My man-bike. A VTX 1800. Keep reading to discover its importance to this political discussion. Eat your heart out, Harley fans.
In the following post, the next one down, we make the argument Obama is a professional activist and THAT is his greatest qualification.
If you think about it, Sarah Palin, likewise, is an activist. She came out of her kitchen, literally, to do what she could to correct political ineffectiveness and corruption. And she has become one of the two or three strongest power brokers in American politics, today. I believe that we need her and her instincts at the activist level much more than we need her at the presidential level.
The presidency would be a demotion for the gracious Alaskan governor.
Look at the freedom she has where she is. Certainly, there is the Marxist criticisms of a very dangerous class of civilian/socialist leaders. But understand this, Sarah Palin has put herself into a position of power that escaped the clutches of Mr. Obama in his pre-presidential days. She has done what Obama, the activist for 25 years, did not and could not do, put herself into a position of irresistible political power without the benefit of national.
Score Palin One, Obama zero.
Let that soak in for just a minute or two. Why the illogical and obscene opposition to the Alaskan Governor? For the same reason many of us dislike and oppose Obama. She is successful, and powerful, and consistent. We might add on additional quality that may not be true for Mr. Obama, she is scandal free. Will we be able to say that for Barack, two years from now? I am thinking -- as I smile just a bit - "no."
Two years from now, if the TEA movement is able to help place a conservative in the White House, take back the Senate and maintain full control of the House, look at what can be done to the Progressive advances made under liberal leadership over the course of the past 20 years. This dismantling of Progressivism will not be possible without a strong infrastructure of conservative punditry and raw political power. I maintain that Palin is critical to that scenario. If she becomes President, the political strength of the conservative agenda will be sorely compromised . . . . . . . . . . . period.
I have no plans for political office and, pleeeese, stop begging me to run. Why? Besides the fact that such ,a decision would be laughable on its face, it would also be a failure to recognize my place and influence on TEAM KICK BUTT. As things stand today, Sarah Palin is the star player on that team. I know where I stand. She must must must accept her calling, as well.
I have been a coach of kids sports for 40 years, and with some success. The single most important function of a successful coach is the placement of his/her players. Put the right kid at quarterback and your job, as a coach, is much easier. Get your wrestler at the right weight and the world improves for him. Maximize your talent corp on a baskeball team and you will be a winner. Of course training and conditioning and diet and whatever play critical roles, but the misappropriation of existing and available talent is the death of your career.
Establishment Republicans will resist a President Palin . . . . . . . every step of the way. If she is on the outside, driving GOP Party opinion and allegiance, I believe that "we" can destroy progressivism at its roots and effectively counter the progressive influence within "our" party (the GOP).
Hope no one thinks that I any less a Palin fan. But this makes too much sense to me.
Someone tell Sarah that the fat guy in California, the owner of a man-bike and flunkie conservative blogger, has spoken. Get after it. See you in 2012 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I am going for a ride.
