Commentary By Ron Beasley
Anyone who thinks they can predict what will happen in November of 2010 is not paying attention. While it's true that Obama and the Dems are in a downfall the Republicans are not in any better shape. Case in point - Sarah Palin. As she has demonstrated over and over again she has little if any knowledge of anything that really matters. She demonstrated that again today when she got some friendly fire from Glen Beck on FOX.
During Sarah Palin's interview with Glenn Beck today, something
extraordinary happened -- Beck challenged Palin on a stock,
noncommittal answer to a question. Beck asked: "Who's your favorite
Founder?""You know, well, all of them, because they came collectively
together with so much--" Palin began, in a manner much like her
non-answers to Katie Couric's questions about which newspapers she's
read ("All of them.") and which Supreme Court decisions she's disagreed
with (which brought a similarly broad answer about how there are a lot
of decisions)."Bullcrap," Beck interrupted. "Who's your favorite."
"--so much diverse and so much diversity in terms of belief, but
collectively they came together -- and they were led by, of course
George Washington, so he's got to rise to the top." Palin then gave a
short speech on Washington's virtues.
Of course they wern't even led by Washington who while he may have been the first President had nothing to due with the Declaration of Independence of the Constitution and was really little more than a popular and yes lucky general.
you liberal morons make me sick. Washington was a lucky general huh. that has to be the most intelligent comment I have ever heard. I wish you all would get on a boat and go to France.
ReplyDeleteHey there David, keep in mind we would have lost the Revolutionary War if it had not been for France and because that support bankrupted France Louis XIV lost his head. And yes, Washington himself admitted he was lucky - you conservative morons really are morons who have no knowledge of history.
ReplyDeleteIt was certainly all Washington's brilliance that led to a gifted, Polish combat engineer being at West Point and building fortifications that kept the British from splitting American forces.
ReplyDeleteIIRC, Washington gave him a lot of credit. Got him a statue at the Academy at least.
But whatever, i'm sure that Ms. Palin could lead us as brilliantly as Washington, 'cause, you know, he wasn't an insider or anything. He was just a regular American who understood small-town values. (Oh, and he wasn't a committed Mason dedicated to the worship of Reason either. He was a good Christian which is why he dedicated the Capitol in full, Masonic regalia.)
Palin shows how dumb she is stupid. News at 11.
ReplyDeleteIRL, Palin's favorite founder would be Elbridge Gerry.
ReplyDeleteWell Ron, you touched one of the gods in an unkind way, and we can't have that, whatever the facts. What would be next? Mentioning that Reagan suffered from Alzheimer's and that this was remote-diagnosed correctly, as it later turned out, during his first term?
ReplyDeleteIts generally reported that Washington single handedly started the French and Indian War by failing to control his Indian allies.
ReplyDeleteWashington was in the room when the Dec of Indy was debated, wearing his old FAIW British Officer's dress. He was the choice of Adams etal to lead because, besides being one of the few revolutionaries with ANY war experience, he, like Jefferson, was Virginian and the radicals of the North needed to shore up support from the Carolinas and anyway Virginia had the most people.
Washington was also in the room when the constitution was created. He was an important figurehead, and, as president of the convention, served to calm its competing factions. Since he was an ego-driven aristocrat, he enjoyed the role a lot, esp because he didn't have to do much work.
Palin must have liked that idea....
