Distant Drums at Sarah's Party
09/05/2008 -

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The American Right has just died and gone to heaven.

Last night's convention address by Sarah Palin here in St. Paul has confirmed the bold decision of John McCain to choose the Alaska governor as his co-pilot and united the Republican Party as it has not been since the second term of Ronald Reagan.

A wild enthusiasm for Sarah Palin has brought conservatives home to John McCain, and GOP leaders of all hues -- from Fred Thompson to Mitt Romney to Mike Huckabee to Rudy Giuliani -- to the rostrum to lacerate the liberal media for their five days of feral assaults on Sister Sarah.

The war the right lives for, against the people the right truly loathes -- the liberal media elite who savagely "Bork" every true conservative who gets on the path to national power -- has been reignited.

Positive polarization has been achieved. The Republican Party has been united and invigorated. The enthusiasm gap with the Democratic ticket has been closed. And the issues upon which the base loves to fight -- the Culture War and Right to Life -- are back on the table.

2. "Positive polarization has been achieved."

The slumbering populace has made them completely brazen about their tactics.

[Enthusiast]

4. You recognize that.

I wish the citizenry did. As if this country doesn't need some unity. Seems they want to usher in an era of armed conflict right here within our own borders.

3. Really? Then why was their convention so devoid of attendees?

Jesus, I've heard more howling and screaming at a Catholic wake than I did at the gop convention.

5. The Catholics are terrified of them too. n/t
