Sarah Palin Rides In Rolling Thunder - 2011
Well the end of the world didn’t happen earlier in the month as Harold Camping of Family Radio had predicted. In fact, Mr. Camping first predicted the end of world back in 1994 and I’m not sure how many doomsday predictions we’ll give the Christian broadcaster before skeptics scoff at his antics and totally dismiss the message.
And, speaking of doomsday…
To hear the “rumbles” – and, I’m not talking about the thousands of bikes which appeared at the annual Rolling Thunder bike rally in Arlington, Virginia which draws attention to American troops who have gone missing in combat and remain unaccounted for – rather I’m talking about participants in the ride who expressed mixed feelings when former Alaska governor Sarah Palin (R) hoped onto a Harley and joined thousands of riders.
I don’t know about you , but this has a bit of that “spoiled little Daddy’s uptown girl lives rent free” smell to it. Average talent and giant hype. When I listen to her speak I hear the marketing machine. Palin talking about military hardships?! It’s like listening to the building receptionist droll on and on about the hardships of the African child she supports through TV commercial contributions. She’s speaking the words, but her connection and understanding of the hardships are highly suspect. Like the Creedence Clearwater Revival song… it’s true, some kids are born with a silver spoon. But, there are a lot of us who didn’t even have spoons, wooden or plastic!
You’re likely thinking, blah, blah, blah… it’s just politics so chill out, Mac. You’re right. Maybe I’m feeling a little envious that I couldn’t participate…
Okay. Independent of political leanings and politician likes, I do believe the involvement of a high-profile politician can only boost the visibility of the veteran’s event, raise contribution awareness and help energize America to not forget. That is a good thing. Thank you Sarah Palin!

Sarah Palin was so successful as a governor, she graduated early “Bitter Quitter”, she real is a “Dan Quayle” in heels. She clearly loves “dishing it out” but real can’t take it because she loves playing the victim card. Poor thing she fail as a VP candidate (her lie that her daughter was engaged was such a farce), her stand-up comic fiasco on the Jay Leno Show, please, her TV show canceled after declining rating, I guess her perpetual run for the White House is the only thing she can look forward to, but since she is a coward she will only throw small minded rocks, poor thing. Since we already had an idiot “W” that caused our current economic debacle, America knows not to trust the GOP fools who flaunt the idiocy.
