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".

I agree. No politician should be invested with some sort of mystical ability or elevated as some Utopian ‘hope and change’ type persona.And all politicians should be viewed with circumspection.What is important is that Gov. Palin is the contemporary political figure who is closest to what the founders had in mind:She’s a self starting citizen-politician with values of rugged individualism,character and conservative values as well as a winning personality.(And she can handle a shotgun.)

[techno]

The part of High Noon which is so relevant is that very few of the established Republicans politicos (like the townspeople)will lift a hand to help Sarah out or at least stand by her side as she is being assailed on all sides or has the run the gauntlet to survive.
But she still stands strong and refuses to yield to moments of quiet desperation.

[counterpunch]

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.

[goat granny]

Excellent article.....

[DoughtyOne]

I agree with that. It’s part of the reason why I stated I stand directly behind her on these issues.

The left stands as a solid block, and we stand as crumbling cinders. Paaathetic!

[counterpunch]

The SarahChoir supports her because she is The Most Mediocre Woman in America, making her “just like them.”

[smoothsailing]

as a fan of McCarthy and McCarthyism I reject the analogy.

Why? I doubt Joe would, particularly the last paragraph at your link...

Director Fred Zinnemann, an Austrian Jew, saw himself as steering the film toward a message movie about European failure to fight fascism until it was too late. Zinneman’s vision is ultimately the one that prevails. Kane’s little town isn’t populated by Joe McCarthys — but by Neville Chamberlains.

[smoothsailing]

I stand squarely behind Palin. I may not give her my vote in 2012, someone else may emerge, but I will damn well stand up for her against the likes of what the left has been doing with regard to her.

We are definitely on the same page.

"The attempt by some on our side to envent[sic] an 0bamaesque mythology around Sarah Palin is going to come back to bite us in the butt"

Hmmm, well ok, and kudos to anyone that can interpret this post.

[Vaquero]

well yeah I should have posted a connection to a strictly anti- high noon article.

the script was so bad and so transparent that John Wayne new what it was in a minute and rejected it as being commie. Gary cooper didnt realize what it was.

[smoothsailing]

I think she frightens them. They see her as a threat to their importance as king-makers, just as the Democrats see her as a threat to their twisted ideology. It just makes me like her even more.

[Carl LaFong]

That characterization isn’t really what I said but if that’s what your position is, you’re entitled to it.

[jla]

Thomas Sowell believes future President Palin to be quite intelligent. Thomas Sowell has indisputable credibility, counterpunch has none.

well yeah I should have posted a connection to a strictly anti- high noon article.

LOL! Yeah, and maybe a quote from John Wayne! Thata done it for sure! :)

[Globalist Goon]

Golly! Us rubes shure wud like too now who’n youd vote fer.

[MrB]

Sarah Palin, I assert, is far more intelligent than BHO ever dreamed to be.

BHO has talent, true, but that talent is very narrowly focussed on his ability to read a speech written by someone else, displayed to him word for word on a teleprompter.

In a debate format, this guy very well may be toast, if he gets off message.

[Globalist Goon]

Who do your cocktail party Republican friends think we should vote for?

[MrB]

We can’t leave out the “cosmic battle” aspect of this, either.

Those who despise her are reacting to the “fragrance of the knowledge of God” which is death to those who are dying.
(2 Cor 2:14-16)

Before one can become an American hero or heroine one must first begin to act like one.

Sarah Palin is beginning to act like an American heroine a la Joan of Arc. Her support is ‘tribal’. Her reputation is being uplifted by her genuine sensibilities and her ability to take advantage of every opportunity to score political points and not make any unforced errors.

The Far Left will continue on their quest to destroy Sarah. It is up to us to stand with Sarah and not allow it to be successful, for if it is successful I firmly believe America is doomed to a lifetime of Obama totalitarianism.
