To You and Everyone Else: Grow Up!

I am sick of people making Sarah Palin their scapegoat just to fit into their elitist milieu (even if it's in South Boston or Brooklyn and you speak with an even more unsophisticated tone than she does). If you agree with her, have some sense of solidarity as an American, get over your blue-state egotism--which is richly undeserved--and say so! Do you really think that the mullahs in Iran who hesitate to voice Ahmadinejad's mahdism publicly disagree with him privately, and that they will fail to support him when he and Khamene'i pull the trigger? Their eventual unity must be met by yours, so don't wait to rally around the flag when it is burning, and you will be thinking of only maintaining your pride under a new veneer.
