Feeling bad for Sarah Palin.

I'm posting this here because I don't think it belongs in General Discussion anymore.

Some people are wired for (and therefore, DESERVE from the rest of us), a quiet, peaceful life centered around very traditional understandings of Home, Family, spiritualism, etc. And never let it be said that I think that's in any way, a small thing. It's not.

Sarah Palin is one of those people, and the linked video strikes me as the most REAL that I've ever seen her. THAT'S who she REALLY IS. Not a President, not a lighting rod, not a Deep Political Thinker. She's not wired for that stuff. She's actually quite a simple person, and, I would bet outside of the money, fame, and political narcissism required of her by others, almost not at all an unpleasant one. What ANGERS me is that in all her life, no one around her either was smart enough, or CARED enough about her, to offer her any kind of real, actual, useful political or spiritual Enlightenment.
I think that what was done to her (by others, as well as herself) was a kind of Cosmic Unfairness deserving of a very specific kind of Hell.

This is the hollowness that has become Conservatism in America. And there are MILLIONS just like her. And since it's the Season of Giving and Charity, let me posit that it is OUR CHOSEN ROLE to educate, to Enlighten. No matter what it costs us. Even if they don't understand that what we're attempting to do is for their own social and economic benefit. WE KNOW.
I'm sure come the New Year (and the New GOP-controlled Congress) I'll feel differently.
But right now, I just kinda feel bad for my fellow citizens. What has been done to them for the sake of Money and exploitative Political Power, is unjust in every sense of the word.

Replies and comments are most welcome...

1. Locking, sorry, but political posts are against the SoP for The Lounge.
