"Snow White is looking stronger and stronger, but where are the dwarfs?"Reverend Amy at Rabble Rouser Ruminations:
"Has The BP Oil Spill Broken Through The Hopium Haze of Obama's followers? Well, if Jon Stewart is an example, I'd have to say yes... It was as if Stewart finally decided to look at all of the things we had been screaming about in 2008 and 2009. Of course, he had to have the obligatory dig at Sarah Palin. We can't have it all be about how hoodwinked the Obots were by Obama or else their heads might explode, so Stewart used the favorite punching bag of the Democrats, Sarah Palin, as a way to reduce tension in their brains. Whatever."Donald R. McClarey at The American Catholic:
"The obsession with Palin on the port side of our politics is rapidly becoming one for psychologists to study rather than political mavens."Joyanna Adams at Nobody's Opinion:
"If you missed 'President' Obama's energy speech tonight from the oval office, I can sum it up quite simply for you. Remember when Obama said, during his campaign.... 'Well, you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig!' Everyone KNEW he was talking about Sarah Palin. That remark showed that the man had absolutely no class whatsoever. It was nasty, really low, and proved that the man running for President was basically what we call in many parts of the country... 'Trailer Trash.' But, all the liberals loved it. And he denied that he was talking about Sarah Palin... acting just like the 'swine' he thought he was labeling."Matthew Archbold at Creative Minority Report:
"No matter what you think of Palin, I think you'd have to admit she knows a heck of a lot more about oil and energy than The One."Janne Myrdal at Concerned Women for America:
"Gov. Palin... has become the voice that articulates so clearly the principles of government the Founding Fathers laid out so clearly in the Constitution, and she does not yield an inch or pander to the cultural elite... When Palin says the government should not spend over its limit, she is simply applying checkbook common sense to which we all can relate. When Palin expresses the need for a strong national defense, she mirrors the human nature of protecting the family. When Palin says "drill, baby, drill", she simply mirrors the reality of the everyday energy needs a family and a nation have. When Palin fights corruption and wrongdoing, she applies the God-given moral absolutes we teach our kids and by which we try to live. When Palin speaks of less government and more freedom, she taps into the deeply human right of individual pursuit of happiness and prosperity. All these principles, spoken in plain language, are time-tested throughout history. It's not that complicated or perplexing, is it?"Marcus Carey at Bluegrass Bulletin:
"Never one to mince words, Sarah Palin appeared on Bill O'Reilly last night just to set the record straight. She says Obama's speech was just his way to push cap and trade, you know, that program he promised which would cause utility rates to skyrocket and would bankrupt the coal industry? The enemy is inside the gate, my friends."Douglas MacKinnon at the Washington Examiner:
"If you are a citizen who still believes in traditional values and the need for a free, strong and secure America, then it’s well past the time to make your voice heard. At the risk of being accused of inciting sedition by ultra-wealthy, far-left 'journalist' Joe Klein, I would stress if not now, when? If not you, who? As an aside to Klein, who apparently, as he runs around purposely twisting the words of Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, and Sen. Tom Coburn, R-OK, by claiming they come 'dangerously close to incitement to violence,' has never read the writings of well-known seditionists Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln."Matthew Yglesias via Twitter:
"Sad, but I think @joshtpm is being unfair to Palin http://bit.ly/blpvBJ) Dutch have relevant expertise: http://bit.ly/cvDJcu"Seth Lipsky at the New York Sun:
"The Economist is out with an editorial this week called 'What’s Wrong With America’s Right...' The thing that struck us about the Economist’s editorial is that it misses a story that is becoming clearer by the week. It is the emergence at the fore of the party’s debate of a strain of thinking that one might call constitutionalism — or constitutional conservatism... Governor Palin made this point, marking the importance of enumerated powers. Congressman Paul and Governor Palin, who disagree about many things, including foreign policy and the Patriot Act, both spoke about the negative way in which the Constitution vouchsafes rights. They discussed how rights don’t come from government but from man’s creator and that the Constitution was put in place precisely to prohibit the government from violating those rights. They did so more articulately and rationally than even a leading article in the Economist. Judge Napolitano, who has written extensively on the Constitution, illuminated common ground between the libertarian Dr. Paul and the socially conservative Mrs. Palin."Canadian Sentinel:
"So... why isn't the Old Media asking more questions, looking into the ties, etc.? Why, for example, doesn't the Associated Press look into Obama's extremist connections, instead of putting, what was it, eleven, employees on the job of combing through Sarah Palin's autobiography for errors and such?"Thomas S Schmitz at The Bold Pursuit:
"With her Reaganesque charm and bold American spirit, Sarah Palin is singlehandedly holding the torch of liberty. By her mere existence, Sarah Palin has proven that in America you don’t need a title to make a difference. This new Momma Grizzly feminist has rallied the troops from coast to coast and handpicked candidates to send to the front lines of next November’s battle. Sarah Palin has enkindled a fire in grass roots common sense conservative activists and effected positive change for our country by throwing herself into the national debate and forcing delay to Barack Obama’s dangerous globalist agenda. Her role as Shadow President provides Americans with a consistent contrast to every issue the administration attempts to solve with big government globalist solutions. Sarah Palin is a constant reminder of that shining city on the hill where a smaller, smarter government lives within its means."Donna Trussell at Politics Daily:
"Even Palin's detractors have to admit she's putting some spit and polish on the tarnished feminist brand."Glenn J. D'Abreo at The New Conservative:
"Sarah Palin, who is condemned by the left as a raving lunatic said, very succinctly, last night on Fox that while we should be working day and night to become less dependent on fossil fuels, we should be working just as hard to increase our local supply of crude, so that our Chief Executive doesn’t have to bow and scrape when he next visits the Saudi King... Neither Olberman nor Matthews admitted that if we were drilling closer to shore and this disaster had happened in 200 feet of water rather than at 5000 feet of water, the ruptured oil well would have been plugged as soon as the rig went down and the fires were put out. But that isn’t something that they will admit. To the average raving environmentalist, the sight of an oil rig just isn’t something they can accept, even if it means preventing a disaster like the one we are enduring in the Gulf right now. It just isn’t their thing. Ask anyone one of them tooling around in their Prius Hybrids."John at John's Blog:
"Sarah has it right. Stop the leak already. Don't use this as a political football to try to get your far left energy agenda through a rightfully reluctant Congress. Do not use this crisis for political gain. That is unseemly and the American people can see right through it."Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes:
"Sarah Palin had some thoughts about Obama’s speech as well. FireDogLake would like to make Palin the focus; they’re not too fond of her comments. They’d like to critique them before anybody has a chance to pay attention to them. But Palin does have executive command. She sees entities, and she sees responsibilities that are upheld by those entities. In the case of the oil companies, she understands their mission is to bring a return on investment to the shareholders. Which means they can be trusted to bring oil up out of the ground — and that is all. Sure it’s not in BP’s interest to have this kind of disaster drag on day after day, but it isn’t appropriate to trust them to prevent it when the rest of us, be we direct consumers of oil or be we not, have such a heavy stake in it. Her words strike an appropriate balance, she even swivels Bill O’Reilly around to her point of view when he does not initially agree, and FireDogLake cannot stand it."Lonely Conservative:
"I’d love to see Palin debate Obama on energy issues. The biggest irony is that it’s the Democrats who are in bed with the oil companies, especially BP. BP’s oil spill is being used by Obama to advance his cap and tax plan, a plan BP supports. Go figure."Rick Santorum in a National Review interview:
"Palin is the only endorsement anyone wants. If you ask who the most influential endorsers are, Palin is numbers one, two, and three, with maybe Sen. Jim DeMint at four. Her endorsement is the only one that matters this year. Just look at what she did for Nikki Haley... No offense to Mitt, but he doesn’t carry the weight. Mitt can help you with some finance people, maybe in some small way, but his pull is insignificant compared to Palin’s."Eric The Red at Vocal Minority:
"The feminists of the left aren’t pro-woman; they’re pro-liberalism. Conservative/Republican women need not apply. One can demonstrate this with two words: Sarah Palin."Russ Vaughn at the American Thinker blog:
"Although initially wary [of Sarah Palin], but admittedly impressed with her performance in the 2008 campaign... I have begun to pay more attention to this irrepressible, remarkable woman and I must confess: I'm impressed. I just watched her vis a vis Bill O'Reilly following the One's pronouncements on the oil spill, you know, where the Big O addresses the Big O, and let me tell you my immediate impression... What is overwhelmingly obvious is that this is a woman who possesses a more common-sense intellect and bigger cojones than O'Reilly, Obama and any other male power figure I can name."TheRightScoop:
"I think this was Sarah Palin’s best appearance to date on Fox News as a pundit. She was very strong and powerful at times, giving indication that if she were in command she would be able to handle this mess and come up with plans to keep the oil at bay. She is really starting to sound presidential."- JP
