Buh-bye, liberals.
The Sin-tinel just had to get this dig in, didn't it? After all, Obama is the great unifier, isn't he?
However, polarization might be what is needed right now. It is time to separate the wheat from the chaffe, liberalism from conservatism, Rinos from conservatism, ....
Reagan was also accused of being polarizing because he had divided the nation into two groups: The 59% of the nation who voted for him and the the 41% who voted against him.
One person told me they did. But, if you look up Canada nationalized medicine. It says it was enacted in ‘82.
That's the part I don't understand. Why is she considered polarizing? By all accounts she seems like a really nice lady. She's not doing controversial things like George Tiller was. Why hate her(unless you fear her). Her political obit has been written so many times it's got to be driving her ideological opponents in the MSM crazy.
Why? Because if they don't, I suspect she will be loved by many, many independents and even some libs.
Therefore out of desperation, the MSM has set all its firepower against her.
She sure knows how to stick it to the usurpers.
I’d love to see video of this it sounds like a real stem winder. Sarah will continue to pummel bo until he is gone.
On Friday, Palin advocated drilling for oil and natural gas to gain energy independence... advocating for... lower taxes, less spending, more freedom and smaller government... also singled out one Central Florida Democratic politician: U.S Rep. Alan Grayson of Orlando. Palin said voters need to remove the fiery millionaire lawyer in November. "Do it for the rest of America," she said in a speech lasting about 40 minutes.Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
Good point about the loaded concept of “polarizing”.
It’s nonsense but they apply it to people like Sarah, precisely BECAUSE they still can’t bring themselves to apply it to Obama, who richly deserves it.
( I guess the idea behind this is “hey, we’ve got the word
‘polarizing’ laying around, we’ve got to use it every day, so let’s apply it to Palin, since we certainly can’t apply it to Obama—after all, we voted for him’)
BUT, what I am seeing day by day and week by week, is a process whereby, by the time it’s over, Sarah Palin will
have drawn about half of America’s semi-committed Liberals in addition to quite a healthy percentage of Apathetics
over
to her (and our) side. She’s that good.
This ‘polarizing’ label is already coming unstuck.
I expect the MSM a year or two from now, will be congratulating itself on noticing that the “once-polarizing” figure of Sarah Palin is now , somehow, a lot more popular and “mainstream”.
I love the “poor man’s teleprompter” line! She needs to continue to use that because she’s really good at self-deprecating humor and it just makes those who get all wee-wee’d up and attack her look silly when she laughs it off.
Imagine Mitt Romney doing that!
"Found in: John Adams, The Works of John Adams, vol. 4 (Novanglus, Thoughts on Government, Defence of the Constitution) - NO. III. - paragraph 144
"Obsta principiis, nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers, and destroyers press upon them so fast, that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon the American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour. The revenue creates pensioners, and the pensioners urge for more revenue. The people grow less steady, spirited, and virtuous, the seekers more numerous and more corrupt, and every day increases the circles of their dependents and expectants, until virtue, integrity, public spirit, simplicity, and frugality, become the objects of ridicule and scorn, and vanity, luxury, foppery, selfishness, meanness, and downright venality swallow up the whole society."
John Adams words castigate the "arbitrary power" holders in Washington today who have gained their offices by promises to "redistribute" the earnings of hard-working citizens,
did she include John MCCRAP?
Because Americans hate Obama. Nothing polorizing when everyone is on the same page -- expect the freebie-nuts.
The other question is, why use the phrase ‘lashes out.’ Sounds so reactionary and defensive. From what I’ve seen of her speeches, I’d venture to say something like, oh, “pounds,” or “pummels”, for example, might be a better turn of phrase.
And, it’s alliterative! “Palin Pounds Pusillanimous Politicians”
Buh-bye, liberals.
Polarizing is a good quality. There are two parties. They should have two different ideologies. This SHOULD be polarizing. Two moderate party platforms are akin to one party.
The Republicans should start to use “polarizing” and “partisan” as positive terms. Republicans on the right, democrats on the left, and let the voters decide.
Canada nationalized health care in 1966 under Lester B Pearson. Tommy Douglas (The so called father or medicare) brought it to Saskatchewan (a province) in 1962.
FYI, a foreigner cannot just walk into a Canadian hospital so if Palin’s brother was brought there it seems reasonable to me to assume he paid for it.
It should be noted that Tommy Douglas’ party is a distant 3rd (4th in Quebec) in Canada with almost 0 change of ever forming government
