While it is encouraging to see this posted on HuffPo, I always sleep with one eye open around these lefties.
Palin/Cheney '12!
elected officials on the left never try to come together....they are enemies of the country, and you can’t read Obowow’s book because he hasn’t written one.
I enjoyed reading this, seems like a thoughful guy....very unlike most liberals
The author had better take cover; the libs will be dragging him through the mud soon. To liberals, there is nothing good about Sarah.
I would have liked to see the writer expand or explain the basis of his assertion in connection with "platitudes" and "self-righteous" air. My guess and prejudice is that I would strongly disagree with the writer; I suspect that there would be little substance in his explanation, but, instead, the usual disordered thinking characteristic of Democrats and other leftists.
I'm sorry, but what "CORE VALUE" of America does the left champion? And when has any leftist/progressive/socialist program ever worked in the long run?
It’s amazing. The writer admits Sarah Palin was the victim of one of the nastiest, most unfair, most unprincipled attacks when she ran for office. Then he’s dismayed that she didn’t view liberals as being on the same team. Oops, forgot: Liberal “Logic”. You’re supposed to completely contradict yourself within an article or you’re banned from liberalism forever.
Hell may be approaching negative numbers - Kelvin.
My concern now regarding Palin is that with her successful book tour and general popularity she’ll become conceited.
“The way I see it, healing the rift between Democrats and Republicans helps to heal the rift in our own hearts. The truth is that each party tends to champion one side of America’s core values and we need both to operate in complementary and respectful ways for us to address the challenges we face. As each of us heals that prejudice in ourselves, we truly become part of the solution.”
Nothing could be further from the truth. After coming to a real understanding of Governor Palin, he lapses back into Liberalism.
The conflict he’s talking about isn’t within ourselves. It’s the old, old fight between good and evil. Socialism denigrates man that is made in the image and likeness of the glorious Lord of Glory. That comes grom the hater of man, Satan.
That’s what this struggle is about; between those who want to make man a digit in a mass society and those who respect individuals as God made them.
Even the fact that he was able to think outside of the lefty box is not enough for him to be come a clear thinker. He is able to look at Palin differently, but he still does not look at BHO in the same light. Obama’s book was a piece of crap that was hardly readable. He needs to look at BO with the same critical eye as he uses on Palin and then he might be worth while reading.
I'm reading her book; I don't think there is much risk of that.
How can your declared enemy be your fellow ally?
The author has the truth staring him in the face--Sarah has done more to fight corruption, and to exhibit the values of integrity and class than any other modern politician--all the while being a mom to five and a Governor of a State--and he still says he won't vote for her.
Typical lib.
I questioned that as well - the left DESPISES the “core values” of America. Every policy has as its object to subjugate the individual to the tyranny of the collective.
Notice also that he referred to “the universe” as the directive force in SP’s life. Typical cosmic humanist belief slipping through there.
He may have “softened” a bit and felt some regret for the harsh treatment of SP by his homies, but he’s still in the enemy camp. And by “enemy”, I mean the father of lies.
Satan’s ordering snow machines.
Good for Dinan. I can’t be “healed” from the evil that is liberalism/Marxism, but it’s nice to know that his heart is open to American values that Sarah represents.
Of course he admits that he could never vote for her, so it’s fair to say that his heart and mind still need a lot more healing.
I think this is a good example of the utility of a certain amount of polite engagement.
There are democrat supporters that have little political philosphy but approach political stances’t from merely looking at what sounds good and reasonable. The left has been good at recruiting these people and keeping them involved by showing how much they care.
I have met many people that if they can get around their one hot button, don’t stay adhered to a leftist philosphy.
This guy asks himself why he hates Sarah so much. The answer is in this article. He loves her when she behaves like a strong independent woman but hates her when she behaves like a strong leader.
To keep order in his world, strong leadership roles have to be reserved for men only....not women. He is threatened by her because she is a woman and just as capable as a man in a leadership role.
The more you learn about [liberal] psychology, the better you will be able to connect with [liberals]![Liberals] are not humans. Before they receive love and affection, [liberals] need exercise, clear direction, and leadership. Giving them love alone doesn't create balance in their lives. Be a pack leader!
Rehabilitating a [liberal] is not about "fixing" it. It's about you, the owner, creating the intention for what you want, not what youre feeling. [Liberals] pick up on feelings of fear, doubt, or worry and they will move to fill them by attempting to become dominant.
Practice unwavering leadership every day, especially on your walk. The energy you're projecting internally is the message you're sending to [liberals].
Mush.
