Welcome Back, Dad
I've been trying to convince my fellow conservatives that they have been wasting their time in a fruitless quest for a new Ronald Reagan to emerge and lead our party and our nation. I insisted that we'd never see his like again because he was one of a kind. I was wrong! Wednesday night I watched the Republican National Convention on television and there, before my very eyes, I saw my Dad reborn; only this time he's a she. And what a she! This was Ronald Reagan at his best -- the same Ronald Reagan who made the address known now solely as "The Speech," which during the Goldwater campaign set the tone and the agenda for the rebirth of the traditional conservative movement that later sent him to the White House for eight years and revived the moribund GOP. Welcome back, Dad, even if you're wearing a dress and bearing children this time around.
~Michael Reagan, talk radio host and son of President Ronald Reagan
I watched that speech and it was good. Since then I gave heard conservatives repeat the exact things Journo-baggers said about Palin. The repetition works.
This from a guy who thinks the whinly little b!tch speaks more than applause talking points.
Repetition does work, so how about this:
Palin is not the messiah, nor is she another Reagan. Government under President Palin will not make our economy perfect, nor will it cure bad breath. All I can say for her is that she is so far the best hope our country has to more back in the direction of a limited and constitutional government that allows the American people to solve our own problems. If that’s not enough for her to earn our votes, then we no longer deserve freedom and prosperity.
“While other members of the group debated whether to coordinate a pro-Obama message or, more precisely, whether to concede that such a message was being coordinated Todd Gitlin of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism had already made up his mind. Gitlin, whose job is to train the next generation of Americas most elite journalists, wrote this impassioned plea on behalf of the Obama campaign:
On the question of liberals coordinating, what the hells wrong with some critical mass of liberal bloggers & journalists saying the following among themselves:
McCain lies about his maverick status. Routinely, cavalierly, cynically. Palin lies about her maverick status. Ditto, ditto, ditto. McCain has a wretched temperament. McCain is a warmonger. Palin belongs to a crackpot church and feels warmly about a crackpot party that trashes America.
Repeat after me:
McCain lies about his maverick status. Routinely, cavalierly, cynically. Palin lies about her maverick status. Ditto, ditto, ditto. McCain has a wretched temperament. McCain is a warmonger. Palin belongs to a crackpot church and feels warmly about a crackpot party that trashes America.
These people are cynical. These people are taking you for a ride. These people are fakes. These people love Bush.
Again. And again. Vary the details. There are plenty. Somebody on the list posted a strong list of McCain lies earlier today. Hammer it. Philosophize, as Nietzsche said, with a hammer.
I dont know about any of you, but Im not waiting for any coordination. Get on with it!

Isn’t it time we do a phone call and email campaign to seek this man’s firing? Anybody game? I’ve had enough of this crap. It’s time to fight fire with fire. This man doesn’t deserve to be teaching finger painting 101, much else journalism.
Perhaps it’s time to flood the dean’s office with righteous indignation about this school teaching dishonest propaganda and calling it ‘journalism’.
Given that most of them all but pinned on “O” buttons, it’s a moot point.
