Great win for Sarah Palin and Joe Miller

When I heard that Lisa Murkowski had conceded the election to Joe Miller, I was overwhelmed as I felt the nervousness surrounding the recount lift from my heart. This victory for Miller is not only a great step forward for the citizens of Alaska, but it also serves as vindication of Sarah Palin. She was said to be despised by Alaskans and would eventually be embarrassed by a crushing Murkowski victory over Joe Miller. Instead, the soon to be Senator Miller won, and crow was served all around.

However, soon the media story transformed from how this was a huge embarrassment for Governor Palin to how she had little influence on the race at all. Sadly, this behavior is all too typical from these cretins. Let us fellow conservatives savor this moment before we prepare for battle once again. Other RINOs await-let us greet them the same way we did Murkowski.

Sarah Palin derserves due credit for her endorsements

I've noticed over the past week (along with everybody else who pays attention) that Sarah Palin gets all the blame when a candidate with her endorsement loses, but one when wins, she is marginalized. For example, let's take Karen Handel and Joe Miller.


Palin endorses Handel and she came in first place in the primary, but lost the run-off. Suddenly the topic of the day in the LSM became whether or not Governor Palin was still a relevant force in today's political world. However, when she endorses Joe Miller's campaign for Senate and he against all odds appears to win, Palin's factor on the race is downplayed. She is relegated to a third player. It was the Tea Party Express and the pro-life ballot initiative that were the real factors, they clamor.

Here are the facts. Handel was pushed nearly to be brink of victory by Sarah Palin. Otherwise the former would have most likely lost soundly. In addition, no one knew who Joe Miller was before Sarah Palin put him on the map. The Tea Party Express and the anti-abortion ballot initiative may have added fuel to Joe Miller's campaign fire, but Palin lit the flame. Without her, he would not be on the verge of beating Lisa Murkowski, and he admits this himself. So let's give credit where credit is due. If you want to blame her for the losses of the people she endorses, then give her credit for the victories too.

Skepticism about Mr. "Hawk"

Mr. "Hawk", (I have real doubts that is his real name) attempted to provoke the Palins. The first clue is that while he asks Palin's name, supposedly showing ignorance of her identity, he has the camera on the whole time. It looks to me, a simple observer, that he knows who Sarah Palin is and wants to get youtube footage of her looking bad. What did he get? Video of a man defending his wife from a stalker, which any good husband would do. Todd showed restraint.

I'll start taking this "Hawk" seriously when I can get verification of his story, of which little evidence exists. As far as we know "Hawk" is a made-up name and he has no wife. There is no proof to show otherwise.

PZ Meyers takes on Palin and fails

Bill O'Reilly is a big fat idiot. So is Sarah Palin. : Pharyngula

Let me get his dismissal of what O'Reilly said out of the way:

In his opening statement, that fathead O'Reilly says:

The constitution clearly states that the government cannot impose religion on citizens, but setting aside a day to encourage expression of voluntary spirituality is in no way an imposition.

No, here's what the first amendment actually says.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Yeah, how dare O'Reilly (who I am no big fan of) paraphrase the first amendment. Yes, the federal government cannot set up a state church or something like that, but the NDP is not a state church. It's not even close.

But wait! Can Sarah Palin possibly be even dumber than O'Reilly? You betcha.

…our constitution of course acknowledging that our unalienable rights come from god not man…

Oy.

Here is the first sentence of that thoroughly god-free document...

Now if you watch the video of the interview with Sarah Palin, you know that she does mention the Declaration of Independence in the same sentence as the U.S. Constitution. And the former document does mention God as the source of our unalienable rights.

The babbling goes on from there, with O'Reilly even claiming that the Constitution is based on the Ten Commandments, which is also news to me: I've missed the parts that set aside holy days, demand worship of a single god, or outlaws coveting; it doesn't even make murder and theft illegal!

PZ Meyers missed the point entirely. The principles underlying the Ten Commandments are the same as those underlying the U.S. Constitution.

Throughout the Ten Commandments references are made to authority, namely God first, then your Father and Mother. The U.S. Constitution fundamental premise is that there must be authority over man, (that is why the document was crafted in the first place)and from that premise the Founding Fathers went on to write the most carefully constructed constitution in the history of the world.

The commandment not to steal is nothing else but a declaration of the importance of property rights, something that is stressed throughout the U.S. Constitution.

Finally, the command not to kill is a direct statement of a person's right to be left free from threats of force or violence. "Cruel and unusual punishment" and the Eighth Amendment ring a bell with anyone?

The vast majority of the people that fought the Revolutionary War were Christians. Most of the Founding Fathers were Christians. The Ten Commandments forms the basis of a Christian's moral code. That morality influences every decision he or she makes in life. Are we to believe that the many Christians who had a hand in shaping the Constitution and our system of government did not allow their moral beliefs to guide them? I think not. To say otherwise would be foolish. Just because a specific document does not verbatim quote the Bible hardly means it is not influenced by it in one way or the other.

That's what Sarah Palin and lot of others have been saying for a long time. And guess what? They're right.

Malia Litman: Where do my rights come from?

Malia Litman: Sarah Palin's unalienable (sic) rights come from god

Evidently, our founder fathers thought so, as they said as much in the Declaration of Independence. It's there, go look it up. Even a former attorney like you might be able to do that. They even spell unalienable right. And they know, like Sarah Palin, that rights given by men to men can be taken away by men, but rights bestowed by God are eternal.
