Throwing The Book At Sarah Palin

It has been two years since the 2008 Presidential campaign has ended and a pressing question has finally been answered: What does Sarah Palin read? The question was asked of Palin by Katie Couric during the 08' campaign with John McCain. Palin admittedly didn't handle the question well and later confessed that she was "annoyed and insulted" by it. Barbara Walters dug up the infamous question again during a recent interview with Palin. What's more astonishing is the amount of reaction her response has generated-mainly from the left of course. Palin said she reads Chronicles of Narnia author C.S. Lewis for "inspiration".Joy Behar, that great political thinker from ABC's The View who mocks Palin relentlessly quipped "aren't those children's books"? Striking a similarly sarcastic tone was MSNBC commentator Richard Wolffe. While appearing on Chris Matthews show Harball dismissed Lewis as someone who "wrote a series of Children's books". The irony is those who make a living attacking the intellect of conservatives, have shown their own ignorance by dismissing one of the most prolific Christian writers of the past century. C.S. Lewis is a well respected writer with a great body of work which far exceeds "Narnia'. Then again, is it shocking that two flaming lefties wouldn't know a Christian writer? Perhaps not so much given the disdain that many on the left have for Christianity-which is evidenced by the consistent insults Behar has directed at Christians on The View and her own Joy Behar show on CNN Headline news.

Out of all the liberal madness comes a voice of reason. Wall Street Journal online's Michael Flaherty wrote an insightful response to this criticism(see link below). I see this reaction as nothing more than political opportunism from the left who never miss an opportunity to mock conservatives as stupid and uneducated. The unholy alliance between the liberal mainstream media and the entertainment left has endured for over thirty years since Gerald Ford was mocked as a klutz on Saturday Night live. The fact that so called respectable commentators even gave attention to such a mundane issue is revealing. I continue to be fascinated at PDS (Palin Derangement Syndrome). I don't think the left ever got over how she lampooned the chosen one Obama at the 2008 RNC convention. Her attacks on him were regarding his political accomplishments, the attacks on her are purely personal. Palin's resume includes Mayor, Regulator and Governor. Not bad for a woman who reads children's books.

In leftist icon Saul Alinky's book Rules for Radicals, he clearly outlines a strategy of mocking the opposition. I guess we know what the left is reading

The Legend Of The Unarmed White Man (Revised)

Image
The August 2014 shooting death of unarmed black teen Mike Brown in St. Louis by a white police officer and the subsequent decision by the grand jury not to indict has brought unrest to American Streets. The protestors feel that police are shooting and killing mostly unarmed black men at alarming rates. Many also believe that police interaction amongst white's is all together different due to the benefits of "white privilege". "If that had of been a white man..." is a common refrain from blacks when speaking of a negative experience with a white police officer. The media plays an integral role in these perceptions by continuously assaulting us with images of black victims and white perpetrators. In light of the Brown incident and other controversial shootings this year, the adjective attached to these perceived victims is "unarmed". The term is a staple in the lexicon of the American media which has painted a false sense of reality for millions of Ame

Uncovering A Gigantic Royal Scam

Image
The old saying "Too many chiefs and not enough Indians" is by modern standards politically incorrect. However there is a new phenomena that is could take its place. There seems to be too many Kings and Queens and not enough subjects. Peruse Facebook and one will see untold references to "Black Kings" and "Black Queens" which is intended to foster self esteem in the black community. What is wrong with this one may ask? It is built on a ridiculous premise, historical ignorance and grotesque revisionism. For starters, every culture at one time or another has been ruled by monarchs. So by this logic every Anglo British citizen is a King or a Queen since they still have a symbolic monarchy today. Kings and Queens are mere titles-not character traits. Monarchs were selected by either bloodline or bloody conquest. Some of the most dastardly rulers in history were Kings. King John, Herod, Leopold, Caligula are just a few-African rulers were hardly an exception. I

BP Crisis Brings Out Radical Left

Image
Once again the left, with the help of Jesse Jackson shows its ignorance of and hatred for capitalism. The BP crisis which began with the explosion of an offshore oil rig which resulted in a fire that killed 19 people. The pipe located one mile undersea began to spew oil into the gulf and has for over fifty days now. The Reverend has been for weeks calling for a boycott of BP. Now comes word that several BP stations have been vandalized. The fact that such vitriol and anger results from what was clearly a tragic accident is surely tragic in itself. Someone should explain to the reverend that oil companies exited the gas station business years ago. The stations are by and large owned by franchisees and independent operators who squeeze out razor thin margins on gasoline-hence the reason for the lottery tickets, potato chips and soft drinks that has become a staple of these often family owned businesses. To make matters worse, the Rev. Jackson stated that "the mom and pop stations a
