What the cannon fodder slaves at the bottom of the Leftist alliance’s hierarchy think and do are pretty predictable and not worth mentioning.

It’s the leaders, the power brokers, and the cultural elitists that have the plans and the money to carry them through, that have the reactions worth telling.

The COmmunists famously just told their cannon fodder to believe whatever they were told. It happened to be that when Russia was allied with Germany, the Russian citizens were told to love Germany and hate English and the Americans. When Russia went to war against Russia, suddenly it all flipped around and nobody ever mentioned that it had been any other way.

So the beliefs, the emotions, and the thoughts of the cannon fodder aren’t worth much. They will do and believe, whatever they are told to do and believe.

I am an old, crotchety, pedantic nitpicker who commented during cocktail hour. No criticism intended. My apologies.

(While they’re at it, they might also try to find Obama’s birth certificate. I mean the real one, not the recent fake that Soros paid for.)

Dear M J R,

The vilification of Quayle has sunk into the American psyche. Read this and then comment, Please,

Even before reading the linked material, I tended to agree (“sunk into the American psyche”). I clicked the link, was treated to a trip back in time two-plus decades, and learned a little as well.

I still agree.

But I am not of the impression that what they did to Quayle, ongoing and vicious as it was (and I do remember it reasonably well * ), was as extreme and thoroughly pathological and ^lunatic^ as what I see happening to Sarah Palin today.

Just my humble “o”, and do be reminded, my opinion may be worth exactly what you’re paying for it { smile }.

* I remember vividly one co-worker who, it seemed every day, had a new Dan Quayle joke to tell. It occurred to me that for all their vaunted superiority of intellect, these leftie bozos reveled in telling what amounted to mere variants of the ^same^ ^joke^ day-in-day-out, laughing uproariously every time they heard it, as though it was anything new and funny. Morons.

What gives and will give this apparently political contest its particular vitriol and intractability is its religious aspect, and that is a conflict between two parties who can’t recognize themselves as religious.

The republican elite are scared of her, too. No one wants their apple cart upset. She has shown she is for the individual. She’ll go after everyone who needs going after.

Keep in mind that she ran for governor on a platform of rooting out Republican corruption and breaking up the “old boy network” in that party.

I’ll wager there are lots of Republican elites who are having trouble sleeping nights, thinking about the prospect of a Palin presidency.

Sarahcuda doesn’t know her place. What’s more, she knows who she is, she approves of who she is, and she fights back. That latter, I suggest, is what underlies the ongoing two-minute hate for her.

Dan Quayle knew his place, or at least acted as though he did. He knew he was a mediocre student [he admitted it at least once], and he was embarrased that “they” were brighter. Also, he was Vice President (or a candidate for same), and did want to act with the dignity one might associate with the office.

The George Bushes knew their place, or at least acted as though they did. At some level they accepted the premises of the so-called progressives, and seemed to want to build a bridge to them (George Bush 41 especially — “kinder, gentler”). They hated both — and they did not want to compromise the dignity of their offices. They never fought back.

Ronald Reagan laughed them off, and went on being his genial self. They hated him, too, but they were merely shadow-boxing when it came to the Gipper.

Sarahcuda is in-your-face, when she isn’t being in-your-####ing-face. She’s actively fighting back. She’s mad as hell and isn’t about to take it sitting down.

What I’m getting around to, is the insane, totally irrational hatred of the left for Sarah Palin is ^reactionary^ in nature — not reactionary as in someone far to the political right, but reactionary in the sense that they’re reacting to her fighting back, with a vehemence hard to parallel in my lifetime, at least.

They’ve never had anyone fight back before, and hell hath no fury like progressives who are not accustomed to their pure hearts and motives being bowed down to reverently. No, Sarah is not impressed with their purity of heart and motive in the least, and they simply can’t process the new relative positioning. They hate with furious passion what they, for all their supposed intellectual superiority, can’t begin to comprehend.

Time to end the rant. Just thought I’d get it out, even if it’s at the end of the Comments section . . .

As for Palin:
Meh. I don’t really care about her either way and I don’t think they will find much in those emails.
