The battle over Sarah Palin and her family has nothing to do with what is right or wrong. All of the liberal left in this country (and many on the right) is “post-decency,” all in the name of power. Think about it, there are political hacks that make a complete career (20-30-40 years) as smear merchants. They are not condemned or ridiculed or run out of business. Instead, they are paid handsomely and rewarded with promotion. Why stop?
I’m sick of hearing people ask, “Is attacking Sarah Palin & her daughter right or wrong?” It can only be right or wrong if there are consequences for these actions. At this point, 43% +/- of America loves the hate filled vitriol about Sarah Palin. Barack Obama said, “I’ll fire anyone…” caught doing this. I’m not holding my breath.
This whole mess is indicative of our culture. How does a country police it’s own behavior and say, yes we have free speech, but I’m not going to buy, support, discuss, promote the cesspool of ideas and images that are trotted out in the name of free speech. There is no reasonable debate on free speech anymore. It has become the Puritans vs. Mongols that frame the debate.
I’m excited about the possiblity of a smart, tough, hockey mom, Vice President Palin asking the creepy, despicable people in this world, “What the sam hell is wrong with you? Snap out of it and act like a human being.” America can start feeling like we have a moral ocmpass again. America needs a mom now more than ever!
