Palin splits with neocon advisers

Sarah Palin has parted ways with the neoconservative foreign policy advisers who had been writing speeches and advising her on policy since she joined the McCain campaign.

An aide to Palin, Tim Crawford, confirmed that Orion Strategies' Randy Scheunemann and Michael Goldfarb are no longer working for her PAC. They parted, both sides said on good terms.

I believe this is a move in the right direction.

It shows she has reached a point of maturation and a growing comfort with her own views, I view this as a positive.

That's been hanging around her neck.

Good move and...

Run, Sarah, Run!

I think it's interesting how the "neo-con" approach to foreign policy is being roundly refudiated (it's in the dictionary now, thanks Sarah). I have to admit after 9/11 I was all about bringing the world to justice with righteous force. But I think the folly of that has become apparent over time, and the classic conservative foreign policy approach of default non-interventionism in the absence of national security interest is making a strong comeback.

Conservatives can still reclaim that ground, and it is nice to see Palin moving in that direction.

The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

The neocon approach to foreign policy has not been to bring justice with force; it's been to win hearts and minds and spread "democracy".  Islam will never be democratized until it stops being islam.

Better to take off and nuke 'em from orbit.

sh*t they can't even get their story straight about Obama oops Usama.   hehehe
I'd be more worried about their usual misdirection and hitting the wrong F'n target! ::doh::

Speaking of that, I noticed the sudden increase in frequency of the "Usama" variation of his name. Since I don't think anything is a coincidence with these media slime, I think this conspicuous use of "Usama" is driven by a desire to plant a subconscious barrier between the very similar "Obama". I've decided to start calling him Barack Ubama.

The "news" reader on 106.1 FM always calls him Oobama.

I think the media's trying to avoid saying Obama for Osama; this morning Beck played the recorded instances of them doing just that they past two days, there were a multitude.

Yes, there's been tons of talking heads at every news outlet confusing Obama and Osama. It's quite easy to do, of course. And as mentioned in another thread, it's not just the almost identical spelling, I think what really bothers his media sycophants is that his name is a continual reminder of his "otherness". They can speak glowingly about multiculturalism all they want, I think they know that Americans still can't help but take note of the peculiarity of our President having a name that is so easy to confuse with a Middle Eastern Islamic terrorist.

How many people on September 12th, 2001 would have believed we'd have a president named Barack Hussein Obama in just a few years? I'm still struck by it every time I hear it uttered or see it printed, but then I guess I'm not like the average voter.

Muslims murdered 3000, using our planes, destroying a major part of NYC and a large piece of the Pentagon and seven years later Americans elected a president with a muslim name.

I think about that often, in light of islamic incursions into our institutions, and wonder if most of the country hasn't gone bugsht UNsane.
