Sarah Palin At High Noon

By Lloyd Marcus

I just watched the classic movie "High Noon" (again). Gary Cooper played a brave sheriff who brought law and order to his town. As one woman said, "He made it safe for a decent woman to walk down the street". A recently released outlaw was coming back to town on the noon train to deliver vengeance against the sheriff who put him away. His gang of three arrived early to help their leader take out the sheriff.

Fully aware of why the bad men were in town, the sheriff could not arrest them because they had not broken any laws. Waiting is not illegal.

Desperate, the sheriff interrupted a church service to solicit help. After much debate, the ungrateful town folks declined. They even suggested the sheriff "get out of town" hoping the trouble would follow him. The sheriff contemplated their recommendation. He began saddling his horse, but something inside would not allow him to run away. Heroically, the sheriff faced the bad guys and won!

I thought of another strong, gutsy, bold, stand-on-principles hero, Sarah Palin, in her own modern day version of High Noon. Sheriff Palin rode into America Town on a white horse with conservative guns blazing and saved a dead McCain campaign. She brought hope to weary and battered conservative town folks and gave them a reason to vote.

Outlaw Obama and his posse, the hate filled liberal media/Democrat gang, came to town a gunnin' to politically eliminate Sheriff Palin. They ambushed her at Miss Katie Couric's CBS saloon. Though wounded numerous times, Sheriff Palin survived.

She bravely stood tall and rode high in the saddle while ungrateful, weak kneed Republican town folks ran for cover, hid in their homes and peeked nervously through the curtains.

Why are Obama and his gang so committed and desperate to destroy Palin? Could it be they recognize her destiny, like that of Moses, to set her people free? And why is she so despised by them? Obama's gang hate Palin for all the reasons we love her. Sheriff Palin is a good, decent and strong character driven conservative leader. Palin also believes in God. Such humility and virtues are as repulsive to liberals as showing Dracula the cross.

Something that sticks in the craw of many liberal women is that in their youth, they brought into the feminist rhetoric that women's liberation means no husband and family. Tragically, they find themselves aging and alone. Meanwhile, this conservative woman has it all: great career, fine family and a husband who loves and respects her. Adding insult in injury, Sheriff Palin looks mighty fine in her jeans.

Recently, the libs sent an old washed up gunslinger, the Letterman Kid, to challenge Sheriff Palin to a shoot out. Palin planted two bullets between the pathetic old dude's wrinkly eyes before he could un-holster his gun.

Despite Sheriff Palin's courage and willingness to fight, Obama and his posse rule America Town. They are in the process of taking over everything! Obama took over the livery stable and banned horses. While he and his posse continue riding horses, we town folks are forced to ride miniature ponies.

But in the spirit of what has made America Town great, an uprising is a brewin'. A huge conservative posse is building daily. Our first battle will be in 2010 to win back America Town's House and Senate. Then, in 2012, God willing and the creek don't rise, Sheriff Palin will lead us to victory in the battle of Little Big Washington DC. Years earlier, another great lawman cleaned up America Town, Sheriff Ronald Reagan.

After Sheriff Palin sweeps out the Obama gang, perhaps once again, we will be as what Sheriff Reagan affectionately called us, "a shining city on a hill".

Bwahahahahahaha ... she cuts them to shreds with such aplumb! A southern Lady might have asked, "Bless his heart, is John Kerry actually paying attention, now?"

[Bryan24]

Scares you a lot, doesn’t she?

[smoothsailing]

It was that good!

I swear, when I read it, I could imagine Ronald Reagan saying the exact same words, Except ONE! Instead of “Well, shoot...”, Reagan would’ve said “Well, shucks...”

Great Stuff!

[Bryan24]

You’re a frickin idiot.

The only reason McCain didn’t lose by 30 pts was Palin.

Palin was so popular she sucked all the air out of McCain’s campaign. McCain and Romney (the other RINO in waiting) have been attacking her since 7:00 pm on election night.

You are offering NOTHING but divisiveness. I smell a troll.

[skinkinthegrass]

Someone asked you previously, whom your GOP cocktail crowd wants us to vote for. So far I haven't read a response (maybe it's further down). Please tell us who the next anointed RINO is going to be.

well, counterpunch...who would you pick?

...the only thing, you've done is Bitch!
Bitch!
Bitch!
and then Bitch! some more.

again, counterpunch...who would you pick?
the S.C. Guv, took himself out...
{IMHO} Myth, Colon B. / McPain / Arnold...are ALL "stinking" RINOS
...lets' try to be "somewhat constructive"...not destructive.
...or is it just *ME* *ME* *ME* w/ you.

thank you, for your post. AFB.

[duckln]

The one on utube takes to long for me to download and the audio is not very clear. Anyone have a snippet of it?

[Bryan24]

You’ve taken up 150 posts and not put forward a single candidate or put forward a single idea as a plank in a platform.

All you are doing is denigrating Palin. You are obviously a supporter for one of the RINO’s jockeying for position to run in 2012.

Either provide some substance yourself or get lost.

[jazusamo]

ROFLOL!

Good videos. Jon Carie would do well to never mention Sarah Palin again, he’s way outclassed and on the short end of intelligence.

Palin reminds me of George Bush when visiting our military. When amongst them and meeting them she’s relaxed and genuinely happy to be there, that can’t be faked.

Thanks for the heads up.

[skinkinthegrass]

To the contrary, McCain’s staff worked to silence or sabotage her.

(the above) Is the honest truth..."Strawberries" McPain, Did not want to win.

[shield]

Yep, the last person who stirred up the left like Sarah does today was Ronald Reagan.

[smoothsailing]

Youtube is probably the fastest download your going to find. Here’s a 44 second version with just the Kerry part. The audio is as good as it gets. A soldier in the audience shot the video on his cell.

Read the words again and then go to the video, it should help you understand what Sarah says

“Senator John Kerry makes this joke..I don’t know if you saw this...but he makes this joke saying “Well, shoot, of all the governors in the nation to disappear, too bad it couldn’t have been that Governor from Alaska.”

Well, when he said it he looked quite frustrated, and he looked so sad, and I just wanted to reach out to the TV and say “John Kerry, why the long face?”

It was great the way the soldiers reacted, they clearly enjoyed her saying it, and they enjoyed her being there.

[Swordfished]

Palin is not a savior, she is just a decent lady who would preserve our Republic.

I don't notice any particular fire in her belly, just a whole lot of smiling.

[Gargantua]

Just damn is right.

She's the single-best chance we have of not just taking it all back, but then making hay while the conservative sun shines, fixing the mess 0'bone-pimp has made. And some here just join Katie Couric and the Infamous 8 who screwed themselves in The House today, and blast away at her as though we should hate her too.

I do not get it.

Just damn.

[Swordfished]

Sarah Palin is a dim bulb.
She’s less articulate than George Bush.
We can’t afford people who can’t form a coherent sentence anymore.
Palin fails the most basic requirement of a conservative leader: the ability to make an intelligent case for conservative solutions.

When she said on national TV “No wonder young girls especially have such low self-esteem in America when we think it’s funny for a so-called comedian to get away with such a remark as he did,” that was the last straw for me. That is utter gibberish. One too many stumbling incoherent statements in a long line of stumbling incoherent statements from here. If conservatives can’t find ANYONE smarter than her to carry the message, then it isn’t a message worth carrying. We may as well pack it in and admit we’re the STUPID PARTY once and for all.

I don’t care what she ‘represents’ if she can’t even form a grammatically correct sentence. The conservative cause was SETBACK by years because of George W. Bush’s inability to communicate. We didn’t progress under Bush. We need a communicator. If not a Great Communicator, at least an Adequate Communicator. Palin is not that person, and can never be that person.

You hit the nail right on the head.

[neverdem]

When she said on national TV “No wonder young girls especially have such low self-esteem in America when we think it’s funny for a so-called comedian to get away with such a remark as he did,” that was the last straw for me. That is utter gibberish.

The omission of the common contraction "It's," from the start of that string of words means she can't communicate? She gave that great convention address with a bum teleprompter. I wouldn't be so obsessive/compulsive about grammar when the other prospective candidates are so uninspiring or tarnished. Sarah connects with the base.

[Oztrich Boy]

It’s depending on the meaning of it’s.

[SolidWood]

Palin PING!

Anyone on or off the Palin ping, write me.

[counterpunch]

Leaving off “It’s” is the least of the grammatical problems in Palin’s statement “No wonder young girls especially have such low self-esteem in America when we think it’s funny for a so-called comedian to get away with being able to make such a remark as he did and to think that that’s acceptable.”

We think it’s funny to get away with being able to think that that [Letterman’s joke] is acceptable? I can’t even wrap my head around what she’s saying. Just when I think I’ve gotten to the bottom of it, I find yet another condition lurking just below. Who is she criticizing? Letterman for telling the joke? Or the people who get away with thinking his joke is acceptable? Or the people who think that it’s funny to get away with thinking that Letterman’s joke is acceptable? What exactly is she trying to say?

The problem is more often than not, when Sarah Palin opens her mouth, something equally incoherent comes out.

[neverdem]

Palin can’t offer policies like that. You know this. She can whip up a crowd with her shrill criticisms of 0bama and other TV celebrities, and create a media circus around her, but she’s not a serious individual and problem solver in the long tradition of American statesmen.

You have to be kidding. The rats always come up with grandiose solutions like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid that promote waste, fraud and abuse with bankrupt financing. The American Clean Energy and Security Act that the rats got yesterday ensures expenive energy and high taxes for a problem that has not existed for a decade, i.e. global warming despite increasing carbon dioxide concentrations.

What problem do we have that wasn't caused by populism/socialism? Sarah can say that with the authority of Maggie Thatcher. Palin can say that when you find yourself just in a hole, stop digging! "It's," in a long tradition from Carter vs. Reagan, Giuliani vs. Dinkins, Cuomo vs. Pataki, etc. The left makes a complete mess. The right gets a chance to correct.

He’s probably a Huckabee lover.
