Thanking GOD for “ Un-Guides ” – Sarah Palin … ( 09 / 01 / 2014 )
Unlike Barack Obama , who talks an " enlightened ", compassionate game but all too often enlivens exactly the opposite , Sarah Palin is a far more typical " False Prophet ", in that her divisive actions tend to match her divisive words , with both of them proving to be founded in -- and actively promoting -- fear , negativity , condemnation , aggression &/ or conflict … Her overall track record as a public figure makes it exceedingly clear that Sarah Palin is a woman who proudly stands for violence towards all she deems to be " enemies ", intolerance towards all who hold beliefs other than her own , and an active dismissal of any information that transcends the bounds of her comfort zone . In essence , she stands for conservatism , callousness & conflict in a time when humanity desperately needs open-mindedness , compassion & peace .
And as such , in line with the major premise of this short series of " Un- Guide Tributes ", instead of choosing to get upset with Sarah Palin , we can be thankful for her showing us the " un-Way " … Instead of ridiculing her more ridiculous statements or denigrating her more outrageous principles , we can choose to send her heartfelt compassion – compassion for a belief system that simply must be highly unsettling to own , and compassion for a set of values that simply must be highly disturbing to champion ... And then , from that more calm & caring frame of mind , we can then go lucidly forth into our own lives and actively do exactly the opposite of what Sarah Palin would have us do ... For example :
* When Sarah Palin tells us that " the only thing that stops a bad guy with a nuke is a good guy with a nuke " ( from her CPAC speech on March 8 , 2014 ), we can choose to reach out to our enemies with open acts of Kindness & Forgiveness .
* When Sarah Palin asks New Yorkers to " please refute the Ground Zero mosque plan " ( a Palin tweet from July 18 , 2010 ), we can continue to fully embrace that plan -- along with all plans like it and all members of all other religions as well ( and thereby uphold the 1st Amendment of the U . S . Constitution to boot ).
* When Sarah Palin encourages oil companies to " drill , baby , drill " ( a Palin
Facebook note on June 8 , 2010 ), we can actively campaign to END the use of all fossil fuels , and actively support the development & use of all Earth-friendly alternative energies .
* When Sarah Palin reminds us ( incorrectly ) that Paul Revere rode to warn the British " that they weren ' t gonna be takin ' away our arms " ( her speech on June 3 ,
2011 ), we can do everything in our power to stop the insanity that is gun violence ( an insanity conclusively linked as much to gun possession as it is to gun production ).
