Ha! I've been reading lately that she basically obsessed over every negative thing said about her.

Ironically the attention she so easily commands means she does matter.

That quote about criticism is from Elbert Hubbard, a popular early-20th-century American writer and speaker who died on the Lusitania. How on earth it came to be attributed to Aristotle by some Internet sources, I have no idea

You don't need anything but tariffs and excise taxes in order to provide for the functions perscribed in the Constitution. That is how our country stood the test of history prior to the reintroduction of the income tax, which we were promised would eliminate socialist sentiment. ![]() Another option is the "FairTax", which would abolish the 16th Amendment and the IRS altogether and replace it with a national sales tax. Third option, a flat tax of no greater than 10% across the board, and no write-offs in order to simplify the tax code. None of these ideas were practical to Herbert Hoover, but raising the income tax from 24% to 63% on the top bracket was. ![]() Class warfare should be fought amongst the states. |

If Palin should use Aristotle, I recommend this one: "Hence tyrants are always fond of bad men, because they love to be flattered, but no man who has the spirit of a freeman in him will lower himself by flattery; good men love others, or at any rate do not flatter them. Moreover, the bad are useful for bad purposes; 'nail knocks out nail,' as the proverb says. It is characteristic of a tyrant to dislike every one who has dignity or independence; he wants to be alone in his glory, but any one who claims a like dignity or asserts his independence encroaches upon his prerogative, and is hated by him as an enemy to his power. Another mark of a tyrant is that he likes foreigners better than citizens, and lives with them and invites them to his table; for the one are enemies, but the Others enter into no rivalry with him." - Aristotle, Politics |

I couldn't care less about the content of Sarah Palin's Twitters. Misattributed quotes just annoy me.

I read the article Palin wrote and I'm infuriated that it had a dangling participle!

She's a working mother with a successful carreer and also with conservative views. I can well understand how this combination does not find favour with the extreme left.
Although I think extreme liberals tend to in general hate married women with kids. They'd prefer it the kids had been aborted, or if the mother had divorced. Palin has shown a mirror to the rotten heart of extreme liberalism, and they don't like what they see, so they react accordingly. |
