When I was a kid the one of the worst things you could do was to be a quitter. If you said you were going to do something, you did it. If you didn’t you quit, which was shameful.
There have been many times when I looked at something I did not want to do, or did want to do, but looked impossible, and wanted to quit. Most of the time, because my parents drilled into me that one should not quit, I carried on. Most of the time I was happy that I did.
That is not to say that I never quit anything. I have, and most of the time I regretted it. Every human at some point has quit something that they knew in their hearts they should have continued with. And there is a big difference between quitting something because one simply should not be doing it, and quitting because one should do something but one simply does not want to continue. Life is full of tactical retreats. These retreats in fact are the sign of a shrewd thinker. Just as any poker player who consistently wins about such retreats. Playing a bad hand is just stupid, and costly.
Saying this Sarah Palin, is no winning poker player. She is a moderately bright, pretty, ideologue that lacks the understanding (from what I have seen) of the roots of her ideology. Plus she’s a quitter.
She quit her job as governor of Alaska, because Alaska was too far off the beaten path for the media she needed to further her career. For someone who lambastes the main stream media as she does she sure did everything she could to come to it. Despite the fact that she took an oath to serve the people of Alaska, she abandoned them for her own selfish ends.
There are some people who want her to become the GOP nominee for president. Chief among them Barrack Obama. She will be sliced and diced, because she is a total politician. Going rogue my ass.
She is the second worst kind of politician, dumb. The first worst of course being a smart politician.
She is held up by the mainstream media as the embodiment of the TEA Party. God help us.
As someone who has been a part of the TEA Party before Palin even heard of it, I will tell you that this movement is founded in Barry Goldwater conservatism, not the Bush conservatism that she seems to embrace. Truly the roots of the TEA Party are not conservative at all, but libertarian. She is no libertarian. This country NEEDS a president who is at least inclined toward libertarianism, though many conservatives don’t understand this yet.
We are at an inflection point in American history. We can go toward the light and renew our commitment to freedom and liberty, or continue down into a new dark age of statism and Newspeak.
We have a small window of opportunity to turn this train around. If Palin is the conductor we are sure to go off a cliff. You can count on it.
