FORGETTING SARAH PALIN

I just LOVE Ann Coulter. And I do believe Sarah Palin is one of the most competent, conservative, Christian, political figures to come on the scene since Ronald Reagan!

Read Ann's July 8th column from WorldNetDaily.com:

Sarah Palin has deeply disappointed her enemies. People who hate her guts feel she's really let them down by resigning.

She's like the ex-girlfriend they're SO over, never want to see again, have already forgotten about – really, it's O-ver – but they just can't stop talking about her.

Liberal: Ha, ha ... Sarah who? She's over, she's toast, a future Trivial Pursuit answer, nothing more.

Normal person: Whatever. How about the North Korean missiles?

Liberal: Can you believe she just resigned the governorship like that? What a quitter!

Normal person: Speaking of quitting, how's work?

Liberal: Did you hear she might get a TV show? There's no way Sarah Palin's getting a TV show! No way! I can't believe stupid Sarah Palin could get her own stupid TV show now. Well, I'm sure not gonna watch it – that's for sure!

Normal person: Have you seen all the Michael Jackson coverage on TV?

Liberal: How does she think she can run for president in 2012 if she can't finish her term as governor of a Podunk state? She's finished.

Normal person: OK, then! You won't have to vote for her.

Liberal: I was never going to vote for her! But now I'm not going to vote for her twice. And I will never watch her TV show. I am so over her.

Reporters had already written their stories on Palin's press conference – "rambling!" "incoherent!" – before she even stepped to the podium.

Whatever you think of Palin, her argument for resigning was the opposite of "rambling" and "incoherent."

Palin's basketball analogy couldn't have been clearer, even to prissy liberal pundits who get uncomfortable when the subject turns to sports: She decided to destroy the other team's game plan, which has been to obsessively focus on her, by resigning.

This is particularly apt here – she's passing the ball to a fantastic right-wing lieutenant governor, who shares her principles but doesn't set off the left's neuroses.

This is better for him, better for the state, better for the conservative program and better for Palin personally, whose family is sick of all the crap. Now she can make a lot of money and promote conservatism on a national stage.

It certainly won't be held against Palin by people who don't already loathe her. (On the other hand, her approval ratings among people who think she's worse than Hitler are down to 48 percent.)

With the left frenetically filing ethics complaint after ethics complaint against Palin, costing her state millions of dollars and her personally half a million dollars, citizens of Alaska must be asking, "Can we please have our state back?"

But to read the news reports – which actually were rambling and incoherent – you would think Palin was speaking in tongues.

The truth is liberals are furious they won't have Sarah Palin to kick around anymore – at least not with Palin's hands tied behind her back by her public office.

Something tells me Keith Olbermann isn't going to be pulling any big numbers this summer attacking Eric Cantor and Michele Bachmann. I don't anticipate any sudden outbreaks of "Mitch McConnell Derangement Syndrome."

Soon we'll only hear about Keith when his creepy e-mails using his mother's death to hit on chicks start making the rounds again. (Tip to Keith: When a girl refuses to give you her phone number, her assistant's phone number or her personal e-mail address, and only gives you her assistant's e-mail address, you're not halfway in the sack.)

Bonus: If Olbermann gets canceled as a result of Palin's resignation, that will put her in a really good position for 2012.

But instead of being honest and saying, "Oh well, it was a good ride while it lasted," liberal chatterers indignantly demand: "Is this not the greatest betrayal a public servant ever committed against the people?"

On one hand, liberals are enraged at the heinousness of Mark Sanford – whom they didn't vote for – for not resigning and, on the other, they're enraged at Palin – whom they also didn't vote for – for resigning.

The peculiarly venomous hatred of Palin is driven by women of the left and their whipped consorts. All that needs to happen is for a feminist to overhear two Nation readers saying, "I hate to admit it, but Palin is kind of hot" and ...

WHAT??????????? YOU CALL THAT HOT? I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW WE'VE GOT A MEGA-SUPER HOTTIE IN DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. AND NEED I REMIND YOU AGAIN OF THE RAW SEX APPEAL OF RACHEL MADDOW?

Democrats are a party of women, and nothing drives them off their gourds like a beautiful Christian conservative. (How much money has that other beautiful born-again, Carrie Prejean, been forced to spend on lawyers to respond to liberal hysteria?)

So the motives are clear, but the money is not. Who is paying the rent for the losers filing all these frivolous complaints against Palin?

At least when Richard Mellon Scaife was funding investigations of Bill Clinton, we knew who Scaife was, he was an American citizen, and his money was accessible to U.S. tax authorities and not stashed in offshore accounts like a certain Hungarian Nazi-collaborator I can name.

How about some modern-day Scaife investigate the investigators? (End of article)

SARAH PALIN.....MIKE HUCKABEE.....SARAH PALIN.....MIKE HUCKABEE....WHAT A FORMIDABLE TICKET FOR 2012. PRAY ABOUT IT!

AND THE BATTLE RAGES

“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” (Genesis 1:28)

Folks, I have been challenged for the past couple of weeks as I have never been challenged before! I, along with the help of my daughter’s family, planted a fair size garden in the back yard this year, plus the usual plants in containers on the patio. All germinated well, God and I together have provided the adequate amount of moisture needed and Miracle Grow has supplemented additional nutrients needed for growth.

Everything was looking fine…and the squash, okra, eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, cantaloupe, and watermelon were lookin’ good! I went home from work one afternoon about 10 days ago to discover that an army of invaders had attacked with a vengeance! ALL of the leaves on my squash, okra and cucumbers, plus many on my beans, peppers, tomatoes, cantaloupe and watermelon, had been devoured by these marauding invaders!

Now I have no problems with SHARING my garden, but I got MAD (“anger” isn’t strong enough to convey my feelings) at their greediness and am waging an ALL OUT WAR to get at least a PORTION of the harvest! (Thus far, I have harvested two “messes” of white halfrunner beans; they were delicious, but “man cannot live by green beans alone – he must have tomatoes and cucumbers”.)

Now, realizing that God created the animals, too, I don’t want to destroy them; so I have waged war to bring them under MY dominion as God has given me the authority to do! Am exploring lots of “safe” deterrents, both for the animals and us humans.

Any ideas?

WHERE IS GOD WHEN IT RAINS?

Picture this!

The place: Wilson's Creek Historic Battlefield, 12 miles west of Springfield, MO.

The event: A Civil War Reenactment Weekend.

The crowd: Hundreds of participants, with thousands predicted to attend.

The WEATHER FORECAST: Rain, rain, more rain. Thunder, lightning, storms. More rain.

WHAT TO DO? "Go ahead as planned--it rained during the Civil War; if THEY survived, so can we!"

And with that determination, the show went on that weekend, a great tribute to history and the memory of some brave men, both North and South.

Picture this!

The place: Anywhere on Planet Earth.

The event: Your life.

The crowd: A watching world of family, friends and enemies--and the enemy of your soul, lurking around the corner too!

The WEATHER FORECAST: rain, thunder, lightning--storms that umbrellas don't shield from; mud that does more than soil your clothing; situations over which we have no control......

WHAT TO DO? WHERE IS GOD?

1) He's STILL here...with you in the storm, watching over you and yours. He'll never forsake you.

(2) He's STILL there...wherever the situation lies, however bleak or hopeless...He remains.

(3) He's STILL everywhere overseeing all the storms--floods, tornados, hurricanes and earthquakes of our lives. He reigns as King forevermore; He rides the storms--and He'll bring you through!

So "Go ahead as planned"...God is with you. He will see you through. He's with you today--and tomorrow--and the next day--EVEN in the rain!

Believe it--now march straight ahead--singin' in the storm, splashin' through the mud, dashin' through the drops, and have a great day!
