The Truth Will Out

Remember the ridiculous reports of a McCain "adviser" supposedly in the know about Governor Sarah Palin's purported knowledge gaps? The MSM seized on that report as convincing evidence to bolster their hysteria that Palin was totally unqualified (and — horror! — unvetted).

Then you'll be interested to know the rest of that story ... here's a summary of the reality.

Anyone eager to applaud MSNBC's "fact-check" department? No, I didn't think so.

Post-Mortem On Election 2008

Over at WorldNet Daily, Kimberly Fletcher, President and Founder of Homemakers for America, offers an assessment of the election. As a volunteer in the battleground state of Ohio, Kimberly's experience underscores what most of us already knew: Sarah Palin was anything BUT a drag on the Republican ticket ... with all due respect to war hero and failed Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain, Governor Sarah Palin singlehandedly resuscitated a lackluster campaign struggling for its final breaths.

Rich Galen summed it up this way: "McCain was going to lose this race whether Sarah Palin was the VP nominee or ... St. Paul was the nominee."

Ignore the smack the unnamed "McCain staffers" are dishing at Sarah Palin. Conservatives have a bright future and Sarah Palin will no doubt be among those leading the charge. Next time she runs, she won't be carrying someone else's water.

Ignorance Carries A Hefty Cost

I'm not a great fan of Howard Stern, but I appreciated his willingness to air this clip. With the election now part of history, we can look back in amazement at how well-informed some voters were. (Please forgive my sarcasm.)

Thomas Jefferson said it well: "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be."

What more needs to be said?
