COL John “Jack” Sallee was a good man. Witty, charming, and decisive, he had a way of cutting through the BS. He was my Commanding Officer in the Army. I was sorry to hear of his passing. He prominently displayed a sign on the wall of his office in the headquarters building. Perhaps it was a warning to his troops, but I think it was an endearing, sort of self-deprecating reminder.
In big, bold letters it read: “DON’T DO DUMB THINGS”. It was simple, eloquent, and said it all—good advice for all of us. I wish Sarah Palin had met COL Sallee, or at least read his sign.
Hugh Betcha and the staff of Stoos Views have long supported Sarah Palin—for what their support was worth—in several previous columns. They defended her against her Democrat detractors, against the slander and libel directed toward her wonderful family, and against the mean-spirited, sleazy Letterman jokes about the rape of Sarah’s daughter.
Since her sudden appearance on the national scene, Sarah has been the darling of the Right—and many people in the middle of the political spectrum. She has many endearing qualities, including; strong family values, good morals, advocate of the unborn and those born with challenges, and a happy outgoing personality. But, unfortunately, she just keeps doing dumb things.
We all do dumb things, but we all do not run for President of the greatest country on earth. And, we who do not run for President, expect more from those who do. We expect a modicum of good judgment; comprehension of the great issues of our day; the ability to think on your feet; circumspection; wisdom; and the ability to lead with one’s brain rather than one’s chin.

I was curious about what ‘dumb thing’ she did in Mr. Stoos’s estimation, but not curious enough to give him a hit.
I didn’t read the rest, you guys are actually telling me the criticism is that HER PARENTS once brought HER BROTHER to a doctor in Canada?
And so I am supposed to support Obamacare which I fear and loathe because her brother was brought to a certain doctor 30 or 40 years ago?
I’ll see this ancient story, and raise him the Canadian premier who just came to Florida to get a procedure unavailable in Canada, and when his life was threatened by the Canadian system’s delays. That last month.
Stoos suffers “Petard Envy”..
I guess hugh didn’t read Going Rogue.
It is a canard because Canada did NOT HAVE SOCIALIZED MEDICINE WHEN PALIN WENT THERE FOR CARE.
Sheesh!
PDS is rampant.
Unlike Alanis Morisset, Palin actually understands what the word “ironic” means.
And Canada's socialized medicine wasn't THAT socialist then, and as a U.S. citizen you would still have to pay, even if it was 100% socialist.
Palin’s father responded to this tempest in a teacup by pointing out that THEY PAID FOR THE MEDICAL CARE.
So, her brother gets injured, they take him to the most conveniently located medical facility, they PAY FOR THE SERVICE, and Sarah correctly points out that Americans going to Canada for medical care is “ironic”.
The only ones “doing dumb things” about this story was the MSM and this tool from Crappy Canada Free (and worth what you pay for it) Press.
He's a Canadian and appears to be unaware that socialized medicine arrived in Canada in the different provinces AFTER Sarah's parents took her with them for emergency treatment for her brother.
You'd think these Leftwingtard Canadians would know that there's a thing called "the flow of time" ~ but I guess they don't.
Subsequently Americans have learned to NEVER GO TO CANADA for emergency medical treatment. As word has spread it's gotta' be affecting their remote fishing camp businesses.
please...
That does it. I refuse to EVER vote for Sarah Palin for the presidency of Canada.
OK, I read it.
I’m sorry, if you’re making a big deal about going to the doctor in Canada then you really don’t have much to say. Ditto if you’re still going after her for going on a TV comedy show.
What it really boils down to is this. Put Sarah’s name in your headline and people will click on your piece. Works every time. Put O’s name in the headline, or Biden, or any but a very small handful of politician’s names and people will just click on by without stopping to read.
People like her, and they are interested in her. That by itself doesn’t qualify her to be president, but it guarantees that would-be pundits are going to keep going after her everytime they sit down to a keyboard. Got writer’s block? Just type “Sarah” and go.
Maybe William K. Stoos should take his own advice.

You could make that a tagline.
Lol, good one.
tsk, tsk. I understand why a PDS wacko might write a scurlious, misleading piece such as this but I can’t for the life of me understand why it would be posted on this forum.
Maybe but he lives in Wynstone, South Dakota.
And the PDS crew might want to as well.
