Bennett asked, when did we stop being that hope, and who took our place?

That’s bugged me for a long time about libs; they assume we’ve all lost hope somehow and end up appealing to the most self-pitying.

See, for example, Dennis Kucinich’s “Hope Begins” campaign slogan. Hope begins? With Dennis?

Dammit, why can’t we question his patriotism? The only reason these Dems whine about their patriotism being questioned is because they know they don’t have any and they cannot be reelected if the rest of the country knows it. If they had any patriotism, maybe their judgment wouldn’t be so bad. We make judgments, not in light of our knowledge alone, but tempered by our ideals and beliefs. If you have no ideals outside of yourself and you believe in nothing but yourself, then hell yes, you’re going to make bad judgments because all your judgments are centered on you, without regard for anyone else.

Ha! Nice. I was gonna say Alaska.

I’ve been to Europe, I lived there for three years. I had a great time, but it only made me love America even more than I already did. I have lib friends who’ve been to France for a week and think they know all about it. But vacationing ther and LIVING there are two different things entirely. The 35 hour work week, the high unemployment, the roving gangs of ‘dissaffected youths’ (aka muslims) burning everything in sight. Nice place to visit (just the touristy spots, don’t go near the suburbs) but you wouldn’t wanna live there.

True and clever.

Gibson’s aggressive approach appeared to take Palin by surprise: He was clearly attempting to put her on point by presenting her as having extreme religious views. This again, however, appears to be a double-standard, as Palin grew up in the Assemblies of God, one of the largest Christian denominations in America with 16 million members, and is now a member of the Wasilla Bible Church. Even now, Obama has yet to receive any comparable grilling on his 20-year attendance in the congregation of the notoriously racist Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

UPI gives a very pro Palin assessment. Read the whole thing.

All we have heard from the left on community organizing is that it is code for “black” in the hopes of getting people to stop asking questions about it.

It is not unforseeable that this ticket will mellow a bit and move happily and, yes, buoyantly to the election in November with a nice edge.

Frankly, this is a ticket that I’m completely comfortable with. It’s not platform-perfect, but, it’s the best game in town, and a darn sight better than the fatuous and transparent altenative!

To borrow from an idea in the thread on Obama’s use of personal attacks, one can conclude that the Dem presidential candidate is living in a glass house, easily shattered if the media would examine his history with more curiosity and less than hands-off adulation.

Obama is dangerous to our American liberties and way of life. He deserves a full vetting.
