Yep, She REALLY Said It!

Annie, that woman has no real idea what she says or what she does! At this moment, I'm remembering the fish she was beating, on a boat, with some sort of big club ... I mean, if you've already got the fish in the boat, why beat viciously beat it ... the fish didn't appear to be killer WHALES or man eating!! I think the republican party "heads" no they cannot afford this woman! Even without her, they've failed to rebrand, even though those who voted gave them another opportunity to make good govering calls, they've failed in less than 2 months as "leaders" of the House ... WHERE ARE THE JOBS and all the spending cuts ... meager, painful cuts to those who are most needy, they've failed to be honest brokers and cut tax giveaways in the billions to those most wealthy! Once agein, epic failures!

I haven't seen anyone's responses, so what I'm saying now is my own opinion. I don't know if I'll be right or wrong with regard to how someone responds. But, I'm seeing the GOP, especially the far right Tea Party aspect of it, becoming more and more cult-like. Having been a member of a pseudo-Christian cult for 10 years, I'm seeing the similarities between them. Reliance on leadership to provide the answers to life's problems and to provide a prescribed solution to those problems; a dependence on those same leaders to the point of an unwillingness to act without their direct guidance; a perverted logic that says if what they're saying now differs from what they said then it's because what they said then was right for then and what they're saying now is right for now - therefore, there is no conflict and no reason to question their words; the idea that to question anything leadership says or does is a sign of deviance from the cause and justification for removal from the group; the idea that the groups members need not worry because the leadership will never lead them astray, that God is with them and that leadership will do all the thinking for them - don't worry their pretty little heads about any of it. Are there exceptions to both leaders and members? Absolutely - but they are rarely heard from or noticed since to make themselves visible would invite immediate chastisement and call for their removal (think Harry Reid and how his fellow Mormon church members view him). So, I'm going to venture that there will be a defense of her words and it will be very much that the two situations are different, that her words then were justified and her words now are justified and, yes, she is right in both cases. I think it's utterly frightening and not unlike the behavior that led to Jonestown.

There is a huge difference between cross hairs on a map and direct threats to the lives of government officials. There is also a difference between the cross hairs and a city chief of police ordering the city cops to NOT protect state elected officials. Sorry, but imagery is one thing,, direct threats and cops' dereliction of duty are FAR from synonymous.

Ohhh...ok, now I get it. PALIN said, there's nothing wrong with that type of rhetoric, that it didn't incite violence. And then she said the union folks should tone down their rhetoric before someone gets hurt. So you all think she was talking out of both sides of her mouth? What I said before still stands. Palin's use of cross hairs is not inciting violence,if it is, the democrats have done it too, before she ever did. So her 'rhetoric' is not the same as the very real threats of doing bodily harm and threatening riots that the democrats have used since.
