A facebook note from a man who knows what is really going on.

One of my friends posted this as a note. I couldn't help but pass it along. It's really self explainitory and if you don't get it...well...you should be shot.

It reads as follows:

"Sarah Palin is worse for this country than global warming, Al Queda, and Hurricane Katrina- combined! And I refuse to be guilted into thinking otherwise. A dear friend (R-Moritz) sent me a note the other day telling me that my facebook picture was in poor taste and that Sarah Palin was an exceptional woman and candidate. That I should be ashamed of myself for stooping to the level of the GOP by disparaging her good name."

First I laughed out loud. It stands to reason that the left must convince itself not to be “guilted” into thinking something. THINKING something. Some people use reason, some, apparently, emotions. Like guilt. Kudos, sir, for refusing to be “guilted” into thinking something. Since no one asked you to like her, approve of her, or vote for her anyway, I guess it was an easy answer to give. I award zero points to your self-impressed conscience. For all of the back and forth, one thing remains alarmingly unanswered. Between the public posts and the private messages, the above-quoted author has wasted over 3000 words—roughly the length of Sarah Palin’s address last night (34 minutes, give or take)—in defense of his frantic outbursts against Palin, her family, and anyone who wants a second look. Through it all, zero (0, as in one less than one) words have been spent explaining away the left’s central problem with Palin; there is a valid, truly reasonable (read: guilt-free) argument that, at the VERY least in terms of the public knowing what she’s about, what makes her tick, she’s more qualified for the Vice Presidency than Barack Obama is the Presidency. You simply can’t talk about her without talking about him. Because, as Sherrod Brown reminded us, they’re in this together! But not a single, solitary word. Pathetic. THAT just has to hurt. As for me, it again conjures up the sad, bitter cries of angry Democrats moaning, “We nominated the wrong person!” That’s ultimately what this is all about. Frustration. Anger. Disbelief at the recklessness and sheer, naked stupidity of Democrats. My first post about Sarah Palin listed, in abbreviated form, her considerable and impressive accomplishments during her short time in elected and public office.

For those who are unaware:Accomplishment:\ə-ˈkäm-plish-mənt, -ˈkəm-\Function: noun, Date:15th century1: the act of accomplishing : completion; 2: something that has been accomplished : achievement


Achievement. Completion. 3000 words wasted, calling her trashy, calling her daughter’s vagina a clown-car (hilarious…seriously, John Stewart should hear your stuff), claiming (without hyperbole) she is more dangerous than those responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans in New York, Pennsylvania, northern Virginia, Iraq, and elsewhere, and more dangerous than global warming (which, if we are to heed my friend’s warning, will literally destroy the planet…so…this one is particularly bad). Claiming righteous indignation that McCain would STOOP so low as to assume that women vote according to the vagina (which nobody claimed), that Clinton voters would never be so stupid as to cross over and vote for an anti-choice misogynist (nobody said they would). Plenty of passion, lots of style, but, in a troubling likeness to his party’s nominee, very little substance. Quite a shock to the mind unmoved in reason by the guilt-trips of others. Where’s his achievement? Where’s his completion? What, please tell us, WHAT….FOR GOD’S SAKE TELL US WHAT HAS HE DONE. SOMEONE. Explain to me why he wants to change politics in Washington, why he wants to clean up Washington, but couldn’t find the moral courage to sneeze back at the dirtiest, most corrupt, most entrenched, and least popular Democratic regime in the nation literally in his own home town! It’s not asking all that much, is it? What makes him able to (as in what shows us that he “can”) identify and challenge the status quo in Washington when he couldn’t, he wouldn’t challenge two of the most corrupt governors of his own state in recent American history. Say what you will about Marc Dann, at least the guy went after corrupt GOP bigwigs with passion. Meanwhile, Obama…did what? Now I know he co-authored legislation to retard nuclear proliferation. Again, very courageous. As we all know, stopping nuclear proliferation IS the third-rail of American politics (popular as nukes are amongst the “fokes”). And I know Harry Reid appointed him the point man on ethics rules the Ds were going to make anyway. The way he trumps it up, though, is sort of like Dad letting Jimmy hammer the last nail in Suzy’s dollhouse, and Jimmy claiming he’s a professional builder. But for all this, shall we say, shallow assumption that Sarah Palin is so grossly underqualified and Barack Obama so obviously qualified, there is NOTHING put forward that he has done with his time in office except plan his next campaign. So, upon what can we base our opinions of him?His standard, outdated, ultra-left agenda right out of Johnson's Great Society, of nationalizing health care, skyrocketing payroll taxes (without regard to how they will bankrupt small businesses), empowering teachers unions, heaping more crippling regulation on employers without regard to the consequences for employees, disparaging middle America and middle Americans, their religion, their beliefs and values, the very way they live their life? How much should we take that into account? His embarrassingly transparent political maneuvering on everything from campaign finance to wiretapping? How about the "world opinion" that will swell around his eloquence when he announces we're renegotiating trade deals that have taken decades to build and have required massive concessions on all sides? Since he hasn't authored any major legislation, can we resort to looking at his voting record? Should we take into account that he's the most liberal member of the United States Senate when we hear his claims of "post-partisan"? Should we ask where he's been in "forging consensus," as he likes to say? Should we assume he thinks "consensus" is a synonym for "present," or at least showing up? Really, what do we have?

"Obama could no more disown his pastor than he could his own grandmo..." ...oh...hold on... what? He did? Never mind. Cancel that.

His church? His pastor? His statements suggesting a sharp departure from the black-integrationist we all thought Obama was? His involvement with the Woods Fund of Chicago and his former fundraising buddy, Bill Ayers? I mean, if we really want to delve into the quirks of the Alaskan political scene, isn’t it equally appropriate to ask what it was about Ayers that attracted young Candidate Obama to his home? What exactly it was that Rezco did to make sure Obama got his posh new house? Hillary wanted to know…Can we ask him more questions about cocaine use and our concern about what kind of an example that would set, as a President, celebrity, and father? And you want to play “dirty politics,” as you put it? Well hell, that’s easy. Why don’t we talk about what his religion really is. Why is it, every time someone claims he’s a Muslim he so vigorously denies it? What does he have to be ashamed of? What did they really teach him in those madrassahs in Indonesia? Shouldn’t we be concerned at all about his friendship with a known, unapologetic domestic terrorist and his simultaneous ties to Islam? What about his girls? For a man who knows what it’s like to grow up without a father, does he really want to throw away the next eight years and let his daughters grow up fatherless? What kind of father does that? What about past affairs? This is a guy who couldn't stop himself from hitting on a superior in a professional environment...when else has he done it? He wouldn't let up! She told him it was inappropriate, but he kept chasing the skirt. Are we in for more embarrassing episodes with White House interns? And what kind of first lady will Michelle Obama really be, in as much as it appears nothing this country has done has given rise to her considerably high-expecting pride? Does she even like being an American? Never been proud of her country? And this will be the first lady! What about a million dollars in Obama campaign money to the fringe organization CSI (a parent of ACORN)? Is Obama trying to foster voter fraud for his own benefit? But, no. I honestly couldn’t care less about Jeremiah Wright and all that other crap. And my good friend, and the national press, and the bloggers alike, should all get some perspective, take some deep breaths, and do a little homework. Report news, not innuendo. Report facts, not made-up stories. Have some damned respect. People for public office should not have to provide paternity tests proving to the national media that they’re the parents of their own children merely because some pimple-faced dumbass blogging on DailyKos from his mother’s basement thought that Bristol Palin looked plump in a picture taken two years ago. I hope the above demonstrates how dreadfully easy, and dreadfully crass, "dirty politics" is. News flash: Sarah Palin is a right-wing conservative. My god…what will this country do? Yes, everybody, she is an orthodox ideologue. No one says she a maverick for her politics. That would be stupid, but it is equally stupid to assume that politics (and policy) are all that exist in public servants. We’re not electing laundry-lists of policies, contrary to what Mr. Quay would assert – if we were, nobody would know what the hell Barack Obama is all about at all! We’re electing individuals who have shown us by their words and/or deeds what they can do, and what they will do, with the reins of power (and the phrase "talk is cheap" comes to mind). Policy is a central ingredient. But there’s a reason we don’t elect think-tank presidents but we do elect generals and governors. And here is where she is a maverick. Those disputing that either don't speak English, can't comprehend the apolitical conception of leadership, or both. Of course, that analysis might be a little too sophisticated for those susceptible to be swayed by guilt. So on the other hand, keep it right up. You’re digging your own grave. And at the end of the day when you lose this election, your third in a row, putting a Republican in the White House for the eighth time in eleven tries, and you blankly stare around at the utter wreckage that is your party and wonder, HOW, HOW….HOW DID WE F*** THIS ONE UP?, you’ll remember my voice, among others, at the top of pit, asking, pleading with you to come back and reclaim the moral high ground. And you laughed, literally, out loud.

There was time when the worst thing we said about each other was that the other was stupid. Those were the good old days.

You didn’t disparage Sarah Palin’s good name, my friend, you dragged her daughter, her husband, and her entire family into your pit. Without regard to the implications of everything you said for your own guy. Without regard to decency. You have joined the sea of mindless devotees who accept no criticism, no comparison, no questions. Congratulations on your conversion. But for now you just sound like the bubble-gum chewing, faux-popular girl in high school who knows she’s too insecure to be kind, too unsure of her own to be open to others. And you know what? THAT’S funny.


What can I say...Screw the liberals...
