Doggonit, Sarah Palin May Very Well be Jumping In
National Review ^ | 8-19-11 | Kathryn Jean Lopez

Posted on 08/19/2011 8:17:34 PM PDT by STARWISE

Is there any other conclusion after watching the Iowa video?

It is warm and inviting and part of the reintroduction that began with the Steve Bannon movie.

I have long thought that Governor Palin has been honestly trying to figure out the best use of the energy and attention — and anger! — that swirls around the name Sarah Palin.

And with this video, I think she just shared which way she is leaning.

Interesting. I’d never heard of the term, but I wonder how it applies to the Founders? Thomas Paine is the sole Founding Father that you mentioned.

RobbyS is following the communist pattern to a “T”.

I wonder if he even realizes it. He's got the liberal revisionist historical line down cold.

Hutchinson was against independence from Britain. Keep your leftist bilge to yourself!

I’m sure he does. And that he believes every lie told by the left.

Depends on what level you are talking about. We have literally thousands of public offices, and there is plenty of openings for people to win these offices even if they lack great means. In Europe, the parties are virtually closed corporations. You must be recruited by a party there. Virtually all countries are monarchial in spirit. Here in this country the voluntary spirit is alive and well. Not so in Europe: usually the people are willing to leave everything to the professionals. We are a republic, and republican government is hierarchial government, but our sense of hierarchy is very different from that of Europe.

Now that is funny. And not very conservative, I must say.

You are spewing revisionist history and calling you on it is VERY conservative.

The Library of America has a two-volume set that you might consult. It is called The Debate on the Constitution,” and it is a collections of writings and speeches Article and letters during the ratification campaign by the Federsalists and Anti-federalists. The latter opposed the Constitution as a threat to Liberty. You will find the collection of Amazon or e-bay pretty cheap.

Don’t have to swallow what the Left has to say about the Founders .Just recall they were Americans of the 18th century. Few of them were egalitarians. However, their thinking was generally very different from the thinking of their social counter parts in England.

You don't think the station management wouldn't make special allowances and put Mark and Bob on the air to get the scoop of the year? You betcha, they would.

My dream scenario is what somebody way up-thread suggested: That Palin call Mark and Bob on FRIDAY, announce then, and say "I made a promise to you and I'm keeping it, just like I'll keep my promises to the American people."

She'd be SHOWING, not telling, but SHOWING, how she honors promies, and also ... the excitement surrounding the Sept. 3 event would go off the charts, and the place would be mobbed by folks -- and if a bunch of donations hit Palin between a Friday annoucement (to keep her promise to M&B) and an official declaration Saturday, it would really boost the profound image and impact of the Sept. 3 event.

That's my favorite scenario! We can only wait and see what transpires! For the first time in a long time, this is kind of fun.

If that's what you're reading I'll pass.

You should try reading accurate history.

You are a deceitful poster that NEVER answers directly anything posted to you. That sends up screaming red flags.

What difference does it make if, over a few generations after their ancestors braved journeys to leave tyranny and oppression in Britain to begin life anew, struggle to provide their essentials here from scratch, and over that time that generation had worked, created, and inherited tangibles, and eventually some become solvent and successful in providing essential needs for the citizens .. soap, food, trade, businesses, etc.?

They had a common bond .. and they had integrity, determination, courage and virtuous goals.

They suffered, lost, and sacrificed so much for their intractable demand for freedom, loyalty to each other and their righteous vision .. one for which we now still find ourselves fighting.

Class warfare .. did you know that’s a totally a liberal mindset and tactic?

If you’re going to be considered credible on the subject, you need to refresh your history and factually acknowledge this great nation’s God-blessed beginnings.

Few of them were egalitarians

"We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness..."

What you are saying is that they lied when they wrote this.

Don't dodge answering either.

You’re delusional. Show me any concrete evidence that Sarah Palin has a snowball’s chance in hell of winning enough swing votes to beat Obama, and I will listen.

I’m not “afraid” of Palin. I’m afraid of a Goldwater-esque loss that would neuter the conservative movement for decades.

Go walk down the street and ask random people about Palin. Report the results.
