Noonan asks: 'What is the purpose of Palin's ambition?'

[seafan]

Peggy Noonan:

.....

But we have seen Mrs. Palin on the national stage for seven weeks now, and there is little sign that she has the tools, the equipment, the knowledge or the philosophical grounding one hopes for, and expects, in a holder of high office. She is a person of great ambition, but the question remains: What is the purpose of the ambition? She wants to rise, but what for? .....

What is Palin's ambition?

She is the trojan horse for the radical Religious Right to gain ultimate control over America. She is the hood ornament on the armed tank of the Christian Radical Right as it pushes over every living thing in its path to take omnipotent power over America for "their God".

She is the fruition of decades of effort to radicalize into a religious America, by salting the earth with theocratic ideologists, brought in at the level of school boards, city councils, mayors, sheriffs, state representatives, governors... relentlessly pushing, shoving, forcing their way into power, ever grasping for the pinnacle of the Presidency. Only then will their coup achieve orgasm.

Religious fundamentalism is the most dangerous internal threat America faces. The American Taliban.




















Bachmann says she's "Hot" for God!"




Why Is Palin Such a Good Liar For God?



The American Taliban, Ms. Noonan, is her ambition. It's closer than we think.


Unless we stop it.

1. I wonder how many jobs are controlled by people who give them to

family, friends and friends of friends all in the name of "Jesus", i.e. their church.

11. Quite a few in Wasilla, it appears.

Half a century after Alaska became a state, Ms. Palin was inaugurated as governor in Fairbanks and took up the reformer’s sword.

.....

As she assembled her cabinet and made other state appointments, those with insider credentials were now on the outs. But a new pattern became clear. She surrounded herself with people she has known since grade school and members of her church.

2. Peggy has been surprising me recently. After her open mike

oopsie after the Pub convention, I figured she would go back to being a good little Pubbie, but she hasn't had a good thing to say about McNuts/Palin since then! I know she's still a Reagan girl, but as far as I can remember, she's been a Bushie too.

7. I'm sure it offends her and other female Republican leaders

that someone without an ounce of experience or knowledge gets the express pass to national office because of cultural forces. God forbid If McCain were to win, I, too, can think of a dozen Republican women I'd rather see at his side than Palin's empty hose.

3. Yep - she's the pin-up girl of Christo-Facsism!

5. Christo-Facsism AKA Tali-Born-Again!

4. Gee, Peggy - No kidding??

Wow. I'm shocked, really shocked.

It must have taken a long time to arrive at this keen insight.:sarcasm:

8. Yes, that and her support of the Alaskan Independence Party objectives.

If you have watched the video I have linked here, the Vice Chairman of the AIP states emphatically that Sarah Palin was a member of their party. He goes on to say (paraphrasing) that although she is now a registered Republican, that's OK, because that's how we get our members elected to office. So to me she is working for the AIP. Her remarks in 2008 to the AIP further reinforces her connection to the AIP.
