“Among the remembrances of the dead and the recollections of seven years ago, not one more attack on American soil has occurred. Remember that.”
“We’ve been through some of the characteristics that Sarah Palin possesses that the liberals hate; some of it is personal, but it’s larger than that. She is likable, lovable, and causing people to embrace her… and this is what liberals want for themselves.”
“The Democrat Party seized, after a couple of weeks, the opportunity of the attacks on 9/11 to politicize everything so as to reacquire their power — and they have not stopped for seven years.”
“By the way, folks, let’s not forget one thing, on this, the seventh anniversary of 9/11: the Reverend Jeremiah Wright from the pulpit of his church in Chicago, saying we deserved it and ‘America’s chickens are coming home to roost.'”
“Senator Obama, I know Jesus Christ. I pray to Jesus Christ all the time. I study what Jesus Christ did. And let me tell you something, Barack Obama: you are no Jesus Christ.”
(Click on the image to read Obamas Sermon on the Mile High Mount)
“Senator Obama, I’ve been searching the Gospels a lot lately for any evidence that Jesus Christ supported infanticide as you do. I’m still looking, sir, in the New Testament, but I’ll let you all know if I come up with anything.”
“The liberals’ over-the-top reaction to Sarah Palin has done more to unite the Republican conservative base than I’ve seen it united in 14 years — and a united, active, involved Republican conservative base does not lose.”
“Obama thinks that by the power of his messianic personality, all these people are just going to become our friends and nobody will be wringing their hands together because it’s all going to be one perfect world of peace and love and harmonic convergence at Mount Shasta, ooooohmmmm.”
If Chuckie asked me that “Do you agree with the Bush doctrine” question, I would have paused, and then sarcastically said, “Naw…I’d wait for Iran to nuke New York into the ocean, then I would call for a UN Peace Plan to show me how to respond in a way that would not offend any state sponsors of terrorism. And then Chuck, I would apologize to the world for two hundred years of American Imperialism and Hubris.” And then just blow him a kiss…..
But I’m not Sarah. I’m a mommy blogger who loves to use street theatre to make a point. Here is the picture that appeared in the Rocky Mountain news after the only Pro Troop/Pro Victory Street demo during the DNC in Denver that I helped to organize.
Some of Hugh Hewitts Blogging guests have thoughtfully parsed the Bush Doctrine issue, much better than I ever could…. And A link to Hugh Hewitts Blog QUOTES:
“Beware top-of-the-head reactions from leftist pundits that depend on their knowledge of even recent history! Even those with PhDs in American history like Josh Marshall frequently demonstrate themselves to be the clueless ones — and that’s exactly what has happened here: In fact, there are at least two major but distinct concepts that have been labeled as “the Bush Doctrine,” along with a bundle of other related themes too.
Based on the date reference, Gibson was probably referring — as ABC News confirms on its “Political Radar” blog — to a formal White House position paper from September 2002 entitled “The National Security Strategy.” But as guest-blogger WLS at Patterico’s points out, that document is actually a 31-page policy paper that spells out how the United States intends to pursue and protect its national security interests in a post-9/11 world. It is both the justification for preemptive war, as well as a justification for including rogue nations in the same class as terrorist organizations. And it’s a lot more.
The National Security Strategy was updated in 2006, and that document is also extremely broad. So let’s look together at the two major but distinct themes that, separately or together, have been described as “the Bush Doctrine,” and also at some of the other less distinct themes that have been included as well.

Holding Rogue States Accountable for Non-State Actors’ Actions: After 9/11/01, I clearly recall that people began talking about the new and still-evolving “Bush Doctrine” almost immediately. Contrary to Charlie Gibson’s suggestion to Gov. Palin, however, that was when the nation was discussing whether to go after al Qaeda and its enabling hosts, the Taliban, in Afghanistan. The discussion then was not about preemptive operations, but rather about retaliatory operations against both non-state actors and the state actors who harbored or helped them.”
Seems it is Charlie Gibson who needs an education on the Bush Doctrine.
From the clips I have watched, I thought she had some great answers to his gotcha questioning style. Can’t wait to watch the whole interview on 20//20 tonight. Charles Krauthammer in the Washington Post
“Yes, Sarah Palin didn’t know what it is. But neither does Charlie Gibson. And at least she didn’t pretend to know — while he looked down his nose and over his glasses with weary disdain, sighing and “sounding like an impatient teacher,” as the Times noted. In doing so, he captured perfectly the establishment snobbery and intellectual condescension that has characterized the chattering classes’ reaction to the mother of five who presumes to play on their stage.”
I bought this t-shirt last night and plan to wear it everywhere around Boulder the next two months.
Obama has a serious problem. I am friends with many Liberal Democrats and they all LOVE Sarah Palin. At our playgroup the other day everyone agreed that they were going to vote for McCain because of Palin. Also, a friend who really didn’t care about politics said she was blown away by Palins Speech at the RNC and will vote for McCain because of her. I guess Obama could try to get Hillary back to be his VP pick, but that would look a little desperate at this juncture in the campaign.
Bummer for Barack!
Let Freedom Ring and God Bless Sarah Palin! Jenny Hatch
“The National Organization of Women even went so far as to declare that Sarah Palin is more like a man than a woman because even though, as a working mother juggling career and family she can speak to many women, her pro-life stance means she cannot speak FOR women.
It just goes to show that feminism is a crock.
You see, Sarah Palin is the “wrong kind” of woman for several reasons. She didn’t attend elite colleges. She didn’t abandon her small-town roots in search of more enlightened climes, like New York or Los Angeles. (I mean, Alaska…who the heck would want to live out there in the boondocks? Do they even have Starbucks?) She believes all life is sacred and therefore doesn’t approve of abortion unless it is to save the mother’s life. And finally, she got where she is today not only by not following the rules set forth by feminists, but she did it without bashing men. She understands that to play successfully in the big boys’ sandbox, whining and crying about sexism and being treated differently isn’t going to cut it.”

Lotta talk about Lipstick these past few days. For Obama to use that particular analogy seems a little bit like a personal attack, what I would like him to respond to though is Sarahs claim that he is more concerned about “reading our enemies their rights” than in prosecuting criminals and preventing terrorist attacks.
One of the reasons I love sarah is because she strikes me as a fierce Mama who if her children were being threatened would not even hesitate to blow a predators head off. I think Obama would want to sit down and have a little chat with an obviously threatening person.
As to who would do a better job of keeping America safe, I’ll go with the beautiful woman wearing lipstick!!! Jenny Hatch
