I was reading a sour post the other day regarding Sarah Palin's resigning from the Alaskan Governorship (yes, we have folks among freeperdom who want desperately to destroy the image of Sarah Palin, for whatever bias they hold). This will of course be probably the only seemingly legitimate negative toward Sarah. I thought about what she did and why, then it hit me that she did what real, honest people do when confronted with an openly rigged situation.
Imagine for a moment that Sarah is a Ladies basketball team, and when the game starts the referee calls appear somewhat biased, but the game is allowed to proceed. Then, as the score begins to mount higher for Sarah's team, the entire referee team and the officials table take an activist role in making imaginery faul calls, obvious incorrect calls on ball lost out of bounds plays, etc.
I would bet dollars to donuts that the average honest American would agree that the Sarah team shuld stop playing the game under such circumstances and leave the court until an honest officiating can be established. Now, we're not talking about one or two bad calls, we're talkin' the entire officiating circumstance!
IIRC, there was a situation in the news just a few years ago where a coach pulled his team from the game when the calls became obviously biased. Replay film proved the coach was correct in his assessment. So, I ask myself, given the unconscienable biased attack campaign that was negating the governor's ability to do the job for Alaska, what honest American would not agree that stepping out of the rigged game was the best course of action, especially given the way Alaskan governance has been unshackled/unassaulted since the object of the biased hate has left the game?
Of course there will be a few who will screetch that she quit, that you can't win if you quit. But I would remind obeservers of such accusations that allowing the screetchers to erase the truth of the hatred eliminating a fair competition is to at once give the hatred legitimacy. Piss on them. Let them screetch. Perhaps their tiny heads will explode when honest Americans elect Sarah Palin to be the Chief Executive for the faultering Republic. The servants of lies will have plenty of time to prattle on with their empty accusations once Sarah is sworn in. The sales of Tums and other antacids will skyrocket among the 'lieberal lieberati'.
God forgive me, but it will be fun to watch their lie driven self-absorption consuming them daily, as their rotten hearts ooze out for all the world to witness. When America ceases to appreciate genuine goodness, we are a lost people. Sarah is genuinely good.
I don’t know that that analogy would work for me. Sports teams don’t quit. We teach that to children as early as t-ball and kick-n-chase soccer. It’s an important lesson. I think what happened to her would be akin to a whistle blower (I’m not talking sensational here) harassed unmercifully because she did what she knew was right. I don’t know maybe that one isn’t perfect either. I completely understand what she did and agree with it. But the sports team analogy makes me think of someone who is a poor sport and doesn’t understand holding your head up and fighting on. That’s not Sara at all. JMO
