Visit and read the American Thinker regularly. They have great material.

Sarah Palin is going to shake the Democratic leftist-liberal house to its foundation, and then bring it down...in fact, she's already doing so.

She, her family, their faith, their values, and their story represent the absolute refutation of all the tired old liberal mantras and victimology that they malignantly use to mentally, psychologically, and financially enslave whole classes of people.

From women's rights, to family values, to gun rights, to abortion, to energy policy, to taxation, to envrionmentalism, to fundamental governing principal, to U.S. soveriegnty and independence, and on and on...she is a wrecking ball to the leftist, libneral, socialist house.

Thanks to Jeff Head for compiling this great pictorial collection of Sarah.

Excellent! I’m going to share this one with my socialist older brother since it’s written using such a clever technique. Thanks for posting it.

I love the pix’s, but what is so strange is that she has family with her in most of them. Won’t the Dem’s get the wrong idea?

We members of “Sarah’s Tribe” are a quaint and exotic tribe of people, I grant you that. However, since the liberal establishment are always supposed to be tolerant and understanding of “alternative lifestyles,” I am sure that they will learn to accept us just the way we are!

[SampleMan]

We need to send this to every reporter out there that has smeared Gov. Palin. This is great!!

[airedale]

Not a chance. They consider us lepers and infidels.

[airedale]

See that conservative talk show hosts get it they’ll read and excerpt it and then link to it so that it gets wide distribution.

[alyse615]

I agree about American Thinker. I always enjoy well-crafted satire.

She off’d Bullwinkle!!!!

[jacquej]

Ping!

Excellent!

I might add the following paragraph.

Marriage

When members of the tribe have reached maturity and wish to mate, the tribe conducts a ceremony called “marriage.” Opposite sex members of the tribe commit to a long-term, exclusive agreement of partnership which they present to the community at this ceremony. The agreement allows the couple to publicly acknowledge that their partnership is sexual and to care for the children that follow their sexual involvement. Unlike your own tribe, these commitments often lead to rich, rewarding “families.” Tribe members who are successful in marriage are accorded honor rather than jealousy and attack as in your culture. Tribe members who are bound by commitment to attractive and reproductively active partners are regarded as “blessed.” Within the tribe it is regarded as “sin” to undermine another’s “marriage” or “family.”

Whether they really want to, or not...

[Donald Rumsfeld Fan]

... If you discover sin within her family, the tribe accepts that sin is inevitable. Instead, they judge how Sarah and the family deal with the consequences. And if they perceive that the "right" thing is being done, they admire her all the more.

In short, understanding the Tribe of Sarah is going to require you to stretch your minds and learn some new and unfamiliar concepts. Further reading will pay big dividends. But this sort of mental exercise can be both useful and fun, for it can enhance your understanding of yourself, too. That's the great benefit of cross-cultural studies.

Happy Learning!

“She off’d Bullwinkle!!!!”

Naah, that was Rudolph!

[VigilantAmerican]

Loved it. I’d already seen it in another post before you pinged me. Here are my comments copied from there:

Reminds me of “Body Ritual Among the Nacirema,” one of the most ingenious and creative pieces of writing I’ve ever come across, which I was assigned to read in Sociology 101 back in the ‘80’s...hint: “Nacirema” spelled backward is...

Exquisite. Bravo!

[redpoll]

Thank you! I have to teach World History to high schoolers, with a focus on culture... what a hoot! I have some kids laughing out loud right now about the holy-mouth-men. I loved the part about women baking their heads in small ovens. Classic. Thank you again.

One of our good friends, Eddie Spalten from San Antonio , fishes at the Wildman Lodge on the Alaskan Peninsula . The lodge is owned by Butch and Kathy Wildman. The Wildmans spend their winters in Texas and their summers in Alaska . Kathy’s father and former husband served in the Alaskan legislature for around 30 years so Butch and Kathy know Alaska politics.

Eddie emailed Butch and asks Butch what the Wildmans think of Gov. Sarah Palin. Butch’s unedited email is attached below. Please read it and forward it to your friends. This is what the citizens of Alaska think of Sarah Palin!

Thanks, Gene Powell

Hi Eddie:

Fishing is good here at Wildman and I rarely have time for politics, but many of our friends are asking us “Who is Sarah Palin?” Of course, as Alaskans, Kathy and I are extremely proud of her. We just want to let you know that Sarah “Barracuda” Palin is a straight shooting, hard charging, get it done gal. She knows when to listen, how to analyze the facts and how to make a decision, then implement the plan. She doesn’t do a poll before jumping in with both feet like too many of the Washington types. She has little legislative experience because she has always held the EXECUTIVE position; in private life, as mayor of Anchorage ’s largest bedroom community or more recently as Governor of our State. She is a smart, attractive home grown Alaska girl with excellent moral and family values.

She can see what needs to be done and does not hesitate to get it done.

One of our State’s major problems is that its Capital is in Juneau, 500 miles from the nearest road and 800 air miles from the population base which is Anchorage, Wasilla and Fairbanks. Our legislature and most of the State government is in Juneau and they ALL behave like a bunch of freshmen in a college town. It has been this way since Statehood in 1959. When Sarah moved to Juneau , so did accountability and responsibility When the oil revenue started flown and a barrel of North Slope Crude hit $23.00, these people began spending money like drunken sailors. You can only imagine what was happenings when oil hit $100.00 a barrel, about the time Sarah took command. My wife Kathy has first-hand experience with this fiasco, as her father and also her ex-husband were Alaska Legislators who served in Juneau as Senators, Senate President, or members of the State House for a combined period spanning nearly three decades.

About the time Sarah took the HELM as Governor of Alaska, about half of the State legislature was in the pocket of big oil companies or contractors doing big projects for Native Corporations around Alaska, all funded by State oil revenue. Alaska government was nothing but a good old boys club riding the perpetual wave of prosperity. This filtered down from the legislature, through the Department of Natural Resources, Department of Labor and even spilled in to the Public Safety who are supposed to “preserve and protect”.

When Sarah walked into the Governor’s Mansion, she promptly dismissed the State Trooper detachment assigned to Governor and had her and her husband’s gun case brought in from Wasilla. Then, she got rid of the former Governor’s STATE Jet and told legislators that there were no more free rides, they would have to fly Alaska Airlines, just like her and her family if they wanted to travel. Next came the nut cutting (the Barracuda part) the heads that rolled were too numerous to name, but when Sarah finished cleaning house, a number of our legislators ended up in jail for on corruption charges, or tendered their resignations along with numerous department heads and those who have been riding the gravy train for way too long, AND THEN SHE HAD LUNCH. By the end of the day, Sarah Palin had saved the people of Alaska millions and has not yet slowed down.

She has truly brought CHANGE to Juneau . I personally know several persons in the private sector in Alaska , that hold her in high esteem. She surrounds herself with smart people, many from my hometown of Anchorage , she listens to them but makes her own decisions. Sarah Palin is a no B.S. politician. It is refreshing that there is such a thing anymore. You want to talk about CHANGE? You should see a before and after picture of the State government in Alaska . That’s CHANGE! Sarah will bring a number of things to the election. I am sure she will appeal many voters who my otherwise could have gone the other direction on election day. The conservative block will not be for Barack. We have their vote. We need what Sarah will bring, first to the election and second, what she will bring to Washington D.C. McCain has been advised well, Let’s just hope the American people can get the straight scoop on her in the weeks ahead. This is just the opinion of one Alaska Bush Pilot and Guide, who pays attention to national politics, watches the news and is deathly afraid of the direction our nation is headed. I guarantee that if Sarah gets a chance to dig her spurs into the flanks of the liberal Washington types, they will know that she is in the saddle.
