"Pest" Is Prologue

We have seen gadfly backbiters mocking those who would rise to the call of the nation. Ronald Reagan was mercilessly and relentlessly pilloried by members of the Third Estate, before, during, and after his Presidency. Now every Republican candidate that the dinosaur media sees as a threat to their man "deconstructing" America is cut off at the knees. And this is the same main stream media that consistently ignores Obama misspeaks like America's "fifty-seven" states, but if Sarah Palin seems to twist the Paul Revere narrative a tad, she is henceforth and forever disqualified from office. The real world is turned upside down around us, the Middle East destabilized, and any economic recovery disintegrating as home values plummet and employment figures remain anemic. So I do not see how Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann stumbling over their tongues from time to time damages the United States anywhere near as much as the radical currently in the White House.
