That should be good. Is this the one with whitewater rafting, too?

Wonderful column at The American Thinker today, posted here: The left sees history's fist coming. Again.

Can’t you just see the metrosexual potus and his wildebeest out there in Alaska trying to figure out how to survive? That would be hilarious!

For about a week or so, which not so coincidentally would be their lifespan in the wilds, maximum...

Where the bleeding heart animal worsippers lose all credibility with real people is the fact that if you asked them to join you in an effort to protect unborn children from abortion, as well as protecting animals, they’d spit in your face, or worse!

I DVR’d the most recent SP’s Alaska and viewed it Monday evening. I had been afraid that having “P & M” Kate Gosselin on the show would somehow besmirch Sarah and her family. But to my mind, when Kate started her kveching and p-ing and m-ing, all it did was show HER for what SHE IS, and made Sarah look all the better, as a genuine person, who can handle the rough as well as the smooth.

"All this red flyover country identifies with the Palins; most us of know someone who went up to Alaska to work the pipeline or the other opportunities, and kick ourselves for not also doing it."

So true. I've often thought my dad would have loved to live in Alaska, with his love of the outdoors, hunting and fishing. I think I would have loved it too.

Yep and the other night on Oprah's special, Betty White admitted that she likes animals more than people. Well, she is an old lady, and I don't think she has any children. but thers is the mindset of a lot of those pro-abortion, animal rights idiots.

I love animals too, and I hate whale hunters and others who shoot American Bald Eagles, etc., but for crying out loud, everything in its proper place. I don't hate hunters or our food supply Sheesh.

LOL. Right, Kate's appearance was summed-up by Sarah awesome Dad..."she started bitching from the time she got off the plane"...lol. I felt for the kids. They were having a good time. Too bad their father, Jon, wasn't the parent accompanying them to the Palins.

My GREATEST childhood experiences (not directly with my family) were of being a Boy Scout of America. I loved being a Scout... loved learning the millions of things that make a man a better... man. Our motto... BE PREPARED... and I have honored that motto my entire life. GOD bless the Scouts! Sarah and the Scouts have the same enemies... both are attacked by the left for the same reasons... hmmmmm.

Interesting! You are right! Now that I stop to think about it, Sarah's enemies, along with the Boy Scouts are everything that was GOOD about America until the homosexuals got their agenda into mainstream America and the libtards started in with their anti-God, anti-flag and anti-smalltown America, which included, family, guns, self-support and charity to others. Their assualts have taken root within the LSM, but not with the good American people and I still think there's more of us, than them. November gave us proof and hope of that.

Thanks very much for telling me. My sons were Cub and Boy Scouts, too. Be prepared. I remember that!

We’re a Scouting family too. Our sons are both Life Scouts, with the older one now writing up his Eagle project in parallel with his college applications. It’s a busy time around here! Scouting values and the skills of leadership, and self reliance will stand them both in good stead going forward. My husband and I have greatly enjoyed not only watching our sons growing up in the program, but also the companionship of many like-minded parents and their sons.

You know... none of my friends in Scouting turned out bad... none of them. “Some” of the others that I went to school with turned out fine but many of those had drug problems or never did much with their lives... like I said... Scouting builds a man... in many ways. I remember the oath to this day. Have a great day FRiend!

Hubby and I do not have TV reception, so we’ve never seen Sarah’s show. That’s why I don’t respond to these threads; I have nothing to say. But I do lurk.

Does anyone know if/when it’s going to be released on DVD? That’s how we watch the shows we like, by buying them. We’d love to support her with the purchase of the show, so we can see it, and to add it to our signed copies of her books.

One thing for certain: Kate Gosselin was WAY out of her comfort zone in Alaska. Good heavens! What a whining, spoiled, egocentric loser this woman is. Her resume is writing about her sextuplets and a set of twins, doing a reality TV show, and Dancing With The Stars. But, she's obviously never had much experience in the real world outside of Los Angeles, CA.

Really, Kate, what did you know about Alaska before you showed up with your brood? Alaska is like, you know, so big and undeveloped and natural.

Oh, dear. Camping? What — you go out in the wilderness where there are really nasty wild bears who will eat you and you carry icky guns and you cook your own food over a fire and you live in a tent? Kate wants go to the local Holiday Inn and watch satellite TV, where they have heat, running water, and indoor plumbing.

I thought she was going to have a coronary when she and Sarah visited with Sarah's dad and she saw all the stuffed animal trophies. Heck, he'd showed her kids the various animal parts and bones and skulls. Where’d they come from, Kate? Her reaction at the bear training course and on the gun range did not prepare her for the reality of the Alaskan bush (as noted by the lack of bug repellent).

Kate made a complete and total fool out of herself on the show. Her kids were getting into the outdoors, but all she could do was thinking of getting away to some cushy motel or hotel. She acted like a spoiled teenager and not a 35 year old woman with eight kids that she is.

There are a lot of men and women who wish they could experience Alaska with Todd and Sarah, and her TV viewership reflects it. It would probably be higher ratings if it was on one of the networks (fat chance of that). For Kate Gosselin, going to Alaska was a total disaster in more ways than one. Word is she might not be such a hot pick for reality TV after all.

GOD bless your Family... a true American Scouting family! You know... I am sitting here enjoying temps in South Mississippi in the mid teens... and remembering the best camping trip I ever had was in weather here like this. I remember we had an initiation bon fire... Troop leaders mixed coffee grounds into spaghetti etc... blind folded us and made us eat “worms and dirt”. It was all in good fun and they even ate some after the fact... just to show it was ok. Had to put our hands into a pan with brussels sprouts... as slimy eyeballs. Man I loved that weekend... and afterwards... during the rest of the weekend... I had earned and learned much... and I WAS ONE!

BTW, I remember one old timer that had to keep going to his truck... and taking a sip of some "medicine" he kept in the glove box... in a little silver hip flask... not in today's world... but then it was a different time and it was 13 degrees! :-)

Oh dear. The men, males in our party must "Buck-up or stay in the truck" like Sarah Palin once remarked.

I'm reminded of Margaret Thatcher's comment to GHW Bush in the first Gulf War:

"Remember, George, this is no time to go wobbly."
