I don’t begrudge her the money. I do think it’s silly how much people think she’s some sort of great crusader. She’s a pundit, a professional celebrity. She went from obscure governor to VP of a doomed candidacy and somehow a cult developed around her. She isn’t effective, she isn’t a thorn in anybody’s arses. She’s making money to talk to the choir. Which is fine, but let’s not pretend it’s changing the world. Like most professional talkers if she disappeared tomorrow people would forget about her the day after.
“...I don’t begrudge her the money....”
No, I didn’t think you did. Did not mean to imply it, either; my point was that no matter what is takes for her to get face time, voice time, photo time, she’ll do it - it drives the left bat-sh*t crazy that she’s out there.
“...She isn’t effective, she isn’t a thorn in anybody’s arses...”
We’ll disagree there, friend. A LOT of women see her, hear her, and compare her to the shrill harpies on the left. I teach women to shoot; I talk to them all the time, and Mrs. Palin is definitely a face they know and relate to.
“...Which is fine, but let’s not pretend it’s changing the world....”
It’s not changing “the world”, but she has an impact here and now; the specter of her running again is always on their minds... the whole “living in their heads rent-free” thing.
“...and somehow a cult developed around her. ..”
That’s because she gave people a bit of hope for something better - related to things that a lot of us remember and want to get back. Everybody needs that.
Hell, “hope” is how this frigging assclown got elected in the first place!
I think in the grand scheme of things, Mrs. Palin has a part to play - like you, me, and a host of other folks.
She’s got my support - as a candidate, as a pundit, or a professional celebrity.
Hell, she’s an old-school American, and I’ll support that ANY and EVERY time.
Sounds as if she's interested in more than just preaching to the choir.

Yes, we have launched our video channel looking for the support of our community through subscriptions.
