Here endeth the lesson.
Palin ideology did not change. She was fighting establishment gop throughout her career, who practice crony capitalism.
Reagan or bust!
The Jews wait for the messiah and true conservatives wait for Reagan to rise.
I have a new tagline
I’m a conservative with some libertarian tendancies...
...but those Libertarians who start marching around and pamphleteering over things like government-funded paved roads, water, and sewage services crack me up!
Palin has always been for the roads and sewage. What turned Palin off was the new toys the local gov wanted to build. Like a new city hall etc. Palin believes that gov should stick to the fundementals of what it needs to do.
If running with Juan was fighting the establishment and was against crony capitalism even after Juan and she endorsed green renewable energy . I have a question for you, how do you get out of one of those straight jackets, you seem to have experience with them.
Was it spiked?
Please deign to tell us your perfect presidential candidate. We’re all ears.
However, the person with the best chance to win, at the moment, with the lowest negatives. Is Bachmann, the biggest lead in the polls is your friend Mr Trump.
Palin to Maddow: "Can you get me a Diet Coke?" Andrea Mitchell looks on.
Andrea Mitchell is a seriously unsympathetic character. She’s clearly obsessed and very bitter.
Rachel Maddow is apparently the victim of gender reassignment at birth due to a botched circumcision. She has an Adam’s Apple. I’d be somewhat sympathetic to her plight if she weren’t such a spiteful leftist nutbag.
Nothing wrong with renewable energy. I had a neighbor once who asked me what I would think if it turned out his then company, Amoco, came up with an energy source that every citizen could own and operate out of their home, with no utility distribution system. I said I thought that would be great. I never heard anything ever come of it, though, and thats the point. Palin takes an all-of-the-above position. Anywhere we can get energy we ought to be considering, and energy with a small environmental footprint is great, if you can get it. Meanwhile, we have an energy-hungry economy, and Palin knows that and would aggressively pursue policy that would enhance our economy’s ability to grow by supplying cheap energy through an abundance of sources, whatever works.
Thus, to infer that just because she thinks renewable energy is worthy of exploration she is therefore a warm-earther is an unwarranted leap to a false conclusion, as it is an unsupportable conflation of two very different things. Eco-nazism uses greenism as a path to statism. That does not describe Palins position at all. Whereas a comprehensive energy policy that looks at everything, whether fossil, nuclear, renewable, or otherwise, but is focused on lifting the American economy on free-market principles, is a validly conservative position because it is a path to greater private-sector prosperity and liberty. And as I know from listening that latter view is Palin’s position, I therefore find her to be consistent in her conservatism even in this.
Toshiba Builds Ultra-Small Nuclear Reactor
“Toshiba has developed a new class of micro size Nuclear Reactors that is designed to power individual apartment buildings or city blocks. The new reactor, which is only 20 feet by 6 feet, could change everything for small remote communities, small businesses or even a group of neighbors who are fed up with the power companies and want more control over their energy needs.”
