It's working for me, Sarah Palin

Working at Wal-Mart has made me a bit behind the times when it comes to actually sitting down and reading the blogs and magazines I used to read. I'm trying to play catch up with the whole Tea Party thing and how Sarah Palin is just a attention/glory whore. Wait, maybe that's not accurate. Maybe she's actually just a middle-aged sorority girl trying to be the girl next door.

Anyhoo...I had a friend (conservative to the core, by the way) say that the Tea Party and Sarah Palin would be the ruin of the Republican party. I mentioned that to a liberal friend after work tonight and she said, "Good. We need another political party in this country."

It was really refreshing to hear that because it's true. There were no political parties at the very beginning of our nation, but soon enough, we split off into several parties. Most didn't last very long, but that's the nature of the game, I suppose. But we need more political parties in this country because there is no real dialogue. If there is no dialogue, there is only politically correctness and that won't get us anywhere. There will be no hope, there will be no change. This nation will rot from inside.

But the Tea Party movement is a disgrace. They're angry at anybody and everybody. What good is that going to do anyone? They approve the use of violence to meet their ends. Terrorism, anyone? Yet the Republicans, still trying to come together after the election, send Sarah Palin to wink, nod, and give their implicit approval to the Tea Party's actions.

Go down Moses, go down. I'll stay with the professor of law and support his hopey-changey stuff like universal health care, student loan reform, and the reform, if not repeal of don't ask, don't tell.

Cause that's how I roll. That's how America should roll.
