Like most conservatives, I wanted to like Sarah Palin when she came on to the national scene. Here was an attractive, conservative white woman with five kids. And the deranged hatred that liberals have of her has its roots in the same things that draw conservatives to her. She certainly wasn’t one of the degenerate elite. So I say the following with a heavy heart: Sarah Palin belongs nowhere near national politics.
I can understand a woman with five kids not having read up on foreign policy. But that doesn’t excuse the fact that when Palin was asked what newspapers she read, she replied “all of them.” Even if she had never picked one up in her life, a person with an average IQ would’ve known to reply “The Wall Street Journal” or “The New York Times” and been done with it.
I understand that all politicians say stupid things and the media decides which gaffes we hear about. Can you imagine if George Bush said that he’d been to 57 states? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpGH02DtIws)
But Palin’s deficiencies go beyond the occasional gap in knowledge or slip of the tongue. She lacks the ability to sufficiently answer the most basic throw away questions. Take as an example her interview with Andrea Mitchell. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY1y_JJ_V2c )Why did she resign? A smart person, even if the resignation really was a ploy to run for president, would’ve come up with something credible sounding. Palin keeps repeating that she isn’t going to run for reelection. Since when does that have anything to do with somebody completing her term? Could Bush have resigned in say, June 2008 because he wasn’t running again? And then would it have made sense for Dick Cheney to resign because he wasn’t going to try for another term? According to Palin, completing her term would’ve been “playing the political game.” Her wanting to step aside to avoid spending millions defending herself against frivolous ethics complaints makes a little more sense, but she relies much more heavily on the obviously absurd “lame duck” argument.
She then gets upset when Mitchell asks her a follow up question at around three minutes into the video and blurts out “You’re not listenin’ to me!” Could you imagine a Mitt Romney, or any politician not named “Sarah Palin,” responding to a question like that? It shows the irrational anger of those insecure about their intelligence. Practically all her media appearances have been similarly awkward.
Sarah Palin is not only unqualified to be on a national ticket, but she actually harms the conservative cause. Her existence as a national candidate seems to verify liberals’ claim that conservatives are dumb. What message does the educated public receive from seeing the politician most beloved by the right being the one least capable of coherently expressing herself?
Understanding this point about being weary of supporting faux conservatives just because liberals hate them and they speak with Middle America accents is especially important after the George Bush era. We truly had gotten the worst of all worlds. He motivated liberals and inspired loyalty among mainstream conservatives while being to the left of Ted Kennedy on immigration and of Woodrow Wilson on foreign policy. Perhaps it would be worth firing up our enemies in order to get a true conservative in office. Unfortunately, Palin, like Bush, has never given any indication that she would do anything but walk the neo-con line. If you need any more convincing of that, know that The Weekly Standard still loves her. (http://weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/016/708gpxia.asp?pg=1) And there’s a political price to pay for having idiots seen as the representatives of right wing white interests. Pat Buchanan and Ron Paul can make an anti-establishment conservative proud; Sarah Palin, like say Sean Hannity, should make him cringe.
As I said before, I once thought Sarah Palin was somebody we should support. But being fecund and detested by the liberal elite does not a presidential candidate make. Sarah Palin’s contribution to the country’s future is producing four healthy white children of good genetic stock. Anybody expecting more is deluded.

You’re probably right. Geez, what a let down. But, well she’s still easy on the eyes.
The one thing above all I got from Sarah Palin was the reaction to her.
It was like lightening storm over a wildlife preserve. The animals just went ape.
They all came out, the hyenas, the vultures overhead, the baboons, they were all out in full force.
And to me, the subtitles read.
How dare you expose our agenda in ANY way!
Of course we want you all dead. But we’d prefer you just sit there while we fry your brain before sending you all off to camps to be slaughtered.
So you CAN NOT organize!!!!!!
Are you nuts?
You’ll spoil all of our arrangements!! And we’ve been working so hard!
All century in fact!!!!!
That’s why we need the Fed. How else were we going to pay for your destruction.
I mean, did you think WE were going to foot the bill?
So back in your cages and shut your yaps!”
You know, something like that.
Igor, the White Ruling Elite were and are the Rich and Powerful Scots, Anglo-Saxons, Germans, and Europeans who are the great money makers and builders of the West. It is a generic term I use to make a distinction between the rest of the White who have little power, little means, and little influence on the laws and future of America.
Over time, the White Ruling Elite have become infected by Jewish thinking, the taking has been so that now the what appears to the average person as the White Ruling Elite is merely White Looking Jews and what is left of the original White Ruling Elite.
As an example, Clinton, Bush, Nixon, Graham, Cheney, etc are White Ruling Elites who have become infected, controlled, and the puppets of Jewish and Zionist interests.
I use the term White Ruling Elite in an attempt and hope that the average White Man can direct his anger, his action, his thoughts to WHO had the power in our country to change things, and WHO now has the power to change things.
President Obama is nobody, he is a toy of the White Ruling Elite just like McCain and Palin.
In other words, spending so much time attacking Blacks, Mexicans, Jews, etc. does not deal with where the real power to bring change exist: The White Ruling Elite, no matter if they are 70% Jewish or 90% Jewish. They LOOK like rich and power white people and that makes them an EASY and LARGE target for change.
In every small town, every county, every city. The White Ruling Elite who owned the large farms, the big stores, the land, the enterprises, THEY are the ones who sold White America out. The Mexicans, the Blacks, the Jews took advantage of situation provided by the White’s in power.

“We must criticize ourselves for lacking the fortitude to maintain our identity and just pride in the face of antagonism.”
We don’t need to criticize ourselves. We just need to ACT.
Whites (especially white men) get dumped on enough by their enemies; they don’t need to start doing it to themselves.
“1-Promote freedom of association”
Freedom of association is effectively illegal. It will take a revolution to get it back.
“2-Reduce quotas and affirmative action plans that discriminate against the most qualified.”
Won’t happen. Will take a revolution to eliminate quotas.
“3-Promote White History and accomplishments”
Problem: We don’t own the mass media. The Internet’s pretty much all we got.
“4-Create media and movies that properly promote racial stereotypes that are more accurate than the anti-White, anti-God, anti-Western movies and books now in print.”
This is the goal of Americana Pictures.
“5-Promote the organization of White organizations and clubs at local levels to acknowledge and promte indificuals for White Achievements and Accomplishments”
This would be illegal. Once again, revolution is the only solution.
“6-Develop training and organizational programs as perfected by the ADL, ACLU, and SPLC for the purpose of destroying enemies of the West via media, the legals system, personal attacks, personal exposure, etc.”
That’s a good idea.
“7-Develop a propaganda arm for the sole purpose of countering the anti-West sentiment and racial hatred promoted by the ADL, JDL, SPLC and NAACP.”
There is such an organization, though its name escapes me at present.
“The White Ruling Elite have financed, promoted, and secured the destruction of the White Man in the West at every level. Mostly for a few dollars.”
Do you consider jews to be white?
Am I missing something here? Is Palin a white nationalist?
Are white nationalists supposed to care about what’s good for the “conservative cause”? Conservatives, “paleo” or otherwise, are some of white nationalism’s biggest enemies.
I agree whole heartedly with this article. I too have tried to like Palin but she is simply not cut-out for national politics. During the campaign I told myself that it must have been the McCain staff who turned her into a walking sound byte. I was disappointed when she continued to come off this way long after the campaign. She is incapable of answering a question in a way that relates to any reasonable, thinking person. Everything that comes out of her mouth is just one bumper sticker slogan after another, mixed in with a faux-folksy inflection and an accent that makes me cringe.
I don’t understand why some conservatives love her so much. People like Rush Limbaugh keep saying the Left hates her because they fear her, but I think they attack her because she’s such an easy target. What do we even know about Palin’s political positions other than the fact that she is pro-life (which is really not a political issue anyway because the Court has declared that women have a “right” to an abortion) and that she loves Israel? What is her stance on immigration? Does anybody know?
My biggest fear is that she will get the 2012 nomination and we will end up with 4 more years of Obama. I would seriously consider voting for Obama over this woman. Our best bet at this point is Romney. At least he could probably beat Obama and he has a proven track record on illegal immigration (taking a stand on the issue in Massachusetts before it was a major issue.) Plus, his campaign was run by Bay Buchanan. I wouldn’t be surprised if Romney and Pat Buchanan have come to some sort of backroom agreement/understanding on the immigration issue.
“Sarah Palin’s contribution to the country’s future is producing four healthy white children of good genetic stock.”
How do you consider an “air-head” like Palin to be “good genetic stock”???
This was a good article with good observations. However, unlike Mr. Hoste I had no initial inclination to like Mrs. Palin. From the outset, it seemed apparent to me that she was the embodiment of that Old testament intrusion into the Christian Weltanschauung that is wreaking havoc upon the West – that same traitorous intrusion that fogs the minds of the mainstay members of the so-called “conservative” movement, the Fox News crowd for example. And the Christian Evangelical movement is none the better.
As for Mr. Sherwood Smith, his comments were well appreciated. It has become all too commonplace these days for western man to blame others for his own shortcomings. True, western man has cunning and formidable adversaries. But his inaction is appalling. It’s not enough for western man to criticize others for his misfortunes. We must criticize ourselves for lacking the fortitude to maintain our identity and just pride in the face of antagonism.
The path of a political solution within the existing dispensation is closed to us. Even if all immigration were cut off today our minority status would be all but assured. And it goes without saying that a political movement whose raison d ‘etre is secession which sought power within the existing nation would be considered treasonous for the reason that it would be nation fracturing and therefore ultimately suppressed.
Nice job. If Republicans can get tens of millions of white votes for being personable, avuncular or cute, why bother with actual pro-white policies? The cynical appeal to red state whites crafted by blue state Jews must be defeated.
Hi Richard,
You make some good points about Mrs. Palin. The truth is Sarah is a very likable woman, she is inspiring and passionate, BUT she is not a leader. She is a substitute for the lack of White Men who are able and willing to make the tough decisions to save our country, culture and future.
We need a leader to rally the White Western Man with a sense of purpose, to build again what is being degraded and destroyed, to take his rightful place in this world.
The White Man must first admit that HE is the reason for the failure and destruction of our country and culture. The White Ruling Elite gave away our technology, our manufacturing base, our future to Asia and Blacks. Why? To make a few dollars, to eliminate future White competition, to cash out and destroy the future of his children. The White Ruling Elite have financed, promoted, and secured the destruction of the White Man in the West at every level. Mostly for a few dollars.
Where do we have this now? We have many educational blogs, magazines, etc. These are good, but are not the same as leadership and purpose.
Where is our leadership? Where is the person to inspire? Where is the plan? Where is the purpose? What is our goal?
What is our action plan to:
1-Promote freedom of association
2-Reduce quotas and affirmative action plans that discriminate against the most qualified.
3-Promote White History and accomplishments
4-Create media and movies that properly promote racial stereotypes that are more accurate than the anti-White, anti-God, anti-Western movies and books now in print.
5-Promote the organization of White organizations and clubs at local levels to acknowledge and promte indificuals for White Achievements and Accomplishments
6-Develop training and organizational programs as perfected by the ADL, ACLU, and SPLC for the purpose of destroying enemies of the West via media, the legals system, personal attacks, personal exposure, etc.
7-Develop a propaganda arm for the sole purpose of countering the anti-West sentiment and racial hatred promoted by the ADL, JDL, SPLC and NAACP.
and so on and so on..
As Chairman Mao learned: There can be no revolution without a revolutionary party. There will be no revolution with lone wolfs, with white terrorist cells, with a fragmented White Skinheads. These only tend to fragment and destroy existing culture while leaving nothing behind to fill the void . . .
Where is White Leadership? Where is a White Leader that inspired and encourages White to build, to reach to a higher level, to do good, to build?
Best Regards,

Sarah Palin was certainly the only thing that excited me about the last election. I found her immediately likable. But I liked her mostly because of the hatred she drew from liberals. I actually considered voting for the McCain-Palin ticket just out of solidarity with Sarah Palin.
But then I realized that McCain and the liberals both were playing me and the American people. Both parties seek to put up candidates for whom we will vote not because of anything substantive–not because of what they believe or what they promise–but simply because they are hated by their political opponents. George Bush was elected not because most Republicans liked him so much as because they hated Gore and Kerry and the people who vote for Gore and Kerry. They wanted to make “those people” suffer. The same is true of Obama’s supporters.
But there is more to being a conservative than being hated by liberals. There is more to being a liberal than being hated by conservatives. Voting for people because of who hates them rather than for who they are or what they stand for is a guarantee that men of no substance who stand for nothing are given what amounts to a blank check on power.
Think about this: McCain could have chosen a running mate who had real substance. A running mate that liberals would have good reason to hate, because of what he stood for. But McCain would not want that. He wanted a running mate who stood for nothing really controversial, but who would still whip up the maximum vitriol from liberals. He wanted a running mate with high symbolic value and zero substance.
And Sarah Palin fit the bill. She energized the conservative base, but she never threatened to do anything that would be really conservative. After all, this woman never would have been a public figure without affirmative action and feminism, two forms of cultural rot that every real conservative needs to oppose. Choosing Palin affirmed the principle of affirmative action. The election was in no danger of being a referendum on affirmative action once both tickets were affirmative action tickets.
Choosing Palin even affirmed feminism. Yes feminists hated her because she is a beautiful woman with five children. But they would have hated her even more if she stayed home and raised them! Palin is actually a very effective way of peddling feminist rot to otherwise conservative and pro-natal women who could never identify with typical mainstream feminist role models, who tend to be heavily Jewish, lesbian, liberal, anti-natalist, ugly, and bitchy.
Sarah Palin is a woman of slightly higher than average intelligence who is capable of being a good mother, a good citizen, and of doing many jobs extremely well. In a healthy society, that is all she would be, and she would be happy, well-liked, and well-rewarded. But she would not be promoted by feminism and affirmative action into jobs she cannot handle, like Governor of Alaska. I wish her all the best in private life, and I hope that Republicans are not fool enough to try to bring her out of retirement and back onto the national stage.
Do liberals know that all they need to do to make Republicans rally around inferior candidates is uncork their viciousness? If so, then they are playing the same game as the McCains and other establishment cynics. Who loses? Anyone who is a conservative in substance, not just symbolism.
Palin is an opportunist who cares more about the limelight than the American people.
