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.

Follow the Leaders: Rush, Glenn and Sarah

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.”

By Rev. MICHAEL BRESCIANI

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.

letterman

By PAUL SCHNEE

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.

Paul Schnee lives and works in West Hollywood, California. He is a self-confessed sceptic with more grey hair than anyone really needs or wants. He does not have a degree or any other paper manifestations of his abilitiy. Therefore, by the public standard he is unqualified to pass his opinions. Nevertheless, he does it because he thinks he is right and because his career does not depend on him being so! Blog: paulschnee.com
