Please understand what you are looking at when you look at Sarah "Evita" Palin. You are looking at the designated muse of the coming American police state.

Under the coming Palin-Rove police state, you will witness the plans now underway to bring Iraqi troops to patrol the streets of our nation. This is not McCain's fantasy: it is Rove's and Cheney's.

Under the Palin-Rove police state, there will be no further true elections. Mark Crispin Miller has done sensational and under-reported investigating t o establish that -- as I warned -- indeed the GOP staffers on the US Senate Judiciary Committee have been .

I take marching orders from no one. I am just able to see a right-wing lunatic religious fanatic for the potential tyrant she is.

The nation took a dangerous turn toward tyranny when the Posse Committatus Act was repealled.

It needs to be restored, retroactive to 2001 as the first order of business of the next congress. Maybe it should be brought back to the fore right now, so that a vote can be taken before the election, to show people who is really on the side of America.

Sarah Palin is a good woman. So she would turn USA into a North Korea? What does Arianna Huffington think about Kim Jong-il. It makes me so sad to think what happens in North Korea and how nobody will ever save North Korea.

According to this, it's already back to the way it had been.

It needs to be restored, retroactive to 2001 as the first order of business of the next congress.

The changes were made in 2006, not 2001, and retroactive application is meaningless.

It's from Naomi Wolf, what did you expect? A rational intelligent article?

Well, I'm used to the low quality of Huff posts article as well. Its a shame to think that if it weren't for Palin, these sorts of people wouldn't be going out on a limb and exposing what they really believe.

I always figured the opposite would be true, that we'd have deranged conservatives exposing their real kookiness and racism over Obama. Not that it ended Coulter's career when she advocated converting muslims to christianity after pillaging their countries.

(sigh) I miss Molly Ivins. Huffington couldn't carry her bra-strap.

I know..... really.

I don't like Palin at all but I find it hard to believe the military would follow such a command today no matter who was pulling her strings.

I DO however submit that all things come to an end.

If you were to ask people under any newly formed tyrannical government if they saw it coming the majority would probably say no.

Things were bad in Russia before 1918 but ask any gypsy if things were going to get a whole lot worse in 15 or so years and they would have said no way.

Again, as bad as I think she is for my nation I don't think Palin is the end of America at all, that is crazy talk. But it is equally as crazy to think that the end will not come some day. It's just a matter of time so a LITTLE paranoia is probably healthy unless it is taken to the extreem.

Iraqi troops patrolling US streets? Holy cow, you owe an apology to every kook in the world. This is the sort of insanity that aspires to kookiness.

Sarah Palin is a good woman.

Odin help me, this earns the rare trifecta: She is the most phenomenally under qualified VP pick in modern history and a fundamentalist dingbat of epic proportions.

But at least she's a good woman. (?)

You know, I like HuffPo, but as far as coming out of the kook closet goes, that train left the station when Deepak Chopra started posting there.

Heck, probably even before that.

This seems to be the rationalization for supporting people who are unqualified and belong to fringe churches these days. They are a good person, give a good speech, or inspire people.

Was that Deepak I saw in the new "I'm a PC" ad?

At least now where know where Burch, Lefty, and Bolo get their marching orders.

(Bolding by me)


I have yet to see any of the three you accuse stating anything quite like the bolded portion of your quote up there...nice straw man though.

Hadn't seen the ad until you asked, looked it up on youtube. Yep, that's him.

 

[kallsop]

Regarding the subject of the thread. Huff Post is about as far in the closet as Kevin Spacey.

Well, if you have a good suggestion for how to topple that government and re-unite Korea under a democratic government, I am all ears.

Yeah, Lefty can be pretty far out in, well, left field.

Don't be. Then your brain will still be there. Wait...
