The problem is Sarah Palin's potential abuse of her powers as governor. If she really did fire the man because he wouldn't fire her brother-in-law, that is an abuse of power, no matter how bad either man was.

OK. So if someone is related to a head of state, they can do _whatever_ they want, as long as they are not "convicted," and the head of state should never be able to dismiss them? What if a an officer has seven women accusing him of rape, yet none will testify in court? Gets to stay on the job because having the head of the police fire the person, your in-law, is wrong?

Well, this just answered my previous pondering about vox pupuli, wilson, and artfuggins, et al!

The drumbeat. It's always there. Day and night. Rain or shine. Winter or Summer. Sunday or Monday. It comes at you from every direction. It comes over the TV, the radio, at work, at school, in music, in the newspapers, from the politicians, in conversation with others, even in church. It wears you down. It robs you of the will to resist its message. Even short-lived victories, which stop it briefly, leave you with the knowledge that it will return; each minor victory bound to be lost to the redoubled efforts of this patient and persistent force. You can't escape it. It never stops. It never gives up. It never ends. It rains upon you from every possible angle, from every possible source.

It's the drumbeat of the left. It is political, philosophical, theological, and social. It pervades every activity. It is post-structural, post-modern, post-everything in the parlance of the day. It is tolerant, diverse, non-judgmental, non-discriminatory, egalitarian, politically correct, multicultural, globalist, and collectivist. It insists that there are no rights and wrongs, no moral absolutes. It turns everything upside down in its looking glass world. It denies the correctness of all that produced what our culture revered before the deconstruction of the world in accordance with the tenets of cultural Marxism...

You know...I've never been able to decide if vox populi and artfuggins are really as ignorant of facts as they indicate, or if they are just pretending.

Sorry, Vox, No lying here about the facts. She is cooperating with the only statutorily granted method of investigating hiring/firing: the state's personnel commission. The folks in the legislature, including both Democrats and Republicans, trying to bring down Palin are part of the corrupt political culture which has ruled Alaska for decades. The only people pushing this investigation are corrupt pols who want to end the reform movement Palin represents. She is cutting into their bottom line. They've been getting rich off the government largesse for years and Palin is shutting off the tap. The Obama campaign quickly moved in with their attorneys to advise pro Obama legislators who are part of the investigation--three in total, plus friend of Monagan's who is supposed to be conducting a fair and impartial investigation. This is all a load of crap and you know it, but you are such a blind partisan, you think it is funny. It is people like you that absolutely makes me sick of politics. You don't wish to accomplsh anything good from the political process. It's all sick and demented games to win for your party. The hell with the country and the hell with right and wrong.

2 responses:

1. There is ample evidence that the state police head was fired for insubordination regarding the legislative process. Refusing to fire the trooper was probably part of it, but by no means the whole thing.

2. Why is it that the same people who call for immediate firing of any police officer who manhandles an uncooperative suspect are now saying an Alaska state trooper who tasered an 11-year old, misused his official position, abused his wife and threatened her father should somehow be retained?

You have missed the whole point. It is not the jo...

You have missed the whole point. It is not the job of the governor to get rid of her brother in law who may or may not have beaten her sister. The state police have an entire code of conduct and procedure to investigate and take action. If he did what he is accused of then the state police should terminate him.....but without the pressure and intimidation of the governor.

Um, clearly we aren't "defending wifebeaters." (by...

Um, clearly we aren't "defending wifebeaters." (by the way, he was convicted of this when??? where's the police report, etc....?)

The problem is Sarah Palin's potential abuse of her powers as governor. If she really did fire the man because he wouldn't fire her brother-in-law, that is an abuse of power, no matter how bad either man was.

If she fired him for a truly legitimate reason, then there is nothing to the story. But the fact that the campaign has chosen not to cooperate (even after she said early this year "hold me accountable) certainly tells us that she, not Monegan, has something to hide.
