Palin Polar


Doctor Zero gets it, and speaks for many - very many - of us. 
When I began writing for Hot Air, I never imagined I would find myself critical of Charles Krauthammer twice, after only blogging for four months. I’ve followed his work for years, and still eagerly read everything he publishes. He writes brilliantly on many topics, but he just doesn’t get Sarah Palin, or by extension her supporters… which by further extension means he misunderstands the precarious moment America finds itself in, and the opportunities that lie ahead for conservatives.

Let me dispense with the most controversial part of Krauthammer’s recent Town Hall column first: this condescending nonsense about asking Palin to “leave the room” while “we have a reasoned discussion about end-of-life counseling.” There’s only one group of people who needs to leave the room during that discussion, and it’s the socialist zealot in the White House, along with the craven cowards in his party. They’ve already demonstrated a remarkable gift for swiftly leaving the room when people start asking tough questions, so we’ll hardly notice when they slink out. Maybe while they’re gone, they could find the billions in Cash for Clunkers money that vanished into thin air.

Like Ann Coulter's dis of we who will not take insults for answers about Barry's birthing, I disagree with Krauthammer's "condescending nonsense."  But, what the hell, I disappointed my mother a lot too, but she stuck by me, as I will with these two.  Until they commit a second capital crime.

I've been watching Krauthammer for years on FNC. I've come to the conclusion that he's a complete pragmatist and doesn't believe in principles.

"Conservatives who allow themselves to be dragged into bickering about page 945 of a 1200-page bill have already conceded far too much of the debate."

Wow, this guy seems to get it. Captain-Zero's Marxist agenda goes way further than economics.

A central tenet of Marxism is the belief that the individual is nothing and society/volk/whatever is all. That means creating a society where the state controls every aspect of life. The Nazi's did it. So did the Soviets. Castro still does it.

Its this idea that must be challenged. Arguing about how much stuff will cost just concedes the basic premise to the enemy.
