Yes, actually, elites are, by definition, more special, important, and knowledgeable than the rest of you. I’m guessing that you have little to no knowledge of macroeconomics or global trade policy. Neither does Sarah Palin. But if our country is to succeed, we do need educated ‘elites’ to help it succeed. Otherwise we’re just a bunch of monkeys howling at the moon.

You know who also resented (and eliminated) the elites? Pol Pot.

just go away. you have no idea what the “right” is or truly believes in. you are a blight on the Pajamas site

If you don’t know who Wal-Mart shoppers are then you’ll begin to understand how limited your world view is from the ivory tower and why Republicans lost their butts in 2006 and 2008. We don’t care if Republicans win in 2010 or 2012, we are concerned that common sense penetrates the beltway.

Unlike you I am willing, like Dr. Hanson, whose vision and clarity you could try better to emulate, to give Palin the opportunity to demonstrate her ability to grow and to speak more in depth about the issues of our time. I am not looking so much for ponderous prose as I am authentic and genuine truthfulness. I know your cynicism will not entertain the possibility that either value still has a place in American politics, but if they don’t, then America will go into the dark even more quickly than the path Washington goons have us on now.

Whether Sarah Palin is of Presidential material, we do not know. Her first book was designed to set the record straight. It was about her being blocked by McCain staffers from being who she is and making her values and opinions known. She is introducing herself in her book. She proclaiming her “log cabin roots.”

Going Rogue was the McCain staffer’s phrase for Sarah standing up for herself and disagreeing with their campaign strategy. McCain’s campaign was joke and she knew it.

As her father said, “Sarah isn’t quitting; she’s reloading.” This book is just her first gun blast at her opponents on the Left and Right elitist circuit. Sarah is not going away; nor is this her last book. The 2010 elections loom ahead where she will be prominent in defending her selected candidates. Many speeches and interviews will be made. People who have misjudged her will get a chance to recognize their error.

Obama is a candidate’s dream. He is creating enormous chaos and anger which she can respond to.

One asset, that Sarah has, is to cut through to the meat of the matter, as she did with the phrase “Death Panels.” She has what every American politicians wishes they could have, “The common touch.” Since the elitists pundits on the Left and Right hate the Common American, they will despise and demean her.

“Go for it, Elitists! And you will destroy yourselves in the process. ”

According to the Battleground poll, which has been asking the same questions with little variation in the results for twenty years, 60% of Americans call themselves Conservative or very Conservative. There are many reasons for why they do not vote Republican.

But, these Conservatives need someone they can unite behind. The person is Sarah Palin whether she chooses to run for political office or not.

Socialists own the means of production and all the resources,using same as they see fit, benevolent highminded keeprs of the flame.

In Alaska, as in most western states, the state received title to the resources lying beneath state public lands, under a covenant which reqires that they allow the private sector to develop and use these resources in exchange for a cut of the take, e.g. royalties! Nothing at all socialistic about that arrangement to anyone with a simple understanding of mineral rights laws. Texas, Colorado, Utah, et al. all do the same thing.

Alaska is unique only in the the scope of its resources versus the number of people who live there.

And I vividly remember the abuse heaped on not just Candidate Reagan but his wife and family, so I remember all the fair weather conservatives who didn’t “cowboy up” for him. Very few people want to hear the truth especially if it’s unpleasant. As Jack Nickelson once said in the movie A Few Good Men- “You can’t handle the truth.”

So if Ms Palin who is as real as they come scares you, maybe it’s time to do some political soul searching and find out which part of the RINO your riding.

Watch out for those horns. Just a friendly tip.

Basically, Mr. Moran, you sound like a member of the MSM, scared to death that someone is conservative and popular regardless of what you, obviously superior in your own mind, think of her.

Hmm, how can this possibly be? I’m so confused. Oh well, no matter, I just love her, don’t you? She’s so cute and winky and real. Heckster, I stood out in freezing rain for 46 hours straight just to get her to sign my book. She didn’t, but that’s OK cuz I think she’s just so neat. I really do. All that socialism stuff, well, I don’t really know wht it means anyway. And who cares? I mean, when Sarah palin is president she’s gonna make everything clean and bright and extra white all over, just like it is in Alaska. It will be oodles of Christian fun. Just like Jesus Camp but for adults. Oh, Hosannah . . . I do believe I’m gonna start . . . yes, I can feel it . . . haddaa-ba-da-kaleeem-a banda-ska . . . . hoodoo-shono-plasticum-oderono . . .

Your fear is palpable.
