There are generally two schools of thought regarding bullies. The first approach is to take them head-on and show them you will not tolerate being abused. The other approach is to ignore them, don't feed thier ego, and eventually they give up. It's been soundly proven that the second approach is almost always an abysmal failure. Ignoring the bully either entices him to be even more brazen in his attacks, or it appears to give the bully credibility since you won't defend yourself..., or both. So why bring this up? Sarah Palin has been bullied by the press, by Hollywood, by every Democrat pundit, from nearly the very first day that McCain announced her as his choice for a running mate. Her children, her husband, her stature as a mother, her intelligence, have been ridiculed in the way a mindless bully attempts to ridicule who he perceives to be the most defenseless target on the playground. As a politician a certain amount of this comes with the job, and you have to allow it to roll off your back..., to a degree. But there comes a time when it's reached its limit and the bullies need to be taught a lesson. When people who were on your side are turned against you launching the most petty, snide, cowardly, immature attacks from deep in the shadows, helping your enemies to tear you down, it's time to go after those traitors. Senator McCain proves again he is an absolutely bitter ingrate and a waste of time, as he sits idly by allowing lies from his own campaign staffers to be tossed at Governor Palin. Why? Because he never liked Conservatives and thinks they are the problem with the Republican Party. Sarah Palin worked harder than McCain himself in the last nine weeks of the campaign, to try to get him elected. And everyone I know thinks it's also disgraceful that Fox News drools this garbage all over it's network without first waiting for a response from governor Palin so that it can be presented as a fair and balanced report. Cameron should be fired for his hack journalism in aiding this spreading of innuendo and lies and violating the credo of his own network's slogan of fair and balanced.
Also have you heard of Obama's plan to force all public school students to perform community service? This is the sort of thing courts punish criminals with. Obama wants to do this to students. Obama said... "So when I'm President, I will set a goal for all American middle and high school students to perform 50 hours of service a year, and for all college students to perform 100 hours of service a year. This means that by the time you graduate college, you'll have done 17 weeks of service.". So what is this supposed to be, Obama's forced labor camps? Will the students have to wear t-shirts with Obama's image on them while they perform thier forced labor? What's next? Every school room must have a portrait of Obama on the wall that the students have to salute? Looks like we better hold on tight. The Obama presidency is going to be a very bumpy ride for those who cherish freedom.
