Showing Original Post only (View all)Foreign Press Says What America’s Won’t: Sarah Palin is a Traitor (warning: graphic} [View all]

***
The American Press wont say what the International Press will for a variety of reasons, but suffice it to say that there are many agendas at play here, causing truth to take a back-seat to dollars. As a noted US media critic once said, everything to sell and nothing to tell. And what a shame, because this isnt about partisanship or even elitism; its about patriotism and who better to cover this issue than our domestic press?
Ms Palin cloaks her myth in her flag, but one has to question just what that symbol represents to Ms Palin, given that she wont stop attacking this countrys sitting President during each crisis that presents itself. The word patriotism derives from the Greek patriōtēs meaning fellow countryman; that would include all of us, even President Obama. Im afraid Ms Palin and her followers conflate their false community of nationalism with patriotism, and under the guise of said nationalism, justify harming Americas standing in the world along with the very unity of our nation. One cant help but question Ms Palins true motives, along with her jingoistic, tabloid-driven patriotism, since she beats this drum of division in each public appearance she makes.

Sarah Palin is the figurehead for an unpatriotic movement here in the United States of America. A movement so bereft of love for this country that they would go to any means to see it fail, in order to elevate themselves into power. A movement which just yesterday met with the democratically elected President of this fine country and then immediately stabbed him in the back in their post-game press conference.
And nestled into this web of traitors is one particularly odious senator, Senator John McCain, upon whose shoulders the blame for this national embarrassment rests. Ms Palin is the front-runner of this group for Presidential candidate in 2012 according to polls. This makes sense, given the Republican Partys current gamesmanship of our political system, wherein their only goal is to destroy the President not to lead, not to govern but to destroy. At any cost necessary.

When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.
