• Attack on Palin and SarahPAC Misses the Mark

  March 30, 2013 at 12:47pm

  Palin has learned that she is going to be more effective promoting conservative political causes by being a non-candidate than she will be as a candidate, regardless of the office. This is because the liberal hit machine is going to make sure she never wins another election again. They think that will cause her to go away and they are very angry that it has not and will not.

  The libs are growing increasingly frustrated with Palin because she is so effective at just being Palin. The results of that are that she is very successful at assisting candidates with fund raising, name recognition and getting the conservative message out.

  Cruz is a classic example of this. I was in Texas during the Republican primary campaign last year and most of Texas didn’t know him and he was just an after thought when the campaign began. The so-called experts thought ex-jock and football analyst Craig James was going to be the ‘outsider’ who would make the most noise in the election.

  However, as Cruz readily admits, Palin endorsed him and the rest is history – Cruz is now a US Senator from Texas.

  Palin will continue to be effective in that manner for as long as she wants to be. Deal with it, libs, because she is not going to go away and there is nothing you can do about that!

• Man Charged With Slapping Baby on Flight and Using N-Word Now ‘No Longer Employed’

  I see this guy is from Hayden, Idaho, which was the epicenter of the Aryan Nations back in the day. Don’t know if he is connected to them in any way or if that explains his racist behavior but that’s the first thing that jumped to mind when I saw where he was from.

• An Inconvenient Polar Bear

  If the American population ever wakes up to all of the liberal lies, games, manipulations, cover-ups, denials, etc. they are going to be overwhelmed by the truth. The whole phony global warming/climate crisis thing is one of those issues that is going to stun them.

  The constant barrage of lies created and perpetuated by the libs in this country and in Europe about the complete non-issue that is global warming is absolutely in boggling. This story is yet another example of that.

  Excellent question, and one that will never be answered!

• ‘What Can I Say?’: Rubio Explains Now-Infamous Water Break During SOTU Response (Plus Interrupts Fox Interview for Second Drink)

  February 13, 2013 at 12:50pm

  In reply to Mike Benton.

  Mike Benton:

  Spot on about the stage management. Look at what happened to Jindal a couple of years ago and now look at this Rubio fiasco. Why didn’t the Republicans have him behind a podium, which is where the vast majority of speeches are given from. Or put him behind an ornate desk and let him sit behind it. All presidential addresses given from the Oval Office over the years have been with the president seated behind his desk, so it’s not like giving a speech from behind a desk is not ‘presidential’.

  In either case, there could be a glass of water readily available and all he would have to do is reach over, take a sip and set the glass back down – end of story and a non-issue. When you had to do what Rubio did, it looks like none of his ‘handlers’ has ever the slightest clue about how to present a party leader/potential presidential candidate. Or why didn’t Rubio himself make those decisions?

  But, they probably spent days agonizing over which tie he should wear. And therein lies the problem…

• Rand Paul Declares America Needs a ‘Spiritual Cleansing’ and ‘Revival’: ‘Something Really Depraved Is Rising in the Country’

  February 13, 2013 at 12:40pm

  In reply to SixthArmy.

  I think it’s too early to anoint anyone our next president but I do agree that he is probably now the early front runner, after Rubio’s performance last night – good speech, bad presentation – he cracked under the pressure big time. He ‘Jindal’d’ it.

  Paul, I suspect, is now going to get the majority of the tea party’s attention and deservedly so. My guess is that he and Jeb Bush (I really hate to have to say that) are going to be the front runners going into the early stages of the campaign two years from now.

  Time will tell.

  There have been not one but two major presidential speeches in the past three weeks and not one word was mentioned about Benghazi in either of them, let alone both of them. Just sayin’ …

• Irony: Idaho Lawmakers Mull Bill That Would Force Students to Read ‘Atlas Shrugged’

  February 8, 2013 at 12:34pm

  In reply to FunToBeHere.

  @FUNTOBEHERE:

  Excellent point.

  But, can you imagine the outrage from the teacher’s union and their membership! You’d have the NEA/AFT in that community in full force, you’d have the mainstream media all over it, etc. It would be a national news story overnight and they would beat that community, school and school board to a pulp.

  That book scares the libs more than any other book out there because it is now 56 years old yet still spot on in many respects regarding what is happening in the country today and the road we are on.

  That is the last thing the libs want their mindless minions to discover: how this is really going to turn out for them and that there is no endless supply of ‘entitlements’ for them.

  As things continue to go down hill, that book is going to become more and more popular as all of those people living in ignorant bliss now are finally forced to wake up to what is really going on. I would bet that book sells as many copies in the next 20 years as it has sold in the previous 56 years, and it won’t just be in the USA, it will be worldwide.

• Irony: Idaho Lawmakers Mull Bill That Would Force Students to Read ‘Atlas Shrugged’

  February 8, 2013 at 11:49am

  The way to introduce ‘Atlas Shrugged’ to high school students, imho, is to make it a year long honors class. That way it is not mandatory and those kids who want to tackle Atlas Shrugged over the course of their senior year can do so. That would give them enough time to read the book and understand it – and therein lies the problem.

  I have read it three times over the course of fifteen years and even the third time through I was discovering things in the book I did not notice the first two times. There is a LOT to think about in that book regarding a number of different subjects (not only philosophy but business operations and management, government and bureaucracy, interpersonal relationships, psychology, etc.). Most of that stuff is going to sail over the heads of 17-18 year old kids because to understand that book means being able to relate it to real world experiences of the reader. I know it would not have meant nearly as much to me at 17 as it did at 40, when I first read it.

  That means it would be ESSENTIAL to have someone teaching that class who understood the book himself/herself and could explain it to the kids as they worked their way through it. And since I doubt very seriously that there are many high school teachers who have ever read that book, let alone who would ‘get it’ such that they could (or would be willing to) teach it to teenagers, I doubt a high school class on the book would be successful or beneficial to the kids.
