Its Not About Palin, Its About Democracy

Here is the bottom line. If we cannot elect Sarah Palin, it means that in the US, democracy is dead. For one thing we all know, if indeed Sarah turns out to be “unelectable” its not down to anything other than the hate propaganda of the Democrat party and their corrupt media cronies. If we cannot elect Palin, it means that the only candidate we can elect is the candidate that the Democrats and their corrupt media cronies approve of, or allow us to. How is this democratic?

Today, Rush Limbaugh included an article from the Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion blog in his editorial. He said-

I want you to listen to this. This is from the Le•gal In•sur•rec•tion blog.

Any Republican or conservative or Tea Party supporter who dumps on Palin in any way over the Tucson shooting or her defense of herself should just stop talking now. It does not matter whether you support Palin for President, whether you think she is electable, or even whether you like her. This is not about Palin, it is about the mainstream media’s desire to have Barack Obama re-elected at any cost and to take down any Republican candidate who stands in the way.

The left knows that she would wipe the floor with Obama. Our intelligentsia on the right wing know that she would wipe the floor with Obama. That’s what all of this means. There are “smart people,” quote, unquote, in both parties who want nothing to do with Palin, precisely because of the threat she poses to their claim and hold on power. So the point of this is: If Republicans are gonna sit by and watch Palin savaged, they’d better be prepared to sit by and watch the next one get savaged and the next one. Because that’s what’s coming. If the Republicans cannot defend themselves over this kind of scurrilous, baseless, libelous charge, they got no business running.

They’ll not be able to elect anybody. If we shut up and be silent on this — if we’ve got Republicans like Frum who will agree with the left-wing blogosphere and the mainstream media that Palin should shut up, that she should stop defending herself and it’s a horrible travesty of just what Palin did; if we’re gonna have Republicans sit around and give Obama credit for sitting by for four days while his allies try to take her out, then give a speech and get credit for the wonderful things he said about it — then we got more idiots in our party than we would want to know.

We have useful idiots who are being played like a Stradivarius by the left wing, from Obama on down to the mainstream media to the left-wing blogs.

We’ve got people on our side, typified by Frum, who are useful idiots, who are being incorporated into their effort to destroy any Republican’s chance for victory in 2012. I think we played a sound bite by Frum yesterday who said, basically, “Forget the presidency. Let’s go down for down-ballot success. Let’s try to win back the Senate. Obama’s gonna get reelected.” (sigh) And I know a lot of people who think David Frum is the answer for the Republican Party. Not us, folks. Intelligentsia in the conservative movement so forth. It’s preposterous, of course, but it’s a good point. If all the others… Name names: Huckabee, Romney, Pawlenty.

If all the others are gonna sit around and watch this happen to their party by virtue of it happening to Palin, then they’re just the next ones in line. This is an excellent blog post, and it’s exactly on the money. This call for “civility”? They don’t want us to be civil. They want us to be cowed.

They want all of us to become Frumized. They want all of us to see the wisdom in saying that the Republicans are silly and defensive and maybe a little guilty in their own minds for even deigning to defend themselves on this scurrilous charge. Yeah, they want us cowed — and look what happens to cows.

Yep, Rush hits the nail right on the damn head as usual. If you want to read the full transcript of his monologue, its here. The blog post he refers to is here. [Actually, I recommend a look around while your there, its got a lot of good stuff on Palin.] Bottom line. You want to do exactly what the left want you to do, then go ahead- write Palin off. I support her. She’s got an uphill battle fighting the Democrat Party, most of the media as well as much of the GOP, but I reckon it’s far better to go down fighting than to not even try.
