Next entry: Obama Should Flip His Shit
Previous entry: Aw, C'MON!
After reading that Michael Reagan believes Sarah Palin is the reincarnation of his father, former president Ronald Reagan, I guess we shouldn’t be surprised at the asshattery that comes from the keyboard of faded action star-turned-WND-columnist Chuck Norris. He goes back a few more centuries—McCain’s running mate evokes Dolley Madison and Betsy Ross.
Forget the cheap talk about change – Palin is a proven reformer who can help us restore our country and rectify constitutional revisionism and apostasy throughout governing bodies. Sarah is a non-politically correct politician who’s not afraid to go head-to-head against any establishment – and we need many more of those types of brazen characters to run corruption out of Washington. Sarah is small-town civil and Texas tough, with a southern elegance and an urban savvy. If McCain is a maverick, then there’s no doubt that Sarah is (if you will) the maverette!
...Palin comes to Washington in the spirit of our Founding Mothers. I truly believe she represents an early-American patriotic spirit that lies sleeping among millions of Americans today and needs to be reawakened and replicated with the goal of winning back our country. Sarah is the type of politician who others need to mimic in committed civic service, character and integrity. She is the type of revolutionary who will help to wake up and revitalize America, and about whom I write in my new book released yesterday, Sept. 7, “Black Belt Patriotism” (Regnery publishing), “Today, we see women incredibly active in every arena of society. They are often wearing multiple hats, as mother, homemaker, professional, spiritual leader, and community leader. Many serve God, family and country with the same fervor as those valiant female patriots of yesteryear. Women like Abigail Adams, Margaret Corbin, ‘Molly Pitcher,’ Catherine Ferguson, Dolly Madison, Mercy Warren, Martha Washington, and Betsy Ross.”
One of my readers asked the question—“ Isn’t Norris the same dill weed that endorsed the Hucker?” And the answer is...
Yeah, here it is from Faux News,
Chuck Norris does not vote for president of the United States. He gives the voting machine a swift roundhouse kick and Mike Huckabee wins.
But isn’t this the same dill weed that said McCain is to OLD.
HOLLYWOOD tough guy Chuck Norris has put the boot into Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain, saying he’s just too old for the top job.
Lookie there, it is the same guy. Which one of them is losing their mind faster, McSame or Norris?

Black Belt Patriotism. For the love of…
Doesn’t it seem inappropriate to use a fighting style of an entirely different culture to describe “patriotism”? When I think about what makes this country great, the fact that washed-up B-movie stars have kicked a lot of people isn’t high on the list. He should have gone with a more American, less foreigny-sounding title. Like, I dunno, Sucker Punching a Bald Eagle on Flag Day Patriotism. Now that just shrieks America.
The more I think about it, the more Palin reminds me of a certain presidential candidate from days of yore. The relatively unknown governor of a rural state, a history of financial screwups, no foreign policy experience, not much in the way of political (or other) accomplishments, but a reliable social conservative record, a down-home, folksy candidate that you want to sit down and have a beer with… (Yeah, you know who I’m talking about.)
If there’s a difference, I guess, it’s that while Bush is a New England blueblood from old money with a fake accent and a cowboy hat, Palin is the real backwoods country deal. It’s no wonder that Chuck would support her - she’s the closest McCain could come to putting the George Bush from 2000 on the ticket 
“Sarah is ... not afraid to go head-to-head against any establishment” - except the media.
“Forget the cheap talk about change – Palin is a proven reformer who can help us restore our country and rectify constitutional revisionism and apostasy throughout governing bodies.”
Apostasy? The renunciation of one’s religion? What religion have our governing bodies renounced?
(Yeah, that was a rhetorical question. I know precisely which religion Norris wants Palin to restore to governing bodies. Sigh.)
During half-time, the Maverettes will perform on the football field.
I like dill, can we please dillweed with stinkweed?
I can repeat often enough that the original Maverick was a cattle thief and more importantly he stole from his neighbors and friends. Is this really the attitude that we want the President having when he has access to our pocketbooks and businesses?
Palin comes to Washington in the spirit of our Founding Mothers.
Somehow, I can’t see Palin running back into a burning building during a military siege to save key original copies of Constitution and Bill of Rights from destruction.
If there were not many copies and she thought she could get away with it, I could see her personally burning them to rid herself of their inconvenient limits on her executive power.

She might. She could probably get a pretty penny for them on eBay.
Huh. I’m descended from Molly Pitcher. Mrs. Mary Ludwig Hays, my great to the Nth grandmother, was described by the men in her company as a twenty-two-year-old illiterate pregnant woman who smoked and chewed tobacco and swore as well as any of the male soldiers.
Wait, which Palin woman was he referring to?
“If McCain is a maverick, then there’s no doubt that Sarah is (if you will) the maverette!”
Of course, he’s not, so I guess she’s not either.

Overheard at Captain’s Quarters:Whoh Whoh, little maverick, hold your fire!”
Hillary said Barak is not experienced enough for the office in the primary season. I believe her quote was that she and old Johnny boy had experience and Barak had given a speech. She is allowed to put that quote behind her and she can move into supporting Barak, even though he has gained no more experience. And that is celebrated here.
Chuck said McCain was old when supporting another candidate, and now backs off that quote - even thought John is still old - and gets behind McCain, but that is not ok - because that somehow is TOTALLY different.
I see - nice argument.
i would still like to hear about one time when mccain opposed his party on any real issue.
i like that wingnut daily thinks chuck norris counts as a political columnist. wnd, your low standards are showing!
“i would still like to hear about one time when mccain opposed his party on any real issue.”
Torture
dr t, nobody knows what’s really happening in hillary’s mind.
during primaries, she was campaigning. she was supposed to make the other guy sound bad. when it didn’t come through, she understood how vitally important it was to the party to throw her full support into obama’s campaign. did she mean what she said about his experience in the first place? we don’t know. did she legitimately change her mind? we don’t know. is she still concerned about obama’s experience, or in her heart of hearts does she support him? we don’t know.
what we do know is that she understood the importance of at least demonstrating support and the importance of electing a democrat.
the difference between a bystander changing his mind and two previous primary competitors leaving behind the campaign junk to unite for the greater good is huge.
“Torture”
...which he was clearly against…
...right up until it was politically expedient to support it and then he folded like a house of cards. Even though he has personal experience being tortured. Even though he knows it’s useless for intelligence info, but great for propaganda. Even though he knows that we have prosecuted people for exactly those techniques when used on our soldiers…
But if that’s your definition of maverickyness, have another large, tasty glass of Koolaid…
Shorter Dr. T:
Never mind what any of you other commenters have ever said about anything, I’m getting POINTS for this!
“the difference between a bystander changing his mind and two previous primary competitors leaving behind the campaign junk to unite for the greater good is huge.”
No it isnt
btw, good job ignoring everything else we have said to refute you.
selective reading ftw!
Nice try on the torture links, but McCain has said from the beginning that he would support legislation limiting the CIA from using techniques that violated the Detainee Treatment Act. This bill went beyond that so he did not support it. Completely consistent.
Frankly, even if McCain did consistently oppose torture, which he didn’t, I have a lot of trouble giving someone credit for _opposing torture_. That should be, like, pretty basic.

It’s completely consistent for him to support torture even though he’s a victim of torture himself?
If you’re consistently a hypocrite whose only aim is to get elected, sure. But someone who actually had a moral problem with torture and genuinely thought that the United States of America should not be torturing people wouldn’t be coming up with excuses why he can’t support bills against it.
“But someone who actually had a moral problem with torture and genuinely thought that the United States of America should not be torturing people wouldn’t be coming up with excuses why he can’t support bills against it”
Unless of course he was waterboarded during training, for instance, and survived and then was ACTUALLY tortured in Vietnam and does not equate the two. From a position of personal experience with the techniques being discussed he has arrived at an informed decision in a way you never could. Then he could very likely apply a level of subtelty to his decision making that you can not grasp. Just a hypothetical argument of course.

Could you point me towards a link where McCain explains this?
Unless the line “just a hypothetical argument, of course,” is supposed to apply to everything you wrote.
Yeah, I’m going to have to go with “even if he didn’t support torture, I’m not giving him credit for that” line of thought- that’s like guys screaming on rape threads that they would never rape a woman. Do you want a fucking cookie for acting like a decent human being?
But, the point still stands- McCain is fine with waterboarding. Waterboarding is torture. Ergo, McCain is fine with torture.
Now, of course, you have to argue that Waterboarding ISN’T torture, and I’m afraid that you’re going to have a hard time with that. First and foremost, because this isn’t the crowd for that, but secondly, because you’d be wrong.
Why are these damned Hollywood celebrities always forcing their liberal opinions on the American people? They should just shut up and...what? Never mind.
“First and foremost, because this isn’t the crowd for that, but secondly, because you’d be wrong.”
...and there’s only something like a 500+ year history of agreement that “waterboarding” is torture.
But I’m sure that Dr T is far more sophisticated than those ignorant Dark Ages torturers who couldn’t possibly see that they weren’t actually torturing those people they were torturing. Those ignorant fools.
And why is it that “waterboarding” is the only torture that ever gets argued about?
There are plenty of other tortures that have been “authorized” and used, and others the creative folks “in charge” of this on our behalf have come up with on the fly. Many of them are “techniques” we have also prosecuted others for when they were done to our soldiers.
But I’m sure it’s different when we’re doing it to Those Dirty Brown Terrorists…
Unless of course he was waterboarded during training, for instance, and survived and then was ACTUALLY tortured in Vietnam and does not equate the two.
Well, let’s go to the expert about what McCain thinks, shall we?
Of presidential candidates like Mr. Giuliani, who say that they are unsure whether waterboarding is torture, Mr. McCain said: “They should know what it is. It is not a complicated procedure. It is torture.”
So McCain specifically said in public during a debate that waterboarding is torture, and yet he voted for the US to keep doing it. That’s some mavericky maverickness you can believe in!
Just a hypothetical argument of course.
I’m sure that’s what the McCain you’ve created in your head thinks but, sorry, that’s not what the actual John McCain has said. And the rest of us have to go by what the real John McCain says, not your fantasy version of him.
And this is why I’m a Vin Diesel man.
Anything you can say about Chuck Norris, you can say about Vin. Plus he’s a nerd deep down.
