofreading), but that’s way different from making glaring grammatical errors in a published piece.

Unless you are arguing that this author’s grammar does not matter, and that we should all roll with “it’s” for “its,” “their” for “they’re,” “your” for “you’re” and on into illiteracy, I fail to see how pointing out a typo made in an informal post, not a published piece, adds anything to this discussion.

Cheers!
