“Look what they did to Sarah Palin- a person in no way very conservative, just the wrong kind of person.”

Funny. She has become the Obi Wan Kenobi of American politics. “If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.” Her star has taken a completely different trajectory than the One’s the past year. Slowly, those that sneered at her are waking up to the fact that the dolt is in fact one smart cookie and every attempt to belittle her has backfired. To their dismay she only seems to be gaining strength politically. No, she isn’t very conservative, but she is conservative enough. She is more of the right kind of person than she is the wrong kind. Right now, it is more than even money that should she run she will be the Republican nominee, and her odds of becoming #45 grow stronger with each day.

I am always amused over the talk of civil war in US. Pray tell, over what issue is the nation going to be divided asunder and cause brother to take up arms against brother? Yeah, there might be rioting in the streets, but civil war? Unlikely. Plus the Left knows they would be crushed by the Right in a fortnight, if not quicker, if it can to a contest of arms.
