Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Paranormal embellishment.
Looks like phil is fully engaged in paranormal embellishment (saw that somewhere and thought it fits).
One needs a whole lot of feeling and phantasm to come up with silly statements like phil.
Don’t want to engage the pheeling phil, only to point out that two cabins and a large shop for snowmobiles don’t make middle of nowhere into a metropolis.
How one equates that with hypocrisy is devoid of logic, however it make phil feel good, go for it.
when the city relies on property taxes
You are conflating a rural assessment not town or city, which says she has been assessed for zero taxes on the rural buildings, with Sarah Palin’s tax forms.
You haven’t seen Sarah Palins tax forms have you, phil?
Do you know Alaskan property tax law?
Probably not.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Alaskan land were taxed, but private rural development isn’t if no government services are delivered to the property.
Alaska is like that, they want to encourage people to move there and develop.
The MSM went over Sarah Palin with a microscope in 2008 and found nothing to smear her with.
That assessment service is in the public domain.
The MSM would have seen the assessment for 2006, 2007, 2008.
You have neither proof that she even owed taxes on her rural property nor proof didn’t pay any taxes if they were owed.
In short, you have baselessly slandered Sarah Palin, phil.

Ouch, sorry, that was bad.
It was the middle one.
Re: reagan
he was nominally a registered dem until ’62, but he became publically a conservative at least as early as ’52. And many dems in the forties were conservatives especially in california texas and in Dixie. So saying forty years isn’t as far off the mark as it might seem.
2. Reagan was actually as pretty weak manager – too lassiz faire esp. In the second term. His strength was his rock hard set of values and his intellegence and distillation of those values that made unparalelled in his ability to communicate those values.
Oz: If somebody expresses the opinion that Sarah Palin doesn’t have what it takes to be President, that doesn’t make him a liberal. What a foolish thing to imply!
I’m with Old Lori. I like Palin but don’t think she has what it takes to be POTUS — more so after watching her interview with Chris Wallace this morning on Fox News Sunday.
The comparisons of Palin with Reagan and Thatcher that we read from commenters on SDA from time to time have little foundation and are based on superficial arguments (to put it as mildly as I can).
Gordon Tulk, if we stipulate the starting point of Ronald Reagan’s “conservatism” at 52 that is still only 29 years not 40.
But being a conservative member of the Democrat Party and being a conservative activist are not the same thing, so I’m going with conservative activist since 1962, wich is only 19 years.
Nice try though, Gordon.
You are conflating a rural assessment not town or city, which says she has been assessed for zero taxes on the rural buildings, with Sarah Palin’s tax forms.
No, she has declared the value of buildings on her property at $0.00 when clearly the value is substantially higher. That’s fraud.
Now I typed that really, really slowly so that even the retarded could grasp it, so there may be hope for lev ans oz. sda nation, your idol has feet of clay.
ET: “He is unable to interact with people without his teleprompter; that’s why they’ve stopped all press Q&A meetings since July.”
But it doesn’t explain why he did a Q&A with the Republicans a week ago without the aid of his teleprompter. Just saying.
Incidentally, pointing this out doesn’t make me a liberal.
//Ms. Palin has also enlisted a small team of policy counselors to guide her through the substantive areas in which many deemed her to be lacking in 2008….//
But the real entertainment came during the post-speech Q&A, when Palin fielded a few “pre-screened, pre-selected” questions. She was asked what Congress’s top three priorities should be, if “conservatives” retake the majorities in both chambers. She said lawmakers’ priorities should be to (1) cut federal spending, though she didn’t say where, (2) adopt a conservative energy policy, and (3) turn to “our creator.” Seriously.
This was the third part of her answer, verbatim: “I think, kind of tougher to, um, put our arms around, but allowing America’s spirit to rise again by not being afraid to kind of go back to some of our roots as a God fearing nation where we’re not afraid to say, especially in times of potential trouble in the future here, where we’re not afraid to say, you know, we don’t have all the answers as fallible men and women so it would be wise of us to start seeking some divine intervention again in this country, so that we can be safe and secure and prosperous again. To have people involved in government who aren’t afraid to go that route, not so afraid of the political correctness that you know — they have to be afraid of what the media said about them if they were to proclaim their alliance on our creator.”
For those keeping track, the first part of that answer was a 100-word run-on sentence.

Quite right. He had the Republicans in the palm of his hand.
And what did quittercheater Palin have in the palm of her hand at the tea bagger lovefest?
I like Palin but don’t think she has what it takes to be POTUS.~mj
Please tell me “what it takes” to be POTUS and then tell me why, with examples from Sarah Palin’s record, why she doesn’t have “what it takes.”
Thank you in advance, mj.
p.s. I didn’t say old Lori, was a Liberal for saying that Sarah Palin “didn’t have what it takes”, but she certainly seems to be bereft of examples for why she might reasonably hold that opinion other than age bigotry.
–For those keeping track, the first part of that answer was a 100-word run-on sentence.
~dizzy
Sarah Palin’s “100 word run-on sentence” was given orally not written, yes?
So what you are saying is that the people who transcribed her oral response punctuated it to make it look like a 100 word run-on sentence.
Nothing new here.
old Lori – just how old are you? I challenged you to justify your comparison of Palin to Chairman O. You still haven’t done that. Instead you spout numbers on Reagan and you’re totally out in “left” field on that.
I think you’re basing your opinion on her like many “liberated” women. You’re afraid of her. She threatens many women because she is bright, strong, capable and likeable.
Imagine that – a woman who has it all. Pretty scary huh?
He(Obama) had the Republicans in the palm of his hand.
~phil
I saw a section of that session.
When the Republicans laughed at his claim to not being an ideologue, my image of Obama wasn’t quite that he had them in the palm of his hand.
Interpretations do vary.
Tax cheat?
Surely then, the Obamination must have some position to appoint her to…
the chief executive need not be the “best and the brightest”. chief executives, in business or government, are successful when they are clear on their beliefs and objectives. This allows them to DELEGATE authority which in turn allows the business at hand to get done. In the military it is called staff work: the general decides the overall thrust of the campaign and the staff officers sweat the details of what units need to be moved where, how much material needs to be supplied, etc.
Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Reagan, Churchill (during wartime) and Thatcher did this and were successful. They also recognized when something was not working and took action to get it back on the rails. LBJ, Nixon, Carter, Joe Clark and Mulroney became bogged down in the details because they didn’t really know what they wanted other than they wanted to in charge.
So far, Obama has delegated everything but as he is unclear on his objectives, those to whom he delegated the work have made a complete cock-up of the show. I predict Obama will start getting involved in the details to “rescue” his administration but as he still is unclear as to his goals other than to be in charge it will bog down.
From what I read of Palin’s chief exeutive stints, she is clear on her objectives and does delegate the details. Given her political smarts, she has the potential to be a solid POTUS.
If the “tax cheat” comment is in reference to any of Palin’s property in Wasilla, then it is an outright lie. There are NO property tax levies in Wasilla because all municipal finances are gleaned from a municipal sales tax.Anyone who has taken the time to read her book should be aware of that fact.
As much as I like and admire Palin, I think it would be premature for her to run as a POTUS candidate in 2012. I personally think she needs a term or two in the senate to gain some further knowledge and experience at the federal level. After that, go for it!!
This calculation is rather challenging to me. Subtractin 1962 from 1981, placing it beside, above, below, somehow wont make 40.
old Lori, help me out.
Thanks

heh…. brain fart. My bad. Doing too many things at once.
Rest of the discussion stands, though. You can’t compare Palin’s experience to Reagan’s. That’s just laughable.
The resolution of conflict between competing interests and ideas is probably the most important role of a leader like the president.
~old Lori
Please demonstrate with an example why, in your opinion old Lori, you think Sarah Palin has come up short in this “most important role”.
I’d like a good laugh.
Thank you in advance.
If the “tax cheat” comment is in reference to any of Palin’s property in Wasilla, then it is an outright lie.
If it was, it may be, but of course it refers to her property in Petersville, 100 miles away by road.
phil
Typical, hate-filled, ignorant, liberal. Nothing to add to the discussion but bile and vitriol. What a sad excuse for a human being.
Sarah Pallin scared the hell outa the “progressives” instantly……because they instinctively recognized her merits….a species of left-handed endorsement. (perhaps a pun)
Sorta funny…despite Phil’s, oh so obvious, trolling—-for all practical terms he is more principled than “old lori”.
Phil makes his political position clear and unambiguous.
“old lori” begins by declaring herself a conservative and then proceeds to espouse the same crap as Phil.
In my books Phil is a lefty troll but old lori is a lefty super troll.
Matanuska-Susitna borough tax assessment link has been posted above by yourself, phil.
Sarah and Todd Palin were assessed no taxes on the buildings by the borough itself.
You think that the borough doesn’t know that they have development on the property?
You and your ilk had better let them know, then.
How is it that Sarah is a tax cheat?
Here is a link to Alaska tax law.

~sasquatch
old Lori appears to be a “concern troll”.
That is a troll who poses as a conservative but has unspecified unexplainable concerns about why some situation or personage is not doable or acceptable.
No examples of why, it just is.
Feeeelings, woa, woa, woa, feelings./off Barbara Streisand
A sound example of why Sarah Palin can’t consistently “resolve conflict between competing interests and ideas” or “doesn’t have what it takes” after explaining what exactly it takes in the first place might change my mind about old Lori.
Old Lori – You can hardly describe your postings as “discussion”. You make assersions but don’t back them up with any substantive points. You put forth “substantiations” on Reagan and they are proveably false.
“You can’t compare Palin’s experience to Reagan’s. Just who is making that comparison? But if that comparison is laughable then your comparison of Chairman O’s experience to Palins is surely ludicrous.
It’s been suggested that she’s in it for the money.
Her financial position has certainly gotten rosier since she was picked as the VP candidate.
Well … good for her.
There’s nothing wrong with doing well by doing good: it’s the quintessential American way.
The USA is a better place for having Sarah Palin as a part of it.
records show that Sarah Palin hasn’t paid any property taxes on cabins that have been built on two backcountry plots partially owned by the former Alaska governor.
There are no tax assessments for the two-story, house-sized cabins, a workshop and a sauna spotted Thursday in an aerial survey. Property taxes totaling $156.13 were paid on the land in 2009 — but that bill did not include anything for the structures because the local assessor didn’t know about the new construction nearly 100 miles north of Anchorage.
The issue has attracted the attention of local tax officials who conducted the scheduled aerial survey of properties in the area on Thursday. The area is accessible only by floatplane, snowmobile or four-wheeler.
Dave Dunivan, the assessor for the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, said such a survey had not been done there in five years, before construction started on the cabins.

Right. Let’s see you try to punctuate it. Calling it a sentence at was probably wrong. It’s actually a gushing torrent of verbigeration.
And as you say, “nothing new”
mj – Obama didn’t do a valid Q7A with the Republicans.
The pre-session agreement was that NO follow up questions were allowed; that is, the Republicans were only allowed to ‘ask a question’..and Obama then pontificated for ten minutes. His misinformation, his outright lies, his deviations…could not be confronted. No follow-up questions allowed. No requests to deal with the lies, the evasions.
phil – what are you talking about: cheat notes? Kindly explain.
old lori – you can’t equate Einstein to Franklin and Jefferson. There’s no analogy. Einstein was a nuclear scientist; Franklin, a master of mechanical science; Jefferson a master of political structure. How can you compare or equate them? And to say that Einstein ‘had trouble holding a job’ is an ad hominem red herring.
I also disagree that ‘conflict management’ is the most important function of a POTUS. He’s not a social worker. He’s supposed to be a leader, committed to the well-being of his country and abiding by the constitution, and, representing the will of the people. Obama is failing because as an elitist and anti-American and relativist, he rejects all these agendas.
dizzy – your 100 word comment is irrelevant. She was giving an ORAL answer. Not writing a text. Oral communication doesn’t necessarily show the ‘periods’…except within pauses and emphases. So, what’s your point?
phil – could you substantiate your ‘tax cheat’ and ‘serial liar’?
With regard to ‘tax cheat’ that would be valid only if she was assessed for X-sum (as were members of Obama’s administration) and did not pay it. Is this the case?
As for ‘quitter’ that’s your subjective opinion. Frankly, you don’t seem to provide much beyond your subjective mindset.
Did you know that Obama quit his term as Senator? And that his indifference to his position as president (chief editor) of the Harvard Law Review meant that others had to step in and do all the work while he did nothing?
Are you aware that Obama is a pathological liar? He says whatever it takes to each audience to get them on His side. Doesn’t bother you, I’ll bet!
By the way, I’ll maintain that Obama is not, himself, an idealogue; that is, someone who has researched, analyzed and therefore follows an ideology. Obama is extremely ignorant of history, economics, science..everything, and is intellectually lazy and shallow. He is one thing only: a clinical pathological narcissist. Period.
His only agenda is to control others into a state of adulation. Immersing himself in the political left is a key tactic to achieve this goal. That’s because the left is an elitist ideology, setting itself up, with its statist goals of control over the unwashed ignorant people, as Governors, as Rulers, as the Only-Ones-Who-Know. And expecting the unwashed to obey. As Obama insists: ‘Just do as I say.’ So there.
But the people aren’t peasants, despite the leftist view that they are…and Palin is expressing their rebellion at the leftist hubris.

Welcome back, ET.
“Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin didn’t cage her answer when pressed Sunday morning as to whether she would consider a run for president in 2012.
“I would, I would if I believe that is the right thing to do for our country and the Palin family. Certainly I would do so,” she told “Fox News Sunday,” in an interview that was taped before she addressed a Tea Party convention the night before. “I think that it would be absurd to not consider what it is that I could potentially do to help our country … . I won’t close a door that perhaps could be open for me in the future.””

Hillary, how are those sleeping pills working out for you?
It’s been suggested that she’s in it for the money.Her financial position has certainly gotten rosier since she was picked as the VP candidate.
Unfortunately POK, it may well be. After her defeat as VP candidate, she was deluged with literally hundreds of lawsuits ( all dismissed eventually) that she and her family had to defend on their own dime. The MSM and her detractors had a heyday with it. The tolerant Left just about ruined the family financially.
Personally, I hope she prevails and has an opportunity to ram it up the collective assholes of the MSM-sideways.

______________________________________
ET – with regard to Ben Franklin, my understanding was that he made substantive contributions to the Revolution far beyond his role as a scientist. He was a diplomat who played a vital role in foreign relations, an editor, publisher and printer, the key proponent of the “taxation without representation” argument for the colonies, etc. He was one of the intellectual leaders, not just a mechanic.
The point about Einstein was made in response to a comment about geniuses in everyday life that had been raised earlier. I think it confused the issue and regret mentioning it.
And we will have to agree to disagree about the importance of conflict management in the role of the POTUS. An effective leader unifies people behind him/her, whether at the workplace, or at the town hall. We can agree that 0bama is a failure. You say it’s because of his elitism, narcicism, relativism, etc. I say he is failure because his elitism, narcicism, and relativism prevent him from reconciling opinions that differ from his own in a manner that an effective leader should. He seems to have no true compromise in him – just backing down when smelling defeat.
All successul politicians must at some point listen to their opponents and make some modification to some of their positions. This is a skill that comes with age and experience, and occasionally a few personal humiliations. Egomaniacs like 0bama can’t do this. I do not believe that Palin would do better. And that’s my personal opinion – based on my personal life experience and what I have seen of Palin so far.
Frankly, I think it’s a sad and telling comment on our society that grown adults use a term like “retard” in a derogatory manner – whether Emmanuel or Limbaugh does it.
Have things fallen so low that adults use a term that ridicules a genetic condition that the sufferers have no control over? There used to be basic decency that stopped people from making comments slamming innocent people who suffer from such misfortunes. Now all that’s gone, I guess.
No-one can claim it’s simply a matter of PC to refrain from making such statements. Again, it’s a matter of basic decency.
That goes for the multitude of posters on this site as well, who repeatedly use the term “leftards”.
In view of this, Palin’s verbal gymastics to justify Limbaugh’s use of the term, while she demands that Emmanuel be fired for it, shows that she does not possess this basic decency herself and sees the entire issue as a political football she can use. If it is wrong for Emanuel to use the term – and it is – it is wrong for Limbaugh to use it.
A case can be made that Limbaugh’s use of the term was worse given that he made it over public airwaves to millions of people, while Emanuel apparently used it in private conversation.
In refusing to condemn Limbaugh, Palin – in addition to revealing her own intellectual unfitness in her transparently nonsensical rationalization – betrays her very own child, refusing to condemn someone who maligns him, for the sake of sucking up to the great Limbaugh.
It shows how cynical she is – to her the whole issue is just something to use for political gain – even if that gain involves allowing her son to be insulted.
Why she even bothers is a mystery since 71% of the public doesn’t even want her to RUN for President, much less win.
Leave the social worky-conflict resolution stuff to the soft lefties. It’s the tough decision making and ‘cleaning-up’ that Palin is very adept at and proved so in her years as governor. She made enemies in the GOP because she had to clean up their mess in Alaska. Makes you wonder who wanted her less in Washington?
Read the book.
And don’t foget: her book was analysed and scrutinised by those eleven oh-so-busy AP reporter/journalist/poodles and they couldn’t find any lies.
The GOP thought she was just eye candy, and treated her as such. When she was bold enough to step out of the box during the campaign, and speak without the permission of ‘headquarters’ they rebuked her.
Hence the title of her book,she was “Going Rogue”.
Limbaugh used the term retard in a satiric comment which referred to Emmanuel’s previous comment. And of course everyone jumped on it though for sure they knew he used it in satire.
phil – the reality is that Palin is not a tax cheat; her property assessment – and it’s the borough that does the assessments – has been paid, on time, and in full. The fact that buildings have been constructed – on her as well as other area lots – and the borough has not changed the assessment is up to the borough. Kindly stick to the facts and the world of reality rather than the fictional world.
Equally, IF that ‘hand’ with one-word (and I see you are a Huffington devotee) is not photoshopped but is true – and this has to be proven – so what? That’s not cheat notes! Those are key words (energy, tax cuts). Do you seriously consider that these are ‘cheat notes’?
Do you know what that term means? It means the formula of a problem, i.e., mathematical; or the answer to a problem, i.e., dates,content etc. But key words? What kind of informational content is contained in the word ‘energy’? Hmmm? Tell us.
Your hostility to Palin is obvious, but please, base your comments on facts. Otherwise, you present yourself as someone who comes to a conclusion based only on ignorance and emotional biases. Is that really a description of you?
Old Lori, I think you are being too tough on Sara as POTUS material. While some federal government time would be an asset, Palin isn’t without leadership qualities. Notice I said leadership and not management. Any ex-military person will tell you there is a difference between leaders and managers.
Have a read of her book and I think you will come away with a better insight of this much maligned person. Dare I agree with another commenter that a lot of women feel threatened by women in leadership roles.
btw, trolls don’t rate acknowledgment let alone a detailed response.
p.s. Saints by 6. Just sayin’
oh- and I’ve seen her interview on FOX for the tea party speech. Palin was waving her hands around and it was clear. NO WRITING.
The ideal American president would know a lot about the world, and not be very impressed.
But we are not eligible to run, so we’ll have to hope Palin brushes up on part one, since we can assume that she qualifies on part two.
Ignorance of the world may seem like a virtue to some Americans, and in some ways it is I suppose, except it helps to know what the bu**ers are up to and where they hide afterwards.
Nicole:
Limbaugh’s comment in full:
“Our political correct society is acting like some giant insult’s taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards,” Rush said, adding that Rahm’s meeting yesterday with advocates for the mentally handicapped was a “retard summit at the White House.”
Satirical? Limbaugh saying that Emanuel is right in calling Democrats “retards” because he believes Democrats are “retards” is satirical? There’s nothing remotely satirical about it: Limbaugh is using the word in a derogatory fashion exactly as Emanuel did.
Nicole, you merely call it ‘satirical’ because Palin herself did on the Wallace show today.
Before that, though, she had a different viewpoint as expressed through her spokesperon Meghan Stapleton:
“Governor Palin believes crude and demeaning name calling at the expense of others is disrespectful.”
She walked it back today realizing she did not DARE criticize Limbaugh – even when he mocks the very condition her son suffers from!
Thank God 71% of Americans know Palin is unfit for office, so that such a characterless, cowardly, lying betrayer of her own flesh and blood will never come close to wielding power.
“71% of Americans know Palin is unfit for office”
Big deal. 95% of Americans KNOW that Obama is unfit for office but they are stuck with him for another 3 years.
ET,I think you watched the wrong interview. I was referring to the other softball interview at the teabag convention Q&A session itself, not the puff piece with Chris Wallace.
In the context of Palin criticizing Obama for reading from a teleprompter (and what pol doesn’t) and then attempting to surreptitiously look to her ink stained palm reeks of hypocrisy and dishonesty. If you think it’s fine that she referred to notes then she should have openly had notes to refer to. But she wanted to falsely create the impression that she had a command of the issues that she clearly didn’t have, never did have, and never will have. Left to her own devices all she’s got is this gobbledygook word salad, full of verbosity signifying nothing.
The remoteness of her “cabins” requires owners to honestly declare the new construction on their property to the pertinent agency. By your logic, one who steals is not a thief until they get caught. She’s a cheat.
And really, you can’t deny she quit her position as governor to cash in on the ghost written book/Fox News gig gravy train.
Liar, quitter, tax cheat.

I agree with you, Sasquatch.
The fact that Sarah Palin is a beautiful woman with five children and a rugged, handsome husband; an unfeminized man who works in an oilfild, fishes, knows how to shoot a gun and also how diaper a baby makes less fortunate women feel envy, not admiration. Sad really.
I was at the pipeline meetings, here in the Yukon, when Peter Jenkins and John Ostashic invited the Alaska Delegation to the Yukon Legislature to discus the agreement. The Yukon government was mostly out of the loop because Foothills owned the pipeline corridor but it was an act for good will from both sides. Sitting in that Legislature, I had no idea who was who in the Alaska delegation but Governor Palin OWNED the room. She did not speak, her eyes and her demeanor spoke; she was curious and she was beautiful: inside and outside. Any person with a shred of intelligence knew instantly that she was no fool.
If women and men would look a little closer they would note that her beauty shines from her soul, she looks beautiful because she has nothing to hide and she does not hate: she does however, get even if an injustice has been done. Governor Palin is blessed with a fantastic memory (I have been told that she has a photographic memory); when she hears or reads about something or someone she remembers with photographic clarity.
She is what I call a lovely woman because she is a person that I would love to have for a friend.
Kkkkaty couric or Michelle 0; not so much…
I would vote for Sarah Palin, if she ran for President, in a heartbeat because she is trustworthy, she is intelligent, and she is not insecure. She likes the person that she is; Sarah reminds me of Winston Churchill and Prime Minister, Stephen Harper.
I love watching the angry left’s heads explode whenever Sarah Palin’s name is mentioned.
Even the possibility of her running for president gets them into gutter discussions.
Name-calling and personal attacks have never been a substitute for intelligent debate but hey, if name-calling and a machine-gun list of accusations makes anybody believe they’re intelligent, bring it on.
Hey Joe
You say 91% of Americans disapprove of Obama?
Any facts to back that up?
According to polls I’ve read, 56% approve of Obama.
That’d be over double the number who approved of Bush at the end of his term, dude (22%). 🙂
phil be the liar, hate-monger, and blowhard – anti-conservative female hater, with no brain, and dread in his bile filled soul – he cheats at everything, including his writing
marquis, Maobama is 0 for 3 in the last elections he’s backed. How’s THAT for the support of the people? And 73% of americans are AGAINST his socialist healthcare plans… what was that you were saying about support?
Democrat senators are in a panic not to advance socialized healthcare further, as they’re petrified of a bloodbath this november, and rightly so. Your messiah will soon be a lame duck without his kleptocrat support in congress, eh? Oh, wait – he couldn’t pass socialzed medicine and cap/trade WITH supermajorities in both houses; guess he’s really a lame duck now, eh?
philltroll – considering the top guy at the IRS is an obama-appointed tax cheat, you and your pals should be experts on tax fraud, eh? However, ET is quite right in her comments to you above, if you had enough grey matter to comprehend. And with the left-leaning hordes appointed in the obama administration, if there were a shred of positive evidence sarah palin had defrauded the government, she’d be giving speeches behind a set of bars.
But that approach is typical to the leftrash, isn’t it, phil? You hate what you fear, and you denigrate, demonize and marginalize those you hate. Same tired old playbook, time and time again. You must have really got off reading Alinsky, eh?
Idiot.
