As deeply ridiculous as Sarah Palin is, it's worth bringing to attention the advancement of her totally fictitious claim that her goal is to look ahead and advance this country along the traditional conservative values of "less government intervention, greater energy independence, stronger national security, and much-needed fiscal restraint."

Her goal may be to do just that, but her assumption that less government intervention, greater energy independence, stronger national security and much needed fiscal restraint has anything to do with traditional conservative values is retarded. We just had in this country 8 years of conservative Republican rule and no where can we find the slightest hint of less government intervention, greater energy independence, stronger national security or any sign of fiscal restraint whatsoever. Any such "values" are totally absent from Republican history. But let's get to what really gives Republicans boners.

In 20 years of solid Republican rule (8 years of Reagan, and 12 years of Bushies) no where is there any track record of any such self-proclaimed "values." Reagan never once shrunk government, led us to greater energy independence, created stronger national security (at least no more so than any other president) and absolutely demonstrated no such ability for fiscal restraint. He did nothing of the sorts of things Republicans claim they "value." In fact, there is no where in their history that suggests they have ever "valued" any of it. It's one big lie. All they want to do is sit back, wear Reagan shirts and have circle jerk Tea Bagger parties.

Any sane person would think that we could find, in the very least, an ounce of their "values" in 20 years of rule. If not, you eventually have to start questioning these people's grasp of reality.
