Same goes for Willard Romney, Newt Gingrinch, and Mike Huckabee.
Agree or disagree?

I don't think that patriots favor bankrupting the people and putting our troops at risk for no good reason.

I don't think that patriots would've supported TARP either.

I don't think any patriot could ever be a member of the CFR.

Am I wrong?

In the 1930s, Sarah Palin would've been an accepted member of the Left; back then nationalism was a leftist movements.

The only declared war that was the least bit patriotic was the War of 1812, but only because it didn't involve sacrificing any american to get into, unlike the other 4. It still was more nationalist than patriotic though.

Wars to defend your own freedom is the only patriotic type of war. And the U.S. has never had one of those, other than the Revolution.

Hitler wasn't a patriot--he was a nationalist, so he was really anti-Aryan. His party staged a false flag attack, taxed the hell out of his citizens, ended the concept of decentralism, declared martial law, conscripted his own citizens, issued fiat money, cartelized industries, etc.

American citizens were being pressed into naval service by the British who considered people born in a crown controlled territory to be British subjects for life despite where they might currently reside.

So Americans were sacrificed.

But, IIRC, they were using those forced into Naval service to hinder the slave trade.

To say Palin has any well thought out position on about anything is basically absurd.'
On most things she tries something at random in seach of some sound byte that justifies
the position she took.

As long as its all talk, then talk is cheap, but if given elective leadership, the ideas have to stand the test of time with an exit strategy. And that takes critical thinking and reading history to find out how past implimations of the same idea played out, and in short a lot of hard work.

And hard work and Sarah Palin are contradictions in terms. Its far easier for Sarah to conjuer up the image of her as Moma Grizzley, when in fact Sarah is an intellectal feather weight and dumber than the average bear.
