From Shotgun Life

By IRWIN GREENSTEIN

In the shadow of Capitol Hill, a forgotten patriot consigned to America’s trash heap of the unemployed has created a new national symbol that celebrates the values Sarah Palin holds true.

A man who goes only by the name of Dale has cast Sarah Palin as the lost daughter of the World War II heroine, Rosie the Riveter – but with a twist.

Norman Rockwell’s classic 1943 Saturday Evening Post cover of Rosie shows a rivet gun in the lap of our plucky aircraft assembly-line worker during her lunch break. Dale has replaced it with a Remington 870 pump shotgun.

Dale explained in an email to us…

I replaced Rosie’s rivet gun with a Remington 870 12 gauge pump action shotgun, affectionately known as a “street sweeper” by law enforcement and military users. This classic weapon has a proud history for the defense minded everywhere and to my mind exemplified Palin’s unflagging support for our second amendment rights and preparedness to clean up the country while defending against all enemies foreign and domestic. A call to vigilance, not violence.

I would never want to sit through three hours of policy without a single jab at little Barry Marx Alinsky and his band of incorrigible, wrinkled children. I crave the brilliant, biting wit and fluid delivery of unbridled truth, whether in annunciation of the obvious or through cold, calculating satire. He’s naturally flourished with this formula through two decades of a deliberate, McCainsian death ride. But the leadfoot lefties, thrusting rabidly on a malfunctioning Toyota throttle, have altered the course of history such that Professor Fuzzball had better shift gears.

Analysis of what the bad guys are doing and how they’re doing it is indeed invaluable to a laissez faire renaissance. But we’ve reached a point of saturation. After so many hours perusing the AM dial and Channel Rupert, never mind Facebook, all the clever rants and insights get reduced to mere whining. What’s worse, the apparent light of salvation shines a full two seasons down the tunnel, as superficial November projections overshadow the more crucial spring primaries, when the country could already be won or lost.

Let’s assume this Health Control travesty gets squashed by a re-constitutionalized judiciary. Then what? If the right candidates aren’t on the fall tickets, it won’t matter if enough seats change letters to shut it down for two years to setup a super majority in 2012. While it was fun to see a group of incumbents flex their jaws at our would-be dictator, let’s keep a little perspective in acknowledging that resistance to the granddaddy of entitlement legislation doesn’t exactly warrant that much political spine.

Barack Obama asked the Dems to help him save his Presidency by voting for his healthcare bill. Really? Is there an impeachment underway? America will be far too busy trying to save the country from bankruptcy to worry about Obama’s next two years in office. With amnesty looming on the horizon, isn’t it more about prepping voters for his second term come 2012?

Huge voting blocs exist today that can swing an election to one side or the other. Some of these communities are being birthed at this very moment, and it would be folly to ignore them in the elections of 2010 and 2012 respectively. What are they?  Let’s do the math.

Barack Obama has promised to take up the issue of illegal immigrants as his next order of business. If amnesty is on his mind, then the possibility of adding twelve million voters to the already powerful Latino bloc of voters is staggering. If amnesty is seriously considered, then there is little doubt that eight to twelve million votes will be cast for the person and the party that engineered the free citizenship pass.

Sarah Palin made the mistake of being a self-made woman who actually accomplished things in her own right instead of riding her husband’s coattails.  She worked next to her husband founding and managing a small business that continues to flourish.  She was active in local school and community affairs.  She ran for local office serving as a council person and eventually mayor of Wasilla, Alaska.  She took on several positions in the state government. She resigned a high office to battle the insiders who had run the state for years. Elected Governor, she was soon the most popular governor in America.   She accomplished all this without using a family fortune, marrying for money or buying her way into prominence.  She achieved position and influence the old fashioned way; she earned it.

As usual it was Rush Limbaugh leading the way.  He was the first political commentator with enough insight and courage to say what so many others were thinking, “I hope he fails.”  If you listen to his program you know that this was immediately and repeatedly expanded to explain that he was referring to the President’s policies.   He even clarified it further by saying, “Hey, I support the president.  I just don’t support his policies.”  He even went so far as to entitle the transcript that refers to these statements, “We Want the President’s Policies to Fail So Everyone Can Succeed.”  Some may still find this shocking; why would anyone hope a brand new president’s policies fail?  The original quote comes from an editorial Rush wrote on the Friday before the inauguration in which he said, “Folks, I do not want what Obama is doing to work.  I don’t want more socialism in America, I don’t want more liberalism.  Liberalism is what’s gotten us to the problems we have now.  Why would I want more of it?  I do not want him to succeed.”  That was way back in January when polls showed that 70% of the American public wanted the new president to succeed.  When many Republican officials eagerly lined up for a few moments of face time to parrot, “I want the president to succeed.”  They were saying the popular thing.  Rush had the courage to swim against the tide and proclaim, “I hope he fails.”

Governor Sarah Palin resigns effective July 26, 2009 after constant media scrutiny and being the butt of endless and tiring jokes, ridicule and intrusions into her family’s privacy what does this mean?

At a time when the media is still sucking news from the big wave of pop star Michael Jackson’s short and fiery life Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin announces her resignation. News sources are in a frenzy to define the implications of her resignation all the while ignoring the real question of their own bad behavior.

However dumb David Letterman considers Sarah Palin to be, I think it is safe to say that she would not have sat in the United Trinity Church for 20 years, mind you, listening to to the ravings of Jeremiah Wright without concluding she was listening to a tenth rate rabble rousing demagogue, a racist, a bigot, a hate-monger, an anti-Semite, an America-hater, and a marxist. She would have stood up and walked out unlike Barack Obama who sat there transfixed, approvingly attuned to a message that resonated within him.
