Palin Will Run in ‘12 on More Retardation Platform

In Sarah Palin’s resignation announcement she complained about the treatment of her son Trig who always teaches her life lessons. She said that the “world needs more Trigs, not fewer.” That’s a presidential campaign promise we can all get behind. She will be the first politician to actually try to increase the population of retarded people. To me, it’s kinda like saying the world needs more cancer patients because they teach us such personal lessons.

Her first act as President: To introduce a Pre-K lunch buffet that includes lead paint chips. Sort of a Large HEAD-START Program.

She will then encourage women to hold off on pregnancies until their 40’s just to mix up some chromosomes.

She now is in favor of abortion only in case of diploid birth.

Her policies will increase jobs because Wal-Mart is building new stores each day and someone has to be the greeter.

This will lead to smaller government because fewer Americans will have the cognitive ability to hold a government job.

Look, she says she’s resigning as governor because people are making attacks on her and Trig. If she ever did become president, all Osama bin Laden would have to do to defeat the United States is Photoshop a picture of Trig and she’d surrender the country that night. As she said, “That’s not politics as usual.” It isn’t. Politicians don’t usually quit for so stupid of reasons.

I think the author of this post, Erik Sean Nelson, and the Huffington Post are just trying to catch up to Andrew Sullivan’s daily attacks on Sarah Palin and her children.

Or, it could really be that Liberals are truly despicable and dishonorable, and do not understand courage, honesty, and nobility. However, Sarah Palin displays the latter virtues by resigning her Governorship in order to protect her children from the press. Even after President Obama declared children off-limits during the Presidential campaign, the LEFT do not hear their lord’s commandment. Yet, Liberals have the diabolical fortitude to attack a mentally handicapped child with Down Syndrome. Do Liberals not realize their callousness - nay, their sin - or do they just not care?

Liberals are heartless. This is another example of their treachery.

Sarah Palin will not seek second term as Alaska Governor!

Breaking News…

Developing…

UPDATE 1: CNN.com

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is expected to announce Friday that she will not seek a second term, three sources tell CNN.

Palin has scheduled a 3 p.m. ET news conference at her home in Wasilla. The governor’s office offered no further details about the subject of the news conference, but the sources tell CNN that Palin will announce her decision to forgo another run.

“She thinks she has accomplished goals she has set forward,” one of the sources, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said. “She sees what a positive influence she has had on people’s lives from traveling the country in the last year.”

As the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, Palin is considered one of the frontrunners for the GOP nomination in 2012. Her decision not to seek another term as governor is sure to stoke speculation that Palin is seriously eyeing a run for the White House.

She has my vote.

UPDATE 2: breitbart.tv

KTVA: At an 11:00 a.m. press conference today, Governor Sarah Palin announced that she would not seek a second term as governor. The governor continued saying in a few weeks she would resign the governorship. On a day that most public employees have off, Palin sent out an early morning press release indicating that she would be giving an announcement from her home in Wasilla. Joining Palin were her parents, family and state commissioners.

Wow! A resignation as well?

UPDATE 3: breitbart.com

WASILLA, Alaska (AP) - Spokesman: Sarah Palin is resigning as Alaska governor on July 26.

I am just speculating, but there could be a deeper story behind the resignation.

UPDATE 4: breitbart.com

WASILLA, Alaska (AP) - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin made a surprise announcement Friday that she is resigning from office at the end of the month without explaining why she plans to step down, raising speculation that she would focus on a run for the White House in the 2012 race.

The former Republican vice presidential candidate hastily called a news conference Friday morning at her home in suburban Wasilla, giving such short notice that only a few reporters actually made it to the announcement. State troopers blocked late-arriving media outside her home, and her spokesman, Dave Murrow, finally emerged to confirm that Palin will step down July 26. He refused to give details about the governor’s future plans.

“Once I decided not to run for re-election, I also felt that to embrace the conventional Lame Duck status in this particular climate would just be another dose of politics as usual, something I campaigned against and will always oppose,” Palin said in a statement released by her office.

Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell will be inaugurated at the governor’s picnic in Fairbanks at the end of the month, Murrow said.

Good luck in your future endeavors, Sarah.

Michael Jackson appeared healthy in a video clip — obtained by CNN — of his rehearsal two nights before he died.

AEG, promoter of Jackson’s planned London shows, released the short video of Jackson rehearsing on a stage in the Staples Center arena on June 23, 2009.

Jackson sang “They Don’t Care About Us” — a song from Jackson’s “HIStory” album — as he danced along with eight male dancers.

The Staples Center will also be the site of Jackson’s memorial service, which is scheduled for Tuesday at the 20,000-seat Los Angeles coliseum, according to a person briefed by a family representative.

No other details have been revealed about the service.

Michael looks good.

Damn, those were going to be great concerts at the 02 Arena.

“While such missiles are routinely tested by the North Koreans, they raised speculation that North Korea might launch a long-range ballistic missile in defiance of a United Nations ban” ARTICLE

Be careful North Korea because the UN and maybe even Barrack Obama might “ask you nicely” to not launch any more missiles. There’s even an outside chance they might raise their voice!

1. Jew-hatred has deep historic roots in the movement. Karl Marx, who came from a Jewish family that converted to Christianity, was a raving anti-Semite. “What is the Jew’s foundation in our world? Material necessity, private advantage,” Marx wrote. Also: “What is the object of the Jew’s worship? Usury. What is his worldly god? Money.” Marx’s hatred of Jews went beyond the class struggle. He described Polish Jews as “the smarmiest of races,” called his opponent, Ferdinand Lassalle, a “Jewish Nig—” and disclosed that the Ramsgate section of London was “full of Jews and fleas.”

2. The left is anti-capitalism – Accurate or not, there’s a longstanding identification of Jews with capitalism – going back at least to the Rothschilds. This is bolstered by Jewish success in business and the professions. Judaism and later Christianity, validated private property honestly acquired and material progress. Islam doesn’t share this perspective, which is why wealth in the Muslim world is acquired (from oil), not earned. This also explains leftist compatibility with Islam.

3. The left is obsessed with equality – The left finds the idea of a “chosen people” (in reality, chosen to advance certain values) wholly repugnant. In Israel, the Jews succeeded where others of the region have failed since ancient times. For the left, this can’t be due to unique talents or God’s plan, but exploitation – another charge against the Jews from the Romans to the Bolsheviks to the Nazis. On the same basis, the left has decided that American preeminence in the post-war world must be due not to our talents, entrepreneurship or democracy, but to exploitation.

4. The left loves conspiracy theories – Oliver Stone, Michael Moore, the Kennedy assassination nuts, energy prices set by oil companies, foreign policy run behind the scenes by industrialists – the left insists that dark and sinister forces manipulate world events, making them susceptible to the longest-running conspiracy theory of all: the International Jewish Conspiracy, which blames “the Jews,” for wars, depressions, economic downturns and the common cold. The distance isn’t that great between multinational corporations running the world and “international Jewry” dominating world events.

5. The left equates Jews with Israel – With all of the tyranny in the world – especially in the neighborhood Israel inhabits – the left has made the region’s one democracy (the only nation to give away territory acquired in wars forced on it), the unique focus of its ire. In 2006-2007, the neo-Marxists who run the UN General Assembly couldn’t find time to comment on Darfur, but condemned Israel on 22 separate occasions. There was a time when the left insisted you could be anti-Zionist without being anti-Semitic. Increasingly, neo-Marxists are forced to conclude that because “them Jews” support Israel (along with most Americans and evangelical Christians) there must be something inherently wrong with members of the tribe. Thus anti-Israel morphs easily to anti-Jew.

6. Solidarity with the Muslim world – It seems counter-intuitive, but the self-avowed secularists of the left embrace Islamacist theocrats, who find the former’s social positions appalling. Muslims fit neatly into the left’s division of humanity into exploited and exploiters, imperialists and subjugated peoples. Israel is seen as an extension of European imperialism, the continuation of centuries of Western domination. In solidarity with their allies in the Moslem world, the left is at the very least willing to tolerate the anti-Semitism of Hamas, Hezbollah, the Palestinian Authority, Syria and Iran (all viewed as revolutionary movements or regimes), but increasingly prone to indulge in the age-old evil itself.

7. The left is at war with God – From its inception during the French Revolution, the left has seen religion as the primary impediment to the realization of its utopian dreams. Christianity is indicted as the principal support for capitalism, the “patriarchal family,” misogyny and homophobia. Without Judaism, there would be no Christianity – and, by extension, no America, a reality which hasn’t escaped leftist totalitarians, from Marx and Lenin to Hitler and Hugo Chavez. Der Fuhrer (who also blamed the Jews for “inventing” Christianity) believed that if he killed enough Jews, he would ultimately kill the God of Israel.

I only posted part of the article. The rest of the article details how President Carter, President Obama, James von Brunn, Reverend Jeremiah A. Wright, Pat Oliphant, and Hugo Chavez are highly anti-Semitic.

Scoop This featured a New Majority article detailing how Hugo Chavez attacks Jews in Venezuela, and how President Obama approves of Chavez’s methods by re-establishing ties between both countries.

No more news coming out of Iran, CNN?

Michael Jackson accidentally killed himself while trying to become sick enough to cancel upcoming concerts, a prominent author claims.

Author Gerald Posner, who also writes for The Daily Beast, claims that a top member of the pop singer’s entourage told him that Jackson wanted to cancel several shows without having to pay out his touring company.

According to the adviser, who was not named in the report, Jackson intentionally took a large amount of prescription drugs to induce a trip to hospital.

“Like a child who doesn’t want to go to school… Michael thought he could get away from his obligations if he had a ‘note from the doctor’,” the adviser reportedly said.

Jackson’s contract with the company handling the 50-show tour stated that if the singer canceled any concert, he would have to pay a penalty to the promoters, according to The Daily Beast.

But most contracts have a medical infirmity clause, whereby if a performer is hospitalized no penalty needs to be paid.

It was also reported that at least six other sources supported the claim that Jackson was looking for ways to reduce the number of concerts.

This is a plausible theory.

However, if Michael Jackson really wanted to fake an illness, the best possible route would have been to perform the first show, then claim “dehydration”, or some other form of exhaustion.

To cleanse the palate, an unnerving reminder that not all of Michael’s weirdness was a mystery. Tales of Joe Jackson’s brutality towards his kids are legendary, but it’s one thing to read ab More..out it and another to see the callousness in action. Granted, we all grieve differently, but most parents are capable of saying a few kind words about a dead child without needing a spokesman to step in and read a prepared statement. Stick with it until around 3:20 to see Papa Jax use his moment of bereavement to promote his new record label, notwithstanding the fact that he’s (a) 80 years old, (b) must already be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and (c) received an order from an L.A. probate court today granting him and his wife guardianship over Michael’s kids (and their bequests, natch). Who better than an elderly, greedy, alleged child abuser to be given custody?

What a heartless bastard.

Sources tell TMZ an extremely dangerous and potent drug used for surgical anesthesia was found at Michael Jackson’s house after he died.

We’re told the drug Propofol was discovered at the residence. The drug is used to put people under anesthesia before surgery. It is an extremely powerful drug that is only available to medical personnel. As one source said, “There is no conceivable way this drug can be properly prescribed for home use.”

The drug can only be administered with an IV. Interestingly, Propofol burns and the drug Lidocaine is used to reduce the pain associated with the Propofol injection. As we first reported, Lidocaine was found near Jackson’s body.

One of the major side-effects of Propofol is cardiac arrest if it’s taken in combination with narcotic painkillers, however, Propofol is so powerful it can stop someone’s heart on its own.

A registered nurse has come out and said Jackson begged her for the drug Diprivan — the brand name for Propofol. She says he needed it for insomnia but she declined to supply it.

Sources say the drug is so inappropriate and reckless for home use, if a doctor facilitated it for Jackson, he or she could be prosecuted for manslaughter.

Scoop This speculated on Friday, June 26 that involuntary manslaughter could be a possible charge against anyone that mistreated Michael Jackson’s physical condition.

TMZ.com is also reporting that the LAPD are interested in talking to Michael Jackson’s dermatologist, Dr. Arnold Klein.

Democrats and Liberals not showing respect during the Pledge Of Allegiance?

No surprise there…
