Why Sarah Palin Is An Absolutely Useless, No-Talent Loser

"Let's not start believing that government is the answer," she told the largely affectionate crowd of about 5,000 at Pioneer Park. "It can't help make you healthy or wealthy or wise. What can? It is the wisdom of the people. . . . It is God's grace, helping those who help themselves."

Just how is it, in a democratic republic, that the government is not "the wisdom of the people?" Common sense is just not one of one-time Gov. Palin's strong points, is it? But that ol' "Prosperity Gospel" is.

"It should be so obvious to you," she said. "It is because I love Alaska this much, sir, that I feel that it is my duty to avoid the unproductive, typical politics-as-usual lame-duck session in one's last year in office. . . . I will be able to fight even harder for you, for what is right. And I have never felt that you need a title to do that."

If it were her duty, is she incapable of performing it? Is she so weak-willed that she couldn't have resisted the temptations of lame-duckery? Should any office-holder (And Ms. Wasilla, in politics one holds an "office," not a "title." At least try to learn that much about usage of our admittedly elitist English language.) who claims she won't be running again be removed from office the very day it's announced, to avoid the "politics as usual" of lame ducks? Perhaps the first move of her new-found freedom (And wealth. "Country First," you know.) will be in support of a Constitutional Amendment to remove any President the minute he or she is elected to a second term, to avoid lameness? Not to mention that many politicians (ones who, unlike Palin, aren't cowards) use their time as a lame-duck to accomplish things that wouldn't be possible were they seeking reëlection. But somehow Palin's going to "fight even harder for you," just not from a position of power, merely as a private loud-mouth.

... at the media, which she has blamed for distorting her statements and fueling controversies that have surrounded her. "You represent what could and should be a respected and honest profession, that could and should be a cornerstone of our democracy," she said. "Democracy depends on you, and that is why our troops are willing to die for you. So how about in honor of the American soldier you quit making things up?"

We can agree w/ that. The media certainly should honor the American soldier. It could start by not repeating lies that send our sacrificial lambs into trumped-up wars of aggression whose purpose is passing money from working Americans to the outstretched hands of the military-industrial-congressional complex. Not "making things up" about Sarah & her young goats"kids" would be a good idea too. Don't give her the coverage she desires. OK: Maverick-y enough? "Not politics as usual." Check. "Fire a last official grenade at the media?" Check. Blather about energy independence & strip-mining Alaska 'cause Gawd wants us to? Yep. What else is there? Oh, you betcha.

"Stiffen your spine to do what's right for Alaskans when the pressure mounts, because you're going to see anti-hunting . . . circuses from Hollywood . . . [who] use Alaska as a fundraising tool for their anti-2nd-Amendment causes," she said. "Stand tall, and remind them individual patriots will protect our right to bear arms," she said. "By the way, Hollywood needs to know: We eat, therefore we hunt."

"WE EAT, THEREFORE WE HUNT!" Twice as good as "Drill, baby, drill." Indeed, right up there w/ "Are we not men?" Final Note: The half-term Gov. uses "apologetics" as if it means, well, apologies. (That from the video actuality, not our cage-liner source.) Watch it if you can stand it.
