Effective at the end of this month, Sarah Palin will step down as Governor of Alaska, presumably to pursue the Presidency in 2012. Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell will then take power in Alaska.
Republicans should rejoice at this unexpected news as she represents a firm commitment to conservative ideals. And so should the average American suffering through the skewed liberal policies of the Obama presidency as she also stands for a return to traditional, tried and true government roles. Details will undoubtedly follow in the coming months as Palin makes her run official.
IN OTHER NEWS: "By God, if I had such weapons, I would have used them in the fight against the United States." So said Saddam Hussein of the weapons of mass destruction bluff he pulled off in an effort mostly to deter his enemies in Iran, according to reporting on a recently obtained FBI document provided by FoxNews. There is, of course, a lesson here for both liberal extremists and the rest of the world--we will take threats seriously and punish nations accordingly. Or at least we will when we have a courageous President in office.
AND FINALLY: The hype over the coup in Honduras shouldn't be believed. President Manuel Zelaya was ousted as he tried to make a power grab, hoping to ignore the constitutional restriction on term limits with a referendum that was not sanctioned by Honduran congressional leaders or their Supreme Court. Add in the attempted and inappropriate removal of the military chief, some very close ties to Hugo Chavez, and an unapologetic drive towards socialism, and it's little wonder he now finds himself out of a job. And in case anyone was wondering, his removal was indeed legal and appropriate in upholding democratic institutions and virtues. Perhaps President Obama and his ilk might do well to remember this.
