I just posted the following in another column “A CIVIC LESSON”…which stated that only 1 in 3 can name all 3 branches of government:

“Duh…no sh!t. We’ve become a nation dumber than a pail of hammers.

The government interventionists plans have worked. Keep America dumbed down. That makes for the very best kind of voters.

Brace yourself…Sarah Palin just resigned as governor. She said that she promised that she wouldn’t adhere to “government as usual” and that she isn’t able to make Alaska’s politicians do what she wants so she’s pulling up her panties and going to the White House next election (partly paraphrased and a tiny bit made up).”

I honestly don’t think I can stand 3 years of political ads by Palin. In fact, I’m nearly 100% certain that I won’t be able to stand a single political ad by any candidate.

We have a seriously sick system of government. “We The People” apparently don’t have the intellect or the guts to attempt to fix the problems.

I’m just waiting for a bottom to occur. Then maybe the American voters will go to some 12 step political program to wean themselves from sucking the government tit…start learning about how government works….and change it.

Gezzzz, it’s gonna get worse. How in the hell can we survive the political ignorance in this country?

Do you think she will choose the Maverick to be her running mate Hal?

Only then will we ABSOLUTELY know what her REAL plans are.

In fact, it’s about time for ALL such 2012 Presidential wannabees to start poking around up here.

Clearly, ONE of the primary reasons the Republicans lost the last Presidential election is because they put up a horrifically unqualified, far right governor of a rural, out of the mainstream state (Alaska) as their Vice Presidential candidate.

However, come 2012 (if Ms. Palin even MAKES it that far politically) she’ll now be even LESS qualified.

The Republicans…self-professed party of “family values” who freely allowed themselves to be hijacked by the fundamentalist Christian right….just keep digging themselves into a deeper and deeper pit of hypocrisy.

Barry Goldwater has GOT to be turning over in his grave about now!

This smacks of damage control. There are probably larger ethics questions about her job performance and she knows the end is near. Rather than be forced out she’s looking for some semblance of high ground in the pit she has dug for herself.

his landslide defeat to Johnson led to a steady move of the party from his basic conservative principles and opposition to Great Society philosophy, to the dominance of the religious right, which he came out against in the 1980′s.

….all of which was precisely my point!
