There sure are a lot of people in the MSM, on the Left, and some on the right that can't seem to comprehend that Sarah Palin considers her family more important than politics.<br /><br />I thought her speech was very clear. Her priority is her family, and she realizes as Governor she will also be subject to far more than the litigation she has currently gone through, and although she has been exonerated each time, she still must pay for her own defense, with no help expected from any GOP organizations, because lets face it, she ain't and wasn't the typical politician.<br /><br />Which brings up apathy, which Palin mentioned. Apathy, along with other factors like bad education, no distorted history, the MSM, etc., is one of the main reasons we have Zero and the most transparentless and corrupt Congress in history doin' all they can to destroy liberty.<br /><br />Now, that will probably change as folks realize how much of a liar Obama is (especially when they get hit in the wallet hard, and, if Zerocare is passed, stand in very long lines to receive mediocre, state run medical care...if approved by the state that is.<br /><br />In the meantime, Sarah Palin can do much more behind the scenes and as a citizen rather than a politician.<br />Personally, I'm happy for her and her family. Who needs all this political crap and unending attacks on her family (without precedent I might add) when she has gotten non-existent help from the GOP leadership?<br /><br />Anyhow, the MSM/Left (among others) will be speculating about all the "hidden" meanings of her speech for quite some time. <br /><br />Bob is right: The dorks just don't comprehend it...even horizontally speaking. A bunch of cluelesside conisewers. <br /><br />Happy Independence Day everyone! :^)USS Ben USN (Ret)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07492369604790651538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-68774812993237313202009-07-03T21:53:21.101-07:002009-07-03T21:53:21.101-07:00ps.

Ironically, it is always the higher parts that support the lower. You may say the world has been left hanging. Or perhaps we are seeing reality upside down, and God actually placed himself at the bottom, upholding all things?Magnus Itlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18445902788427523461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-43299136091557772452009-07-03T12:01:46.718-07:002009-07-03T12:01:46.718-07:00But again, these are not two different worlds.

Rather, it is more like one world with two ends -- more a way to think about reality than reality itself: "Though there is a distinction, there is no dualism between the natural and supernatural world. The spiritual world is not another world set apart from the natural world. It intermingles and coexists with, and constitutes the invisible dimension of, the natural world.""<br /><br />The moderns tend to mistake their "way to think about reality" for "reality itself", forgetting that analysis itself, breaking down, is an intellectual exercise for the purpose of discovering the nature of the whole, not for the purpose of asserting that the whole doesn't exist. They'll do the equivalent of taking a ball, splitting it in half and saying "Clearly a ball can be divided in two equal halves. These halves cannot bounce. Therefore the sentimental notion that balls are One, undivided, and capable of bouncing, is an outmoded fiction"... which is why leftists have no balls.Van Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470413719262297062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-90929942108604056222009-07-03T09:23:29.720-07:002009-07-03T09:23:29.720-07:00"Without leaving his house, he knows the whol..."Without leaving his house, he knows the whole world.<br />Without looking out of his window,<br />he sees the ways of heaven".<br /><br />Wait a minute, I thought those were lyrics by George Harrison...well close anyway. :)<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhHm-5lKkZ0&feature=relatedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-31137617342467397222009-07-03T08:41:45.852-07:002009-07-03T08:41:45.852-07:00Well, I'm afraid we're in for it, independ...Well, I'm afraid we're in for it, independence- and dependence-lovers alike.
