Palin’s Politics of Personal Responsibility in Tatters; Daughter Willow Avoids Criminal Charges
OPS_admin | Mar 31, 2010 | Comments 0
New information coming out about Willow Palin today may make it impossible for Serial Quitter and Fox News Personality Sarah Palin to preach the politics of “personal responsibility” ever again. Expect this to break wide today, maybe even in the lamestream media, as Palin herself might call it. If the National Enquirer doesn’t get the Pulitzer Prize with its outing of the John Edwards affair — in which the tabloid scooped the whole wide world — maybe their reporting back in January on Willow Palin’s trouble with the cops might do it.
The roots of this story go back to The Palins’ vacation in the sunny climes of Hawaii. Remember that one? The media had it that The Palins fled the island after she was caught blacking out John McCain’s name on a visor. Until today, we all bought that story, which appears to have played into Palin’s hands because she needed us to buy that story. It now appears to have just been a convenient coincidence. Maybe her father didn’t get the word in time, because he also tried to provide cover for the family with an even stranger cover story, which alluded to racism on Palin's part.
Now as we learn on The Immoral Minority web site, the retreat from Hawaii might have nothing to do with the visor whatsoever. The timing is suspicious because that’s also around the time when State Troopers in Alaska were giving Willow Palin and her pals the third degree in Wasilla.

If we don't change our ways soon...
A new report by the Royal Society, chaired by Nobel prize-winning biologist Sir John Sulston warns that world population must be stabilized and consumption in wealthy nations must be reduced or the entire planet is in big trouble. As the report reads: "The number of people living on the planet has never been higher, their levels of consumption are unprecedented and vast changes are taking place in the environment. We can choose to rebalance the use of resources to a more egalitarian pattern of consumption... or we can choose to do nothing and to drift into a downward spiral of economic and environmental ills leading to a more unequal and inhospitable future."This is the same warning that President Jimmy Carter gave Americans back in the 1970's - but it was ignored when Ronald Reagan came to power with a "more positive" message basically telling Americans we can do whatever we want. And then after 9/11 - Bush told us all we should go shopping and consume ever more.And now with corporations calling the shots in Washington - long-term sustainability of the planet takes a back seat to short-term profits. If we don't change our ways soon - and embrace clean, alternative energy and educate women around the plant - then we all could be headed for a rough century.-Thom(Is there any chance we will learn in time?

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
