The Vail Spot: Palin's Speech to Susan B. Anthony List

Nemo me impune lacessit

No one provokes me with impunity

Article 1, Section 9, Constitution of the United States

If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...

Palin's Speech to Susan B. Anthony List

For almost 2 years now...the mains stream press has been exoriating Mrs. Palin as being a "right-wing" nut...unfortunately, for them, this is far from true. As Mathew Continetti points out in a short piece in the Weekly Standard, many of her views are shared widely by middle class Americans,

Palin's positions are widely shared. She opposes the health care law -- so does the public. She's concerned about the federal deficit -- so is the public (see question 10b). She supports the Arizona illegal immigration law -- so does the public. She supports the right to life -- and the public is moving toward her. She supports the Afghanistan surge and the current course in Iraq -- both Obama administration policies.
