I bet you think Jews sacrificed Christian babies for their blood on passover too.

Palin is a "Modern day Charles Manson?" Isn't that a tiny bit over the top? Do you even know who Charlie Manson is? Your comment is laughable adn childish. Go away.

take away rigths.....

More likely a republican our right to fly with being strip searched GW took that away

Our right to talk on the phone without a warrentless wire tap GW again

Our right to vote well republicans are trying to go back to being a landowner for that

America was already in the wars before he took office. Fact checking is a great thing. (smiles)

Yep Sherry, check your facts. The US was not in Libya.

War on poverty - Johnson

War on drugs - Reagan

War on terror - everybody

really hard jsut like it is really hard to belevie anyone that preaches family values that has been married three times or any one that says country first and her husband is trying to help break alaska away

ELAINE; It's difficult to believe because there is not a thing Palin does that does not A. draw attention to herself and B. make money for herself.

She QUIT the governorship specifically because she found out it was actually hard work which is not for her and also the fact that she knew she could make millions with her ghost written books and ridiculous reality TV show. The woman clearly has dollar signs in her eyes and she is attempting to drum up attention for her next money making project, whatever that might be.

Beyond that, I am so tired of her wrapping herself up in the flag and questioning any liberals patriotism which she does endlessly. You know what they say "Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels."

Can you name a single accomplishment of hers??? If you can, great but I'm not aware of any.

Mrs. Palin has just informed me that what Ozzie posted is libelious and wants me to bring him to court to explain to the judge why he does not owe Mrs. Palin a huge damage settlement.

TIM

Telling LIES again.

I heard you were invited to a molestion party BUT you could not attend because there were no BOYS going to be there!

See, lies are never funny!

At least he "quit" to go for a higher postion. now Palin she did it for the money and the extended fame and the state is paying her lawyer bills from some of the stuff she did while in office

Wolf,

We shall see how much stuff will come out of the OBAMA Dictatorship in the coming years. AND the courts found that NOTHING she did while in office violated ANY laws.

You are just another OBAMAHEAD that will believe anything that comes out of this mans mouth because you have no brain of your own!

the courts have found nothing yet and the state is sueing to keep emails sercet even though they are cover under the freedom of info act.

You are another Palin tea party please move down here to FL and see what a tea party gov will do for you

Sorry to disappoint, Mark, but Obama served 3 terms in the Illinois Senate.

Like libs know anything about patriotism. Ha....just cowards.

served 14 years in the navy and did 4 cruise and 3 war crusies. Lost good people on one of them on the Cole. You? What have you down for your country today

Then WHY do you keep commenting on her! I am not afraid of DBAMA Just afraid of the debt and social problems he is getting us into with support of people like you!

Why do you point and laugh? Because you are just another liberal dupe!

Brad-672138

Like libs know anything about patriotism. Ha....just cowards.

Brad this is probably the stupidest thing I have ever seen in a post and God knows there are many stupid things said. I'm never an R or a D, or conservative versus liberal. You shame yourself by typing such trash.

And they did not report on Ed Schultz either.

When it comes to white American males, most could care less, she has a mouth and a vagina, SHE'S HOT! is their rally cry to support her.

What you've written is factual, but again, most Americans prefer fiction, and when it comes to President Obama, they'll accept anyone, over him.

you are a real piece of work, so you speak for the white male majority? it's little pricks like you that make me sick, if I could dig Reagan up and put him in charge I would, he doesnt have a vagina he just knew what he was doing, some thing our "half white" President is learning to do, I dont hate him, I hate his policies. pull your head out of your ass.

a bit of a technicality:

On October 10, 2008, the twelve-member Alaska Legislative Council voted unanimously to release, without endorsing, the Branchflower investigative report, which found Palin had violated the ethics law covering state executive employees.^[2] The Branchflower report did not recommend a criminal investigation or sanctions.^[3] Under Alaska law, the state's Personnel Board, not the Legislature, decides whether a Governor has violated the ethics laws.^[3] On November 3, 2008, the bi-partisan Alaska State Personnel Board released the findings of its own investigation which concluded that Palin did not violate any ethics laws

But isn't she sooo cute!? Andrea Mitchell has blasted Palin for a few years. Palin is not a big city girl, nor does she have an old woman jealousy like Mitchell. I thought that part of diversity was accepting other people's views. I'm a moderate and can see very clearly the views of the "progressive" left. Back in the 60s we called them rednecks...people who thought that their view was the ONLY correct one. I wouldn't vote for Palin, but I da*#ed sure wouldn't vote for Obama! I'm a veteran, and I endorse her ride. Isn't she a fine looking politician?

damn I bet she would look really nice in a wonder woman costume, I cant tell you what just went through my mind.

BikerMarine........Sarah Palin hijacked Rolling Thunder the same way Rolling Thunder hijacked Memorial Day

Memorial Day belongs to our war dead.

By God, BM you just made the most profound and accurate post I have read all weekend...

100% Correct.......Bravo BM......You care....

Semper Fi. I think that she brought more awareness to Rolling Thunder.

I believe BikerMarine is conveying that we should Honor Americas War Dead on Memorial Day, not a media whore or Rolling Thunder.....at least I hope so...that is how I feel as a Vietnam Vet.....

Maybe Palin might want to tour Joplin Mo. or Tuscaloosa, Al. and gain some serious credibility instead of prostituting herself like she did on Memorial Day weekend 2011......

I think that I should share some of my thoughts with you about our nation today, its condition and its relationship with the antagonists of western civilization particularly in the middle east.I believe that you and I live in the finest nation with the finest government (civil servant class) that has ever been designed by collective human thought. We are a young nation with its own unique problems but we have the resources, human and otherwise, to solve all of them in time. The two key behaviors that the American people must permit one another at this time in our history are civility and patience. Sooner or later these behaviors always lend themselves to understanding and convention.

In my estimation there are a number of reasons for the unfortunate decline in the overall quality of life in our country over the last 50 years. The conflict in Vietnam deeply divided and unsettled the American people. We were simply on the wrong side of a nationalist uprising regardless of the involvement by the communists. If Chiang Kai Shek had been a little less of a nationalist, if Ho Chi Minh had been a little less of a communist, if the wealthy and the powerful in the western world had been a little less inclined and eager to meddle in the internal affairs of another nation the entire fiasco in Vietnam likely would never have come about.

Conflict and conformity both will always inflict hardship on the growth and prosperity of a nation such as ours. Conflict destroys lives and when people are taught only to conform (as in our collective workplaces today) they do not create. They procreate but they do not create. At best conformity lends itself to apathy among a people. They become cogs in what seems a mindless purposeless machine. Input and output and from output input again. Conventional wisdom, you see, is not always the best wisdom.

Speaking from a domestic point of view Ronald Reagan was one of the most destructive forces to arrive on the scene in this country since the wealthy anarchists of the 1920s and the 1930s. Reagan assumed that because men and women in this country had become captains of industry they must be all knowing, all wise and capable of collective leadership in fulfilling the needs of our entire nation. This was an erroneous assumption on his part as history has shown us now that his notion of trickle down economics has not worked. It has not worked principally because it was never a reflection of the way that the American people have been led to believe over the generations. The American people have been tacitly lead (taught) to believe that if a person has more they should want more and it should be the other person who gives and not them. This is the way of wealth in this country even today. Furthermore the wealthy families in this country have shown time and again that they can hardly agree on the time of day. The only two things they do agree on are the taking of profit and the control of the thoughts and actions of their own minions. So much for this idea of collective leadership by the wealthy families of this nation. Collectively they want to rule but they are incapable of leading collectively.

It is a curiosity at this time in our history that so many of the republican mouth-pieces for the wealthy families seem to be desperately trying to legislate religious morality for our entire diverse nation of people. Morality belongs to the individual and each person develops their own sense of what is good and bad for them from the time they are born. No two persons are alike because the past of no two persons is the same. In most cultures somewhere along the line of a persons moral development religious values and convention become embedded. This is a good thing and usually leads to general convention in a society but for any one person or group to try to legislate religious morality to an entire diverse nation such as ours is foolishness at the outset. Personally I believe that the root of this argument is the maintenance of the status quo by maintaining division in the sentiments of the people and avoiding the real issues of the day. In short it is a profit making distraction for some among us on the grandest of scales.

Again, speaking from a domestic point of view George Bush Jr. was truly the bane of our nation. He did his best to bring Reagans deranged fantasy to life. He deregulated virtually everything and this put us all on the road to national suicide if we do not turn away soon enough. The very same thing happened in Vietnam in the 1940s and 1950s. A small handful of wealthy families were raping the Vietnamese people until the people decided they had had enough. The fantasy of the wealthy man all too often is the establishment of a "merchant class paradise" where the only laws that matter are those of a would be wealthy ruling class. The translation of this is feudalism for you and I. Feudalism demands the maintenance of private mercenary armies, associated peasantries and eternal conflict. The descent into feudalism always signals the death of any modern nation. Just looking at the Republican party itself today I do not see them as a separate party. Because the democratic ideal in this country is the ideological “mother tongue” I see the Republican party as an excrescence of the Democratic party. I see the constituents of this party as the self-serving anarchists among us. Still they are forced by popular will to accept the Democratic ideal even though I am sure that many of them would rather reject the concept altogether. Even a child understands the concept of Democracy: One man, one vote. One woman , one vote and our Republic is meant to reflect this idea even though historically it has not always done so thanks for the most part to the self-serving anarchists who have always been among us.

Capitalism and commerce in general at this point in history are good things as long as they are regulated for the good of all the people. Personally I would prefer Nationalism over Feudalism because I refuse to be someone elses peasant. For nearly a century now all too many of our wealthy ruling class in this country have done their best to dismantle our unions (believing it is their God given right to ignore the health and well being of their employees), destroy our middle class and of late neglect our educational systems as much as possible. These tactics are not new ones but very old in their origin. They are all based around the idea of feudalism. Too many of these families reason thusly: “Why should we defer to the worker in our employment when we enjoy God given good fortune and should not be compelled to share this with anyone else even with respect to the health and longevity of the workers in our workplace?” Many of these persons and families feel that unions are in defiance of their authority with this line of reasoning. “Why do we need a middle class to protect us from the peasantry we have been cultivating and abusing all along the way when we now have the worlds largest and most heavily armed police and armed forces to protect us from any uprising on the part of the peasantry in this country?.” This line of reasoning on the part of many of our wealthy families stems from guilt and fear over the sure knowledge that they have taken liberty with the poor and working of this country often beyond any reasonable boundary. “Why do we need a progressive educational system with integrity in this nation when an educated peasantry would be a danger to us?” This last line of thought lies at the very root of feudalism: ignorance of the masses.

All of these lines of query and reasoning lie at the very heart of the feudal mentality and this is a mentality that the American people must overcome if we are to survive and progress as a nation. For the last 30 years we have seen that the wealth of this nation have had the best of both worlds. They have pursued a program of less and less pay for the American worker and investment in low paying sweat shops in other nations with whatever profits they generate here. This has been not only a betrayal of the American people but the peoples of other nations as well. This will all lead to a severe decline in the quality of life in our country for the people as a whole and will only keep the peoples of other nations in despair. The term “wealthy ruling class” is not without meaning especially in these times. Especially it is a clear statement of many of these families intentions. These are people who have wedged themselves between the American citizen and their government. This is a most unfortunate circumstance which should be remedied as soon as possible. I am not concerned with the products of human conception such as “private property”. I am concerned with the human condition. Most of all with the condition of my own citizens.

I am a Nationalist. I am most closely an FDR Democrat. I believe in the collective voice of the citizen. I do not subscribe to the paradigm of left wing or right wing seeing this as only another means of dividing the people. Why divide and conquer when you can divide and control? I believe only in fair and just order to a society and that anything less is only dissarray and anarchy. I am one who believes in limited but effective government.This seperates me from the anarchist on Wall Street who in reality believes in no national government at all. I believe in a strong but compact and specialized military and intelligence community. I believe that in these times we need more of an intelligence community and less of an armed forces. I believe in strong unions in this country though I question the need for unions in the government workplace (because I assume the basic goodness of government to begin with). Unions should and must exist in the private sector of this country to guard against the excesses and opportunistic inclinations and behavior of the merchant class as a whole. I believe in strong and healthy religious institutions in this country. These institutions do a great service to the collective spirit of the American people. I believe that too many of our representatives today lie in bed with our captains of industry and too many of our wealthy armaments families presently lie in bed with any number of our generals and this must all end as soon as possible. President Eisenhower himself warned us about these things decades ago. We do not need communism in this country because unlike the Russia and China of old our religious institutions are not wrapped around the finger of our government. Our religious institutions serve the people more than they serve the government. The sum of all of this then is that I believe in a dynamic society whose internal institutions have integrity and are balanced for the good of all of its citizens.

The reemergence of Islam and its extremist elements on the world scene today will likely continue to be a problem for the civilized world for some good time to come (perhaps as much as 50 to 100 years into the future). Surely between Judeo-Christianity and Islam there is a conflict of culture which has already shown itself as persistent. Lately we are witnessing the birth of nations in the cradle of Islam though.We are witnessing millions of young Muslims demanding societies based on Democratic ideals and this is a wonderful thing. We must be vigilant though. We must guard ourselves internally, hold to our own beliefs and maintain an iron clad intelligence gathering capacity around the middle-east particularly. These things can be done cost effectively with very little military intervention. I believe in more eyes and ears and fewer boots on the ground. We need to tend to our own internal affairs as a nation. I myself am a Democratic Republican in the strictest sense. I believe in the ideal of Democracy first and then the Republic I believe that a Republic can be as any people would have it so long as the ideal of Democracy is held as its precursor. I am Judeo-Christian because these modern times demand it and really the times always have. One without the other in these times would be weakened and without context knowing that too many of the opponents of western civilization perceive the Jew and the Christian as one and the same anyway. Now more than at any other time in history the Jew and the Christian must stand together as one. Most of all though I say these things because the great dynamics between Judaism and Christianity are what have given us the wonderful effects of western civilization that we have today. To be sure the Oriental mind, the Persian, Arab and many, many others have contributed along the way but for the most part it has been the Jew and the Christian who have brought everything together and given us the wonderful western civilization we understand today. There is hope but more than this we must have determination in our efforts. We must be vigilant, without promiscuity in our thoughts and willing to work together side by side at all times to see to the needs of our collective future in western civilization.

These are some of my thoughts today about our nation, its people and the problems we face.Thank you for considering them.
