What is really amazing is that in spite of the MANY, MANY brain dead comments that spilled out of Biden’s cake hole, Dowd and others have no reservations about the man becoming President. Even worse, Obama, the street organizer is on video admitting that he is unqualified, and almost every thing he has said without a teleprompter over the last two years backs him up, and yet the crazy left has no qualms about Barry leading the country.

This selective criticism of Palin reminds me of the almost identical arguments that the left made about Reagan being an idiot, and Bush lacking Gravitas. They trot out the same old cliche's because they fear Palin, like they feared Regan and Bush.

When I am with my Libbie friends, and they trot out that old "Reagan was an idiot/Bush is an idiot/McCain is an idiot/Palin is an idiot" argument, I will look them right in the eye and say, "I am a Conservative. I find your argument that all Conservatives are stupid to be simplistic and insulting. You should be more careful about what you say."

I have had the pleasure of using that line at least a half dozen times, and it never fails to stop them in their tracks. After you eliminate the "(fill-in-the-Conservative) is an idiot" argument, then got nuthin' left.

They want you to go along to get along, to agree and say, "Oh yeah, that Bush, he is some kind of ignorant cowboy..." But if you do so, you have ceded the field, and they win by default. Don't let them win so easily.

Behold the power of White Guilt.
