ON EPITHETS




Both Liberals and Conservatives (more so with conservatives) slam and sully one another by throwing their "label pies" into one another's faces.

This constant pigeon-holing and plastering with denigrating labels doesn't communicate very much.

They're empty, sarcastic, and negative epithets.

I've always liked Thomas Jefferson's political party:
Democratic Republican.

Yeah, maybe that's what I really "am"…
A Democratic Republican.

No more Independent labeling for me!



Governor Palin, as depicted on Saturday Night Live by Tina Fey, was a big, winking, joke.

Then during her final appearance, Sarah Palin was just being herself.


Palin had the goods in the "looks" department (well, some thought so)---
But not the "brains".

There is a wide chasm between smiling, winking cuteness---

And Wisdom.


Lincoln had limited experience before his presidency.

The quality and types of experiences may be more important than the prestige and titles associated with those experiences.

A community organizer versus a mayor/governor.

A resume is of less importance than I.Q.


I suppose if we make George Washington our frame of reference, then Sarah Palin qualifies, because she can shoot and kill, and she's had plenty of International experience from all that looking at Russia from Alaska.

But looking is less important than leading.


Barack Obama has four, long years to lead---

And it will be the world who'll be doing the looking.




OUTWARD SHOW IS A POOR SUBSTITUTE FOR INNER WORTH!
