DANIELLE CRITTENDEN describes a speech by Sarah Palin in Ontario. She writes:
If you tried to parse it, you couldn&#8217;t. There was not a single memorable line, not a single new political idea, not a single proffered solution beyond the cliché of &#8220;needing new solutions.&#8221; And when the moderator &#8220;opened the floor to questions,&#8221; guess what?

Sarah Palin isn&#8217;t against big government. She isn&#8217;t anti-abortion in any politically meaningful sense. She isn&#8217;t a foe of feminist entitlement.  And she isn&#8217;t very bright. What is she? In the words of Newark Star-Ledger columnist Paul Mulshine, Palin &#8220;is not so much a political figure as a sort of national fertility symbol.&#8221;

The former Alaska governor has long ceased to [...]]]></description>

THE DEMOCRATS could have their health care reform. They could summon the votes if they abandoned the hope of government-funded abortion. Why don&#8217;t they concede on an issue ancillary to the goal of nationalized medicine?
On the Stupak amendment, Lawrence Auster writes:
It&#8217;s fascinating that the campaign to nationalize health care, which Stupak otherwise supports, is crashing in a heap because most [...]]]></description>

JOHN LOFTON, a former Republican advisor who hosts the American View radio show, attended a question-and-answer session with Maryland lawmakers and grilled them on their understanding of the Constitution and oath of office. The ensuing exchanges are a disturbing glimpse into a mad, mad, mad, mad world.

AS I&#8217;VE SAID before, Sarah Palin, for all her enthusiasm and charm, is a feminist who lacks the intelligence, character and principles to be president. The blogger Stag Heath has a very witty description of the possibility of Palin running against Obama in 2012:
 

They are the “dream team” we’ve been collectively calling forth for the last forty years. Ever [...]]]></description>

There is little doubt at this point that Sarah Palin is running for president. But she is more than an aspiring candidate.  Palin is the spiritual leader of  Desperate America. That is not to say she has no practical talents. She does, but these have very little to do with her appeal. Mystical fervor, born of desperation, is a [...]]]></description>
