Comments on The Ignorant Fishermen: What is Driving the Left's Hatred of Sarah Palin?

Benjamin, I used to live in Alaska so I have some idea of what I'm talking about.

You seem concerned that Alaska receives more money from the feds than it gives. Well, back when Alaska became a state, the feds owned all the land. To get the people to vote for statehood they(the feds) promised to turn it all over the the state except for a few military bases and national parks.

Then they struck oil and the rules changed. The state still got a lot of land but most of the oil-bearing land was kept by the feds regardless of their promise. Some diligent investigation found oil under some of the land the feds had already turned over to the state so the state still had a significant income... enough to invest and pay the citizens a healthy dividend check each year from the earnings.

Still, the feds DID cheat a bit on all those thousands of square miles of land they didn't turn over to the state.

Frankly, I think the state has every right to charge, overcharge and charge interest on anything they can get from the feds.

Even if they want to build a bridge to nowhere!

Fascinating as I find the blind hatred toward Palin, right now I'm much more fascinated by the ability of commenters hear to defeat the space/time continuum by posting comments months before the article about which they're commenting.

Spooky.

Benjimini: While in office you said AK took in more federal dollars than it gave back.That might be true.However the last study conducted was from 2005.A full year before she took office in dec 2006.She cut earmark requests by 83% in her short term.Yes she quit however you lefties know why.You forced her with your bogus ethics complaints to do so.Given her choice stay on and cost her state millions more and face personal bankruptcy.She oppted to side step your lefty pals and their ethics loophole,to go on the offense.You think Americans are stupid and are not finding out the facts each day of that BS destroy Palin attempt up there?Then you said she distributed the corporate wealth to citizens of AK.Hmmm yes she did,however what you fail to point out and you lefties know this but never say it is.Under her states constitution she has every right too.Back in the 50s(at the hight of anti socialist sentiment)when AK joined the union as a state the federal gov approved AKs conditions of unification.One of those was to allow its citizens ownership rights of their states mineral,oil & gas resources.AK can redistribute the revenues generated,directly in payment to its citizens.They have being doing so ever since joining the union.Palin introduced an elevator tax structure(now adopted by some other nations such as Norway)that taxes more when oil is high and less when oil is low in price.That structure played out well when oil hit 147 a barrel and she sent out extra resource divedend cheques that year.Of an aditional 1200 per man woman and child.Because under her states constitution she was allowed to do so.One can argue if your from AK,your expected to do so.That rebate was in addition to the yearly rebate of 2000-3000 they allready recieve.One last point about earmarks you lefties never mention when you condem AK, is its geographic location.Shipping of goods makes everything way more expensive.AKs construction season due to extream weather,is a shortened time frame that drives up construction costs due to overtime costs and 24-7 shift work.Having friends from AK.I know more first hand about AK,than any of you so called smarty pants people do,so there.

Sarah is the epitome of "the elite," you just haven't noticed. How many people do you know that were selected to run for Vice President of the US? How many have written books for which they received an enormous amount of cash, following up with a book tour and speeches for exorbitant fees? She's now living the life of the very elite.

PS - Love her screeds against the "main stream media" - of which she is now a part (if you count Fox News as MSM). Isn't there something in the bible about opening your eyes?

2010-02-18T11:40:43.609-05:00

Sarah is everything American. In the elite realms of Washington and in ivory tower base liberalism they can not comprehend her. I wonder why? Maybe because she practices common sense and natural laws and believes in Almighty God. That scares you doesn't. That there... is the true heart of the matter.

All lefties call her stupid just as they labeled Bush, Quail and Reagan. When they cannot compete with those who practice right and wrong, believe in Almighty God and are full of plain o'l common sense nothing is left but baseless slander.

A fool is a fool is a fool... You will never get it to you wake up from your delusional emotional world.

2010-01-15T03:04:18.465-05:00

The left doesn't "hate" Sarah Palin, they're just amazed that someone who so obviously has not done their political homework has the support of so many. There are conservatives who have a grasp of issues and are worthy of support. Palin is not one of them. If one cares about America, one wants someone competent and hard working in office, not someone with a celebrity mentality.

2010-01-14T17:01:07.938-05:00

Ben,
Truth is not hate or rage. Rage and hate are found in those who hate truth and reality. (John 3:18-21, Jude 1:10)

The Left hates Sarah because they hate liberty and love confusion and anarchy. The Left hates Natural Laws and love chaos. They hate Almighty God and the Bible Authority and love Lucifer, Saul Alinsky and any who fight against the rule of Law, the Constitution and common good John 8:44).

Truth and reality, moral laws and Almighty God are despotic and fascist to those who hate them. The Left is seeking to fight against any who hold these realities sacred and seek to place them on our society. They are with out doubt… haters of reality.

Have Faith in God my friend. That is what life and this little world is all about.

Thanks for your reply.

Benjamin

Your obsession is telling; please do continue with your rage towards good while your evil loots and pillages everyone and everything.

You give the good a glorious purpose in defending what is right about demolishing your evil 'social justice' tyranny.

I thank you persistently reminding free people what we are up against.

The right seems to think that we on the left are "at war" with Sarah Palin. This is giving her far too much credit. In reality, we're just pointing and laughing at her. However, part of the Sarah Palin narrative is this myth that she's being persecuted, and if we're simply chuckling at her being petty and unfit for office rather than actually organizing some sort of "war" against her, it hurts the story you guys are busily telling yourselves.

Come on guys, you can do better than this. You're putting all your support behind a person who's served half of one gubernatorial term before quitting, who can't get through an interview without appearing completely out of her depth (Gibson, Couric, Walters -- take your pick), and who, perhaps worst of all, doesn't even share your values! While in office, despite her big talk, Alaska took more money from the Federal government than it paid while also redistributing corporate earnings directly to the citizens. It's pure welfare-state, big-government socialism, but the right totally ignores this because you're infatuated with this woman.

So, no. We aren't at war with Palin. In fact, most of us on the left are eager for the far right to go all in on Palin, the way many lefties did with, say, Howard Dean in 2004, only to have their hearts broken and become disenchanted when the wheels came off. We'd like nothing more than for Palin to split the Republican Party down the middle, siphon off a bunch of the available political donations, and bash other candidates and be bashed herself for months and months. She probably can't win the nomination and if she does she'll be so polarizing and gaffe-prone that she'll likely collapse.

But if you want to believe this myth that the mean ol' Left is coming after poor Sarah Palin, if you really thrive in this mythology of victimization, knock yourselves out. It's totally nonsense, but I'm glad it amuses you.

Thanks bloggers for getting Sarah's back and ours here at the IFB. God Bless Sarah Palin and God save the USA or those whosoevers who want to be saved!!!

Very beautiful summation of what is being done to Sarah, and what is immanent for the world. I salute your courage in the face of hatred (some of which lost no time in denouncing you in your own comments section). Pay no attention to the liberal scorn - that's what liberals do, they scorn. If they ever lost their twisted rage, they'd have to face their own empty lack of humanity, and that is something that frightens them more than death itself.

Wow, man.

I have just read the rantings of a lunatic. Nothing in this absurd screed is worth even commenting on. What a deluded person the author of this insanity must be. I hope you get better someday, somehow.
