The Sarah Palin who returned to the GOP stage Thursday had no props, few Palinisms, and just a ghost of her former folksy twang. So what if there were still falsehoods? Palin 2016!
Failed reality television star and mistress of liberal America Sarah Palin is strutting out onstage at CPAC, clad in a white blazer and black skirt. She places her water bottle on the floor next to the podium and opens a binder.
A typical Palin speech usually involves props: Dr. Seuss books or Big Gulp sodas. This year, she has none.
A typical Palin speech is usually an incoherent string of Palinisms haphazardly strung together in her folksy twang. This year, she is subdued and barely has any accent at all.
What the hell is going on? Have the last six years of Palin’s public life just been performance art? Has she purposefully been lowering the bar for her public appearances so that she could come out and impress just ahead of Republican primary season?
Palin opens with a story about George Washington being “overcome with emotion” over America’s first veterans. She asks if America has lived up to Washington’s hope that veterans be treated well and notes the obvious: It hasn’t.
She speaks of her own experience as the mother of a soldier: “Moms can’t be there when they hurt. I could pray and I did and I do, but few things are more difficult than to kiss a child goodbye, off into harm’s way, knowing that you’re not going to be there to protect…Those first deployments, that’s when a mother goes from calling him son to calling him sir.”
The war on terror, Palin notes, is the longest in America’s history and has cost thousands of lives, and damaged many thousands more with PTSD and insufficient health care—or a complete lack of treatment: “They wait for months, they wait for years to get treatment at the VA…We demand that the vets are first in line!”
Palin pivots to foreign policy: “Did we actually win in Iraq and Afghanistan before we waved the white flag? The jury is still out.”
The rise of ISIS, Palin says, “It doesn’t look like victory…the Middle East is a tinderbox, and it is coming apart at the seams.”
Palin claims the rise of ISIS “was predictable. Military brass warned the left: Do not pull out without residual force…The rise of ISIS is the direct result of this administration’s refusal to heed that warning.”
The speech isn’t completely devoid of Palinisms, however—though compared to speeches past, they kind of make sense: “While Christians pray for you, radical Islamists want to cut off your head.”
And it isn’t lacking in falsehoods, either. Palin needles State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf for saying that “we cannot kill our way out of this war.”
“Oh, really?” Palin asks. “Tell that to the Nazis! Oh wait, you can’t—they’re dead!”
Some Nazis are very much alive and were, in fact, receiving Social Security payments from the United States government until late 2014, when President Obama signed into law a bill that banned them from continuing to collect.
But never mind that. Palin 2016!
Just like serving in ISIS doesn't mean you're a muzzie?
The good old Gehlen Organization.
Gotta agree with you, on that.
Big time.
May want to vaccuum Argentina for a few as well, propped on the beaches near their villas.
While still being as feminine and ladylike as any woman ever has been........and pretty and sexy to boot! AND a great (not perfect) mother!
What woman before her ever has had such an incredible combination of positive attributes?
I know of none......
Not me. Being a gentleman, I would court her ardently. With great hardness.
She’s something of a cunning stunt, though:

This Damned fool who wrote this dreck, the “NAZI regime is DEAD” Hitler punked out and suicided himself, there is no actual NAZI apparatus, no NAZI party, no more NAZI’s anymore....
There are still people alive who USED to be NAZIs, they don’t report to the NAZI party for marchign orders, well....maybe she means George Soros.....
What a pretty picture!
Love it
Not the same at all. Pope Benedict was forced into the Hitler Youth near the end of the war. You don’t think he’s a Nazi, do you? The people in ISIS are there because they want to be there. Many of the people in the German war machine had no choice or were merely normal patriotic citizens.
I’m sure after that last ‘performance’ Palin realized she had to apply herself more thoroughly. I suspect she was being closely scrutinized by many who, while still on her side, did not appreciate her more cavalier approach to speechmaking, whether a teleprompter had malfunctioned or not, she had to get more professional if wanting to maintain her top tier status. She will NOT be running though. Not during the Obama (MassHypnosis-ChronicRinoCowardice) regime.

this is like saying Reagan Failed to defeat the Soviet union because Gorby is still running around with his port wine birth makred head.... Damned putz
I disagree.
We shall see...
Read that before.
LOL
Your description is apt...
I sure do. If you work with evil, you ARE evil. I call BS on your "Good German" theory. Unless they were held in a concentration camp as a prisoner, if someone was so much as turning a wrench for the Nazi war machine, they deserved to die and die hard. FU Dresden!
Wow....
LOL
Many of those in the concentration camps were “turning wrenches” for the Nazis. Having never lived under a tyrannical regime (until recently) I hesitate to judge people who did.
“Olivia, you miserable slut” ala Dan Akroyd
Jane, you ignorant slut.
Dan, you pompous ass.
