SARAH PALIN: America's Enduring Strength

Capehart: Sarah Palin doesn't get it
Sarah Palin has emerged from the protective cloak of Twitter and e-mails to Glenn Beck to speak directly to the American People about the tragedy in Tucson. In a video, she expresses condolences for the Victims' families and concern for those recovering from Saturday's horrific events. But for nearly eight defensive minutes, the woman who has been at the center of a stormy national debate over our super-heated political discourse does her best to absolve herself of any role in that discourse. ...

Mark Levins Lawsuit Threat
For all the rage that Talk Radio broadcasts at the outside world, never forget how much its leading figures hate each other. Rush Limbaugh dismisses Bill O’Reilly as “Ted Baxter”: a pompous, ignorant blowhard. Sean Hannity resents and fears the upstart Glenn Back. Mark Levin seethes at his own under-appreciation. It bothers him that the so-called smart people don’t take seriously his Liberty and Tyranny. It vexes him that he does not receive appropriate credit for being...

Reject, Dont Participate in Big Lie About Arizona Shooting
“Never mind, they’ll swallow it,” said Stalin, the 20th Century’s first successful progenitor of the Big Lie. The suppression of the facts is by no means the most dangerous aspect of any Big Lie. After all, facts don’t go away even amid efforts to suppress them. All sorts of inconsistencies, impossibilities and clues remain behind, and sometimes in plain sight, for anyone who cares to look. The real threat the Big Lie poses to society comes when it is not stopped in...

Success. The left retreats
Sometimes you have to punch a bully in the nose to stop his Bullying. I know - violent Rhetoric. That’s a bad thing. Some Democrat sheriff will now blame me for the next schoolyard scuffle. I, and other Conservatives, have sat idly by for years, turning the other cheek, after hearing the most vile attacks on George W. Bush, Sarah Palin and others. You’ve heard them. Calling Bob McDonnell “Taliban Bob” - I don’t have enough time to go into everything the...

   In the wake of the shooting by Jared Loughner in Tucson last week, there was criticism directed against the harsh Rhetoric of those on the right-wing.

Palin Sitting Down With Hannity For First Interview Since Arizona Shooting
Sarah Palin will sit down Monday with fellow Fox pundit and notorious softball lobber Sean Hannity, according to the New York Times, for her first interview since wading into the debate over the Tucson shooting. Palin's decision to do her first post-Tucson interview on Fox News isn't too surprising given that she's a paid Fox contributor who's often expressed disdain for the so-called 'lamestream media.' But Hannity's show in particular should provide her with a very friendly setting to speak ...

Tucson Tea Party Co-Founder Blames Giffords For Getting Shot; Says Tea Party Is Also Shooting Victim
Trent Humphries, co-founder of the Tucson Tea Party, says if Gabrielle had security concerns she should have protected herself and not appeared without better security at an open event. (via Raw Story) The Arizona congresswoman shouldn’t have attended an event “in full view of the public” if she had security concerns, according to Tucson Tea Party co-founder Trent Humphries. Humphries told The Guardian, “We’re Victims, too,” worried that the fall-out from the ...

"Right now, each side in that debate passionately believes that the other side is wrong."
"And it’s all right for them to say that. What’s not acceptable is the kind of violence and eliminationist Rhetoric encouraging violence that has become all too common these past two years." Writes Paul Krugman, Manufacturing a phony problem. It’s not enough to appeal to the better angels of our nature. We need to have leaders of both parties — or Mr. Obama alone if necessary — declare that both violence and any language hinting at the acceptability of violence ar...

No words can fill the hole left by the death of an innocent, but we do mourn for the victims’ families as we express our sympathy.  I agree with the sentiments shared yesterday at the beautiful Catholic mass held in hono...

Sarah Palin Refudiates Sarah Palin
Everyone's all aflush with talk of Sarah Palin's invocation of "blood Libel," so this section of her prepared statement probably isn't getting the attention it deserves: President Reagan said, "We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions." Acts of monstrous criminality stand on their own. They begin and end with the criminals who commit them, ...

Lest We Forget the Past Two Years
Samuel Adams, writing in a letter to James Warren in February of 1779, said, “If virtue and knowledge are diffused among the people, they will never be enslaved.” Our nation needs to heed these words and continue to remain informed and engaged. The tragedy of the Arizona shootings by a sick human being has provided Mr. Obama and his supporters a wall shielding the past two years of abusing power and ignoring the will of the people.  A call for Civil Discourse is no more than code for R
