Quitter Palin: War on Terror "needs a CIC not a constitutional Professor"
Edited on Wed Jan-06-10 01:26 PM by WI_DEM
and would that leader be you--a quitter?

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin railed against President Obama today, saying "his fundamental approach to terrorism is fatally flawed" and that "the real nature of the terrorist threat requires a commander-in-chief, not a constitutional law professor."

1. Since when did constitutional law become a bad thing?

Since a Democratic president takes the time to evaluate the evidence and see what went wrong
and then make decisions rather than go off half cocked like Republicans do.

3. Constitutional law doesn't come from the "gut"
Having a "feeling in your gut" is much easier than, say, doing difficult global warming science or planning for counterterrorism measures. It's the last refuge of the dumbfuck, and as such, it's the perfect and expected home for Sarah Palin.

17. That's for yuppie east coast, latte-sipping, Prius-and-Volvo driving elitist liberals
who actually think education is a good thing.

Not for "real America." Says Governor 'it-took-me-five-colleges-to-graduate-with-one-degree' Palin.

23. Anti-intellectuals seem to hate education and knowledge
or they simply resent that at which they can't succeed.

Jingoism is Palin's stock-in-trade...along with maintaining her physical assets to help sell the platitudes. That's all she has.

2. Presidential candidates should have a proven record of not being a quitter?
Edited on Wed Jan-06-10 01:29 PM by HughMoran
...and be remotely qualified for such office?

This lady is a flaming hypocrite and can't be taken remotely seriously.

I was hoping she would disappear in 2010, but apparently the media chooses to keep her alive.

If Obama rounded up and executed every Muslim in America, then glassed the entire middle east, it wouldn't be enough for her.

8. There must be no criticism of the president in a time of war
It is the functional equivalent of giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

9. Gawd...who write for her. No way she has the chops to be spouting
this crap. Sounds like it comes right out of the Heritedge Foundation playbook. She wouldn't know a constitutional law professor if she trip over one.

13. You know, I really don't give a tinker's damn what Sarah Palin has to say about anything
She is beyond contempt IMO and her opinions are hardly worthy.

19. I suggest that we always refer to her...
...as Sarah "The Quitter" Palin, a la the wrestling dudes with their nicknames inserted before their first and last names.

Really, all of us here, and all Democrats in general, should do this religiously. It will help head her off when she tries to run for the Presidency next time.

That label needs to be thrown round her neck like an anvil on a chain.

Obama is both CIC and a Constitutional Law Professor. Poor Palin couldn't even win a beauty contest let alone the Vice Presidency.

Fuck you Grifter.

24. After eight years
After eight years of Bush, having a President that is a professor of Constitutional law was about the only way possible to restore America's confidence in it's President!

OTOH, I thought the unconstitutional stuff Bush did would have been nuked Obama's first day in office. That he supports all the unconstitutional crap Bush gave us is a dreadful disappointment to me. Mostly, because if anybody knows better, it would be a Professor of Constitutional Law!

(and, as we ALL know, Sarah does not write these things). \\


The Palin Facebook Doctrine

I wonder if the former governor of Alaska isn’t holed up in some Kaczynski style cabin, blathering out her Facebook Manifestos. When Dick Cheney pops up like a whack-a-mole on Cialis, you can bet Palin won’t be far behind.

The Underwear Bomber and President Obama’s response needed a special Palin edition;


It’s War, not a Crime Spree

President Obama’s meeting with his top national security advisers does nothing to change the fact that his fundamental approach to terrorism is fatally flawed. We are at war with radical Islamic extremists and treating this threat as a law enforcement issue is dangerous for our nation’s security.


Crazy Crouton Break #1: Lookie, talking points: check! The President is quite aware of the War On Terror. Remember how you thought he’d listened to you a month ago about sending another 30,000 troops to Afghanistan? Right…did you think that was to fight the War On Burkas? The Fashionistas?

That’s what happened in the 1990s and we saw the result on September 11, 2001. This is a war on terror not an “overseas contingency operation.” Acts of terrorism are just that, not “man caused disasters.” The system did not work. Abdulmutallab was a child of privilege radicalized and trained by organized jihadists, not an “isolated extremist” who traveled to a land of “crushing poverty.” He is an enemy of the United States, not just another criminal defendant.


Curious you’d bring up the 1990s. Like most Americans you were most likely watching the OJ Simpson trial in October, 1995. We all felt sad for Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman; and a fallen sports hero is always captivating. At the same time, then Federal Judge Michael Mukasey was presiding over the trial of the so-called “Blind Sheik,” Omar Abdel Rahman. He was found guilty of conspiring to blow up five locations in New York in a ten minute time span. Targets included the United Nations, the Lincoln and Holland tunnels, the George Washington Bridge and a federal building that housed the FBI. Kind of a badass. I know…the “Trial of the Century” was OJ’s, not that of a terrorist. Apparently “the American People” don’t find terrorists “sexy” enough to follow along on the TV.
