Maggie's Farm

She's full of joy --and that makes people feel good. This is why the left so particulary hates her --it's hard to demoralize the populace into slavery when there's people like Palin about. She may be many things to many people, but she is sho nuff the perfect squelch to the doom and gloom wannabe prison planet wardens.

MM, i think Kevin probably exhausted his capacity just memorizing that bumber sticker. The best we can hope is that he always takes an actual physical wrong turn on his way to the voting booth.

Even the lowliest freshman congressperson has a Cecil B DeMille staff, beaucoup hundred-thousand-dollars (and up) lawyers all snappily standing by to research and inform on any question under the sun. Brocolli could be president, insofar as data aquisition and assimiliation is concerned.

What a president must be is 'the' American, the trustworthy merican --honest, straight, and true --and trusting of the Constitution, the American people, and truly respectful of the lives of the little people, and kind and understanding, and hard as nails on a few simple principles and large ideas.

A citizen should be able to watch a president speak and come away refreshed and invigorated --and purposeful. There is no need for a citizen to be cowed and envious and flabbergasted at a president's giant inellect. No need whatsoever. Character is practically all --followed closely by cheer and optimism --and of course always, good judgement.

Anyone who prefers a brainy Obama, lying like ten thousand rugs, so full of acid and secrets and gloom and doom hiding behind ersatz contrived happy talk, over an honest-to-goodness patriot with all the right attitudes, such as Palin, on the grounds that the brainiac "is smarter" --is, i'm sorry, acting like the progressives want you to act --that is, like a fool.
