			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Liberals are so maddening, so utterly removed from reality sometimes I think they are deliberately trying to <strong>Gaslight</strong> us.  If they just keep saying crazy things sooner or later we will all just lose our minds. </p>
<p>Today&#8217;s mind boggling liberal upside down craziness comes in the form of an absurd column at Pajamas Media about Governor Palin <a href="http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/is-sarah-palin-getting-trumped/">http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/is-sarah-palin-getting-trumped/</a>  The columns is the usual &#8220;Palin doesn&#8217;t matter&#8221; drivel which is of course self-refuting.  If the Governor doesn&#8217;t matter why is this woman writing about her?  But it was this statement in the comments that had me singing &#8220;their coming to take me away&#8221; for its sheer blind imbecility and complete departure from reality:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Let me make a point for everyone to think about. Sarah Palin is the most divisive and polarize figure in our entire political history.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Astonishing that anyone call Gov. Palin &#8220;the most divisive and polarizing&#8221; political figure.  Our current President calls his political opponents &#8220;enemies&#8221; that must be &#8220;punished.&#8221;  He uses the State of the Union speech to attack the gathered Supreme Court Justices.  He invites a Congressman to the front row of his speech so he can attack that Congressman with viscous demagoguery. </p>
<p>Gov Palin has a long way to go before she can even touch the divisiveness of our current President and Commander in Chief.  Ironically this current POTUS is the most divisive politician I have seen in my lifetime since Gov. Wallace stood in the schoolroom door crying &#8220;segregation forever.&#8221;  But then since that Governor and this President are both from the party that started the Civil War what can you expect?<span id="_marker"> </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had no idea just how many friends I have who are Japanese, or have family in Japan, until yesterday when I started anxiously watching twitter and facebook to make sure they and their loved ones were okay.   Besides the many Japanese skaters I know personally there are a host of others whose careers I have long watched from afar and admired.  Thanks to new media I am able to know instantly when someone is accounted for, but I also must wait helplessly when bad news or worse yet no news makes its way to the internet.   Fumie Suguri World Medalist and Japanese Champion lost her grandfather.  Mirai Nagasu, the American young lady who was 4th at the last Olympics, can not reach her grandparents in Japan.  So I am watching the twitter feeds and praying for all of Japan.</p>
<p>Universal Sports has kindly kept track of the tweets from Japanese skaters <a href="http://www.universalsports.com/blogs/blog=gofigure/postid=523434.html">http://www.universalsports.com/blogs/blog=gofigure/postid=523434.html</a></p>
<p>But for most of us all we can do is pray and donate to the Red Cross.   It is always at times like this that we &#8220;ugly Americans&#8221; put the world to shame with our generosity.  I have no doubt we will do so again.  </p>
<blockquote><p>Those who want to help can go to <a href="http://www.redcross.org/">www.redcross.org</a> and donate to Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami. People can also text REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation to help those affected by the earthquake in Japan and tsunami throughout the Pacific.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The conservative civil war continues I see.  Being a conservative war it is fought only with words of course.  But Professor Sowell&#8217;s brilliant take down of Michael Medved this morning is as if the US Marines had attacked a boy scout troop.  ( Yes I know Marines would never do that.)  <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/260399/voices-moderation-thomas-sowell">http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/260399/voices-moderation-thomas-sowell</a></p>
<p>The question I still haven&#8217;t heard answered from all the &#8220;voices of moderation&#8221; in conservatism: Andrew Ferguson, Michael Medved etc., is simple.  If Obama hated this country what would he be doing differently? </p>
<p>Like Queen Elizabeth I I can not make windows into men&#8217;s souls.  I have no idea what hates or loves the President carries in his heart.  I can only judge him by his deeds and words which clearly spell out the USA is bad and must be permanently weakened.  The evidence thus far: 20 years in a church with a pastor damming America, &#8220;typical white people&#8221; &#8220;bitter clingers&#8221; &#8220;after a while you&#8217;ve made too much money&#8221;; a crippling deficit that will weaken our economy for decades, the grand apology tour, abandoning our allies, embracing our enemies, literally bowing to hostile world leaders, the finest health care system in the world deliberately hogtied to an ever growing and expanding government bureaucracy&#8230;.I can&#8217;t go on.</p>
<p>The point is simple every action he has taken, and the words he utters off teleprompter, are all indicative of a men who hates this country and wants it forever damaged.    Even some liberals this week have spoken out against his proposed budget and his support of the Wisconsin unions because these are such destructive actions.   If you are telling me despite all this, it is not deliberate, not filled with hatred, then I must assume you can make those soul windows.  I wouldn&#8217;t dare to presume to judge except by deeds.</p>
