“..Perhaps the reason why the left is almost incandescently furious at Sarah Palin is because she refuses to play their little game. Since she doesn’t use their dictionary she is pilloried as illiterate. By using Oldspeak words she ipso facto gives offense. It is this stiff-necked refusal to get with the word program that may paradoxically give her the political strength. Those who’ve accepted the vocabulary of politesse, aka Newspeak, have unwittingly surrendered. Pre-surrendered, in fact, for the dubious honor of acceptance into quality society. Maybe being from Alaska, Palin never knew enough politesse to forget a very important principle: “You don’t know what is possible before you try. And if you negotiate with yourself before you negotiate with others, you will never know what was possible.” Richard Fernandez of Belmont Club
Oh, and whenever you see a poll purporting to show diminished support for Palin, bear THIS item in mind. Polls have become little more than propaganda tools.
