J. Forrest Creecy: Sarah Invictus

Those that hate her thought that she had been consumed in the blazes from their incendiary campaign against her. But much like the fires they set nearly one year ago around the church she attends in Alaska, the flames badly burned, but failed to destroy. Blogging at DCRepublican.com, J. Forrest Creecy examines Sarah Palin's Phoenix-like rise from the political ash heap:

Palin is now a force in her own right. A whirling dervish of political power and folksiness leaving destruction, puzzled pundits and insanely incontinent liberals in her wake. Palin rewrote the discourse on the proposed Obamacare overhaul with the infamous and pertinent “Death Panel” speech. She up-ended the special election in New York’s 23rd district (though not to the GOPs advantage). Her every action sees legions of would-be GOP nominees scurrying like rats to mimic her every move. In many ways she is the standard bearer and lightning rod that those seeking the Republican nomination must win over, or supplant, if they are to be successful.

With the publication of her autobiography, Going Rogue, Palin’s approval numbers now out-pace that of the Messiah Obama. Whereas the clueless and weak Dear One vacillates on Afghanistan, stumbles to and fro on Health Care and meekly watches as the world laughs at his personal diplomacy, appearances on Oprah and other high-profile shows have largely rehabilitated Palin’s image and have convinced many that she is not the monstrous jezzebel (sic) that the media had painted her as.

Once a joke, the thought of Palin running successfully in 2012 is no longer a laughing matter. At the very least, she will play the role of the ersatz king-maker for the GOP in 2012 and, perhaps, far beyond. Where the jackals once sneered and mocked her they now cower and urinate on themselves unsure of what they have done.

Indeed, the very process in which she had been destroyed, the unending and manic misogynistic attacks on her and her children, have strengthened her like the tempering of the blade of a samurai sword.

Creecy says the hateful left are now scratching their collective heads, wondering where they will find an effective weapon to use against Sarah Palin. She has withstood every attack they have waged against her, and those attacks have been many in number and vicious in intensity. Yet she's still standing, and never quite as tall as she stands today.
