What is the left telling us these days?

[S]omething many feel, many find as a hunch, that Sarah Palin is the most dangerous threat to the Obama administration with no close second.

How are they telling us this?

[B]y their  “over the top” attacks.  Not just the Letterman assaults, but the constant barrage of grievances filed against her in Alaska.  The attacks every day on Palin for no apparent reason — except that the left seems to see her quite differently from any Republican candidate.  A difference of kind, not of degree.

She has what it takes.

Palin could fill a stadium if she were reciting a cookbook.  But she isn’t.  She is delivering common sense to an electorate that is becoming ever more jaded every day with the Obama nonsense.  Miranda rights for terrorists?  $4 trillion deficit? 

One of these days,

Whenever she chooses, she will take her first trip to Iowa to campaign for some obscure congressional candidate, and when she does, the liberal media cannot ignore the screaming crowds.  And they will not be crowds manufactured by an advance team.  They will be fired up mothers, working people who do not want to pay for deadbeats’ mortgages, people who are now going to grass roots tea parties.

They have to destroy her.

If this be fascism, make the most of it:

True or not, what’s undeniable is that the federal government has burrowed its way deep into the quotidian workings of American capitalism.

The true-or-not part:

“Anything the federal government, or any government, sticks its nose in fails or makes things worse,”

said by factory worker Dennis Davis, who

recently stopped at the Cabela’s store here [Hamburg, Pa.] to buy a $90 carrying case for the long-barreled Contender pistol he uses to shoot pesky groundhogs at his brother’s farm. He paid with a store-issued credit card.

The U.S. government helped finance the transaction. Earlier this year, it recharged the credit-card operations of the Nebraska-based retailer of hunting and camping gear with nearly $400 million of federal financing.

Pesky groundhogs, yes.  But what of pesky U.S. government burrowing into private enterprise.  It’s got Mussolini beat for subtlety, such as it is, I’ll say that much.

And how will Cabela’s people vote, Dem or other?  With their pocketbooks, one might guess.  Answer:

Increasingly, companies big and small are competing on the basis of their ability to tap government money. A divide is opening between gets and get-nots.

About Obama’s Cairo speech, from Cliff May:

Also, I was troubled by this: The President said: “9/11 was an enormous trauma to our country.” Can you imagine FDR describing Pearl Harbor that way, rather than calling it, “a day that will live in infamy”?

Obama added: “The fear and anger that [9/11/] provoked was understandable. But in some cases, it led us to act contrary to our traditions and our ideals.” Can you imagine Eisenhower saying that about the measures taken by FDR and Truman to defeat America’s enemies?

We have become a Therapeutic Society. I’m not confident that Therapeutic Societies can win wars. They are, however, skilled at coping with defeat.

That last ‘graf!  Therapy first!  Better at losing than winning!
