Sarah Palin Too Dumb to Be President?

Anti-Palin Books Don't Sell: Leftists Write But Don't Read

The American Thinker reports that Anti-Palin books don't sell:

Palin-flamethrower, Geoffrey Dunn of the Huffington Post released The Lies of Sarah Palin: The Untold Story Behind Her Relentless Quest for Power May 10th and Frank Bailey, former Aide to Palin, teamed up with Palin-critic Jeanne Devon to release Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin: A Memoir of Our Tumultuous Years on May 24th. Ardent opponents of Sarah Palin have been highly-anticipating these books which promised to tear down Palin's public image for the long-term.

Interestingly, Geoffrey Dunn's book has not even hit Amazon's top-100 list since its release; and after a week of media coverage including appearances on NBC, ABC's The View, Fox News, CNN, and many more, Frank Bailey's "memoir" disappointingly debuted at #40 and has already fallen to #75.

There is a good reason for that. Leftists don't read.

That goes along with the apparent fact that leftists either don't or can't think past step one of any problem. The typical example is minimum wage. The apparent obvious effect is that people with jobs get a minimum amount of hourly money. Step two is that there are fewer jobs. Step three is that minority youths are hurt the most by the lack of jobs. Leftists can't think past step one.

This sort of non-thinking is what leftist demagoguery appeals to. Hint to leftists: demagoguery by definition refers to appeals to emotion rather than logic. Every time I hear as leftist refer to a reasoned argument as demagoguery, I have to assume they don't know what the word means.

Reading implies thinking. So, it is not surprising that non-thinkers are also non-readers.

Crowder on the Latest Trig - Sarah Scandal

Why The Left So Hates Sarah Palin

In case you were wondering why the left has such an unreasoning hatred of all things Palin, Robin of Berkeley has the answer at American Thinker. Robin, a psychologist and recovering liberal relates a story so personal and so powerful, that I can't even fairly extract any portion here. So please go read it.

Daughter Fixes Palin Mom's Hair; Left Wing Cries "Scandal!"

Sarah Palin goes to Haiti and takes her daughter Bristol.  An AP photographer takes a picture of Bristol fixing her Mom's hair, but Bristol's face is obscured.

The left wing media like the Huffington Post screech that there is a scandal.  Sarah Palin has a hairdresser in Haiti.  How could she be so insensitive?  Huh?

Follow the link for the story and pictures.

What sort of blind hatred make the left think that it would be a scandal to have a hairdresser in Haiti, anyway?

Blind hatred is the left's calling card.

Moron of the Day: Richard Wolffe

Richard Wolffe displays his ignorance of the existence of C.S. Lewis's serious Christian works assuming incorrectly that C.S. Lewis was only about children's books. Mr. Wolffe also displays his arrogance about all things Palin. Chris Matthews knows that C.S. Lewis wrote more than children's books and tries to stop Wolffe, but Wolffe's arrogance will not be denied.

Someone needs to send Mr. Wolffe a copy of Mere Christianity or the chilling Screwtape Letters. Not that he would read it. If he can read.

Congratulations to Richard Wolffe, our Moron of the Day.

Lefty Tweeters Prove They Really Are as Stupid as They Seem

The left believes in government schools. Maybe that is why the left is so weak on history.

Yesterday they uncourteously and foolishly mocked Sarah Pail when she told tea partiers not to "party like its 1773" just yet, not until Washington was flooded with conservatives.

The historically challenged on the left went "har, har, doesn't Palin know the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776?"

Well, that is right, but when was the tea party? You guessed it. 1773.

Huffington: Year's Most Effective Campaign Ad

The Arianna Huffington of the Huffington Post -- no friend of Sarah Palin -- labels the following Sarah Palin video as the most effective campaign ad of the years -- even though it comes from a non-candidate:

Levi Johnson Threatens Sarah Palin with "Leaks"

This I saw on Hotair.com.

So I am asking myself, who is Levi Joahnson and why does it matter? My political junkie-ness does not extend to the personal lives of politicians. But I took a little look and here is what I found.

Levi Johnson is the kid who knocked up Sarah Palin's daughter. He got engaged to the girl and then the engagement got broken (by whom I don't know and don't care).

Anyway, this kid is trying to extend his fifteen minutes of fame. He apparently posed nude for Playgirl. In an interview he says he family is not really white trash and that Sarah Palin is snobby. Wow, Mr. Let-Me-Enter-the-Sex-Trade complains that someone is snobby about him? Who in their right mind wouldn't be? He is not exactly Mr. Family Values, no is he.

In September , Vanity Fair published an interview with this kid in which he slimes Sarah Palin. No doubt the left thought that was important stuff. guess what she was quiet and pouted after losing the campaign last November. Wow. That was a revelation. Who wouldn't be pouty and quiet? As Woody Hayes used to say, show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser.

You know, the older I get, the more I realize you can't trust anyone under 30.

Death Panels: Not Debunked, Exactly

To dispel concerns about the alleged "death panels" in the health care bills, President Obama said at his recent staged town hall meeting,

“Let me just be specific about some things that I’ve been hearing lately that we just need to dispose of here. The rumor that’s been circulating a lot lately is this idea that somehow the House of Representatives voted for death panels that will basically pull the plug on grandma because we’ve decided that we don’t, it’s too expensive to let her live anymore....It turns out that I guess this arose out of a provision in one of the House bills that allowed Medicare to reimburse people for consultations about end-of-life care, setting up living wills, the availability of hospice, etc. So the intention of the members of Congress was to give people more information so that they could handle issues of end-of-life care when they’re ready on their own terms. It wasn’t forcing anybody to do anything.”

Hmmm. This voluntary consultation (1) may be initiated by the physician who is encouraged to do it because the physician gets paid to do it and (2) is in a part of a bill whose stated purpose is “to reduce the growth in health care spending.” In other words, to reduce health care costs, the bill pays physicians to initiate conversations with grandma about her right to have the plug pulled.

No matter how the President tries to package it, this provision is about encouraging pulling the plug to save costs. Sarah Palin has a well reasoned discussion of this on her facebook page.

Palin Ethics Complaint Probable Cause Finding

Governor Sarah Palin has need subject to many frivolous ethics complaints. Now one complaint has been investigated and the investigator has issued a report stating that there is probable cause to believe that the Governor's legal defense fund is a breach of the Alaska ethics law.

The report is supposed to be confidential. Is anyone surprised that the leftists have leaked it? The report is here. The complaint contends that the Alaska Trust Fund, by paying Governor Palin's personal attorneys' fees, will result in her getting a prohibited financial benefit from her being governor. The report is notable in two respects. The investigator, Thomas M. Daniel, appears to by sympathetic to the injustice of his conclusion, because he recommends that the legislature provide for reimbursement of attorneys' fees defending complaints that are dismissed. However, he concludes without adequate analysis that "There is little doubt that the Alaska Trust Fund will provide a benefit tot he Governor's financial interest." He cites no supporting case law for this conclusion.

The actual statute 39.52.120. reads, "(a) A public officer may not use, or attempt to use, an official position for personal gain...."

It seems to me that Mr. Daniel has misunderstaood the statutory language and intent. Sarah Palin is facing numerous non-meritorious ethics complaints (including this) because of her position as governor and because of her national prominence (not to mention the Palin derangement syndrome of the political left). Far from using her position for gain, she is simply trying to break even. When she leaves office, this fund will not make her richer. It will merely protect her from being poorer.

The defense fund is not a financial benefit; it is expense reimbursement for expenses necessarily incurred as a consequence of being governor of Alaska.

Was this complaint one of the reasons that she is stepping down as governor? So she can get her attorneys fees paid?
