Revolution: The Plunging of the Markets and Changing of the Guard
So few times do we really at first appreciate the power of an idea whose time has come.
Most prophets were ignored in their place and time.
Former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin gave a Nashville Tea Party speech that can best be described as a turning point in National Politics and Economy.
Last night Mrs Palin went from the Governor mother of a boy with Down’s Syndrome, and the butt of Katie Couric, Charlie Gibson, John McCain, Saturday Night Live smears and jokes, to national spokesperson for the little people.
She did not need an election with 60 million votes to empower her.
She had the multiple failures of previous elected leadership, with the punctuation of the election of Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown to a monopoly seat of power held by one man for 58 years to do that.
Her Nashville Tea Party speech launched her into 2012 Presidential front-runner status. She revealed her husband is not a Republican. She authenticated herself even more by speaking the obvious painful truth about America Today and the oncoming Revolution.
The government monopoly media response was to release emails claiming her husband ran the Alaskan government, to portray $600 Tea Party Tickets as a scam. In fact, banquet tickets to see and hear Mrs Palin were $349 and well attended by global media.
Mrs Palin put mass media mesmerist Chris Wallace in his place:

I’m as much as a populist as the next guy, but Palin is not and will not be the leader of regular folks revolution….she just parrots tired old talking points. Revolutions always have some big visionary thinkers behind them, usually not the one making the speeches, and the visionaries have a charismatic, true believer that articulates that vision in a way regular folks can relate…Palin is neither…she may be a marker, and indication that conservatives are now the rebels rather than the lefties that were in the 60s/70s…but she is know revolutionary leader…and she does not associate with any big thinking visionary…

Palin is an albatross tied to a millstone around the Tea Party movement’s neck.
The sooner they figure it out and jettison her with the rest of the status quo the better.

Agree with both of you, Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln our salvation lies not in putting anyone or any party on a pedestal, but in exercising our God-given Constitutional rights of freedom, independence and prosperity.
At the same time we get nowhere fast by faulting people brave enough to question the status quo by saying no one person or party speaks for all Americans. The message of Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln was American unity beyond divisive politics and name calling…

Excuse me, but a $349 price tag for a ticket is not “for the little” people and no amount of PR BS is gonna convince us otherwise. She’s another W. She has plenty of charisma and ambition, and that fools a lot of wishful, gullible people into thinking those are marks of a leader when in reality, those are qualities more suited for Hollywood.

Well, if we knock down every spokesperson, we will basically be ungovernable…
