“She wasn’t thoughtful enough to know she wasn’t thoughtful enough.”
July 12th, 2009 by Larry Bellinger Posted in Current Events, News, PoliticsPeggy Noonan of the Wall Street Journal, can certainly turn a phrase. However, she outdid herself this weekend!

But don’t scoff too loud or too long at Gov. Sarah Palin. She embodies the the hopes and dreams of an increasingly shrinking demographic that still has lots of clout. Her constituents are angry and afraid. Angry and afraid of gays, immigrants, unions and especially the black guy in the White House. Anger and fear can be a very volatile combination for these are the emotions that when combined with political extremism can produce a Tim McVeigh or a William Krar: one of the most dangerous men of whom you’ve never heard.
