(Tip of the beak to Toes for sending me this link which references this story in the Washington Times)
When Sarah Palin resigned as Governor of Alaska, my take was that she had done so because she needed to be a "private citizen" in order to go after the reptilian sub-humans who have hounded her relentlessly since her stellar Team Elephant convention speech last year. As a private citizen, libel laws would protect her from a lot of the more heinous invective being flung like chimpanzee feces by the chimpanzees of the Left.
I lamented in an entry I made during the Independence Day weekend that our country had devolved to the point where only reptilians could hold public office; a normal human being like Sarah Palin was NOT welcome, and now they had succeeded in driving her from office.
Or....maybe Sarah Palin is crazy like a fox. The Washington Times reports:
The former Republican vice-presidential nominee and heroine to much of the GOP's base said in an interview she views the electorate as embattled and fatigued by nonstop partisanship, and she is eager to campaign for Republicans, independents and even Democrats who share her values on limited government, strong defense and "energy independence."Some are now speculating -- including blogs not given to political themes -- that this is her brilliant first step towards establishing herself as the leader of a new Conservative party.
That. Would. Be. A-W-E-S-O-M-E.
The only hope this country has of shedding the reptilians and returning to Constitutional principals (short of revolution) is a third party comprised of human beings. Right, wrong, or indifferent, these would be people with core values and a spine (believe me, it takes core values and a spine to be a conservative Democrat!) who would vote for what's good for the American people, not what's good for One World Socialist Utopia.
Will it happen? Stay tuned. We live in interesting times. We most certainly live in interesting times.
