God is Sarah Palin’s ‘Palm Pilot’

The following video demonstrates completely gullible some Americans are.  They actually buy this.  I sincerely wonder how long it took her to come up with this one.  Is this a God complex or can Sarah Palin really “pray away the gay”, and can she really compare herself to God? Perhaps she has merely found a comfort zone by offering excuses rather than owning up to what she’s being criticized for.

Alec Baldwin on Sarah Palin

I still believe in Barack Obama. Each new president since the end of the Vietnam War in 1975 has been faced with an ever-growing mountain of problems that resist solutions, let alone solutions crafted with bipartisan support. Energy, America’s dwindling role in the global economy, health care, terrorism and its impacts.

We may struggle for the remainder of our history to solve those problems and we may come up short. But we are doomed to failure if we choose another incurious, phony populist who pulls off some bad Will Rogers moves and calls that a presidency.

DADT Suspended — During Gulf War

Over the past quarter-century, since 1985, America has had seven Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And five of the seven now support gays serving openly in the military.

Yet, despite evidence to the contrary — and there is evidence — the Republican and religious-right wing wind machines are still blowing hot and hard, suggesting repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” will be the end of the U.S. military. Or worse.

Colonel Oliver (convicted felon, Nicaragua gun smuggler, and – surprise! Fox News contributor) North last week suggested repealing DADT would invite the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) into our Armed Forces. (I’m not quite sure how that would work, as you can’t be a minor and serve in the military, but perhaps as he was running guns in Iran to help fight the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, North got a little too chummy with Noriega and what he was selling?)

The stories coming via the Beck-Hannity-O’Reilly-Palin-North Network are just jam-packed full of shock and awe. At this point, one would not be surprised to hear from them that if “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” repeal were enacted, the sun would never rise again, and George Washington and Ronald Reagan would roll over in their graves.

What Kind of (Tea) Party Is It?

Well, according to LA Progressive:

The Tea Party lays claim to the post Obama election victories in New Jersey, Virginia, and, most recently, in Massachusetts, claiming that these victories are reflective of public disatisfaction. The inference is that they represent a groundswell that will only grow, leading into the mid-term Congressional elections.

The reality is that it is more a play in obstructionist politics. The Tea Party was no more than an attention grab. It was like a person who draws attention to themselves at the neighborhood block party by hoo-rawing. All the Tea Partiers said to the nation was, “Party over here!” There was nothing else of substance to speak of. No new ideas. Just a recast of old ones and an effort to stay relevant in the public discussion.

The question really is, “What kind of party is it?” One to advances the discussion on how we become a better nation? Or one that just makes noise so the party they truly represent doesn’t become irrelevant. The tea partiers come from a demoralized party trying recraft a message. It’s an old message of an anti-taxation, anti-spending, anti-abortion, anti-gay platform.

And in case you haven’t noticed, the leaders of this so called “movement” which I would consider to be that of the bowel, consists of Sarah Palin and Michele “B.S.C.” Bachmann. So that definitely measures up to the anti-abortion and anti-gay classification.
