Nailed It!

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.)

I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention.

You are welcome to browse the list of truly exceptional articles I pinged to lately. Updated on July 24, 2009.  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about).

Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

I pray Sarah survives it all and comes out swinging.

[Uncle Ivan]

Excellent, excellent article.

We conservatives need to take the gloves off and start fighting fire with fire.

or build her up, and grow her backers

"Lovey and I are against Sarah Palin because she doesn't socialize with any of our friends, and that means she's actually a nobody."

[throwback]

Those people – those actual conservatives that went out and voted – don’t think Sarah Palin cost John McCain the election. They think John McCain cost Sarah Palin the election.

I be one of them. When I wrote my checks to the campaign, I averted my eyes from McCain and focused on the conservative on the ticket.

People need to see this video and face the issue that Bill Whittle presents at the end, and face it squarely.

I am not a fan of Palin. But the more she annoys all the right people, the more I like her. I am fascinated with that feral hate she generated. Something works on sub-conscience levels here. They can’t help themselves... And I just like how they squirm.

"Every good movement in the history of the world has been led by an infinitesimal minority . . . the perfect example, Jesus of Nazareth. Edmund Burke wrote, 'How often has public calamity been arrested on the very brink of ruin by the seasonable energy of a single man?' Just a few -- ONE - is enough!'" - Dr. Leonard Read, Foundation for Economic Education

It has been said that "One man plus truth is an army."

That is why ideologues who wish to substitute government's coercive power (their own) for the inestimable "power of one" individual must attack and try to destroy that power.

After all, the meek and mild Spirit who came to bring peace on earth was subjected to ridicule by those who were far inferior accusers. So it is today. In over 2000 years, why believe that anything has changed in the makeup of likewise imperfect individuals who wish to impose their own wills on the rest of mankind?

America was founded on a different and unique idea--that individuals in the society hold the power through their own Constitution's provisions, and that those elected to positions of power in government are "bound down" (Jefferson).

"We conservatives need to take the gloves off and start fighting fire with fire."

Given the massive outpouring of rage from the left and their media allies, it appears that we are, and that it is working.

They ger REALLY, REALLY, REALLY upset when their own tactics are successfully used against them.

“They can’t help themselves”

It’s a mental illness with them. I used to laugh at the idea of an actual mental disorder known as Palin Derangement Syndrome, but after almost a year of fanatical, and vitriolic hatred just seeth out of some of these people, I know for a fact that PDS is real. We could easily fill every bed in every mental ward across the country ten times over with these folks. Electro Convulsive Therapy might help.

Excellent! Thanks for posting.

She needs to be destroyed because the one thing that can never be allowed to happen is this: you cannot have a voice in this political debate. You know who I mean. You rubes, you hicks out there in flyover country. Your job is pay taxes, vote for who they have decided over cocktails makes them feel better about themselves, and occasionally provide your inbred idiot sons and daughters for the army or police force or whatever you people without Ivy League educations do with your tawdry little lives.

Nailed it is right! Whittle hits another home run.

What does not kill Sarah Palin will only make her stronger.

[FrankR]

To those who think that the "Destruction of Sarah Palin" has happened, I say...

Do not calculate upon the amount of juvenile poultry before the process of incubation has fully materialized.


PSSSST...For those liberals who may be reading this, that means "Don't count you chickens before they hatch"

[TheOldLady]

The “...a final, quick little thought...” should be required reading for all Conservatives everywhere.

A great essay... although I wish he had spelled Alinsky’s name correctly. That’s the English teacher in me.

He’s sure as hell right about fighting the left, though. Using the tactics of the left does not mean adopting the politics of the left. The left means to destroy our country and culture; it is literally a fight to the death. They started the war, not us. If that’s what they want, so be it. I don’t want it, and I’m not even well-suited for it, but when I look at my son I think about his future, and I’m willing to make the sacrifice.
